BREAKING: In a terrifying and un-American moment, Donald Trump just reiterated his position that he will not defend our NATO allies should they be invaded by Russia. Retweet to make sure every American sees this and knows how dangerous Trump is.

Can we talk about Netanyahu? Netanyahu's not Biden's friend. Netanyahu wants Trump to win & has not been the friend of any Democratic president in his career. Netanyahu's not the Israeli people's friend. Netanyahu is only Netanyahu's friend. He's harming Israel & the US.

@JazzyJ87283918 That's ONE odd thing. Sure. It's nutty at multiple levels. What motive? Why would Ds want to obstruct certification of a vote they won? Occam's Razor comes to mind. And "entrapment" doesn't work like this:

BREAKING: We just broke the record for the number of donors in 24 hours. The previous record was after Marjorie Taylor Greene's foolish behavior at the SOTU. Does the latest bump have anything to do with MTG's exchange with Dr. Fauci? Retweet and keep them coming (link in bio).

J6 organizer Amy Kremer has won National Committeewoman in Georgia after Mike Flynn endorsed herβ€”in a state where they tried to overthrow the election results in 2020. Stop pretending any of this is politics. This lunatic should be in a cell. Our country is under attack. AGAIN.

@Angry_Staffer End judicial review, at least by lower courts. It's nowhere in the Constitution.

@chrislhayes What happens in the civil realm is not germane. Appellate proceedings, where this *is* occasionally allowed, are also irrelevant. This, of course, is a criminal case, and is in a U.S. district court. I participated in those for 30 yrs., & I've never seen anything of the sort.

@BeschlossDC United States Military Academy and Harvard JD. It's not as if he doesn't know what he's doing. I'm afraid that makes him a traitor.

@eliehonig I worked for the United States Courts for 36 yrs (retired 2020). I initially respected the "3rd branch" for remaining apolitical. I defended the fed courts (w/ diminishing zest) over those 36 yrs. And I'm utterly dismayed now. I advocate ● expanding the court so as to 1/

@JDCocchiarella I don't know. It's a tough call. In dealing with a viral pandemic, do you trust the person who's a virologist and epidemiologist and has devoted 45 years to serving the public or the one who sought to enrich himself as a TV huckster?

@costareports So basically McCarthy got a prom date by asking 13 times and promising not to dance with her (or look at her, or object when she leaves for the after party with another guy), no?

@MeidasTouch Three years ago, a friend of mine met a guy in a Dunkin Donuts in Tuscaloosa who said Rep. Comer breaks into sorority houses and steals panties. He said he had tapes. My friend hasn't been able to locate the guy since. But that just compounds the suspicion.

@rogertansey I'm old and a long way away but I hope the streets around the NRA convention are filled with protestors. And I hope the protestors have placard sized photos of those dear, dear children to hold high.
