🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: HUGE Georgia Court of Appeals rules Fani Willis and her office are disqualified in criminal case against Trump & others. 1/ 2/ This is huge because with Willis' office disqualified case randomly assigned to another prosecutorial office.

THREAD: This headline & lede is fascinating to me because it is both spot on and 100% wrong. I agree @SpeakerJohnson has a "taste of the hell that awaits him," but The Sun is completely wrong on the why, as are Dems & rest of media. 1/ 2/ It isn't Musk & his posts or the slim majority: It is that "X is the media" now & the old way of Washington doing business are over. Again, the proof of this is in the killing in February of immigration bill on @LeaderMcConnell's watch.

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING-ish on whistleblower @EithanHaim who outed child mutilation at Texas hospital whistle. Federal judge basically says "that's a nice First Amendment right to free speech you've got there, be a pity if anything happened to it." 1/ 2/ Here's the background on the hearing from earlier this week on the Biden Administration's effort to gag @EithanHaim. @FDRLST thefederalist.com/2024/11/27/bid…

BREAKING: Holy crap, lots of breaking news in @EithanHaim case, with court unsealing documents. Buckle in...I'm buying and having loaded to courtlistener for the X is the media folks. 1/ 2/ So WTH was government filing this underseal for? Because they look like a bunch of incompetent boobs who made up statutory language in an indictment?storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

BREAKING: X files response in @EithanHaim criminal case after outrageous government DOJ lawyers attempt to seal relevant information. 1/ storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco… 2/ @EithanHaim is whistleblower re transgender mutilation underway and DOJ went after him criminally. As X notes in its motion to intervene and oppose motion to seal, gov't wants to halt public criticism.

Dems, It’s not messaging, it’s policy. Here are just a few Despicable Democrat policy arguments that seem to also be their party platform 1/7: (1) Democrats On deporting illegal immigrants: “we can’t deport illegal immigrants because who’s gonna pick our lettuce for less than minimum wage?”

Was studying @mtaibbi & @thackerpd recent piece on CCDH's attack on free speech under guise of combating disinformation & noticed of attendings to invite-only conference they referenced were four distinct abortion groups. 1/ 2/ So very telling & necessary for pro-aborts to control speech so they can continue to lie about a) state referendums which guarantee abortion till birth; b) women w/ miscarriages dying post-Roe; c) post-viability abortions on healthy babies/moms don't happen;

THREADETTE: I knew in early days of COVID that government & Fauci were lying to us for simple reason that I had previously researched mask protection. As backdrop, our son has cystic fibrosis. About 8ish years ago, the CF Foundation updated Center guidelines to require CFers to wear masks. 1/ 2/ CF Foundation "certifies" Centers & thus compliance by Centers is very important to get stamp of approval. As further background, CFers are susceptible to colonizing bacteria in their longs & most dangerous ones are spread from one CFer to another. They also cough a lot.

🧵on self-righteous folks announcing departure of X. First, I highlight doubt it will stick. Rather, they'll do what Jen Rubin has done which is announcing they aren't "communicating" here and only promoting work. Beyond being hilariously cowardly, oh, I'd leave completely but 1/ 2/ I need this platform to promote my work; they can't quit X. See e.g. Or they'll come back.

Quick follow-up story related to suggestion: Growing up, my dad taught auto mechanics at technical school. At my 10 year high school reunion, classmate I knew only by name approached me. Remember him as not much of student but seemed decent enough guy. 1/

2/ Barry asked how my dad was doing. Caught me off guard & then he explained he had received his associates degree taking my dad's various auto mechanic classes & that my dad had then helped him score a great job at local dealership.

This piece by @MZHemingway is fascinating in so many ways and such a necessary "living history" reminder of what Tapper & other Russia collusion hoaxers did. What I found most fascinating, though is how Tapper-Sciutto exchange provided her confirmation.1/ thefederalist.com/2024/10/29/jak… 2/ I say this because I so "get" it. Early on during SpyGate, I continued to take it all "serious." And Mollie regularly would call B.S. weeks before stories were proven B.S. The Nunes released his memo & my background as ~25 federal appellate clerk provided me a similar moment.

🚨🚨🚨THREAD: After waiting on @JocelynBenson press office for comment/clarification/sourcing, which was not forthcoming, here is result of my investigation. Let's be clear: @elonmusk was right here and @JocelynBenson is spreading dangerous disinformation. 1/

https://twitter.com/JocelynBenson/status/1847833824039678315

2/ First let me start by saying I emailed personal email addresses for press people, which I had from earlier media inquiry, so they got my message. Second, I'll add I started this hunt after seeing @TomFitton fact check of Benson here.

🚨🚨🚨GREAT catch by @julie_kelly2. Here's another story that confirms Iglesias was first federal prisoner to receive surgery (castration). Several points of note: Trump's BOP DENIED request. 1/ abc7chicago.com/transgender-in… x.com/julie_kelly2/s… 2/ But Biden-Harris Administration granted request--not because court ordered it but through voluntary settlement with ACLU. Here's settlement agreement. aclu-il.org/sites/default/…

THREADETTE: Here's full JD Vance interview with Raddatz. Several thoughts, beginning w/ how interview closed re "Did Trump lose in 2020." For first time @JDVance nailed the issue & I hope next interview he pushed back with "What do you mean by lost?" 1/ abcnews.go.com/ThisWeek/video… 2/ Vance has been always responded w/ there were problems in 2020 election & highlights gov't complicity in censoring of Hunter Biden story as example of something that altered outcome of election. This time though he added "rigged" "stolen" whatever word you want to use.

THREADETTE: Remember when Walz told his supporters to talk to folks at the grocery store about the importance of voting for Harris? Well, here's a sampling of how that might play out on the ground in Michigan based on DH's conversation with roofer today. 1/ 2/ Roofer on his own said to DH (who for newbies is "dear husband" who is old fashion and thus conservative but is apolitical--he thinks all politicians are crooks): "Well, price of everything is so high given the current administration's policies."

😡😡😡My lunch break is nearly over so I can't respond in full to this bullshit Washington Post hit piece on @elonmusk 1/ washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/… 2/ But two points: This slur against @CletaMitchell is outrageous.

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: Aaron Siri, attorney for @RobertKennedyJr confirmed for me, as follows: “The Michigan Secretary of State, as directed by the Court of Appeals, had already certified the candidates to all 83 counties in Michigan for ballot printing without Mr. Kennedy’s name." 1/ 2/ Mr. Siri notes: "Today’s decision incredibly allows the Secretary to add Mr. Kennedy’s name to the ballot despite the withdrawal of his candidacy weeks ago. This plainly has nothing to do with ballot or election integrity."

THREAD: As of today, Michigan Supreme Court has not entered the fray re removal of @RobertKennedyJr name from ballot. Several points of note. 1/

2/ First, here is the Court of Appeals' opinion: Significantly, it provides courts.michigan.gov/4a537c/siteass…

As former clerks of Judge Daniel Manion prepare to say final goodbye to one of the best men we ever knew, who lived by moto of "faith and family," we're gathering pictures. One of my favorites w/ all dear friends now
@JudgeDillard, Profess @erheakirk, and Anon. IYKYK. 1/ 2/ This was Christmas party clerks threw for Judge (beyond one Court threw for us). @JudgeDillard gifted us personalized hats w/ name on back. Prof. @erheakirk "Top Shelf"--Judge came up w/ that b/c of her taste in everything best (not liquor). Me "Slash" b/c of my editing.

THREADETTE:
1. Putin is an absolute evil leader & Russia is an enemy of the United States.
2. All countries attempt to interfere in other countries governance to their advantage. U.S. does this all the time--sometimes for the good and sometimes for the bad. 1/ 3. I am appalled that Biden-Harris Administration are willing to coddle Hamas which executed an American citizen to try to out Netanyahu.
4. Propaganda and targeted speech is one way countries interfere with other countries & U.S. does this all the time.

Just doing some experiments: (Note re #2: DS likes to troll me by asking if I want a window room in my nursing home.) 1/



2/ Now this one seems telling especially since I've googled from many articles on the attempt on Trump:
