@WhiteHouse @POTUS It’s so weird that Medicare, Medicaid, and Obamacare have eligibility requirements that all state that undocumented immigrants are not eligible. I know it can be embarrassing not to know how these programs work.

IT'S NOT COMPLICATED. No free health care for illegal aliens. Put America First. Don't be dumb. Fund the government. 😌

@h1storyhunt3r @FoxNews It’s like saying it doesn’t matter if we prove guilt and we don’t need laws or courts. We can just suspect someone of something and decide our own justice. If this is true then the President is a rapist and pedophile and should be thrown in jail or worse.

@FoxNews Libs just hate when anyone besides them is in power. The mediocrity of them defending drug traffickers with these bogus attempts at “morality” is beyond comprehension 🤡

"I'd say we smoked a drug boat and there's 11 narco-terrorists at the bottom of the ocean — and when other people try to do that, they're gonna meet the same fate." Pete Hegseth said the U.S. military had the "absolute" authority to strike a Venezuelan boat carrying nearly a dozen suspected Tren de Aragua gang members in the southern Caribbean Sea.

@MedianPolitics @JillWineBanks R U saying protecting family members from harm is a show of partisanship?

Perhaps if there's even a hint of a conflict of interest, the judge should consider recusing himself, especially given the unique circumstance of a former President and presumed Republican Party nominee facing criminal charges for the first time in United States history. If the judge lacks the judgment necessary to recuse himself, perhaps he's not suited to preside over this case.

Judge in Trump's NY criminal trial is protecting justice and the rule of law by rightly expanding the gag order to protect family members of those involved in the case. He made it clear that there'd be consequences if Trump violates the order. This is the right thing. #JillsPin.

Dear All, In May there will be an interesting lipid meeting in Warsaw. I hope to see some of you there! #about" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">conference.nencki.edu.pl/#about

You're making a false assertion that President Trump was absolved of the Russian interference, and then making accusations from there. The reason that the former was not indicted was because of DOJ's long-standing policy not to indict a sitting president. I provide links and summaries below. **And the way a Republic ends is when our leaders become so partisan that the truth is sacrificed.** I. Links to both volumes of the Mueller Report: Volume I: justice.gov/storage/report… (focused on Russian interference in the 2016 election) Volume II: justice.gov/storage/report… (focused on potential obstruction of justice by President Trump) II. Here is a summary of both volumes, with citations: 1. Russian Interference Acknowledgment: Russian interference efforts and Trump's encouragement of Russia to find Clinton's emails are discussed in Volume I. The report details the Russian hacking and dumping of emails from the Clinton campaign and Democratic party entities. It cites Trump's public statements inviting Russia to find Clinton's deleted emails. This set the stage for questions about potential coordination between the Trump campaign and Russian efforts. (Vol. I, pp. 1-7, Introduction to Volume I) 2. Trump Tower Meeting: This meeting between campaign officials and Russians claiming to have "dirt" on Clinton is detailed in Volume I, Section IV.A.5. The participants included Trump Jr., Kushner, Manafort and Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya. Veselnitskaya's ties to the Kremlin raised counterintelligence concerns. The meeting was set up after the Russians offered derogatory information on Clinton as "part of Russia and its government's support for Mr. Trump." (Vol. I, pp. 110-123, Section IV.A.5) 3. WikiLeaks Coordination: Trump's public comments praising WikiLeaks and its release of hacked Democratic emails are explored in Volume I, Section III.D. The report examines potential coordination between the campaign and WikiLeaks' dump of stolen emails. It details Trump's public encouragement of future releases focusing on Clinton. Investigators scrutinized ties between WikiLeaks and Russian intelligence services. (Vol. I, pp. 48-51, Section III.D) 4. Misleading Statements about Trump Tower Moscow: Cohen's false statements to Congress regarding the proposed Trump Tower Moscow project are examined in Volume II, shedding light on misleading narratives. Cohen admitted to lying about the timing and extent of the project negotiations with Russia. His lies matched the campaign's public messaging downplaying any Russian connections. The report probes efforts to obscure details of the Moscow tower proposal. (Vol. II, pp. 12-17, Section II.K) 5. George Papadopoulos's Contacts with Russians: Papadopoulos's interactions with Russian-linked individuals are covered in Volume I, Section IV.A.1. As a foreign policy advisor, he maintained contacts with Russians claiming access to "dirt" on Clinton. He persisted in efforts to arrange a meeting between the campaign and Russian government despite being told not to by senior staff. His activities provoked concerns of Russian attempts to infiltrate the campaign. (Vol. I, pp. 81-94, Section IV.A.1) 6. Paul Manafort's Sharing of Polling Data: Manafort's interactions with Konstantin Kilimnik, including sharing of internal polling data, are detailed in Volume I. Manafort worked with Kilimnik, who had ties to Russian intelligence, while serving as Trump's campaign chair. After being ousted, Manafort continued coordinating the transfer of polling data to Kilimnik for unclear reasons. This raised counterintelligence alarms about Russian infiltration efforts. (Vol. I, pp. 129-131, 136-140) 7. Roger Stone's Contacts with WikiLeaks: Stone's efforts to get advance information on WikiLeaks' email releases and the campaign's interest in those efforts are discussed in Volume I. Stone aimed to pass potential damaging information about Clinton to the campaign. He communicated with both WikiLeaks and Russian intelligence officers claiming advance knowledge of releases. Investigators probed the extent of coordination on the timing and contents of damaging releases. (Vol. I, pp. 51-53, Section III.D.2) 8. Firing of James Comey: The events leading up to and motivations behind President Trump's firing of FBI Director James Comey are analyzed in Volume II. Trump was frustrated by Comey's refusal to publicly exonerate him regarding the Russia probe. The firing raised alarms about obstructing the Russia investigation. Ultimately, Mueller could not conclusively determine Trump's underlying motivation and intent. (Vol. II, pp. 60-77, Section IV.A) 9. Attempts to Fire Mueller: President Trump's efforts to remove Special Counsel Mueller, including directing the White House Counsel to fire Mueller, are detailed in Volume II. Trump reacted angrily to news of Mueller's appointment and attempted to shut down the investigation via removal of its leader. The report examines whether these actions qualified as obstructive attempts to undermine the probe. (Vol. II, pp. 77-90, Section IV.B) 10. Efforts to Influence Michael Flynn's Cooperation: The Trump administration's interactions with former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn regarding his cooperation with investigators are discussed in Volume II. This includes an episode where Trump allegedly told Comey he hoped the FBI would "let Flynn go" and later asked aides to keep Flynn from cooperating or accepting a guilty plea. (Vol. II, pp. 28-35, Section II.J) 11. Campaign Finance Violations: While not the primary focus, the Mueller Report tangentially references Michael Cohen's illegal campaign contributions, which were the subject of separate legal proceedings. Cohen implicated Trump in these violations related to alleged hush money payments made during the 2016 campaign. The report notes Cohen's role but does not make conclusions about Trump's conduct. (Vol. I, p. 180-181) 12. Misleading Statements on Trump Tower Meeting: The crafting and dissemination of a misleading public statement obscuring the purpose of the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting with Russians is analyzed in Volume II. Trump had input into the statement describing the meeting as regarding adoption policies, contradicting emails showing it was premised on obtaining Clinton "dirt." This raised questions about the president's involvement in a cover-up. (Vol. II, pp. 97-100, Section IV.D) 13. Jeff Sessions's Recusal Pressure: Trump's anger and efforts to pressure Attorney General Jeff Sessions over his recusal from the Russia investigation are discussed in Volume II. Trump berated Sessions in private and public, calling his recusal "a disgrace." He urged Sessions to un-recuse and take control of the probe. The report examines if Trump's actions amounted to improper efforts to influence an ongoing investigation. (Vol. II, pp. 107-111, Section IV.E.1) 14. Attempts to Curtail the Mueller Investigation: President Trump's attempts to limit the scope and authority of the Special Counsel's investigation are covered in Volume II. This includes Trump's efforts to remove Mueller due to purported "conflicts of interest" and efforts to curtail the probe by drawing improper red lines around key individuals and potential crimes. The report assesses if these acts were obstructive. (Vol. II, pp. 90-97, Section IV.C) 15. Encouragement of Manafort Not to Cooperate: Comments and messaging from Trump that discouraged Paul Manafort from cooperating with investigators are detailed in Volume II. After Manafort's indictment, Trump publicly praised his former campaign chairman for not "flipping" on him. Such witness tampering could amount to obstructive acts aimed at discouraging cooperation and insulating the president from liability. (Vol. II, pp. 123-131, Section IV.G) 16. Discrediting of Investigators and Witnesses: President Trump's frequent public criticisms of Mueller's investigation team and witnesses who cooperated are documented throughout Volume II. He repeatedly attacked the probe as a "witch hunt" and discredited cooperating witnesses like Cohen and Comey as liars. These relentless attacks raised concerns he intended to undermine the integrity of the investigation. (Vol II, e.g. pp. 49-50, 77-78) 17. Disclosure of Classified Information to Russians: The Mueller Report does not directly cover President Trump's reported disclosure of highly classified intelligence to Russian officials in an Oval Office meeting in 2017. However, this controversial incident prompted allegations Trump recklessly mishandled sensitive information and aided foreign adversaries. 18. Obstruction of Justice Allegations: Potential instances where President Trump may have obstructed justice through various acts are extensively examined and analyzed in Volume II. This includes analyzing his intent, efforts to impair the investigation, and legal interpretations of obstruction statutes. Mueller ultimately did not conclude whether Trump committed criminal obstruction. (Vol. II, pp. 1-180) 19. Refusal to Release Tax Returns: Trump's refusal as a candidate and president to publicly release his tax returns is not directly addressed in the Mueller Report. However, it raised transparency concerns related to his financial dealings and potential conflicts of interest or leverage over Trump by foreign entities like Russia. 20. Denial of Russian Interference: Trump's repeated public denials and casting of doubt about Russian interference in the 2016 election, contradicting U.S. intelligence assessments, are relevant across both volumes. His statements aligning with Russian disinformation prompted scrutiny of his true stance on hostile Kremlin cyber operations against American democracy. (Vol. I, pp. 60-66; Vol II, pp. 5-6) 21. Revocation of Security Clearances: While not the focus of the Russia probe, President Trump's controversial revocation and threats to revoke security clearances of former officials who became critics raised concerns. It was viewed by some as punitive and aimed at punishing free speech. This issue falls outside the scope of the Mueller Report. 22. False Statements about Russian Contacts: The Mueller Report documents numerous false statements and denials by Trump associates about their contacts with Russians during the 2016 campaign and transition. These untruthful statements impeded investigations and formed a pattern of dishonest coverup surrounding Russian overtures. Examples are detailed in Volume I. (Vol. I, pp. 180-182) 23. Failure to Report Foreign Contacts: Multiple Trump advisors failed to report contacts with Russian nationals or Kremlin-linked individuals as required under federal law and policy. The report highlights failures like those of Papadopoulos, Flynn, Sessions and Kushner to properly disclose foreign outreach. This compounded counterintelligence vulnerabilities. (Vol. I, pp. 180-185) 24. Use of Encrypted Messaging: Throughout the Russian probes, investigators faced challenges obtaining communications via encrypted or locked messaging apps used by some individuals. The inability to access these records complicated evidence collection efforts, as noted in the report. Apps like Signal, WhatsApp and others can obfuscate key data. (Vol. I, p. 10) 25. Alleged Witness Tampering: President Trump's communications with associates like Manafort, Cohen and others are examined for potential witness tampering in Volume II. His public praise of Manafort for not "flipping" and attacks on Cohen raised obstruction questions. The report probed whether comments intended to discourage cooperation amounted to criminal acts. (Vol. II, pp. 123-131, Section IV.G) 26. Dissemination of Misleading Information: The dissemination of false and misleading public statements by the Trump campaign about contacts with Russia and Russians is discussed in the report. Examples include denials of any connections or meetings, which were later proven untrue. This pattern of dishonest messaging raised counterintelligence concerns and hampered investigations. The report suggests the misleading statements may have been part of an obstructive effort. (Vol. I, pp. 180-185) 27. Meetings with Russian Officials Without Proper Documentation: While not a central focus, the Mueller Report likely scrutinized instances where Trump associates met with Russian officials or envoys and failed to properly document or disclose those encounters. Such secretive contacts raised counterintelligence vulnerabilities that complicated investigations. The lack of records could obscure inappropriate conversations or dealings. 28. Resistance to Sanctions on Russia: The Mueller Report's primary scope was counterintelligence concerns rather than evaluating the Trump administration's policies and posture towards Russia. However, any resistance by Trump to imposing congressionally-mandated sanctions on Moscow over its election interference would be relevant circumstantial evidence. Reports of Trump resisting penalties raised questions about his motivations. 29. Dismissal of Russian Hacking Concerns: Trump's refusal to accept U.S. intelligence assessments about Russian cyber-attacks and interference is referenced, especially in Volume I's background sections. His statements aligning with Russian disinformation caused alarm among officials. This challenged presenting a unified front against continuing Kremlin cyber operations targeting American democracy. (Vol. I, pp. 60-67) 30. Inconsistent Statements on Russian Interference: Across both volumes, the report documents President Trump's wildly inconsistent and contradictory public statements regarding Russian interference in the 2016 election. He veered from initially claiming no interference, to acknowledging it but denying collusion, to outright rejecting intelligence conclusions. This raised credibility concerns and complicated formulating policy responses. (Vol. I, pp. 60-67)

Bored in the hospital so I put all my symptoms into ChatGPT & asked it to list the most likely dx’s in order. Of course, anxiety was at the top of the list. So I ran it again but as a male pt, and to absolutely no ones surprise, anxiety wasn’t even ON the list of possible dx’s 🙃

@harrylitman @AshaRangappa_ Let’s all take a second to appreciate the visual of a man who silenced people around him with NDAs arguing he shouldn’t be silenced by a gag order because it’s violating on his rights.

When folks ask why Sidney Powell pled guilty in Fulton County, yes, the risk of felony convictions was surely on her mind. But also weighing on her? Ongoing civil litigation, including Dominion's suit. 1/

And that means either they were unable to convince any Meadows allies with firsthand knowledge of his activities and/or Trump’s directives to take the stand for him—or that because of the secrecy with which they operated, no such witnesses exist. Either one is not a good look. 4/

“I was on my usual running path when I heard an older man yelling loudly enough for me to hear through my headphones. "Sexy lady, hey hey hey sexy lady!" He kept screaming it and I decided to just ignore him and keep running. This ignoring seemed to piss him off so he lashed out and said "eff you, dumb B****!" Now let's keep in mind he was well-dressed and appeared to be on his lunch break from an office job. That was my trigger point. The B word. I ripped off my headphones prepared to stand up for myself when this little boy who was walking alongside his mother and little sister in a stroller looked at the guy and said, "Hey. That is not nice to say to her and she didn't like you yelling at her. You shouldn't do that because she is a nice girl and I don't let anyone say mean things to people. She's a girl like my sister and I will protect her." The man was immediately embarrassed and started gathering his lunch to leave. I asked the mother if I could hug the little boy (his name is James) and I told him how grateful I was for him. He just shrugged and said "Well I just wanted to make sure your heart was okay." According to his mother, this is a typical day in the life of James. Thank you so much to the mothers and fathers who are raising the next generation to be brave and courageous, and to be little earth angels for all. I am so touched.” Julia Price

@JoyceWhiteVance The people need to see the witnesses testifying. They need to look them in the eyes as they testify. They need to directly hear from them and Trump as they tell their story, not someone’s second hand interpretation.

I'll say it again. The Chief Justice must authorize televising Trump's trial on charges connected to his attempts to interfere in the outcome of the 2024 election. Justice demands it.

Today after Mitch McConnell had what seemed like some sort of medical incident, President Biden called him to make sure he was doing well. Biden and McConnell are from opposite ends of the political spectrum. They have been going at each other politically for decades. But today it was one human being caring about the well being of another human being. It’s the way we should all act toward one another.

If this were a normal court, with real judges in the majority, it would take seriously the news that this was a fraudulent case and would vacate its opinion and direct the imposition of sanctions on the lawyers who hacked the legal system and perpetrated this hoax.
