Allow me to help the NYT: it is an important test for democracy and the way you pass is applying the law equally to all citizens pic.twitter.com/G0NPfyZwju

It says that Clinton plea bargained to avoid prosecution. Why would he do that if he was immune? Why would Ford have bothered with a (very costly!) pardon if he knew Nixon was immune? And we're correctly told about Burr and Agnew.

This is mostly a lie, but to the extent it was ever true, it was a catastrophic mistake that ought to have been corrected from the start. That important people ought to be held to a lower standard than their lessers is the most pernicious idea the NYT has ever peddled. https://t.co/jqvdPI0EUh

The concern is misplaced. It's not that there will be good faith prosecutions that are unnecessary - it's that the fascistic right wing will launch bad faith prosecutions against political opponents - something they've already promised to do. This isn't a "both sides" problem

Transgender people are some of the bravest Americans I know. But no person should have to be brave just to live in safety and dignity.

Today, on Transgender Day of Visibility, I renew my commitment to building a healthy, safe, free, and just future for trans people everywhere. https://t.co/sR5pHvkSHU

They were on Team Hitler. At least in the beginning

 

Today, my four-year-old was reading the opinion page when he turned to me gravely and asked “Daddy, why is Trump’s indictment unprecedented?” When I told him “because traditionally wealthy white men have not been expected to comply with our nation’s laws,” he started crying.

The problem is that Trump is a huge criminal, and Republicans, knowing this, supported him unreservedly for seven years anyhow, so now right-wing commentators, even nominally anti-Trump ones, need to pretend to believe this stuff to protect the rest of the party. https://t.co/cZb6imchT8

This made me laugh

"security camera footage"

Of Trump.

Committing a crime.

AT HOME.

That mother fucker is so dumb he recorded his crimes at his own house and didn't delete the recordings. https://t.co/w1GLYgaO8v

BREAKING: Trump himself hid documents at Mar-a-Lago, and DOJ has proof, including witness testimony, texts, and video footage.

AFTER getting the grand jury subpoena, Trump went through docs personally — and then they were moved elsewhere at Mar-a-Lago (including his office).

I’ve been wrong to compare news reporters at Murdoch outlets to deli workers at Satriale’s. The crew didn’t abuse the deli workers, who kept their dignity. (Just be careful eating at the place!)

Fox reporters are way more like Sal Vitro, the landscaper. https://t.co/i5mns8cLNk https://t.co/txJ5iGnDE2

Every local prosecutor in the country has free rein to prosecute bank robbers. For most of us, that’s not a problem.

I don’t think Carter, Bush or Obama are worried. If we ever again make the mistake of electing a criminal as president, yes, he or she will have a problem. https://t.co/fsxERFN7fB

Regular reminder that Twitter verification started because of St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa, who sued Twitter because he was being impersonated on the platform. It was never intended to be (solely) about internet clout. https://t.co/dANQ4KsYqo
