Y’all need to learn how to 'yes AND'. There’s a lot of rejecting or dismissing facts because the framing is incorrect/immoral/trite, etc. but that’s doesn’t change the FACT. You can still use and share the FACT while altering or arguing against the framing in which said information was shared.

They're running from it now. But the fact that Senate Republicans tried to give 10 of their colleagues at least $1 million each for nothing but a bogus press op captures the corruption of Trump II. In no other environment wld this even occur to the most corrupt politicians.

My friend @drannieandrews.com will be Lindsey Graham's opponent.
She is a pediatric surgeon who has performed spinal surgeries on children, running against a grownup with no spine. Dr. Andrews is poised to perform a full Lindsey-ectomy on the United States Senate.

It is incredible to see NY Times and other media outlets present Trump's extrajudicial killings as something normal.
It is not normal for a president to blow up boats in international waters because his opinion is that they are drug dealers. Evidence matters. Names matter. Due process matters.

The important thing is not whether the Trump performing sexual favors for Bill Clinton thing is true. The important thing is that we all pretend it’s true, and that someone asks Trump about it every day.

US prisons are fucked up.
Maxwell is only able to receive minimally humane treatment because she has dirt on Trump
or he thinks she does or she’ll lie for him. Or for some other corrupt reason.

People are roasting this lede, but NYM is actually correct to print it. Toilet paper is so scarce in prisons that it is sometimes used as a currency.
It shouldn't be restricted, for any person, but the fact that it isn't for her (and her alone) is a sign of extremely special treatment.

Apparently, Ghislaine Maxwell is living it up in prison with unlimited toilet paper. Here’s what we know about her alleged special privileges at her new federal prison camp in Texas.

I think Democrats should talk more about Trump trying to block the "Epstein videos" the "Epstein photos" because I really don't think he's that worried about his name showing up on yet another list, that he can spin. Also, "files" sounds so clerical.

Here is a good explanation of the currency swap bailout of Argentina- it is $20B so far - basically, we bought Argentine pesos at market price to shore up their currency. At that moment, no loss to us. The risk to taxpayers is that those pesos devalue.
