Secretary Antony Blinken:
I have directed another $275 million worth of arms and equipment from the Dept of Defense inventories to Ukraine. This is our 24th drawdown since August 2021. As Ukraine’s defenders push back Russia’s forces, the United States stands United with #Ukraine.

GOP floods the country with guns, incites violence and then accuses Democrats of being responsible for that armed violence.
@susankitchens well done!

Elections are not like a hurricane. You don't watch the forecast and hope for the best.
If every Democrat votes the Democrats will keep both the House and the Senate.
Stop watching the forecast and vote.
@junbug178 there is more active discussions here from what I have seen, and as others have noted, I was immediately swarmed with questionable followers with very fake looking accounts on Tribel. I am not ditching Tribel for now, but I am not all that impressed so far.

Laurence Tribe
@tribelaw
This powerful SCOTUS brief on behalf of former prosecutors shreds Lindsey Graham’s brief to bits and leaves no doubt that his request to stay the order requiring him to testify in GA about the attempt to overturn the 2020 election is completely without merit.

@dreandmax Do tell. I deactivated my account so am not on to see the aftermath unfold.

BREAKING: Elon Musk just FIRED Twitter's head of Legal Policy, Trust & Safety. She made the official call to kick off Donald Trump.
@Nadinbrzezinski I need news feed items too, and Ukraine news is one of the things I followed closely on Twitter.
@bobbaer Just click on someone's user ID and you should get an option to follow.
@Jquinne Yes, I waited to pull the plug on Twitter until it was official, but as of this evening I have deactivated my Twitter account. It is a sad day, but honestly there wasn't any other good choice to be made.

Been a member here for a while, but still active on Twitter. Until this evening. Elon's final take over was the clincher. Just deactivated my Twitter account. I am sorry it came to that. I really did love the Twitterverse, but I refuse to subject myself to the wild wild west of hate and disinformation that is the vision of Elon Musk. I deserve better than that. I demand better than that.

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas gives DOJ until next Tuesday at 5pm ET to respond to Trump’s motion.
@morgurth The phone app works quite well. I have this on my PC for when I am in my office area and my phone for when I am just scrolling for entertainment while waiting on something. I like the PC for the big screen (columns) but the set up on the phone is good as well.
