Trump was more directly involved than previously known in exploring proposals to use his national security agencies to seize voting machines as he grasped for a way to stay in power. @alanfeuer @maggieNYT @nytmike @lukebroadwater https://t.co/CR1olidX7c — PolitiTweet.org

White House officials have grown so frustrated with Becerra they have mused about who might be better in the job but political considerations have stopped them from taking steps to replace him, per ⁦@ddiamond⁩ ⁦@yabutaleb7⁩ ⁦@tylerpager⁩ https://t.co/VkV0vY2SP7 — PolitiTweet.org

Nearly 1 million more people have died in US since 2020 than normal due mainly to covid--the same proportion of the population that died in World War II but in less time. ⁦@jon_kamp⁩ ⁦@jenniferlevitz⁩ ⁦@Brabbott42⁩ ⁦⁦@poverberg⁩ https://t.co/uvvvmmXTfk — PolitiTweet.org

Recalling that great @anniekarni scoop from 2018 reporting that Trump regularly ripped up official documents, forcing aides to sift through shreds and tape them back together again to comply with federal records law. “Like a jigsaw puzzle.” https://t.co/cmRtOeg4XD — PolitiTweet.org

Think Putin is a conspiracy-minded hardliner? @antontroian takes a look at some of the people around him, who call Ukrainians “nonhumans” and say their leaders as bad as Hitler, and maintain that the West is legalizing marriage between humans and animals. https://t.co/7PizpNtGFc — PolitiTweet.org

Videos, testimonials and interviews with protesters and their family members in Kazakhstan reveal what they say was a ruthless campaign of brutality and intimidation that quickly overpowered a surprising revolt. ⁦@VALERIEin140⁩ https://t.co/jU19xfdHLH — PolitiTweet.org

A court candidate's different perspectives: One uncle was sentenced to life on cocaine charges. Another was Miami's police chief. A third was a sex crimes detective and a brother worked for police undercover. ⁦@PatriciaMazzei⁩ ⁦@charlie_savage⁩ https://t.co/cdxUGbhk9S — PolitiTweet.org

Is Trump hold on GOP slipping? "It’s one that very likely would win a Republican primary today. But is it the same ironclad monolithic Soviet-like attachment that we saw when Donald Trump was the incumbent president? No it is not.” ⁦@ShaneGoldmacher⁩ https://t.co/tbD5hi5cv2 — PolitiTweet.org

Breyer was confirmed 87-to-9 and Scalia without any opposition. But Barrett last year was sent to the court on a strictly party-line vote and Biden's choice may be the first to be decided by a tiebreaking vote cast by the vice president. ⁦@hillhulse⁩ https://t.co/AGmXB0OxiX — PolitiTweet.org

For years, Democrats decried "dark money" financing Republican election efforts. Now they have embraced it themselves and by one analysis have even surpassed Republicans in taking such shadow funding. ⁦@kenvogel⁩ ⁦@ShaneGoldmacher⁩ https://t.co/xA4nTO5Squ — PolitiTweet.org

The eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv may not harbor as much resentment of Russia as other regions but pro-Russian sentiments that once threatened to turn it into another Moscow-backed separatist territory no longer have major sway. ⁦@ikhurshudyan⁩ https://t.co/67yw4ntmGW — PolitiTweet.org

Trump says he would pardon supporters who attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6 to overturn the election: “If I run and if I win, we will treat those people from Jan. 6 fairly. We will treat them fairly. And if it requires pardons we will give them pardons.” https://t.co/5rC2rHFBZw — PolitiTweet.org

Allies split over a Russian invasion. US, UK and some Ukrainian officials are convinced a strike is imminent but Zelensky is not persuaded. Somewhere in the middle are France, Germany and Norway ⁦@shaneharris⁩ ⁦@John_Hudson⁩ ⁦@nakashimae⁩ https://t.co/rc7Xr7A5Zp — PolitiTweet.org

From Belarus, where Russian forces have gathered, it's a fast, 140-mile drive straight to Kyiv on a highway that is mostly freshly paved thanks to efforts by Zelensky to address the poor state of Ukrainian roads. ⁦@mschwirtz⁩ https://t.co/xHE3G6Q1Gj — PolitiTweet.org
