@arstechnica I’m sure the greens and cdu will have the fortitude to stand up and say this is on us when they can’t lean on french nuclear any longer and there’s no energy storage in place for solar and wind as an on-demand structural backbone

I don't think Trump even wants to be president again. He knows he wasn't good at it.

I believe he's running primarily in hopes of shutting down the prosecutions against him and avoiding prison or financial ruin as consequences of his own actions.

Clarence Thomas hearing Trump's immunity case, when his wife Ginni was directly involved in efforts to overturn the 2020 election, tells you everything you need to know about the Supreme Court's new code of "ethics."

It's a sham.

@rbreich given no political friction, what would it take to change the law so that thomas can be dismissed for ethics violations?

4 years ago today, Dr. Fauci contradicted Trump's claim that Covid would magically go away before the fall. After that, Fauci was sidelined from public briefings & barred from speaking to press.

During the greatest national crisis of our time, all Trump cared about was his ego
