"World's richest man seizes control of U.S. Treasury and directs payments be made in accordance with his personal preferences" is so far beyond a constitutional crisis that I don't even know what term to use.

- When you realize halfway through a Trump rally that the people in the bleachers need to be peppier and blonder.
00:00 - Replying to @hudeatsbugs and @igorbobicThe officer initially scopes out the door, sees it's not guarded, and tries to block the way. More rioters pour up the stairs after them, and the officer seems to go with a new strategy – he shoves the first rioter, pissing him off, and then leads the whole mob the other way.
- LMAO, it looks like DOGE canceled the Security and Exchange Commission's Westlaw access, because Elon's team saw "Thomson Reuters" and thought it had to do with the news agency.
- Y'all I'm dying, Manafort created an incriminating paper trail because he needed someone to help him convert a Word doc to PDF.
- I would like to step back and point out how WILD it it that the president is tweeting, "I directed my attorney to pay hush money just weeks before the election to the porn star I cheated on my wife with," and Republicans are responding, "See, the president is vindicated!"
- How is it possible that the President can announce we're using U.S. troops as mercenaries, and yet absolutely no further information is available on the details of this arrangement?Trump claims Saudi Arabia has already deposited one billion dollars “in the bank” in exchange for US troops being sent. He then goes on to talk about South Korea paying $500 million for US troops defending them against North Korea.
00:00 - Alito's draft declares that, inter alia, the right to marry a person of a different race, the right to contraception, and the right not to be forcibly sterilized, all lack "any claim to being deeply rooted in history" – which is the same reason he overrules the right to abortion.
- Something I'd love to see a reporter ask Trump Org about: 1) Cohen formed EC LLC on Oct 17 2016 2) The contract provided for EC LLC to pay Stormy $130K by Oct 27 2016 3) Between Oct 17 & Oct 25, the Trump campaign made payments to Trump Org properties that add up to $129,999.72.
- JUST IN: State Department confirms that President Trump, acting in his personal capacity and on behalf of his own private interests, is negotiating directly with a foreign government to seek their assistance in harming his political rivals.Replying to @kenvogel and @StenyHoyerJUST IN: The @StateDept, which facilitated @RudyGiuliani's communications with the Ukrainian gov't (during which he urged an investigation of @JoeBiden), says Giuliani "acts in a personal capacity as a lawyer for President TRUMP. He does not speak on behalf of the US Government."
- Replying to @hunterwWhen I lived next door to them, my petty move was to name our wifi network "Mueller's Surveillance Van."
- Trump is slurring in a way I've never heard from him before. Elon sounds like this is maybe the third or fourth time he's had a conversation with a fellow human.
- Replying to @AdamTaylorBatesMy bet is he spent the day watching the news on TV yesterday, and he learned a new fact he was excited to share. It was just about the wrong city.
