I can't put into the words the visceral hatred I feel towards the administration in the US. The pain their behaviour is causing to Ukrainians is unforgivable.

Ukrainians have russians terrorising them with missiles & drones. Now the US is terrorising them with russian demands for capitulation.

Too late. Marco Rubio already spilled the truth. The so called peace plan was Russia’s wish list, not something the US drafted. He’s trying to walk it back but the damage is done.

He’s scrambling.

This is one of the big accounts boosting Tommy Robinson, Farage and Reform and ‘English Patriots’.

"The Attorney General of the United States has set a new low for this committee," Whitehouse said.

Shouldn't doing what Pam Bondi is accusing James Comey of doing be a scandal that would make her have to resign? In her case it's is easily proven that she lied to the committee.

Twitter now displays where accounts are from and it has confirmed that too many of the political accounts are out of country bots.

Why are folks still there? To argue with bots? A waste of precious time while enriching the richest man on Earth.

Delete your account.

CASSIDY: I know it's titillating, but I think we need to move beyond the titillation

TAPPER: This isn't about titillation. This is about the fact that you are the chairman of the health committee and you voted to confirm somebody that by all accounts is actually making America less healthy

This is my kind of good trouble.
In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”

Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

Boris Johnson and the Entire Tory Cabinet should BE IN JAIL for this.

And the true number of dead from their incompetence is probably much, much higher.

PEOPLE DIED while they channelled £Billions of tax cash to their friends family, and donors.

Numerous House Dems have now filed reports with the Capitol Police on Trump's call for their execution, WaPo reports. Rep Chrissy Houlahan discussed the need for this on our pod yesterday:

Democrats seek police action on Trump’s ‘threatening’ social media posts
Lawmakers responded to Trump writing that they should be arrested and potentially punished by death for encouraging service members to disobey illegal orders.

They’re counting on exhaustion to win.
We’re betting on discipline. #Holdfast

The coup doesn’t need victory. It just needs us to quit.
We don’t. #Holdfast

America doesn’t fall because villains rise.
It falls when defenders stop holding the line. #Holdfast👇👇👇

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.

We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.

We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.
