@DemocracyMattersALot We’ve been in this “very bad place” since republicans took over The House.

(again, I have not yet figured out how to do the full retweeting with links to news stories here on these 3 services)

(but)

(this is huge, Yuge and Bigly)

Chesebro seems to have accepted plea bargain. Will testify against Trumpomobsters

(stay tuned, need to verify)

Jordan just tied the record for the fewest number of votes (194) for a majority nominee since the House was set at 435 members. He’s shedding numbers like Xitter.

Judge Engoron has called Trump's lawyers in and asked them why he should not send Trump to jail for violating the gag order he imposed in the NY Civil fraud case. #Accountability

Immediate cease fire, and immediate access for humanitarian aid would be a start.

In the long term, I'd like to see a democratic Palestinian state, and Israel guaranteed security within the 1967 borders.

Here’s what I want say to JimJordan, KevinMcCarthy before him, and even DonaldTrump:

Suck it up buttercup. Don’t be a snowflake. Pull yourself up by your bootstraps. It’s not the community’s responsibility to help you. If you can’t achieve your goals all by yourself even with walls of white men and the justice system pilling upon you, you don’t deserve them. Your lack is just a sign you haven’t worked hard enough. You haven’t earned it. Survival of the fittest my dudes.

New York Attorney General #LetitiaJames' office has suggested that the #Trump Org. failed to produce evidence in the Trump civil fraud trial — citing a recent Forbes report accusing ex-Trump Org. CFO Allen #Weisselberg of lying under oath. #legal

To all the people crying about "Why shouldn't YouTube be allowed to make money from ads!"

If I print a newspaper entirely funded through advertising revenue - and you pick up a free copy, do you think it is ok for me to break in to your house to make sure you are looking at the ads?

Because that is what YouTube are doing when they deploy their spyware to detect #adblockers
#privacy is a #fundamentalright - fight for it or lose it.

NEW: a MAGA sheriff is running for election in 3 weeks in Virginia, with ties to countless far-right groups & a rabidly anti-immigration agenda.

But now there's more: He's running while under federal indictment for bribery & fraud.

She got a gun for protection after a neighbor attacked her. She felt safer ... until her 2-y-o found the gun in her purse one day. He shot himself and died.

Guns don't keep you safer. Stop believing the NRA's lies and propaganda.

I hope that Gym Jordan and the rest of his un-Freedom Caucus are not going to manage to get a Republican elected Speaker of the House, but I hope that our country has a Speaker before too long or at least a pro tempore Speaker that can bring some bills to the floor.

Hahaha! Yah, then I make an obscene amount of chicken fingers and stuff my face much to everyone's delight.
