In case anyone needs a refresher as to how we arrived at this point, the trouble began in earnest in January. With just 3 days remaining before his presidential inauguration, #Trump found time to launch one last post-election #grift: Without explanation or defense, the #Republican & his family started selling a #cryptocurrency token.

It still seems hard to believe, but in the last #Congress, the #House #Republican majority formally launched an #impeachment inquiry against Joe #Biden. The endeavor never made any sense, but the underlying allegation was that the Democratic president was somehow the beneficiary of a weird #bribery scheme.

It's an idea for the concept of a plan that everyone will know about in two weeks.

This is bad.

Posse Comitatus? Who's she?

So good. Rep. Jake Auchincloss just flipped the entire #Fox script on Will Cain in real time & stayed calm & collected the entire time.

This is how you go on Fox & deliver the facts and our message to them. A masterclass on #communication.

Sen Ossoff: Trump is "selling access for what are effectively pymts directly to him," -contest "an impeachable offense."

Profits by:

*Owns 800M tokens. So a $6⬆️is worth $4.8B on paper

*Collects fees on every trade. ($1.6M in the 24 hrs after -contest ann)

Many of the ldrs don't appear to be from the US.

The user currently in 2nd pl, "MeCo," purchased most of his Trump tokens thru a ver of the Binance exch unavail to US users.

#Trump lied to Time that he was clearly speaking “in jest” when he said he’d end the war in #Ukraine on day one.

Here are *53* times he promised, in a serious context and tone, that he’d have the #war settled in 24 hours or even before he took office:

Sure the chicken will kill you but at least you won’t have to read about Black airmen!

For me, this is the best image symbolizing what Gen AI actually is. A black box, burning the planet, understood best, paradoxically, through technological means.

What you see here is a thermal image of xAI's Datacenter in Memphis, where 33 methane power generators are burning without permission.

“A Cuban woman living in Tampa who came to the United States in 2019 and is married to a U.S. citizen was abruptly detained by immigration authorities and deported to Cuba on Thursday, leaving behind her one-year-old child. The baby is distressed and does not want to eat. Imagine, they ripped the child from her mother’s arms at the immigration office; the cries of that woman in there could be heard back in Cuba, Valle said of his wife’s desperation at being separated from her daughter.
