@pjux Well everyone is insured up to 250K. That should cover most small businesses. But if we bail out SVB we are once again privatizing profits and socializing risk. — PolitiTweet.org

This is big. Of course, it’s possible that Trump won’t be indicted. But it’s difficult to understand why the prosecutor would bring in every relevant witness AND offer to let Trump testify if he wasn’t moving towards indicting Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

Florida, BTW, has a MASSIVE teacher shortage. Falsely accusing them of providing pornography to elementary school students and threatening them with felony charges is probably not helping. https://t.co/CTuqkpu2tS — PolitiTweet.org

Here is a an example of a book deemed "pornography" in Duval County, Florida. No sexual content whatsoever. It just has two LGBTQ characters. https://t.co/CYllff9374 — PolitiTweet.org

The questions is why are DeSantis and self-described members of his "army" like Rufo smearing teachers — people who have devoted their lives to helping kids — by pretending they are trying to provide pornography to elementary school students. They absolutely are not. — PolitiTweet.org

“Many commentators have claimed that a recently updated Cochrane Review shows that ‘masks don’t work’, which is an inaccurate and misleading interpretation,” Karla Soares-Weiser, the editor in chief of The Cochrane Library, said in a statement. https://t.co/wbmjS3qVFH — PolitiTweet.org

So Trump allegedly: 1. Falsified business records to conceal his reimbursement of the payment to Michael Cohen (a crime), 2. Failed to report the 130K as an expenditure to benefit his campaign (also a crime) — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

In the closing days of a presidential campaign, Trump funneled 130K to Stormy Daniels to keep her allegations of an affair quiet. He didn’t want Daniel’s allegations to interfere with his campaign But he also didn’t want anyone to know about the payment — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

The NYT says potential charges against Trump are based on a “risky legal theory involving a complex interplay of laws” IMO, it’s not that complex — PolitiTweet.org

“The Manhattan district attorney’s office recently signaled to Donald J. Trump’s lawyers that he could face criminal charges for his role in the payment of hush money to a porn star” https://t.co/J8D34g7Jzn — PolitiTweet.org

Burglary is sometimes prosecuted as a violent crime but, by definition, does not involve violence or threats of violence against PEOPLE. That's why, when local police or the FBI report statistics, it is included as a property crime. — PolitiTweet.org

11. Carlson did not mention that he believed Lindell's claims about Dominion were "shockingly reckless." Instead, Carlson replied, "I totally agree." https://t.co/hmsY3kkwJ7 — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

10. A couple of months later, on January 26, 2021, Carlson hosted MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, who had spent months pushing false and unsubstantiated claims about Dominion. Lindell claimed he was being unfairly targeted by Dominion but would "not back down." https://t.co/jbSUXmqtf9 — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

9. In a November 21, 2020 text message, Carlson said that allegations that Dominion rigged its election machines against Trump was "shockingly reckless" because there is no evidence to support it. — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

8. In other words, Carlson spent the program telling viewers that criticism of Trump skipping the inauguration was unwarranted and overblown. But Carlson actually believed that Trump's decision to skip the inauguration was a "destructive" and "disgusting" mistake. — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

@TuckerCarlson 7. Instead, he mocked Acosta for wearing a mask and called Acosta's comments "performance art" and "very tiresome." https://t.co/hmsY3kkwJ7 — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

@TuckerCarlson 6. But on January 20, 2021, the day of Biden's inauguration, Carlson played a clip of CNN's Jim Acosta, who noted the significance of Trump skipping the event. Carlson did not say he agreed with Acosta that Trump's decision to skip the inauguration was significant. — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

@TuckerCarlson 5. On January 10, 2021, Carlson texted a member of his staff who told Carlson about Trump's decision to skip Biden's inauguration. "I’d heard that about the inauguration. Hard to believe. So destructive," Carlson wrote. "It’s disgusting. I’m trying to look away." — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

@TuckerCarlson 4. Trump, Carlson said, appreciated the working class and was grateful for their support. "You'd be grateful for it too if everyone else hated you," Carlson added. He did not mention that he was one of the people who "passionately" hated Trump. https://t.co/hmsY3kkwJ7 — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

@TuckerCarlson 3. But on the January 7, 2021 edition of his Fox News program, Carlson trashed people who harbored "hatred" of Trump, saying they were "socially anxious white professionals" who loathe the working-class. https://t.co/DxDbiRTe6D — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

@TuckerCarlson 2. In a January 4, 2021 text to two members of his staff, Carlson said he "truly can’t wait" for Trump to leave office because "I hate him passionately." In a January 7, 2021 text to his producer, Alex Pfeiffer, Carlson called Trump a "demonic force" and "a destroyer." — PolitiTweet.org

1. Let's take a detailed look at @TuckerCarlson's private text messages, revealed as part of Dominion's lawsuit, and compare them to what he was telling millions of people on Fox News every night It's not news. It's not even opinion. It's a con. — PolitiTweet.org
