NEW: Clarence Thomas took secret unreported trips to Russia aboard a yacht and to one of Putin’s palaces — in 2003. That feels important somehow. Maybe — hear me out here — just maybe, we should launch a full and thorough investigation into Thomas and his Kremlin connection.

BREAKING: AOC files articles of impeachment against Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas. Alito took over $170,000 in secret unreported gifts - and should be impeached. Thomas took over $4,000,000 in secret unreported gifts - and should be impeached. Finally, someone with COURAGE.

The people who are calling for Biden to drop out are NOT the people who will suffer if Trump comes back in.

I am absolutely DONE listening to a bunch of rich establishment media figures telling the rest of us what to do. These elites are selling us out -- and they can fly away to their homes overseas if Trump seizes power. Biden is OUR nominee -- and he's going to WIN.

The questions any REAL journalist should ask of any Democratic-leaning public figure now opposing Biden: Are you working with any other potential candidate for the Democratic nomination? Have you pledged your support? Are you slated to fundraise for them? Are they paying you?

Fun fact -- Donald Trump was the first president since the Great Depression to have NEGATIVE job creation during his presidency.

This is very tough to say. You’ve served us well for many years. But you’re really old now. And lately you’ve said things that don’t make sense or were just wrong. So for the good of the country, it’s time to quit and pass the torch. This is a tweet about the New York Times.

Greg Abbott and Dan Patrick are DELAYING federal aid to Texas for Hurricane Beryl — because Abbott left the country just as the storm hit Joe Biden personally called the Houston Chronicle newspaper to try to track down Abbott. THAT is how dysfunctional Texas Republicans are.

If Donald Trump indeed raped multiple minors and then paid them off with hush money and settlement agreements — where are these victims now? Will any of them come forward? Could any of them tell their stories via a lawyer or a journalist, so their identities are protected?

One guy is old. The other guy is an old lying pedophile philandering racist rapist, convicted of 34 felonies, liable for $464 million of business fraud, who ripped off thousands of people, stole top secret US military documents, and tried to violently overthrow the government.

FACT: Donald Trump is in Jeffrey Epstein's newly released appointment logs. FACT: Donald Trump was sued by a woman who claims she was RAPED by Trump when she was a 12-year-old Epstein captive -- but the suit was dropped, 4 DAYS before the 2016 election, because of death threats.

Our old institutions are crumbling with cowardice. The courts, the media, Congress -- they fear angering Trump or appearing biased against him, in case he wins. And in doing so, they make it more likely he wins. WE MUST RISE UP -- we are the only hope left.

Rudy Giuliani disbarred permanently by state of New York. Yes, you get disbarred for telling LIES to courts. Repeatedly. Trump LOST the 2020 election, fair and square. Claims of fraud were false. And now Rudy is finally starting to pay the price for those lies.

The only reason Trump didn’t execute or murder people while president is because people told him he couldn’t. The Supreme Court just told him he can.

What if Biden used his official powers to have the IRS, FBI, and DOJ investigate the Supreme Court justices to find out every penny they’ve ever taken from anyone, ever? Enforcing corruption laws is under his authority. And you can’t question his motive at all.

If the DC J6 case against Trump will now not go to trial until 2025, if ever — then Jack Smith should now unleash the rest of his indictments against Trump’s co-conspirators. Including his co-conspirators in Congress.

Small government. Original intent. Limited federal power. That’s what right-wingers said they wanted, my entire life. Bullshit. Bullshit. Bullshit. They want to control EVERYTHING, centrally run by a dictatorial president immune from prosecution. And it’s 100% un-American.

The Supreme Court ruled that evidence of “official acts” cannot be admitted at a trial on the “unofficial acts.” But that does NOT preclude such evidence from consideration in the proceeding to determine whether the acts were official. All the evidence is about to come out.

Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito should not have been part of the Trump immunity case. They were legally required under federal law to RECUSE themselves -- Thomas because his wife is implicated in January 6, and Alito because his bias was clearly displayed via his flagpoles.

Biden's next act with his new presidential immunity: Create 4 new seats on the Supreme Court, by executive order. He can add a binding ethics code as well. And a special counsel to investigate corruption on SCOTUS while he's at it.

The Supreme Court did not only pervert and distort the Constitution today -- they partially undid the Declaration of Independence as well. The ENTIRE POINT of independence was to separate from a king who was above the law. And now we just voluntarily put one back into place.

WE THE PEOPLE are the ones who will have to take down Trump.
Not the courts - they've been corrupted.
Not the media - they're desperate for access and cash.
Not the prosecutors - the courts are stopping them from doing their jobs.
Us, together, this November.

Things Trump did that were NOT "official acts": - inciting the mob on J6 - activating fake electors - bullying Pence into exceeding his authority - trying to get DOJ to make false claims of election fraud - leading a conspiracy to keep himself in office after he KNEW he lost

Every single thing Trump did from before the 2020 election to the aftermath of J6 now needs to be scrutinized. Was it an "official act"? Or was it the act of a candidate or private citizen?

Donald Trump needs to be careful what he wished for -- the Supreme Court's decision now means Judge Chutkan will hold proceedings on whether Trump's actions were "official acts" of the presidency. This could be a trial before the trial, potentially RUINING Trump politically.

Donald Trump ADMITTED talking to Vladimir Putin about his planned invasion of Ukraine BEFORE it happened. Does this mean Trump was communicating with Putin in 2021-22, after Trump had left the White House? What did Trump say? And were any documents transmitted?

One guy is already in the job. He’s old, he’s slower, but by every measure he’s crushing it. The other guy is reapplying for the job after he was fired from it — and then led a conspiracy and incited a mob to attack the building so he could try to keep his job. Choose wisely.

In 1984, Ronald Reagan had a bad first debate, and people questioned his age. He bounced back, performed better, and turned a close race into a landslide re-election win on the strength of the economy and his position as a tough fighter against the Kremlin. Sound familiar?
