I hope DOJ does something soon.

Donald Trump faces at least eight ongoing criminal and civil proceedings, increasing the prospect of becoming the first former U.S. president to face indictment after leaving office. https://t.co/ftVPAnfD71

Trump is squarely in the crosshairs of at least three grand jury investigations that have been very active over the last half year.

There are 52 other criminal offenses he’s been credibly accused of committing.

That is a stunning record.

Lost in all the other legal news but Trump was deposed earlier this month in a fraud case involving a pyramid scheme (h/t @harrylitman). I wrote a backgrounder/explainer on that case a couple of years ago, with quotes from @Popehat and @profdaf ICYMI https://t.co/34ztBqF0dp

Never before has a former president faced an array of investigations as extensive as Donald Trump has. The story of how he got to this point is both historically unique and eminently predictable. Here is a breakdown of where the investigations stand. https://t.co/crZ8lIcdTe

Trump still hasn’t paid El Paso for costs from a 2018 rally

Trump is an evil lying scumbag.

I have posted on this before

We aren't talking nearly enough about the fact that Donald Trump STILL hasn't paid back more than $1 million to multiple cities for rally costs. City officials have been trying to get money back for weeks/months & still have nothing. If this doesn't break the law, it should.

Trump owes DC in addition to what he owes El Paso

The billionaire former president owes the city $569,204 for transportation, security and a 21-percent late fee. https://t.co/uxvKnkS9tK

When will people learn? If trump isn’t made to pay in advance, he doesn’t pay.

Trump refuses to explain why he won't pay El Paso $500,000 he owes the city after nearly 4 years https://t.co/b5hJgZZsgL
— Kurt Eichenwald (@kurteichenwald) October 22, 2022

That's nothing for him. He stills owes El Paso half a million dollars. El Paso is a pretty poor border city in Texas. https://t.co/UrEjHWW48Y

Much of the GOP is pro-Russia

Trump sure is.

Focus on this: This Putin stooge was Trump’s first choice for National Security Advisor. That’s after Russian intelligence helped elect Trump. And now much of MAGA is pro-Putin. Must be the most successful intelligence operation in history. https://t.co/wCG2z9Kfwb

There is a pro-Putin axis developing in America. And it’s no accident. ⁦@djrothkopf⁩ details Putin’s influence in the MAGA GOP. It also runs through the Tech Bros, libertarians and into the peace movements. Some are consciously allying, some duped. https://t.co/3IgaUZ2XBB

In March, 9% of GOP leaners said we were spending too much on Ukraine.

In May: 17%

Last month: 32%

The signs are there that a GOP majority might move to restrict/withhold aid. Now McCarthy is admitting as much.https://t.co/eJDgHe1h2f

Covers: Green Tambourine

“Green Tambourine” was a 1968 hit for the Lemon Pipers. The covers by Peppermint Rainbow and Mrs. Miller use the original backing track.

Bad CNN and New York Times headlines

I guess they don’t want to offend Republicans so they print these misleading headlines and tweets.

The tweet should say Republican election deniers.
— Harris Levy (@HarrisL585) October 21, 2022

The cowardice of New York Times headlines is exasperating. This story is all about the right-wing plot to spread disinformation. But the headline has no actor other than the disinformation itself. It’s a “mistakes were made” headline. https://t.co/88Ltf5DlHV pic.twitter.com/tbE7gz3UBm

More examples of terrible consequences of abortion bans

A Missouri woman whose water broke at 17 weeks, whose fetus was dying inside of her and threatening her life, was denied an abortion. She called a GOP state senator to beg for help getting around the law, and he sent her to an anti-abortion center. https://t.co/gKPJmflhYK

Today was my first OBGYN appt since the GOP banned abortion care in WI. I learned that the meds used to soften the cervix & make IUD inserts less painful are no longer an option bc they’re also used in abortions. Not only did the GOP take our rights, they’re making us suffer more

Where the cover art for Bob Dylan’s Oh Mercy is from

Didya know that Dylan's OH MERCY cover was a photo of this mural in Hell's Kitchen circa 1983? Bob spotted it on a wall of a Chinese restaurant in Hell’s Kitchen on 9th Avenue and 53rd Street while at the Power Station recording Infidels. The local artist who did it was Trotsky. pic.twitter.com/ODscxkfXQG

New York Magazine article

Disturbing response to my tweet on Trump’s antisemitism

I was alarmed by the response to my tweet below. I can’t understand why any Jew would support Trump who is clearly a terrible antisemite. As usual, they don’t respond to my concern about the GOP but try to point at Democrats.

Ask @GOP if they have any comments on Trump’s antisemitism.

Today is the anniversary of the Nazi-Fascist roundup of Italian Jews from Rome's ghetto. They were deported to extermination camps. Many Italian Jews never thought Mussolini would go after them. A lesson for our times given some US Jews' faith in Trump: https://t.co/1Sz80DoygS
— Ruth Ben-Ghiat (@ruthbenghiat) October 16, 2022

The abiding and even encouragement of Hitler-esque anti-Semitism by Trump and the @gop and the silence of @gop Jews in the face of that marks a frightening and rapid escalation. To treat Trump like he “said this before” or Kanye like he’s just a blowhard is profoundly dangerous.

White grievance, xenophobia, the “great replacement theory” and Confederate idolatry have taken center stage. They are the emotional levers by which Republicans incite their base and draw attention away from their rotten governance.https://t.co/sj8u7wh2PG
