As you read about #Kushner advising that #Israel ethnically clean Palestinians out of their home to build a beach resort, remember that at his behest, on December 22, 2016, Mike Flynn "colluded" w/Russia to protect Bibi Netanyhu fr accountability for illegal West Bank settlements. 1/...

The Supreme Court did not release a decision on #SouthCarolina's congressional map today.
South Carolina had asked SCOTUS to rule by Jan. 1, 2024 so the state could have ample time to draw new districts if needed. #SCOTUS

#Trump has attacked Judge Arthur Engoron half a dozen times this morning — including calling him "a Crazed, Trump Hating, Rogue Judge."

Engoron, along with his court staff, have received numerous threatening messages from Trump supporters since the civil fraud trial.

Reddit and Google's YouTube were ordered by a New York state judge to face lawsuits seeking to hold them responsible for helping enable the avowed white supremacist who killed 10 Black people in 2022 at a Buffalo, New York grocery store.

The thing Trump did in Dayton – celebrating his fascist movement's dubious "martyrs"–is exactly what Goebbels & Hitler did bw Nazis' failed coup & their seizure of power. Their song was called the Horst Wessel Song.

Nazis were obsessive abt being the victims. Once in power they put up monuments to their "martyrs." They sang their Horst Wessel Song as they conquered countries & killed millions to say that they, Nazis, were real victims and therefore always innocent.

Yet Trump wasn’t the target for possible gag orders and McAffee’s zingers, #FaniWillis was.

And just like that, Lara Trump has become the second most embarrassing #RNC leader.

RNC Chair Whatley: At the end of the day, this comes down to a very simple contrast between President #Trump and President #Biden. Were you better off four years ago than you are today? The answer for this entire country is no

Please read my thread, which says this, but I'm still getting responses that sound worried.

Some are wrongly reporting that Trump’s call to Ratffensperger was thrown out. No! It remains as part of the Rico conspiracy—namely Act 112.
