As I first reported on Monday, Katie Zacharia is not a lawyer and has never been licensed to practice law. The WSJ reports that she took the California Bar Exam but failed. Nevertheless, Zacharia appeared on media programs for YEARS and repeatedly called herself a lawyer. Here's a super cut:

Zelenskyy: It's a pity that we are losing a strong partner (..) but not because of us. We can’t be weak. Otherwise, we can’t survive… This is why it’s painful when Trump chooses to be on Russia’s side. This is not the right side of history.

If you are shocked this am that Trump’s government executed a search warrant against a Democratic Member of Congress and ignored a judge’s order then you haven’t been paying attention. Stop saying this isn’t how it works in the US. It is exactly how it works under Trump.

Trump’s plan to save the midterms is…help Russia. The Trump-Vance-Kushner-Witkoff approach to the war has always been weaken Ukraine so they bow down to Putin. It hasn’t worked. With nearly two years of this, Ukraine has shown it can thwart ground offensives and strike Russian oil without US help.

So Trump is rolling out the red carpet for Xi while China arms Iran against us, making gas deals with Putin while Russia attacks Ukraine and fights our allies, and gifting billions in giant bombs to Israel to bomb innocent people in Gaza and Lebanon. Are we great yet? 🤷🏼

The United States is now officially allied with Vladimir Putin and Russia. We will fund Russia’s genocidal war machine in exchange for Putin helping Trump and the Republican Party in the midterms. One of the most shameful and disgusting days in the history of this Republic.

Russian forces deliberately bombed civilian passenger buses in Kramatorsk, Donetsk Oblast, killing 30 people and injuring 18 others. The dead and wounded lay scattered across the streets as emergency medical teams raced to save lives, themselves exposed to the threat of further Russian strikes.
