So he spent £6000 instead of £30 by taking a helicopter instead of the train, but he also generated ~1100 kg of CO2 instead of ~10kg per person for the train. (No idea how many people were in the helicopter)

“Sunak uses helicopter for trip that would have taken just over an hour by train”

Helicopter use cannot be casual - it must be a last resort, when there are no other options.

A 14-year-old girl was shot in the head for playing hide and seek in the wrong yard. The homeowner saw shadows, grabbed his gun, and shot at people running away. At no point was his life in any danger at all--he was fearful for no reason, but he had the gun and used it anyway.

Let's call these people what they are: Cowards. He was a man-sized baby with a weapon who shot first because he was too cowardly to take a moment to evaluate a situation.

Elie Mystal, again:

When #Trump uses campaign funds to pay E. Jean Carroll $5 million dollars and doesn't record it properly, that will be another bookkeeping offense.

I want to get that on the record now so I can say "I told you so" in 2029 when a prosecutor finally gets around to looking into that

Will Trump have to register as a sex offender? That would be the logical next step.

I wonder if Tacopina got paid a flat fee up front or a big retainer. Because he won’t see a penny more coming out of Mar-a-Lago.

@QasimRashid

Money doesn't matter to a person who can have other people pay for it. At minimum, register him as a sex offender and don't allow him near underage people.

Congratulations @ejeancarroll and thank you for standing up to a dangerous, depraved, despicable person. Today is an important day - accountability has come for Donald Trump. May this be the beginning of a justice trend. Because #JusticeMatters

@Burnt_Veggies @GottaLaff per MSNBC just now Carroll admitted in testimony she couldn't be sure he actually did penile insertion. And I'd add that her supporting witnesses also didn't testify to that particular crime.

So it makes sense. Still vindication for her on many many levels

This will be a thread of the many other women who have made specific allegations of sexual assault against Trump

🧵

This is a monumental verdict and I hope it gets the attention it deserves.

There are more than a dozen other women who allege that they were sexually assaulted by Trump

It's time we take these women are taken seriously
