A M5.4 earthquake occurred near Lake Almanor (Plumas County) in northern California. Shaking reportedly felt 120 miles to the south in Sacramento. A quake of this size can potentially damage structures near the epicenter. CGS is monitoring this area. #earthquake

For love of country they accepted death & thus resolved all doubts & made immortal their patriotism & their virtue. We honour the men & women who laid down their lives for Ukraine. RIP - Oleksandr Fedorchenko, Yuriy Tsymbal, Vitaliy Chervonozhko, Serhiy Khomin #ArmUkraineNow

They were told to "be respectful & not boo!" We heard the applause but were not shown the disdain of about half of the audience!! msn.com/en-us/news/politics/…

BREAKING: By 10 PM last night CNN was back in last place in total audience and by 11 three quarters of the Trump audience had vanished. Chris Licht sold CNN’s soul, enraged his staff, and got...nothing. Not even ratings. THE THURSDAY COUNTDOWN PODCAST: tinyurl.com/vnakv635

It was Mike Pence who finally stepped in and ordered the deployment of the DC National Guard and authorized the MD National Guard, volunteered by Gov. Larry Hogan, to assist. He violated the law to do it, because the VP has no such authority until the 25th Amendment is invoked.
Donald Trump gave no order to deploy the National Guard to protect the Capitol prior to or on Jan 6. Listen to the testimony of his own secretary of defense. No matter how many times Trump lies about this the facts won’t change. He is unfit for any office.

I don't understand why traitor & criminal Donald Trump was given a platform to call January 6th a beautiful day? when on Jan 6, Trump's MAGA insurrectionist almost about to hang him! If Mike Pence @VP45 had any integrity, he’d speak up strongly against Trump and denounce him.
Trump called this “a beautiful day” last night on CNN and defended his actions that nearly led to the assassination of Mike Pence.

Maybe the best thing we all can do right now is abandon Twitter and turn it into Truth Social? I’m tired of the MAGATS…

#SlavaUkrainii @ZelenskyyUa is a consummate commander-in-chief, having spoken just yesterday about waiting on equipment before launching the equipment. How many more Russians will #PutinHitler, war criminal, sacrifice?
"The counter-offensive is in full swing. The Armed Forces of Ukraine are entering the flanks of Artemivsk [Bakhmut] successfully. Further on they will enter the territory of Bryansk and Belgorod regions," - Prigozhin.

Short thread.
Trump is what Trump was: a thug, crook, and head case. CNN is what CNN was: partner in a sick dynamic as both Trump scold and Trump publicist What matters: are *you* what *you* were? You beat Trump before. Now you must do it again. Dispiriting, yes. But you can - and you will.

“Women let you sexually assault them”, said the @GOP’s Leader, a Sexual Predator, to a round of applause by MAGA Republicans who want to deny those rape victims the right to healthcare.

The New York Times annotated the indictment that charged Representative George Santos of New York with 13 counts, including money laundering, stealing public money, wire fraud and making false statements to Congress. Here’s what to know. nyti.ms/3nIZ5Jn

It's also not just about correcting the big lies—No, the election wasn't stolen—but the routine smaller ones that he gets away with: "We had the best economy in history." No, you were the first president since Herbert Hoover to end his term with fewer jobs than when you started.

With over 12 million new jobs, 50-year-low unemployment, and a manufacturing boom, my invest in America agenda is working. House Republicans are threatening that progress by risking economic chaos unless we gut education, health care, and border funding to cut taxes on the rich.

Last night Trump gave permission to the Republican Party to press the default button. Be in absolutely no doubt, in a matter of 30 seconds, he encouraged the political terrorists to throw every American working and middle class family under the bus, in a callous cynical move that could destroy the global economy. Be afraid. Be very afraid. They want a new world order and the rich see it as an opportunity. #DemsAct #DemVoice1 #wtpBLUE #ONEV1 #FAM46

LIVE TV interviews are risky; a network must surrender control - at least partly - of its own platform, putting its relationship of trust with the audience at risk. Live lying works. Live fact checking does not. Trump is demonstrably unworthy of the risk that @cnn chose to take.
