EU says Elon should not lie abt my blue check retweeted
Allow me to put the vile Vivek Ramaswamy ad into perspective.
This is Mike Caruso, GOP politician in Florida. He was arrested for molesting his grandson. He stuck his penis in his 3 year old grandson’s mouth and urinated.
Vivek and JD Vance support Mike Caruso.
Again, the RICO theory in this indictment would be tremendous precedent to cage @FBIDirectorKash for his collusion in Trump's ongoing fraud and misuse of govt.
Thanks for that, Kash!!!
30+ years in office. Federally indicted.
Prosecutors allege Sen. Louise Lucas used her position to shield a 5-year marijuana enterprise involving her family—nearly $5M involved.
Thanks to @AGToddBlanche, @TheJusticeDept, FBI agents & partners.
No one is above the law.

“Departures from these practices should never be countenanced because they risk allowing prosecutors to impact national elections.” -Todd Blanche on DOJ’s 60-day rule, September 2024
Q: The typical practice is DOJ doesn't usually release charges this close to an election. Even though Ms Lucas isn't on the ballot, her daughter is. So can you speak to the reason of the timing?
BLANCHE: The 60 day or 90 day practice is not in writing. That's not part of the justice manual. There's nothing improper.
Know what makes a mockery, @AAGMcDonald?
The fact that you have 1) SHUT DOWN more serious fraud prosecutions 2) turned this fraud effort into a clearly fraudulent propaganda campaign 3) to cover up the President's fraud.
BREAKING: Blubbery Fatso @mrddmia says history is racist.
Again: as Defense Attorney @AGToddBlanche said this was a GRAVE abuse.

FWIW: The trafficking charges on this look fairly strong.
The Wire Fraud (getting loans that they shouldn't have gotten) probably is too.
The Bribery will be especially problematic (and delay the case), given John Roberts has made bribery legal.
The RICO will be funny.
These are two overt acts in the RICO part of the Louise Lucas indictment.
If these are criminal, the ENTIRE Trump Administration, including -- especially!!! -- Blanche and Kash, go to prison.

See what I mean? Everyone knows @AGToddBlanche is lying. He LITERALLY is expending DOJ resources to protect Trump from $1B in tax crimes.
.@AGToddBlanche: "Whether you are a Democrat or a Republican, an elected official or an everyday citizen, nobody is above the law. If you commit crimes in violation of federal law, the Department of Justice will prosecute you."

Really weird that reports like these don't talk about @StephenM's role in the loss.
Yeah, a lot of the Latino movement is economic, just like everywhere else. But some part of it is opposition to Stephen's gulag.
NEW @WIRED: Trump aides casting around for a scapegoat for midterm losses have landed on James Blair since he owned a backfiring redistricting strategy — and they can’t exactly tell the president he’s at fault for starting the Iran war wired.com/story/its-the-pres…
WOWOWO.
Republicans are sure opposed to wealth.
I guess only if Brown people pursue it?
.@Budowich BRAVELY says that the next generations of Republicans will be pro child rape.
Dummy @alexbruesewitz!
@willscharf just confirmed that Article 2 is accurate!!
So in other words, the story about @SusieWiles was completely made up.
Nice to see a correction…
WOWOW. @StevenCheung47 says Trump was lying at his rally.
Shorter @willscharf: I will send you an unprecedented letter claiming a story reporting the White House is freaking out is false, which confirms the White House is freaking out.
You MAGAts are so fucking gullible.
emptywheel.net/2026/10/22/th…
Reminder that Defense Attorney @AGToddBlanche said it would be a gross abuse to roll out indictments ANYTIME during an election.
Again, MAGAts are arguing:
1) Politico article 2 saying the White House was freaking out is false.
2) While the White House is provably freaking out.
Politico’s reporters and editors were presented with irrefutable evidence disproving their previous reporting, yet chose to ignore facts, peddle lies, and manufacture controversy. They retracted one story, but there are two more they must address.
Politico’s reckless disregard for the truth is a disgrace to journalism. At this point, the question isn’t whether Politico got the facts wrong — it’s why its editors continue to publish claims they know are false. Politico should be embarrassed.
BREAKING!!!!
After years of propaganda, @jsolomonReports confirms he can't read bc nothing said this.
HOHOHOHOHO.
The propagandist is illiterate!!
LET'S HELP POOR @jsolomonReports out.
1) The letter did not say it was disinformation. Politico used that in its headline, but not letter.
2) The "laptop" in question was not a "laptop" at all, it was a hard drive and it was not what had been shared with the FBI a year earlier.
