From the Fox anchor who in 2016 misreported that the FBI investigation into the HRC emails was likely an indictment. Trump is losing Fox, which simply cannot continue to evade reporting the truth and continue to consider itself a source of news. https://t.co/QqdF1WO5zr
Watching the interim coverage on MSNBC while the hearing’s out on recess … everybody is beyond belief angry. Even ol’ Chris Matthews just said “god damn” on live TV. That disgrace in the WH must be dragged out of there, forced by RWNJs to resign, today.
I’m so p*ssed off, I may drink wine at 10:19 a.m. And I’m only half kidding.
Exactly. I'd like to see all "men and women" at the State Department exit the building today, on a walk-out/walk-over to the White House to protest. We're not supposed to be separated by gender in 2019, trump, and you need to learn that before exiting the job Russia got you.
DO NOT FORGET: At 1 a.m., Marie Yovanovitch was told to get on the next plane within days of her celebrating the courage of a woman who had died after a vicious acid attack. Can you imagine the level of fear she must have felt???
Owl lovers…I will be looking for snowy owls this weekend, wish me luck…When I took this photo a few years ago, I waited almost 4 hrs for it to fly in 30 degree temps. When it did, it flew right towards me, those beautiful yellow eyes staring right at me.❤️❤️❤️ pic.twitter.com/mVamAFSIY7
Guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty — seven counts of lying to Congress and witness intimidation, the very thing Trump did in real time during today’s impeachment testimony of Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch. Karma x 7. https://t.co/RHevIHH92T

Down goes, Roger Stone!

Thank you, Lovely Nerdy Wonka⭐⭐⭐👏👊✊🤜🤛😍🤗💪🙌🙌💙❤💜
Fridays are usually reserved for date night, and to celebrate a long work week, among other things. It is not a day that should be associated with anything bad or negative. Unless your name is Roger fucking Stone, this motherfucker. He’s up the proverbial creek, without canoe nor paddle. He’s looking down the barrel of a fifty-year sentence if the court is so inclined to hand out such a sentence. I suspect sometime this weekend Stone will google “How to become a state’s witness in order to spare my ass a long jail sentence.”
Hypocrisy-Senator Berger will you finally admit that you unfairly drew districts that guaranteed Republicans a 10-3 advantage? YOU are the one that wanted-and got-a predetermined outcome for the last decade. NC voters are trying to correct that. Seems you are afraid of fairness. https://t.co/i6jYAdTiFG
Your comments reflect the despicable nature of your character, hate & fear of our foreign service officers & desperation to protect your corrupt & criminal acts. Your efforts to intimidate will fail. May your downfall be swift, your penalty onerous, & your legacy condemned by all https://t.co/ks9MJpfi6r

– Marie Yovanovitch gives damning testimony at #ImpeachmentHearings – Trump launches psychotic attack on her during her testimony – He knows he's screwed – Roger Stone convicted – Trump goes ballistic – Trump is going to prison – It's still only 1pm
Whaaaa! I'm the most powerful man on earth and nobody will let me publicly intimidate witnesses who work for the government. My rights are being infringed! https://t.co/0wp4UjCq8H
This week has been completely devastating to any plausible defense of the president. And there is good reason to think next week will be even worse for him.
Finally, a wrenching quote from former prosecutor @BarbMcQuade about whether Trump will pardon Stone.
“To be pardoned for that kind of behavior says the rule of law doesn’t matter, that loyalty to the president is all that does matter," McQuade tells us.https://t.co/dMILcJUg2dpic.twitter.com/fAJG4z9LRh

After the 6-1 Dem North Carolina Supreme Court surprisingly refused to expedite their appeal, the plaintiffs are dropping their appeal of the new Republican legislative maps, meaning North Carolina officially has new legislative districts #NCGA#NCpolhttps://t.co/WIdL8Hkwxz
These are North Carolina's new legislative districts. 3 measures of partisan bias find the maps still retain most of the bias of the illegal 2017 districts & were less fair than the nonpartisan plans we unsuccessfully asked the court to adopt https://t.co/w8DnW9JnuY#NCGA#NCpolpic.twitter.com/22zDSu2rLF
BREAKING: In major court victory ahead of 2020, Florida federal court throws out state's ballot order law that lists candidates of the governor's party first on every ballot for every office. Finds that it gave GOP candidates a 5% advantage. @AndrewGillum lost in 2018 by .4%
BREAKING NEWS: Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has granted #RodneyReed an indefinite stay of execution, meaning he no longer has an execution date! Stay tuned for more info.

Roger Stone was found guilty of all seven counts brought against him by Special Counsel Robert Mueller. Here's a little more about his past political scandals. pic.twitter.com/zkOiQt0U2f
If anyone’s counting, Roger Stone is the sixth Trump associate convicted as a result of the Mueller investigation. Oh, Trump is a criminal, too—just protected by feckless senators and a slimy AG.
It’s extremely troubling how scared Republicans are of the truth given the fact that our democracy is at stake. Now *that’s* something worth worrying about.
Rodney shouldn’t even be facing this. His case shines a spotlight on the immorality of the death penalty. It’s a stain on our nation. We need to abolish it.
NOTE: There was no dissent as to sending Reed's three claims to the trial court. The dispute was over the side-issue regarding the judge overseeing the case there. Here are the partial dissenting opinion — https://t.co/BYOO30zLgx — and concurrence on that: https://t.co/7AgNKt5jNT
It’s worth reflecting on the significance of Roger Stone’s conviction. He was found guilty of committing multiple federal crimes to cover up the Trump campaign’s efforts to manipulate American voters by weaponizing documents stolen by Russian intelligence agents.
“He made a mistake,” @SpeakerPelosi says on Trump's tweet about Yovanovitch during her testimony. “I think part of it is his own insecurity as an impostor…he knows full well he's in that office way over his head. And so he has to diminish everyone else.” https://t.co/F2Q7vnseuupic.twitter.com/0FjTmQhz5P
"Ambassador Sondland agreed that the President did not 'give a s-t about Ukraine' … that the President only cares about 'big stuff' … that benefits the President, like the 'Biden investigation' that Giuliani was pushing."
According to David Holmes’s opening statement obtained by @mkraju and @jeremyherb, Holmes could hear Sondland tell Trump on the phone that President Zelensky “loves your ass.”
Trump responded “So, he’s gonna do the investigation?”
This interview is so thoroughly interesting and compelling, check it out:
Adam Frankel on Family Secrets and Intergenerational Trauma
When Adam Frankel was 25 years old, he discovered something shocking: he wasn’t his father’s biological son, a secret his mother had kept from him his whole life. At the time, he was making waves as a talented speechwriter for President Obama. His debut book “The Survivors” captures his experience, and he sits down with Walter to discuss his powerful story.

Mark Esper and other senior military leaders told Trump a presidential pardon could potentially damage the integrity of the military judicial system, the ability of military leaders to ensure good order and discipline, and the confidence of allies and partners who host US troops https://t.co/F9ORMrAasc
I’m so tired of him. I’m tired of child concentration camps, sexual assault, and rape. I’m tired of nepotism, fascism, racism, and white supremacy. I’m tired of climate denial, murder cover-ups, treason, and genocide. I’m tired of people pretending he’s not an idiot.
If Trump was directly involving himself in meetings re propaganda material for the 2020 election, I’m thinking it’s highly likely he did the same in 2016 when the meeting wasn’t on another continent but two floors down.
All of this is spot on. The #DavidHolmes plot twist is devastating for Trump. And the poetic justice is that Trump’s defenders brought Holmes out of the woodwork with their “It’s all just hearsay” mantra. Otherwise he might never have come forward. https://t.co/vMSobOogle
