You can tell it isn’t an insurrection because nobody has set up gallows for the vice president in an effort to scare him into changing election results

When someone like Vindman is saying this, things are dark. He’s not posting 4th hand information. Don’t consult your hope when assessing what’s up ahead. It will lead you astray. Base your plans on reality.

If you want to know why Trump and Johnson didn’t do funding for the border and deportations as a standalone bill months ago like many Republicans wanted, this is why.

After all the shit that Trump has done for the last 10 years, the bridge too far for Rand Paul was getting uninvited to a picnic.

I’m begging politicians to stop saying “Let me be clear” at the beginning of every statement. “At the end of the day” can go too.

It’s Bonny & Clyde without the passion, fashion sense, physical courage, or the decency to rob people face to face. bsky.app/profile/meid...

IMPORTANT: Stop calling the troops in LA National Guard Troops. They are not. When Trump activated them against the wishes of the Gov they became FEDERAL troops… like the 82nd airborne with no Law enforcement power! Don’t let them confuse you!

The Dem Senators who broke party lines on a procedural motion vote for the stablecoin bill are not a surprise. They are well-predicted by the pro-crypto "Stand With Crypto" site: 16 of the top 18 Dem Senators as ranked for their support for crypto voted yes. www.standwithcrypto.org/politicians

Sen. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social : “Trump is not telling the truth. Local officials can handle this… we have to point out the danger of what he’s doing in LA while also keeping our eye on the ball as he pushes an unpopular bill that will transform our economy and ruin a lot of lives.”

Senate Agriculture text is out (this has the SNAP cuts). Will go through it in this thread.

If you taken into consideration the entire history of the SBC, it’s only within the last 40 years that the convention has passed these types of resolutions. In fact, in 1971, SBC passed a resolution in support of legal abortion under several circumstances.

There’s no way this Iran thing can be that serious because Trump is at a show at the Kennedy Center right now and he would be working hard at the WH if there was a problem.

Everyone can come to the party except Rand’ has been happening to him since he was 4 years old.

Today's thread may have been broken earlier, if you have problems scrolling, just pick up from here:

Wednesday 11 June - Day 1204 of Russia's 3 day operation to take Kyiv and wrap up the whole war within 10 days. Ukraine is still free, Russia's leader is an indicted war criminal, and yet, on Day 143 of Trump's presidency, the war is no nearer a resolution. So here's another🧵
