Collins: Just to be clear, you're voting for someone who you believe tried to subvert the peaceful transfer of power, that can’t even achieve his own policies, that lied about the election, who is facing 88 criminal counts  Barr: The answer is yes.

It’s only hard to understand if you ignore the entire history and structure of policing.

Well, the FedSoc justices pretty much disgraced themselves and their fake pet theories in yesterday’s oral argument on presidential immunity.🧵

“Donald Trump is nothing if not a dreamer. In seeking to return to the Presidency, it’s as though he has reimagined America as a kingdom and himself the king, an absolute ruler whose actions, no matter how sordid, cannot be stopped or subject to prosecution in a court of law. And…

Today’s SCOTUS argument on Trump’s criminal immunity revealed an activist conservative majority that wants to provide presidential immunity. To do so, they must get around Nixon v Fitzgerald (1982), which clearly states there is no criminal immunity for presidents. For example,…

Every time i watch this it's worse. She tries to appeal to the humanity of cops pushing or kneeling on a student's head and gets her own head thrown to the concrete. Utterly indefensible

It is worth watching this CNN video from the moment Emory Econ Professor @CarolineFohlin came across the violent arrest of a protester on campus and asked the police, with shock, "What are you doing?" That's all that prompted an officer to hurl her to the ground and handcuff her.

I am in shock that a lawyer stood in the U.S Supreme Court and said that a president could assassinate his political opponent and it would be immune as "an official act." I am in despair that several Justices seemed to think this answer made perfect sense.

He’s not just the most cognitively-impaired person ever elected. He’s genuinely evil. Every instinct, every decision, every action is formulated as a product of selfishness & malevolence. There may be no one alive less-suited to lead America, & that’s why Republicans love him.

This is clearly no longer a "hush money" case to cover up the sexual dalliance of a rich man. This is step by step an election interference conspiracy to influence the election. What will make you sick if some journalist will do it is tracing how these fake stories in the…

Honest talk on "school choice". 🧵 We have a son who is having a hard time in public school as resources are stretched thin. So we applied him for private school hoping the smaller class size would help with teachers that are not always feeling like their job is under fire.

(1/2) One of the Trump legal team arguments is that he is "a family man" that was trying to hide his affair to protect his family, not obfuscate facts to win an election. The man is a serial adulterer, who's on freakin' tape talking about grabbing women's privates, and has been…

Also a Columbia grad (1970). This is an important thread. Let students protest peacefully. The current Columbia leadership seems to have forgotten many of the lessens from the 60s and following years.

1. Governor Greg Abbott, in a speech to the Young Conservatives of Texas, stated that Texas must "end" trans and gender-nonconforming teachers. The statement was then echoed by multiple Texas GOP officials and candidates.

I don't know what Judge Merchan is going to do in Tuesday's gag order violation hearing. I don't know what I would do in his place. I've heard that prosecutors are only asking for a modest fine but are also asking for a stern warning that uses the word jail. (As I used to say,…

Psychopathologies as aberrant as Trump's are neither controllable, nor curable. He cannot pivot, sit still, shut up, or stop. He cannot see beyond himself. EVER. He cannot feel empathy, shame, or contrition. Not that he WON'T ... he CAN'T! He is an emotional void, comprised only…

As we've often tweeted, malignant narcissists fear humiliation. Among the things they'd prefer not to encounter, that add difficulty to their penchant for presenting an air of supremacy and grandiosity, are stories about their uncontrolled flatulence. And they of course would…
