“The $400 million private jet that the government of Qatar gifted to Donald Trump is the Michael Jordan’s house of private planes,” says Chris Hayes. “It turns out, no one wanted to buy Qatar’s hand-me-downs… it looks like Qatar finally found a sucker to pawn it off to.”

If this is true, it's a shameful case of Senate Dems again throwing out REAL leverage in exchange for fake concessions. "Actually, genuinely oppose the bill that would enable Trump to hoover up billions of dollars in crypto cash" is the lowest bar imaginable for Dems. Why can't they clear it?

Three justices on the North Carolina Supreme Court who tried to steal this election for Griffin are up for election in 2028: Paul Newby, Phil Berger Jr., and Tamara P. Barringer. When Election Day comes around, I hope the state's voters remember what these lawless partisans tried to do here.

Whatever impostor syndrome you may have once had, dispose of it fucking immediately. If these people run the country, you deserve that promotion, you can run for city council, you can start that business. If this is the baseline, shit, you can do surgery drunk in an alley and you will do less harm.

Using "recently deputized" ICE agents who don't follow procedure and perform arrests in plainclothes wearing masks and refuse to show badges is a great way to generate a violent situation. It's only a matter of time before these cowboys encounter "stand your ground" and it'll be 100% their fault.

Even established authoritarian regimes consider arresting defiant judges an extreme tactic—a serious escalation usually reserved for after one-party rule is firmly entrenched. Seeing a judge arrested in the US today should alarm everyone who values democratic governance. This cannot be allowed. 🧵
