THREADETTE: Something just dawned on me. You don't see any left-leaning anonymous (or named!) Twitter folks doing investigation of primary source documents, while several on the right do that & expose much otherwise missed. Left can rely on Fake News narratives pushed by MSM. 1/
2/ Knowing the legacy media won't research, you see lawyers putting out the source documents, such as @JohnWHuber@Techno_Fog and @15poundstogo and former intel folks such as @JennaNeen@MikayesFiona doing same. They spend hundreds of hours doing the work of Pulitzers.
3/ And @nick_weil team who puts together all of that work. These folks may well have saved @realDonaldTrump from the lies being peddled because they are in essence the best research team alternative media could ask for. I try to give credit where do, so here's a global 👏👏👏
4/4 And FTR: While I do know the actual identities and credentials of some of the above, my motto from day one on Twitter has been "distrust and verify." So I've always pulled the original source material, researched myself, and rendered my own conclusions. END

😡😡😡So after @howappealing highlighted this from Times yesterday, I had a friend share because I figured he wouldn't promote garage and I wanted to see if analysis was any better. But OMgosh! #$@%! 1/ nytimes.com/2024/05/20/opi…

3/3 And let me end with this. Alito is not "blaming his wife." He is doing EXACTLY what the Code of Conduct requires: "Disassociating" himself from the flag.
🚨Working on a piece for Monday @FDRLST on the fake flag scandal re Alito. Here's your shorter version: There is no scandal! I served as career law clerk for federal appellate judge for ~25 years, 6 of which I assisted with Codes of Conduct inquiries. While those rules don't 1/
2/apply to Supreme Court justices, the justices apply the same principles. The difference being there is much more detail for lower courts, including that judges are barred from displaying political signs. BUT the rules also make clear that doesn't apply to spouses.
3/ In fact, the Codes of Conduct committee made that point clear through advise. Yes, Judge should discourage, but NO Judge is not "boss" of his spouse and no ethical violation is spouse decides to post a political sign.
🔥🔥🔥THREAD: Today a federal court in Texas granted @realDailyWire @FDRLST & @KenPaxtonTX expedited discovery in their lawsuit against the State Department & GEC, with youthful powerhouse public interest law firm @NCLAlegal representing Media Plaintiffs. 1/
