The world has declared war on organized crime.

"There, but also in Limburg and in other provinces, 1,500 investigators carried out raids this morning in what the public prosecutor called “the largest police operation in Belgium (history)"

"The Carlyle Group...acquired Accelerate Learning on Dec. 20, 2018, according to the firm's website. At the time, Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin was the co-CEO of the firm. After 25 years with the company, Youngkin resigned in 2020 to run for office in VA."

Not an exaggeration by Rep. Jamie Raskin.

Great 🧵. I've been waiting for people to start talking about Newt's role in all of this. He is like the modern O.G. of confederacy revival, and no one could claim more credit for what the Republican Party has morphed into than him and his politics.

In Florida this gets your car searched and you get a court date.

Great analysis. Much like Hemingway, the underlying corroding pattern of Florida's governance is sadly and ironically the significance of things it doesn't say.

"The total number of people who could face charges in connection with their actions on Jan. 6 — either because they are accused of unlawfully entering the Capitol or of assaulting law enforcement officers outside — tops 2,500."

Yeah, but what if demand suddenly vanishes bc crypto is unsecured or bc people move to a different "coin"? It could go to zero almost in an instant.

Florida is going to lose this legal battle in spectacular fashion.

Florida is sued. Again. This will be a historic legal fight.

What a f'n dumpster fire. If the legal defense is, "well, the kkk did it back then and it was ok" you need a better lawyer. 🍿

"The case will be funded by the National Redistricting Foundation, a group led by former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder."

“All those funds went to the opposition for anti-Maduro protests summer of 2017,” Rivera wrote in the texts to the Herald. “I never saw a penny of it. That’s all I know.” He added that the Trump admin, including the State Dept, “were aware of everything.”

Lmao. "don't say cocaine"

Seriously. That's THE ONLY REASON this photo was released.

But now it's everywhere, bc for the last year Republicans have been dogging the LGBTQ community hard af, and no one feels sorry for Madison bc he's their tool.

My ouija board says, "some people are going to take the fall for it, and it won't be Erik Prince, Mike Flynn, or any of the congresspeople or billionaires."

I hope its wrong.

Great reporting 👇

I couldn't tell. Trying to act like a hard-ass is why you're being roasted right now. That, and how much of an obvious tool you've been for the GOP. In reality, genders change with surgery, but lucky for you, a mind can change for free. 🖕the GOP.

It was a coup. A man died on January 6th defending the capitol, and another 160 police officers were injured by violence that was premeditated and part of a seditious conspiracy which sprang from a conspiracy to defraud the U.S.
