💥"There was no order"—Trump's own Defense Secretary testified that Trump NEVER ordered Nat'l Guard troops for #Jan6. Pathetic liar Trump claims he did & Pelosi rejected it. And the GOP & GOP propaganda media shamelessly blame Dems for Trump's terrorist attack/coup/insurrection.
💥“prosecutors have asked…detailed questions about meetings Trump led in December 2020 and January 2021; his pressure campaign on Pence to overturn the election; and what instructions Trump gave his lawyers & advisers about fake electors and sending electors back to the states”
AG Garland is on it >> Justice Dept received phone records of key Trump officials and aides—including Mark Meadows—in April. BEFORE the @January6thCmte hearings in June & July.

The DOJ criminal probe into Trump & his coup attempt has apparently been going on for months.
DOJ’s criminal probe into Trump’s #Jan6 #coup has two investigative tracks that could ultimately lead to “additional scrutiny” of Trump.
1/ #seditious #conspiracy and conspiracy to obstruct a government proceeding
2/ #fraud tied to fake electors scheme & pressure on DOJ & states
In connection with DOJ’s criminal probe into Trump, subpoenas ordered 2 Arizona state legislators to turn over communications with any member, employee, or agent of Trump or any org. advocating for the 2020 re-election of Trump, including ‘Donald J. Trump for President, Inc.’
The criminal investigation into Trump is part of DOJ’s larger #Jan6 #coup probe—“the largest ever undertaken” by DOJ. It began after the mob insurrection. Most of the work is being done by 3 offices: US attorney in DC, criminal and national security divisions at Justice Dept HQ.
In the #Jan6 #coup criminal probe’s first year, DOJ prosecutors focused largely on the people who breached the Capitol.

This year the fake-elector plot is the inquiry’s major focus, investigating Trump lawyers & aides, notably Giuliani, Eastman, Meadows. And finally Trump.
💥NYT report matches WaPo bombshell that DOJ criminal probe into #Jan6 is investigating Trump’s personal involvement in the coup to overturn his election loss to Biden. Also confirms DOJ has Meadows’ phone records since April 🍿🍿🍿nytimes.com/2022/07/26/us

#Russia is sending teachers to occupied #Ukraine to control students’ education—offering ~6x higher pay to give a “corrected” education (ie Russian lies denying centuries of Ukrainian history & Russian terrorism)

#RussiaIsATerroristState☠️ #СлаваУкраїні🇺🇦 washingtonpost.com/world/2022/07/…
Despite Russia’s lucrative offer to indoctrinate Ukrainian students w/ Russian lies, some teachers & administrators say it’s “crazy” to go to occupied Ukraine bc it’s both unsafe & morally repugnant. “Everyone understands everything. These trips will not result in anything good.”
#Russia’s intense Russification in occupied regions of #Ukraine aims to quash Ukrainians’ sense of history, nationhood, even their language. Targeting Ukrainian education—to “correct” what children learn—is a key strategy of Russian Educ. Min. S.Kravtsov

🚨Let's understand what's happening. Republicans have gamed our democracy to move a radical right-wing agenda. They couldn't do it by winning elections, so installed a Supreme Court to do—or rather undo—everything—civil rights, separation of church & state, regulation by experts.
Democracy's on life support. Next year cld see the fatal blow: the Supreme Court allowing the GOP to so warp elections, "free & fair" will be a joke.

We must grasp what's happening, end denials & paralysis & ACT—while we still can. #ExpandTheCourt or doom democracy & the planet.
💯🚨 This Supreme Court could make Eastman's unconstitutional coup a legal reality next year! 4 are already open to the fringe GOP "independent state legislature” theory, which gives UNCHECKED power over federal elections to state legislatures—limiting even state courts to check.

Charmaine Yoest is gaslighting hard on @CNN. She doesn't believe public opinion supports Roe. "They didn't ask the right question."🤨

These "Pro-life" propagandists disregard & distort facts b/c their views are religious beliefs—by definition not open to reason. Why debate them? Image
@CNN @FWhitfield "Pro-life" spox showing up on @CNN are propagandists who have honed their disinformation & delivery for years. Yoest is among others following the same propaganda playbook. @emilybazelon wrote a great piece on her & the "cheerful war" on abortion in 2012 nytimes.com/2012/11/04/mag…
@CNN @FWhitfield @emilybazelon “Unborn life” is an Orwellian oxymoron. A fetus is NOT a baby. Abortion is NOT "killing babies."

It's all disinformation. The "Pro-life” movement—like other GOP culture wars—is a propaganda campaign using highly emotional language & imagery to distort facts for political gain.

🔥🔥Reading Luttig's statement & I'm so grateful he doesn't tiptoe around the crisis. The conservative judge says #Jan6 was a battle in Trump & GOP's ongoing war on democracy & America. He uses "war" 21x on just p1 ! He says they lied knowingly, to cling to power. #Jan6thHearings Image
Luttig: A stake was driven through the heart of American democracy on January 6, 2021, & our democracy today is on a knife’s edge.

America was at war on that fateful day, but not against a foreign power. She was at war against herself. We Americans were at war with each other…
Luttig: "January 6 was…a war for America’s democracy, a war irresponsibly instigated and prosecuted by the former president, his political party allies, and his supporters…
only the party that instigated this war over our democracy can bring an end to that war."

Watching President @ZelenskyyUa address @FSIStanford right now. He's talking about a special room in Kyiv used to greet visiting heads of state, now used to honor the heroes who have given their lives to defend #Ukraine's freedom & independence on day 93 of Russia's (8 year) war. Image
@ZelenskyyUa @FSIStanford Pres Zelensky expressed condolences for Uvalde killing, saying it's hard to understand how 18-year-old boys can kill & commit atrocities against innocent people & children. He said 18yo Russian soldiers have been committing incomprehensible slaughter in #Ukraine for 3 months now. Image
@ZelenskyyUa @FSIStanford Pres. Zelensky is taking questions from Stanford students, many from #Ukraine, taking the time to answer them deeply & thoughtfully. He is so personable with each student, even joking, telling one student she looks Ukrainian (she's German), and should thank her parents for that. ImageImage
