SEN. WARREN: "They cut taxes and they always say ‘it's really going to pay off for you’ — every time academics come back say ‘What really happened is the richest people got richer and everybody else got left behind.’.. this is the 20.0 version of this.” (H/T @atrupar.com )

If Jack Smith was really up to no good and secretly colluding with Fani Willis in Atlanta, I doubt he would risk being seen in public at a big sporting event while there. It's not very smart to assume Smith would take such a careless risk.

During The Carboniferous Period c. 359 to 299 million years ago, the terrestrial Earth was vastly-covered in dense, bog-like forested wetlands. The modern bogs largely-formed within the last 15,000 years, as melting glaciers left behind poorly-drained geological depressions...

So the next time you feel stuck, remember: bogs do it best, and they are saving the world because of it. Did you know bogs were this powerful? Drop me a 💚 if you’re ready to defend our wetlands! /fin

They force you to slow down: In life, we hate the feeling of being "bogged down" or stuck. But nature uses these spaces to slow things down, store energy, and protect the planet. Sometimes, hitting pause and sinking into the mess is exactly where the magic happens. 4/

They are ancient time capsules: Because of their unique, oxygen-free chemistry, bogs preserve history. They hold onto everything from ancient Iron Age tools and treasures to thousands of years of ecological data, perfectly preserved in time. 3/

Here is why getting "bogged down" is actually a superpower: They are climate heroes: Peatlands cover only 3% of the earth's land but store more carbon than all the world's forest biomass combined. Keeping them intact is one of our best defenses against climate change. 2/

It's one thing to be so incredibly incompetent as Eric Schmitt that your dramatic "GOTCHA" moment falls apart in real time. It is quite another thing to be so incredibly dishonest as Eric Schmitt that you then go on a right-wing show and pretend it didn't happen. "My job is to ask the questions."😜

The same idiots who think Trump, who dodged the draft five times, knows how to win a war also think Trump, who declared bankruptcy six times, knows how to run the economy. That's what Trump Derangement Syndrome actually looks like.

What Jack Smith said today should be on the cover of every newspaper worldwide. It should be the end of Trump. Unfortunately it’s just a Tuesday in the upside down. And like so many other things that should’ve been the end of him, it barely registers at home let alone abroad.
