You guys, we are living through a coup 2.0. Except this time it looks like it will be successful, and a puerile, right-wing billionaire, not even POTUS, is going to be in charge of the U.S. Treasury, government personnel, and basically all of our personal data.

THREAD: Today is a sad day for justice. Jack Smith and the DoJ are bound by the Constitution to dismiss the charges against Trump. It's unlikely that charges will be brought again in four years, but the DoJ doesn't want to close the door completely and has asked for dismissal without prejudice. 1/

If I ran MSNBC, I would:
1. Make the @theweekendmsnbc.bsky.social a daily show;
2. Give @mollyjongfast.bsky.social a daily show; and
3. Beg @nicollewallace.bsky.social to add another hour.
But, I don't run MSNBC.

What's behind Trump’s gonzo cabinet nominations?
Flood the zone? Yes, but it's deeper than that.
Trump wants to deflect our attention while he and his fellow billionaires loot America.
He's on his way to creating a government of billionaires, by billionaires, for billionaires.
