4 years ago, a white supremacist Trump fan attacked me because he didnt like my reporting, using a strobe to intentionally induce a convulsion. My physical damage continues to this day.
Today, I won my lawsuit against him. He owes more $ than he has.
The criminal trial is next.
Sorry, this is not a side effect of the vaccine. It is called hydrocele. In adults, the two primary causes are injury or STD (chlamydia or gonorrhea). Probably your cousin's friend was taking one last marriage fling, picked up an STD, & is blaming vaccines. He needs an MD, stat.
Twitter shut its operations in Ireland today, putting thousands of people out of work with no notice. Oops. Elon broke the Unfair Dismissals Acts 1977–2015. And the thing about Ireland…they ain’t the United States. They don’t slobber all over people for just being rich. Ugly.
My brother-in-law cant survive. He will be removed from his ventilator tomorrow.
You DONT need to go bowling or to a nail salon or wherever. You want to die? Use a gun. But don't let your selfishness rain misery on families with loved ones who couldnt avoid the virus you spread.
On a serious note, I really want to thank the Tik Tok teens and Kpop stans for what they did in signing up for 1 million tickets. Not only was this the greatest troll of all time, but you almost certainly saved lives today if the fake ticket numbers scared away bigger crowds.
9 million children lost their health insurance today. Nine million.
Trump went golfing.
Turks blew up a nine year old girl, blowing off her legs. Trump gave the green light for this.
67% of evangelicals support him.
Seriously, you sons of bitches? Hating gays is worth the murder of children?
We are all learning where we would have lined up in Nazi Germany.
An ISIS flag has - literally - been raised again in the Syrian countryside. The ISIS flag. Flying again.
Can you Trump supporters get it *yet*? Can you admit your god king doesn’t know what he is doing? If not, when deaths start here again, we will point at you as responsible.
. raised its minimum wage for all employees to $24/hr & all who work as little as 24hrs/wk gets health insurance. Target will prove: 1. The labor problem isn't people are lazy, it's that they aren't paid enough. 2. More ppl will shop at a store that treats employees right.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Target raised its minimum wage from from between $15-$24 per hour depending on role. It did not raise the minimum wage for all employees to $24 per hour.

El Paso TX is on national grid & still has power. Cities on Texas grid are struggling without power/heat. Because it is on the national grid, El Paso gets energy from plants with winterizing regs. Texas grid “deregulated” so no winterizing. People are dying for GOP philosophies.
I see lots of Dems complaining about Kasich possibly speaking at the Dem Convention to endorse Biden. THIS is why Dems lose so often - too many voters who care more about purity than victory. Kasich has a huge # of supporters. If 2% of them vote Biden because of this, Biden wins.
I admire the hell out of Obama. Think he was a great president, a brilliant man, & amazing person. But I’d never fly a flag with his name, or hang his picture in my house, or follow him from rally to rally. That’s the difference between supporting a politician & being in a cult.
With my six-figure victory in my lawsuit against a MAGA who assaulted me because of my reporting, I no longer have to be quiet about everything we learned. I'll tell whole story soon. For now:
We unraveled the private, white supremacist network, & theyre just learning it now...
Holy god! What I thought could not possibly get worse….got worse! They ignored subpoenas and lied to the DOJ?! They moved boxes from the room? And it’s on tape?!
I have been hesitant until now. But lock this criminal up.
Well, continues to say it will remain partners in death with the . Most sane companies have ended it. Not Fedex. So remember: boycott. Use or or carrier pigeon. No more patronizing those who aid in the endless slaughter of innocent #FedExBloodMoney
Clinton on Benghazi: you can ask me anything you want. I’ll sit for 11 hours of questions before one congressional committee alone.
GOP: she’s hiding something!
Trump: I will not speak to mueller at all unless I am shown all evidence first.
GOP: he’s hiding nothing!
After attending church, went to the cemetery where his son is buried. His Iraq War veteran, Bronze Star winning son.
Trump's team ridiculed him for it, while their boss was golfing. That tells you: Trump, a sociopathic narcissists, surrounds himself with the same.
This country is being held hostage by people who flunked 11th grade science.
NYTimes confirming what I’ve been telling you for 2 days (them based on 2 sources, mine 1)Trump HASNT been tested daily. That’s why they won’t reveal last negative. He found them uncomfortable, so stopped tests weeks ago. He thought it was safe with everyone else tested instead.
Unreal. instantly tweets about whatever he hears on Fox&Friends, or to proclaim he is a stable genius and the greatest, but when an ACTUAL presidential situation arises, when he could use twitter to IMMEDIATELY tell Hawaii there was no incoming nuke, he just kept golfing.
This Marine with “I can’t breathe” taped over his mouth stood for hours in silent protest calling for justice for victims of police killings. He stood unmoving for so long in the hot sun at the Utah State Capitol that his shoes melted into the pavement.
Something to point out:
knew EVERYTHING about Russian interference. As head of the intel committee, he received constant classified briefings on it.
And he did everything he could to convince the public it wasn't true.
Nunes is a traitor. He belongs in jail.
This morning, my MD wife worked at a major vaccine center in Dallas. Whole place was staffed, ready to vaccinate. No one - *no one* - showed up for a vaccine. Only 44% of Dallas county is vaccinated. This is bad.
Rush called a "Ho" - saying "Joe & Ho" - & accused her of sleeping her way to the top.
This is you, . This is what you celebrate. This is who you honor. And hopefully, this is the grotesque behavior that will burn your party to the ground.
I said this decades ago when I first met him while covering his business for the New York Times: Donald Trump is the dumbest high-profile man I ever met in my life.
Hillary Clinton attended a memorial to 9/11 victims when she had pneumonia. And Fox laughed about it.
Meanwhile, Trump cancels attending an event to honor our soldiers who died overseas because it's raining. Laughter, ? After all, snowflakes melt when they get wet.
Hopefully the Laura Ingraham blow-up will teach conservatives: You are not "debating" gun control when you insult survivors of a mass slaughter for advocating laws you dont agree with. You are just being infantile bullies.
Wanna debate POLICY? Great. Wanna insult kids? Shut up.
I will never understand why so many people have come to believe that this one man - Trump - is worth throwing out the law, spitting on the Constitution, undermining democracy and risking prison.
My brother in law Ross has COVID-19 and is on a vent in a hospital ICU.
My sister wants my family and I to pray for him. If you believe, please do too. If you don’t, just keep Ross and my sister in your thoughts.
Anyone who does not abandon a political party led by a man unable to condemn white supremacists and nazis is without morality or principle.
I'm sorry, I can't get past this. is taking credit for no domestic airline crashes. How can ppl not see this is insane? Particularly since there have been no domestic airline crashes since 09. And none of a domestic airline you've ever heard of since 2001.
AT&T gave bonuses saying "Because of the tax bill!!" Trump said, "See? More money, more jobs. Tax bill!!!"
ATT now says that on 3/14/18, 1000s of people who got those one-time bonuses are being fired. AT&T will save more in a week than it paid in bonuses. Gonna take credit, GOP?
I kept an open mind. I really did. But reading Judge Cannon’s ruling left my jaw on the floor in its absurdity. Unless the federalist society wants to argue that this precedent would only apply to trump, this ruling would demolish future white collar criminal investigations…
Why are Trump supporters so endlessly angry? Why are they so filled with hate for their fellow Americans? And why do they think that behavior and mindset makes them good Christians?
No country in the history of humanity has EVER cut taxes in a relatively strong economy with full employment and massive government debt. EVER. There is NO economic theory that supports doing it. It is madness. THIS is when u raise taxes and cut spending to attack debt problem.
After spinning bogus Obama birther tales, taunting a war hero and joking about him dying, insulting a Gold Star family, p*ssy grabbing, mocking the disabled, using insulting names for political leaders, & accusing Democrats of being pro-crime...
...the GOP is demanding civility.
I cant take it. I can't take it anymore. Children, women, families are beginning to be killed because so many Americans are too stupid or immoral to give a good goddamn that a madman is abandoning allies who helped us fight ISIS. All of you deserve to burn in hell.
More Americans have died of Covid in the last two years than died of AIDS from 1981-2000. And we have a vaccine to stop it. History will look back on this time in utter disbelief that a nation could be this ignorant, and could casually grow accustomed to such vast carnage.
I dont understand. The NRA has banned guns at their convention because Pence will be there. But guns don't kill people, people kill people. I know that because the NRA says so. They should be banning the people, and leaving cheering guns in the the seats of the auditorium.
The consequences of and the Merry Morons in storming a SCIF:
None will ever pass a FBI background check for a higher position.
None will ever be allowed access to classified information.
You cant blithely break laws on SCIFs and think there are no consequences.
When the MAGA voters find their retirement age up at 70 and Medicare crippled because of this tax bill of sociopathic greed, will they FINALLY understand they’ve been conned? Or will they just wait for Fox to figure out some way to blame democrats?
My brother in law died in April when they disconnected the ventilator. My sister couldn’t be there. If Trump has told the truth, people wouldve been wearing masks. The virus could have been contained. My sister wouldn’t be a young widow. I can’t ever forgive Trump & his enablers.
About Dinesh D'Souza:
1. He's a stupid person's idea of a smart person.
2. He's a stupid person.
3. He's a convicted criminal.
4. He's an amoral sociopath.
5. He craves attention...
...so I didn't link him to this. Treat him like what he is: Wipe him off the bottom of your shoe.
Again: If Trump had put his inheritance in a stock mutual fund and done nothing, he'd be worth $17B more than he is. Worst businessman ever.
John McCain: tortured as a POW, but when offered the chance to leave, refuses to abandon his friends, knowing he might lose his life
: stands by in silence as a bully tears apart John McCain, abandoning his friend, for fear he might lose his job.
I'll never comprehend what happened to the GOP. The obsession with conspiracy theories, the lies, propaganda, denial of object truth -this is the most horrifying threat in my lifetime to our freedom derived from reason.
Theyre putting a bullet in the brain of democracy. But why?
That media talks about baby formula shortage w/o knowing whats going on is amazing. Trump's USMCA restricted imports of formula from Canada, so we imported no formula from Canada in 2021, leaving us vulnerable to domestic shock. The shock hit when Abbott plant was contaminated.
The president of the United States. Is trying to stop a book prepublication. The president. Is trying to impose prior restraint. In violation of the constitution.
The president of the United States thinks he can engage in prior restraint. That is worse than anything in the book
If this tax bill is not stopped, it will be the end of the American era. Public education crushed, brain drain of advanced degrees, trillions in debt, crippling Medicare. For what? Cause rich ppl really really promise THIS time to use $ for jobs, when never did before?
Ive checked all of 's #fakenews declarations from Nov to March. All of them have since proved true in sworn testimony. Oops.
Unbelievable. Although nothing is unbelievable anymore.
Republicans refuse to approve funding for cyber security upgrades to protect voting systems from attack.
They have money for baby cages & an ego-based military parade. But protecting democracy? Too expensive for them.
On a real news network, Hannity would be fired for giving endless commentary defending Michael Cohen while secretly being a client of his.
Lucky for Sean he doesn’t work for a real news network.
Al Franken credibly accused of sexual harassment. Dems: Resign from the Senate!
Roy Moore credibly accused of child molestation. GOP: Welcome the the Senate!
We all now know which one is actually the party of values, and which is the party of power above all.
Why Russian online disinformation works: because Americans are idiots, having lost all critical thinking skills, the result of relentless attacks on education and hatred of experts.
The president of the United States has today been tweeting endlessly about what he is watching on tv.
The president. Is watching TV. And tweeting responses.
Seriously. This is a President. Not some drunk buffoon uncle. Does he have nothing to do but watch himself and whine?
Trump told america TV cameras were being shut off so country wouldn't hear what he had to say. I know this because I saw it on TV.
Insane.
As someone who has known trump since 1987, I will say perhaps the most pathetic thing about trump supporters is they have no idea - if they weren’t cheering for him - that he would hold them in total contempt and spit on them. He hates non-rich people.
White House blaming John Dowd for 's "I confess" tweet. I call BS. I know Dowd. Smart as a whip lawyer. He wouldn't give a damn what twitter world thinks of Flynn charges. Thats pure Trump. WH blaming Dowd is transparent attempt 2 hide lie with attorney/client privilege.
No conserv who cheers ripping away the insurance for babies born with critical diseases (for tax cuts) can EVER claim to be pro-life again.
This is the most horrifying, incredible indictment I have ever read, and I've read hundreds. If any of this is true - and based on the way it is written, they have tapes, photos, and direct witnesses - this man belongs in prison.

Trump Christians are religious frauds. They stand for:
Give to rich
To hell with poor
Let the ill die.
Spit on disabled kids
Break up families
Hate thy neighbor.
Treat others as you wouldn’t want to be treated
Conservative evangelism is the clarion call of satan, not Jesus.
Do not ever forget, put supposedly crazy, lying Sloppy Steve on the National Security Council. The most important part of the White House, first time a political guy on it. It caused horror & Trump said Bannon needed to be there.
Don't let Trump run away from what he did.
Eric Trump demands a national recount because "reasons." I'm fine with that. Recount it ten times. However, the Trump campaign will have to pay for it. That is how recounts work - states don't use their tax dollars to indulge a temper tantrums.
Rush Limbaugh, college dropout, belittles the analysis of Stephen Hawking, worlds smartest man. Millions believe Rush. Idiocracy has arrived
This is unreal. Two of my agent/friends who work in different field offices told me they are going to resign if the lie-filled memo is released. "Our jobs are dangerous enough w/o a bunch of politicians putting targets on our backs for the crazies," one said.
America died tonight. Economic suicide adopted to feed the insatiable greed of donors, who have been refusing to dole out $ to GOP until they got their tax cuts. Voters fooled by propaganda and tribal hatred.
Millenials: move away if you can. USA is over. We killed it.
The most wonderful dog I’ve ever owned died today at 18 years old. Not only was she loving and delightful, but with no training she was also a seizure dog, and could warn me and others when I was about to have a seizure. She protected me and we all loved her. I miss her already.
The accusation: In October 2016, Trump paid $130,000 to a porn star to keep quiet about their affair.
Fact: In December 2016, Trump campaign transferred $130,000 to Trump-owned entity.
If transfer has no campaign purpose, we've hit $ laundering and campaign finance violations.
What I have learned in 2020 : During a pandemic, entire societies are held captive by the immovable certainties of its dumbest citizens.
This report is true. German government is confirming it. This son of a bitch is more of a monster than I believed. And I considered trump the worst monster ever produced in america.
Quote Tweet
Trump tried to poach German scientists working on a cure for coronavirus and offered cash so the vaccine would be exclusive to the USA businessinsider.com/trump-administ
I live in Texas. And everyone I know - republican and democrat - is going..."Crisis? What the hell is this man talking about? What crisis?"
Guess it is a crisis only visible from the East Coast.
Wow. I took the same guy earning $20 million a year (top 1%). Did nothing but change his residence from a blue state to a red state.
Blue state: His taxes go UP by $239,465
Red state: His taxes go DOWN by $462,709.
Could the immoral intent here be more obvious, ?
my brother in law died From Covid. My daughter in law works in a Covid unit.
You’re a fucking idiot. There’s a reason you’ve accomplished nothing in your life than be a third tier game show host. The reason? Go back to the first sentence of this paragraph, the answer is there.
The election is fake. The death toll is fake. The news is fake. The intelligence agencies lie. The FBI lies. The information on social media is real. Everything Trump says is real.
The cult is incredible. How do you deprogram 70 million people who don't know they're brainwashed?
When Obama bombed Syria for its use of chemical weapons, GOP and Fox screamed it was an impeachable offense.
Now that Trump does it, they say nothing.
It’s NOT an impeachable offense. But it’s obscene how readily Fox and the GOP lie to their base, changing position on a whim.
Don't forget: AFTER he lost election, Trump unilaterally withdrew from the Open Skies Treaty, giving Putin cover to withdraw too. Ukraine begged us not to, because it would rob the west of the best surveillance should Putin invade. Now we dont have it. Another gift from Trump.
I agree calling a political figure a “c*nt” is wrong & coarsening of discourse. So why did Trump invite the celebrity who said it to the White House?
I’m talking about Ted Nugent, who used that word for Hillary. Samantha Bee was wrong too. But GOP has no leg to stand on on this.
We flew to the moon
We created electronics
We scaled Mount Everest
We developed vaccines
We developed effective treatments for AIDS patients
We mapped the human genome
We built a space station
But somehow, the GOP says, finding a way to limit mass shootings is beyond our reach.
All of the children murdered at Sandy Hook would have now been teenagers.
And we have done nothing.
One measure of the morality of a nation is how it acts to protect its children.
And we have done nothing.
White House tells Bannon to refuse to cooperate with Congressional investigation of Russian interference, forcing committee to issue a subpoena.
Yes, this is exactly the behavior of people with nothing to hide.
Now it will all happen again. GOPrs tweet “thoughts & prayers.” Dems will call for gun control. Fox will attack that as politicizing tragedy. Everyone will blab on TV. Then we’ll do nothing, move on, & hope the next mass shooting victim isnt one of OUR loved ones.
We’re pathetic
Never in history has a US president worked so hard to fight against the intel findings of every US ally to prove the innocence of an enemy.
Clinton brought deficit to $0. GW Bush ran it up, pushing debt up trillions through tax cuts & spending. Required raising debt limit in early Obama but GOP pushed toward economic collapse, lying that the debt was Obama's. Then Obama cut deficit by 50%. Trump pushed deficit up../1
Reporters die covering terrorists. They get kidnapped, they get beheaded. They are in war. And Trump has the GALL 2 say media hides attacks?
Gee what a surprise. A January piece in the Wall Street Journal - five months ago - reported that Trump had been told by a key advisor to drop joint military exercises with South Korea.
The advisor? Vladimir Putin. Trump knifed an ally to aid an enemy on the advice of Russia.
Lines are so long in Texas for grocery stores that Republicans are now learning what it is like to vote in a minority community.
When we have a White House that lies about what is in photos we can all see, how can they be trusted 2 tell truth on things we can't see?
Sometimes, I wanna scream at Trump supporters, "How can you not understand what's going on?! How can you not see the decades of damage we're facing cause of Trump?!"
But I know they'll just laugh, say "liberal tears," drop a few insults, then go back to being brainwashed by Fox.
You can get a Covid test with results five times faster in Rwanda than in the United States.
We are a failed nation.
If has disclosed the correct name of the whistleblower, that person must file a lawsuit against him for his use of familial connections to undermine federal law with the intent of punishing those who abide by that law.
I’m disgusted. calls Roseanne to congratulate her on her TV show ratings, but ignored the death in line of duty of Special Agent Melissa Morrow.
Ignoring the death of a brave FBI agent who investigated the 9/11 attacks. Raving about a sitcom. This man is not a president.
Well that was fast.
Guy raging at Costco at elderly woman gets fired.
Do people know impeachment does nothing? It is merely a charge. Clinton was impeached. So what? Do you think Trump will cooperate with an impeachment inquiry?
Instead, this week start arresting people. Mnuchin, Ritter, Maguire & Lewandowski are poster boys for inherent contempt.
The more I reread Judge Cannons ruling, and the more I review cases she cited, the clearer it becomes that she cant be considered a legitimate part of the judiciary. She doesnt consider herself bound by law, precedent, fact, logic. She doesn’t even truthfully state prior rulings!
I’ll probably get banned for this, because free speech ends right at doorstep. He is now waging war on public figures who are trying to show him how easy it is to imitate a current public figures. So he permanently bans Kathy Griffin, then insults her. Yet, score of…1
For those not old enough or sane enough to know: it is not normal for a president to watch TV all the time looking for news reports about himself. It is EXTREMELY not normal for him to rant about coverage. These are the habits of someone with a narcissistic personality disorder.
Democrats call for the resignation of a senator accused of sexual harassment, and he does so.
Republicans cheer a p***y grabber accused of much more grotesque sexual harassment and call for the election of a credibly accused child molester.
We all know what both parties are now
