Tennesseans want a wall on our southern border.

Elon Musk passed on the restrictive Board of Directors seat at Twitter. So, it appears now that Elon could be involved in a hostile takeover of Twitter soon. This is getting good!👊

Six months after leaving the White House, Jared Kushner secured a $2 billion investment from a fund led by the Saudi crown prince, a close ally during the Trump administration, despite objections from the fund’s advisers about the merits of the deal. https://t.co/FDlmrzvYdw

Republicans were not “vile” in their treatment of Ketanji Brown Jackson.

Ketanji letting pedophiles off easy is the “vile” part, here.

!!! Friday Night Surprise. Plaintiffs just filed their response to Facebook in my favorite case - what I call the mother of all lawsuits - in Delaware where it's incorporated. It's a tight but absolutely delicious 120 pages so I'll break down the allegations here for you. /1

as background, this is a massive shareholder lawsuit by pension funds including the second largest in existence. It came after funds successfully sued to see Facebook's board-level documents and messages around the $5 billion settlement after a cover-up was exposed. /2

Shareholders are able to sue by claiming a demand to the board was futile. You can be the judge of the allegations but they need to successfully argue a majority of directors received material benefit, faced liability and lacked independence from someone (Zuckerberg). /3

First, let me walk through the claims. Count one is that Zuckerberg, Sandberg and one other executive led allegedly illegal business practices breaking their fiduciary duties. More on that in a minute. /4

Count two is an allegation that the directors breached their duty of loyalty to the company by overpaying the FTC in order to shield one executive (Zuckerberg) who controls the board, company and committees. Again, more on that in a minute. /5

What is your relationship with procrastination?

Here is @Gil_Brandt on NFL radio when asked about Dwayne Haskins.
“He was a guy that was living to be dead.”
“It was always something” with Haskins
“Maybe it he stayed in school a year he wouldn’t do silly things [like] jogging on a highway.”

After closing its stores in Russia, Chanel stopped selling its products to people outside Russia who intended to take them into the country. To protest the move, several Russian influencers and socialites posted Instagram videos showing them cutting up their Chanel handbags. 👜

Guy at Trump rally today in NC says this is his 45th Trump rally, he has spent over $30,000 on travel to them, and is complaining that gas prices are making it too expensive to keep traveling around the country to follow Trump.

@RepSwalwell I think there needs to be more public information about T1 diabetes. The general consensus is that Diabetes is a fat person disease - or it can be controlled by diet - this is not true - this guy is T1…

For a #7HourGap Trump used a #Burner to lead the insurrection he planned. This, from @StandForBetter is exactly what happened.

For #457Minutes in America, on January 6, #TrumpsCoupPlaybook played out before our eyes. Believe what you

BREAKING: THREAD: this is BIG news. A grand jury in DC has issued subpoenas to people with direct ties to donald. Let me break it down for you. For a year, we’ve been waiting to hear whether the DoJ probe into 1/6 would go beyond the “boots on the ground” attack at the Capitol 1/

And though Merrick Garland and Lisa Monaco said on multiple occasions that they will go after everyone at any level and wouldn’t shy away from politically charged probes, none of us had heard a peep about what they were doing (because thems the rules) 2/

Many argued that IF the DoJ was investigating, that we would have heard from witnesses that were called to testify. The counter argument to that was they just hadn’t gotten to the recalcitrant witnesses yet. 3/

We DID hear from one witness a few months back that told the press they were subpoenaed in an investigation into the funding of Sidney Powell’s PACS on the back of the big lie. But that didn’t necessarily tie to donald directly. 4/

And others argued that even though Garland said he’d look at everyone at any level, he didn’t directly say he was investigating BEYOND the day of the Capitol attack. WELL NOW WE HAVE WHAT WE’VE BEEN WAITING FOR 5/

This is the kind of thing that if every voter in Tennessee saw it, it might actually cost her her seat in congress. If you want the voters there to know the truth about their senator, please share far and wide.

Hey everyone while you're here I'd just like to ask that you please support S.2598, a bill that would restore bankruptcy protections for student loan borrowers. Thank you and have a lovely day.

Also shoutout to @American_Bridge, I found this video on Twitter but I think that's their watermark at the top so credit to them for this real journalism and for holding unethical elected officials accountable.

Hey @TwitterSupport I believe that the tweets above have been wrongfully flagged as sensitive content. Is the video above considered sensitive content?

Oleg Deripaska, a key Putin oligarch ally, posted a scathing anti-war commentary on Telegram

It also ripped into Joe Biden's Warsaw speech. Some more details /1

Deripaska accused Biden of falsely framing the Ukraine war as a conflict between NATO and Russian oligarchs

He sarcastically asks, "apparently they planned it. Who? Potanin with Yevtushenkov"

This builds on Medvedev's recent comments that oligarchs did not influence Putin /2

Deripaska described the war as "madness" and said "we will be ashamed for a long time before our descendants"

He also stated that Russia and Ukraine, and the West by proxy, extinguished their hope of diplomacy, and instead created a "hellish ideological mobilization" /3

Deripaska predicted that Russia's war with Ukraine could last a "few more years," as all participants in the conflict (unnamed but presumably Putin, Biden and Zelensky) had elections in 2024

He called this escalation a "crazy turn" and invoked the movie "The Tail Wags the Dog /4

Deripaska's strident tone could have personal motives

Australian sanctions on alumina cut directly into his business, and his Western assets have been frozen

But it illustrates the potential for public Russian oligarch discontent as the war rages on /5

I'll still never understood why we allowed cities to demolish heavily lined retail districts to widen roads. Here's Michigan Ave looking towards downtown. When you remove the places people shop, you kill the area.
