Intro:
Today I embark on threading the entire final Jack Smith Report, every word, post by post. A post (or two) per day. Just a little daily exercise to get me through the next 4 years and beyond. For posterity. For sanity. For democracy.

With her runoff victory tonight, Eileen Higgins will be Miami's next mayor—the first woman in the city’s history and the first Democrat in nearly 30 years elected to the office.

Congrats, Mayor-elect!

This week infectious disease physician Jake Scott (@jakescottmd.bsky.social ) returns TWiV to discuss the dangerous anti-vaccine policies being established in the US.

Here, Jake walks us through his own background and how his clinical experience led him into this work.

Wittman is circling like a merry-go-round that occasionally stops in front of you. Some points are correct but obscured by selective propaganda techniques. We'd like to see Wittman face his constituents and tell us what's in store for 2026 and beyond. Perhaps then we can stop spinning.

While he postures as a protector of rural Virginia, Wittman’s claims are deliberate disinformation that conceals how he, the Trump regime, and Republicans in Congress are crucifying healthcare to deliver tax breaks to the wealthy. /end

Great thread by @wittmanwatch.bsky.social

We need a leader, not a liar.
Wittman and Republican’s desperation is on full display with his latest volley of disinformation about HR1 and Medicaid. This “mythbusting” is blatant, deliberate nonsense dressed up in Rob’s “moderate everyman” clothing. This is simply disgraceful. Here’s why. 🧵

TRUMP: THE DRUG TRAFFICKER’S FRIEND

Why is he blowing up boats with low-level drug runners,
and letting the kingpins go free?

Despite his anti-drug rhetoric, Donald Trump has issued more pardons to drug dealers than any president in history.

DOJ wants to force American Oversight to get rid of three pages of a FOIA complaint that lays out DOJ's Jeffrey Epstein cover-up.

Here's some of what they're asking to strike.

Glad to see this
Texas Democrats just did something historic under the leadership of new state party chair @kendallscudder.bsky.social. We have filed a candidate in EVERY 2026 race.

U.S. Senate: 1 of 1
U.S. House: 38 of 38
State Senate: 15 of 15
State House: 150 of 150
State Board of Education: 8 of 8
We Did It, Texas Dems, We Did It
Candidates in every legislative, statewide, and federal race. Now it’s time to build power where it counts.

Remember that the Repub's/Wittman's comms strategy is to mollify the faithful, enrage his opposition, and confuse the neutrals/independents so they disengage entirely. Pushing back with clear facts is vital - just as @nuslmom.bsky.social does here. 👏👏👏
@wittmanwatch.bsky.social @henricodems.bsky.social @bluevirginia.bsky.social
Today’s Wittman gaslighting attempt states under Big Blameworthy Bill, Medicaid cuts to folks in rural areas is a “myth”. Huh? & HR 1 ELIMINATED fraud. Huh? Most fraud is by providers. Maybe read Medicaid for dummies, Rob

The Kyiv Metro — a regular shelter for local residents — has become a place of joy, thanks to resilient people singing carols and celebrating Saint Nicholas❤️

Even in the darkest hour, Ukrainians find the light within and share it with each other, lifting their spirits.

Trump wants to normalize killing Brown people far away, so his shock troops will not question it when he orders killing innocent Americans in LA, Detroit or DC.

Killing people in boats must stop.

The Supreme Court has long claimed the sole authority to interpret the Constitution (which, ironically, is not in the constitution).

The Roberts Court has so delegitimized the institution that we can’t give future courts the power to decide what the our government can do.
