Please get me out of this nightmare. Why in the world would @NBCNewsPR give platform to criminal KGB thug, Putin, who has committed some of the worst human rights atrocities and continues to attack US and the West? This is mind blowing

This is one of the reasons autocrats are gaining hold while democracies are in decline. Russia would never give Biden or any Western leader platform on their state media yet Western media runs towards the chance to help push propaganda and lies

JUST ANNOUNCED: Russian President Putin sits down exclusively with @NBCNews @KeirSimmons from Moscow -- his first U.S. TV interview in nearly three years -- just days before he's set to meet with U.S. President Biden.

After the Civil War, progressive abolitionists in Congress passed a law against killing voters, intimidating them, stopping them from voting. Its a crime. You go to jail. https://gregpalast.com/is-it-time-we-made-manchin-a-verb/ #VotingRights #CivilRights #VoterSuppression #ElectionFraud

I was just investigating mass violations of the Ku Klux Klan Act in Georgia, Texas, North Carolina & Florida. Theyre not using white sheets, theyre using spreadsheets, but its the same thing & its a crime!

Mapping out a path in my search for signs of ancient life: after my first campaign to the south, the long term plan takes me back up north to study the nearby delta, where a river once emptied into this ancient lakebed. Lots to explore here.

I Smoked The Moon's Orbit On The Orders Of BLM
@BlackKnight10k
We're going to discover a new Trump DOJ scandal every week for the next 8 years. Can you give Garland a little time to sort through the flaming pile of shit that was handed to him? He has 115k employees. He can't unfuck it all in 10 Scaramuccis.

Senator Ron Johnson has been banned from YouTube for so-called "Covid misinformation"! This is very unfortunate--especially as he still has three thousand cases of hydroxy he needs to sell!

YouTube has banned Ron Johnson for firing off COVID conspiracy theories that seriously put lives in danger and yet he calls it the free exchange of medical ideas. Nope. Its fear-mongering on behalf of the GOP and the rotten Ron Johnson soon to be former Senator.
Senator Ron Johnson
@SenRonJohnson
YouTubes arrogant Covid censorship continues. How many lives will be lost as a result? How many lives could have been saved with a free exchange of medical ideas? This suppression of speech should concern every American. @FDRLST

Prosecutor in case against Jose Padilla tells court theyve made a formal plea offer, defense says they are still considering offer on the table. No details on the offer. Padilla remains incarcerated.

@ryanjreilly
Standard reminder that plea deals are how the overwhelming majority of federal cases are settled.
Judge says a 60 day extension is appropriate, but warns that theyre not just going to keep doing extensions. He says government will have to do some real soul-searching if global Capitol discovery is going to take six months.
