Twitter is at its best when verified accounts can’t tweet

fwiw, node.closest(selector) lets you query up the tree for the first parent that matches.

    for (const node of document.querySelectorAll('[aria-label="Verified account"]')) {
      node.closest('[role="article"]').remove()
    }

Doesn't get the most top-level wrapper, but it also works well with retweets. Doesn't work with verified replies though (removes the verified tweet reply but not the other person's tweet), too lazy to look.

I converted your code into a uBlock Origin filter. For replies, it also only removes the verified reply. I tried to get it to work, but I think that might be impossible with just CSS selectors.

  twitter.com##[role="article"]:has([aria-label="Verified account"])

uBlock Origin supports XPath

    ##:xpath(//*[@role="article"][descendant::*[@aria-label="Verified account"]])

Unfortunately no document.queryXPathAll but is easy to shim [2]. It is great technology, sadly not known.
