Good morning troops! Yesterday’s news was unrelenting. Today should be no different. There might be a debate tonight! For sure at 11am there will be a hearing in the case to drop charges against Michael Flynn. Quick refresher👇🏻
Former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn lied to the FBI. He plead guilty to this offense twice.
Atty General Bill Barr committed an impeachable act (Obstruction of Justice) by ordering the DOJ to drop the charges against Flynn.
Judge Sullivan is perplexed.
Judge Sullivan phoned a friend and asked whether or not he has a say in whether the charges are dismissed. His friend said yes. Some on the court said no, then the whole district court ruled, yes. After a long process, we’re waiting for the 11am hearing.

But last night...
The attorney for FBI agent Peter Strzok (the agent Flynn lied to) released documents that are alleged to be manipulated by the department of justice to aid Michael Flynn. 👀. Judges tend to not like that sort of thing. The penalty for tampering with evidence is 20 years.
Why would the DOJ lawyers or others, risk their careers and a 20 year prison sentence to tamper with evidence to protect Michael Flynn? And why do it on the eve of the hearing where Judge Sullivan could theoretically grant your wish and dismiss the case?
Another very important point to remember is this: Flynn has yet to be charged with the underlying crimes that prompted him to lie in the first place.
The Tax stories are the why, #volume5 of the Senate’s counterintelligence report on Russian interference is a must read if we are looking for the answers as to the what. All the trains are coming in folks.

It’s been a while since we’ve used the wayback machine. Let’s see how it holds up on a short trip. We’re going to go on a journey back to a time before trump was president.

Don’t get too excited. It’s to do with aid to Ukraine.

A wee thread🧵👇🏻
On July 28, 2016, in Cleveland at the Republican National Committee, the GOP removed a single issue from their party platform. Essentially, it became trump policy to no longer provide aid to Ukraine.

A delegate said it was taken out by trump’s people.

npr.org/2017/12/04/568…
But that’s a bit awkward because the newly minted GOP Nominee eventually ended up telling Robert Mueller he didn’t recall. Strange because trump, has like a great memory. And his uncle was like, a physicist or something.🤷🏼‍♂️

There will no doubt be a lot said by smarter people than I about this ruling in the GA v trump et al. case, but I would like to offer two important thoughts I hope they don’t miss.

Full ruling linked below.

Celebrity appearances not endorsements.

Firstly, please understand the danger. Look at what just happened. The whole country has been on edge awaiting this ruling because it determined whether or not a former president accused of some gangster shit, might get away with it because of some more gangster shit.
This dude is so dangerous to prosecute, a former GOVERNOR declined to be the special prosecutor because of safety concerns. This dude is so dangerous because he has a dangerous crew. I don’t how to lay this out clearly for people to understand so please bear with me as I try.

Roughly 25 things to know about Project 2025

Have you heard of Project 2025? It’s a ‘Playbook’. You can read the whole “Mandate” for yourself at this link and I encourage you to do so. *Please* know who you’re voting for in November.

A wee thread🧵👇🏻

First thing to know: There is a Project 2025. This is important to know. It exists. It’s a plan. It’s coming day one of the next conservative presidency. I am not being hyperbolic. If you are seeing this, it will have some impact on your life. It’s designed to.
This is a Heritage Foundation joint. There are roughly 386 ‘contributors’ to Project 2025 and at least 48 of them are Heritage Foundation. That’s 12% of all contributors give or take some bad eyesight, counting, and maths and unknown crossover organizational alignments.

I was thinking about my dad the other day. He’s still here, he’s fine. I was just thinking about him.

WARNING STRONG LANGUAGE

My dad would tell me stories about guys like his dad. Guys like his dad fought in WWII. Guys like my dad, revered those guys.

A wee thread🧵👇🏻
The only reason the tv set growing up didn’t have the History Channel logo burned into it was because occasionally, I’d watch sports. The history channel had documentary after documentary of WWII. My dad likes the air battles. He would talk about “Those Guys”.
“Those Guys,” he’d say, “Those Guys sat in a bubble OUTSIDE the airplane, Joey!’ “Can you believe that? Imagine how cold it must have been!”
He was referring to the tail gunners on the screen.

You guys…I think I’m going to call it a year. I will begin my final thread of 2024 as I mean to end it, and that is conversationally and with gratitude. Thank you for all your continued dedication to self-determination and democracy.

I’m tired.

A wee 🧵👇🏻
This year was more difficult than last year. Things are getting harder. My balance is getting worse and my body is getting stiffer. I’ve had more falls this year than last. Speaking of falls, it seems more leaves fell in the yard this year than last.
The time change this year and its underreported havoc it wreaks on my medication is worse this year than last. I’ve torn my Achilles and my hamstring this year as opposed to no injuries last.

This is a wee thread. I tell you that now because there is no clever preamble, no fun intro to pique your interest. Just a simple request that you know I lack understand on this topic and make no judgments. I share it so those who can make sense of it hopefully do so.

🧵👇🏻
On December 23rd of 2016, the United Nations adopted UN resolution number 2334. It is here for you to read. Please do so. If you don’t, know the gist is that this UN Security Council resolution stated that Israel’s settlements have no legal validity.

The history of this resolution is one that helps put into context some of what we may be seeing today. At the time, Barack Obama was President and Bibi Netanyahu was Prime Minister of Israel. vox.com/world/2016/12/…
