Schiff: "He waited until he became president. Why did he wait to bring this $10b lawsuit? He waited so he would have the power of the presidency to leverage the IRS and DOJ to make him more money!"

While the latest headlines hint at yet another ceasefire deal, the Dept. of Defense plays games with the true number of dead & wounded. @markhertling.bsky.social delivers his blunt assessment of what's going on in Iran & why each loss of life is more than just a number. youtu.be/rTamGFJPfAU?...

Notice DOJ doesn't talk about its efforts to obtain state voter files anymore. They are 0-20 in those cases and today is the beginning of the quiet period -- states can no longer do systematic removals of names from the voter rolls. TLDR: We won!🥳

Whoever advised Max Miller to go on to Jake Tapper’s show secretly hates him. What a catastrophic interview
Great news! We only torched 80% of our missile interceptors. That leaves a full 20% for the next war. Which starts Tuesday. Relax. Raytheon’s on it. Delivery date: 2031. P.S. Duck.
After Trump lost in 2020, Flynn threatened a “shooting civil war” and urged Trump to suspend the Constitution and declare martial law so the military could conduct a new election. That’s the kind of person who got $1.25 million of your money. 3/4🧵
Michael Flynn calls for Trump to suspend the constitution and declare martial law to re-run election
‘Only then can the winning candidate be accepted as legitimate’

The payoff to Flynn was a forerunner of what Trump wanted to do with his $1.8B slush fund to pay insurrectionists who beat up cops at the Capitol on Jan. 6. Republicans are pretending that shameful idea is “dead,” but they could reinstate it after Todd Blanche gets confirmed as AG. 4/4🧵
How Cornyn and Tillis’ deal on Blanche falls short of their demands
Trump has already said the GOP senators didn’t get anything beyond what Todd Blanche had already said.

In December 2015, before Trump won the presidency and chose Michael Flynn as his national security adviser, Flynn took a $45,000 fee for giving a speech in Moscow at an event for RT, a state-controlled Russian “news” outlet. Russian dictator Vladimir Putin sat beside him at the banquet. 2/4🧵
Russians paid Mike Flynn $45k for RT speech, documents show
The former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency earned more than $50,00 from giving speeches RT and two other Russian companies.

🧵🧵🧵 A scandal that hardly anyone knows happened is Trump giving traitor Michael Flynn $1.25 million in your tax money. Flynn, Trump’s 1st national security adviser, pleaded guilty twice to lying to the FBI but was pardoned by Trump. He sued, alleging "weaponization," and DOJ paid him in March. 1/4🧵

The agreement was an extraordinary example of how the Trump administration has offered legal relief to those aligned with the president.

Republican Senators are voting to confirm Trump’s lawyer to be AG when it just came out that Capital One shut down Trump’s accounts under suspicion of money laundering and Trump wants exemption from being investigated for tax fraud. THESE PEOPLE ARE CRIMINALS.
I guess Max Miller figures that some Ohio voters keep reelecting Jim Jordan so he might as well stay in.
🚨BREAKING: Missouri voters have rejected a ballot measure to limit their own ability to pass amendments to the state constitution — a proposal that fueled extraordinarily high voter turnout in Tuesday’s election. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Missouri voters reject ballot measure limiting their power to amend state constitution
Notably, the proposed amendment would not have affected constitutional amendments that the legislature put on the ballot. State lawmakers only wanted to make it harder to pass a voter-led measure, not...

What a surprise, the alleged abuser was jacking himself up on testosterone.
If you thought John Mitchell or Bill Barr were bad… just you wait.
These are insane numbers. If El-Sayed wins after being outspent by this much, wow, watch out!
Polymarket has millions of dollars in wildfire-related bets & more than $1M in beds were placed on the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires! DESPICABLE! THE PREDICTION MARKET PROMOTES THE OBSTRUCTION FIREFIGHTERS OR FOLKS TO GO OUT AND COMMIT ARSON! It's absolutely nuts!

France calls out the U.S. at a UN meeting: “The US used to be a beacon of human rights. Not anymore. Today, it stands alongside North Korea, Nicaragua, Mali and Russia. Isolated. And the world no longer listens to it.” U.S. representatives stormed out of the meeting. Well said France! 👏🏼🇫🇷👏🏼

We can hardly wait. Our Congress passed a bill demanding that this happen, but they seem too corrupt/intimidated to follow up on it. We're hoping to replace most of them soon, but whatever you can do will be helpful & much appreciated. #ProudBlue
I'm so f*cking tired of this sh*t. If this happened under Biden or Obama or any other president, it would be a five alarm fire. This level of incompetence is infuriating. And the lack of accountability just makes it worse.
