Goodbye to my fearless friend, #AlexeiNavalny
by #MichaelMcFaul Vladimir #Putin killed my friend Alexei #Navalny this week. There will be a time & place to discuss the politics & how the free world should respond. For now, I want to share a few memories.

Family member was surprised/flabbergasted when EMTs showed up not wearing masks for a bleeding issue & ranted about possible spurting blood in their faces and how stupid they were.
Me: Yep.
It apparently wasn't this way up until last week.
Gee, I wonder what could've happened to make things different.
Looking at you CDC.
@sungo The only change I would make is to get the kind that goes up high, so you’re not stooping over. I could whiz along pretty fast with that thing! @epicdemiologist
@sungo Have you considered a rollator? I spent 2 years with that before moving to the crutches. @epicdemiologist
@sungo Those are the ones I had!! And yes, ridiculously expensive. But when you’re doing the zombie chemo shuffle and can’t feel your feet from the neuropathy, they really make your life better. @epicdemiologist
@sungo The opening isn’t big enough to go over a coat, and takes forever to slide into. @epicdemiologist
@sungo Let me know what you wind up with. @epicdemiologist
Freethought Democrats object to Pastor Jack Hibbs as guest chaplain, say he’s Christian nationalist.
When asked about the lawmakers' letter criticizing Hibbs' selection, representatives for Speaker Mike Johnson asked to see a copy, but declined to answer followup questions.
For clarity
$364m is the total. $4m for Don Jr, $4m for Eric, $1m for Allen Weisselberg — and $355m for Trump himself
The opinion calmly, yet brutally, details Eric Trump’s lying on the stand and how he was repeatedly shown to be lying. 2/
The biggest flex right now—if Trump were actually the insanely successful billionaire he claims to be—would be writing a check as if it’s a mere nuisance and moving on.
7/ Via Kyle Griffin:
Don Jr. and Eric Trump have each been ordered to pay $4 million in ill-gotten gains.
@sungo The cuff doesn’t really provide any support at all. I have seen, but never used, the kind that are called “forearm” crutches, where you rest your entire forearm on a plate and hen hold the “handle.” Those would give you excellent support, I imagine. @epicdemiologist
Per Rupar, as news is breaking about his huge fine, Trump is ranting on Lies Antisocial about pics of him w/ his stomach hanging out over his belt while he's golfing as fakes, posting other pics side by side.
And...
