Tom Cotton Nothing to see here, just a sitting U.S. senator calling for Americans he disagrees with to be run over and killed. Totally normal stuff.

We knew it was coming, but kind of wild Justice Thomas participated in an oral argument about criminal charges for January 6th rioters this morning when his wife was one of the protestors that day—and had worked assiduously to get the 2020 election overturned.

For decades, we were told 'Never Again' to genocide and mass atrocities.

The Holocaust. Rwanda. Bosnia. Darfur.

We were taught to spot the warning signs--dehumanizing rhetoric, violence, forced depopulation, and the destruction of culture.

We were told to speak out and act.

Seems like a Senator openly inciting vigilante violence might be something that would call for censure, if we actually had a functioning Senate.

The number of people in my mentions right now insisting they have the right to kill people for slowing down traffic is truly... something

What folks are missing in the 'does Bragg actually hurt Trump' discourse is the following:
1. Elections are won/lost by millimeters. 'Only' 29% (lowest poll) of uncommitted voters saying this flips them is a tsumani. /1

Calling it a hush money trial is so 2023

Now that we actually know the case, it’s clear that it’s much more

It’s an election interference one & the judge said so yesterday

I explain for @Cnnopinion

“Republicans are either an existential threat to all that we value, or they have some good ideas and we’re going to try to work with them. If you try to say both of those things, one of those things is transparently BS.” Anat Shenker-Osorio 🟧 🎯

A bulletproof decision by the DC Circuit Court makes it clear: the law must apply equally to all. But the billionaire-bought MAGA Supreme Court Justices are blocking accountability for Trump’s crimes.

Voters deserve to know the truth BEFORE the election. ⏱️

Hey Frigidaire®, my refrigerator spontaneously caught on fire (!!!) yesterday. VERY lucky this happened in the afternoon and not in the middle of the night.

Other customers are reporting this same problem as well. What are you doing to make this right?? m.youtube.com/watch?v=J4Eb7m…

Now that the attack is over: a reminder of how explicitly and deliberately it was provoked. Say what you will about any longer conflict, this exchange explicitly dates back to April 1.

Someone explain it to me like a PHD in International Security how Israel striking Iran didn't start WW3 but Iran retaliating does?

Watch the people who spent 6 months saying “Israel has the right to defend itself” to justify its actions in Gaza now say Iran’s response to Israel bombing its embassy complex is “disproportionate.”

But genocide is a proportionate response, within the norms of international law.

Since the dawn of the nuclear era in 1945, no nation has ever produced nuclear weapons without detection by foreign intelligence — including the United States.

Friendly reminder that Israel is the *only* nuclear-armed nation in the Middle East.

Maybe genocidal weapons of mass destruction aren’t the national security wonder drug they’re cracked up to be.
