In honor of the Durham Report I remind all that Russia intervened in the 2016 election on Trump's behalf. Trump was informed of this, welcomed it, asked for more it and took numerous affirmative steps to profit from it. https://t.co/AwrTNiyHUz via @TPM

Well, holy shit
Not that I ever doubted Trump was selling pardons, but this is fucking bonkers! Jack Smith is probably diving right into this mess:
BREAKING: sexual abuse suit against Rudy Giuliani includes bombshell allegation
Giuliani told alleged victim he was "SELLING PARDONS" for $2,000,000 each "which he and Trump would split" AND SHE HAS RECORDINGS AND EMAILS https://t.co/WxyEPaJamK pic.twitter.com/Yqhc44s6du

Don’t eat the road kill
For more than 30 years, the EPA has banned a radioactive, cancer-causing material called phosphogypsum for use in road construction almost continuously. Now Florida Republicans have passed a bill to bring it back.https://t.co/8VK2O90hsM

Hakeem: Fuck you , Kevin
"During an interview on Meet The Press, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries rejected the idea of giving Kevin McCarthy a debt limit escape hatch."https://t.co/3aumWXvQrY via @politicususa

Swell
Now watch how many residents and doctors think twice about moving to North Carolina:
This flip may very well lead to an abortion ban in North Carolina.
With Florida on the brink of passing a six-week ban, that would choke off all access to legal abortion in the South. https://t.co/CsKD8OHS27

Why
Are Southern Republicans such parodies of themselves?
After giving millions of your dollars to Tate’s buddies, the good ol’ boys club down in Jackson are putting on their best cover up. What are they hiding?https://t.co/mwkcbNL1y2

Stop the birth control!
This notorious Trump appointee, Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk of Texas, who spent much of his career trying to interfere with other people’s sexuality, just fired a predictable first shot against birth control https://t.co/vCE7YMxgdm

Justice Honey Badger don’t give a shit
Bad gets worse: Thomas first failed to recuse because he didn’t know of his wife’s activities, an untested factual assertion the Chief Justice has failed to examine. Now Thomas knows because it’s public info and still fails to recuse. This has a reek. https://t.co/q7d5XKlXZg

Fascists
Telltale: “taking Roe off the table clears the way for other agenda items.” Really? “Agenda”? “Agenda items”? Since when are courts supposed to have — or care about — “agenda items”? Once again, the quiet part is said out loud. https://t.co/1i2vTeqTWU

Our media sucks
“The Speaker of the US House of Representatives was targeted for assassination by a MAGA extremist. Period. The evidence of the corruption of America’s political media is the existence of a two-sided debate around the one-sided cause of violence & murder.” https://t.co/ZKi6xM2pEu
