They showed his family *20 seconds* of redacted footage from a *single* body cam, after some shots had already been fired.

There were 8 body cams on scene, but the county attorney told @Bakari_Sellers that he wouldn’t be “fucking bullied into releasing any video.”

Coverup.
Bakari made clear that the sheriff acted professionally and wanted the footage released, but he was overruled by county attorney, Michael Cox.
I’m going to be sending Mr. Cox an email to let him know how I feel about his coverup.

Would be a shame if a few hundred thousand of my closest friends decided to join me.

I’m counting on you guys to be more diplomatic than I was — I might have called him a cartoonishly corrupt cockwomble and a racist assbucket

I think it’s also important to set realistic expectations for the American people.

There are things we can do quickly. Expanded background checks, mandatory waiting periods, closing gun show loopholes, etc.

An assault weapons ban is more complicated. 1/x
There is approximately a zero percent chance a 50/50 Senate that includes Manchin and Sinema would ever be able to pass an assault weapons ban.

It’s also not clear how helpful an assault weapons ban would ultimately be. If you use Clinton’s ban as a reference: 2/X
A ban would likely encompass semiautomatic firearms and/or high-capacity (over 10 rounds) magazines.

It would also almost certainly—as Clinton’s did—include a grandfather clause that would exempt the millions of weapons and magazines that are already in circulation. 3/X

It’s amazing what leadership can do.
To clarify a couple things:

1. I think Phil’s tweet might be mistaken on the doses vs “Americans vaccinated” figure.

300 million fully vaccinated Americans by July is unlikely, because 300 million Americans probably don’t actually *want* the vaccine. 1/2
For those asking if this is possible? Absolutely. 300 million doses is easy.

174 days to July 31 at current rate of vaccinations = 255 million doses.

That’s not accounting for J&J or increased production.

I suspect we’ll blow that number out of the water.

‘The perfect target’: Russia cultivated Trump as asset for 40 years.

This really doesn’t surprise anyone, right? It shouldn’t — most of us have been talking about it on Twitter for at least four years. 1/X

“Then, in 1987, Trump visited Moscow and St Petersburg for the first time. Shvets said he was fed KGB talking points and flattered by KGB operatives who floated the idea that he should go into politics.” 2/X

Shortly after, Trump began considering running for POTUS one day.
“For the KGB, it was a charm offensive. They had collected a lot of information on his personality so they knew who he was personally. The feeling was that he was extremely vulnerable intellectually, and psychologically, and he was prone to flattery.” 3/X

Early this morning, we successfully intercepted a ballistic missile in space with another missile fired from a destroyer in the middle of the ocean.

This is a big deal for the Missile Defense Agency, and the Aegis BMD.

1/4
The Aegis is a sea-based midcourse defense system and part of our broader, layered missile defense strategy. This means that the Aegis system targets missiles after their initial boost phase and before reentry into Earth’s atmosphere.

Here’s a very simple graphic of that. 2/4
This test is interesting, because intercepting a ballistic missile is hard, and this gives us more options.

You may have heard of THAAD and/or Patriot missile defense systems. These are designed to intercept later in the flight path (during the ‘terminal’ or re-entry phase) 3/4

Esper thread:

Couple things to discuss here.

When you’re a cabinet official—especially in a volatile administration— you resignation letter is almost *always* prepped, because you serve at the pleasure of the President and could be asked for it at any time. 1/4
The fact that it leaked that Esper “prepped” his resignation letter is still significant.

Trump obviously appears poised to lose the election—and is increasingly manic while the slow-motion loss hits him—so the question is why is Esper resigning *now*? 2/4
Could it be (as many folks have suggested) that it’s a “rat fleeing the sinking ship” scenario? Sure, but not only is that almost entirely pointless this late in the term, it’s potentially dangerous for national security. 3/4

BOOM!
“Donald J. Trump paid $750 in federal income taxes the year he won the presidency. In his first year in the White House, he paid another $750.

He had paid no income taxes at all in 10 of the previous 15 years — largely because he reported losing much more money than he made.”
“Also hanging over him is a decade-long audit battle with the Internal Revenue Service over the legitimacy of a $72.9 million tax refund that he claimed, and received, after declaring huge losses. An adverse ruling could cost him more than $100 million.”
