Ivanka found a protected Albanian nature preserve from a yacht, the prime minister was on board, and three years later they got a development deal. Now 200,000 Albanians are in the streets for 54 straight days. The Trump family treats sovereign nations like real estate listings.

There is no world in which this is okay.     Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito did not recuse himself from cases involving Trump’s Treasury Department while his own son was secretly working there as a political appointee and attorney. 🧵

NYT reporting that under this ceasefire each ship will pay $2M to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. It was $0 before Trump launched this illegal war. 100-130 ships pass the Strait daily. Trump just gave Iran an extra $100M-$130M per day. Masterful gambit, sir. Impeach and remove this fascist—NOW.
