1/10 There is a false choice being presented whether the Mueller Report means we must proceed with impeachment or that impeachment is off the table. vox.com/policy-and-pol… #muellerreport #impeachment #trump
2/10 For starters, the Mueller Report covers only a portion of Trump's malfeasance (and excludes a dozen matters that were referred elsewhere for potential prosecution). businessinsider.com/mueller-report… #muellerreport #trump
3/10 The Mueller Report only investigated whether Trump conspired with Russia re the 2016 election. There is still a question of Trump's financial entanglements with Russia and whether he is compromised by it. washingtonpost.com/opinions/here-… #trump #MuellerReport #russia
4/10 . . . The same is true with Saudi Arabia. #MuellerReport #Trump #SaudiArabia businessinsider.com/trump-saudi-ar… #trump #MuellerReport #SaudiArabia
5/10 There also are questions about the Emoluments Clause and Trump profiting from the office because of Trump Hotels . . . . #trump #emoluments #MuellerReport vox.com/policy-and-pol…
6/10 . . . and his real estate holdings. forbes.com/sites/danalexa… #trump #emoluments #MuellerReport
7/10 The House is doing the right thing by demanding Trump's tax returns and investigating his finances. This likely will reveal more misdeeds or confirm allegations of bank/wire fraud in inflating assets values. #trump #muellerreport #bankfraud washingtonexaminer.com/news/congress/…
8/10 In addition, there is also the question of Trump instructing staff to violate the law. Already there have been a few examples. More likely will follow. #trump #MuellerReport lawfareblog.com/take-more-care…
9/10 Instead of arguing over impeachment, let's get the facts on the table which may very well make a compelling case for impeachment. #trump #investigations #MuellerReport huffpost.com/entry/house-de…
10/10 In the interim, Democrats should start a drumbeat calling for President Trump to resign just as many called for Clinton to resign after the Starr report. realclearpolitics.com/video/2019/01/… #trump #muellerreport #ResignTrump

Interesting read by #PeterBeinart. I think Warren has had the most substantively interesting campaign so far and it is curious she has not received the attention that goes with that. #ewarren theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
There is a question of whether the media is not giving Warren and the other women candidates fair treatment or attention commensurate with their standing in the polls. fivethirtyeight.com/features/berni… #ewarren #PeterBeinart
Wonky can work - just look at Gary Hart's 1984 campaign. But 8 years later, another Senator from Massachusetts won the wonky primary but ultimately lost to the more charismatic politician who embraced many of his views. #ewarren #PeterBeinart

Former Mayor #mikefeinstein writes in the #smdailypress to defend the #Santamonicacity decision to pay $10M to appeal a verdict that the city's at-large districts violate the California Voting Rights Act. #CVRA smdp.com/santa-monica-c…
What #mikefeinstein doesn't mention is one of the central points of the court's ruling - in 72 years of at-large voting, only 1 Hispanic candidate has been elected to the #Santamonicacity city council despite representing 13.1% of the population. santamonica.gov/Media/Default/…
What #mikefeinstein doesn't mention is the long history of the use of At-large elections in the South to ensure white-only governments or the fact that #Santamonicacity adopted the at-large plan "at a time of significant interracial tension" in Santa Monica.

1/I know folks are nervous or frustrated with calling for #impeachment. Many would prefer to focus on policy, organizing, and GOTV in 2020. I think we can do both. Also saying, 'We just need to vote Trump out' is not going to be as easy as folks think. Why? Voter Suppression.
2/I firmly believe that Trump and members of the GOP have every intention of continuing to suppress the vote in 2020. They've already started. How? Let me count the ways! Let's start in FL. Florida's Amendment 4 expands voting rights to as many as 1.4 million reentrants.
3/ The FLGOP lead House proposee that those with "felony records" need "to fully pay off all pay court fines and fees — including fees that were not imposed by a judge as part of their sentence — before they can regain their voting rights." vox.com/policy-and-pol…

THREAD: Barbara McQuade on @MSNBC re: #MuellerReport: Trump asked individuals within his campaign to find Hillary's emails. Michael Flynn acted on this, including asking GOP operative Peter Smith. 1/5
Peter Smith, "who said he had tried to obtain Hillary Clinton's missing emails from Russian hackers, killed himself in a Minnesota hotel room days after talking to The Wall Street Journal about his efforts, public records show." 2/5 chicagotribune.com/news/local/pol…
The president's son-in-law Jared Kushner brought militarized propaganda firm Cambridge Analytica, founded by Robert Mercer and Steve Bannon, into the Trump campaign. 3/5 vox.com/policy-and-pol…

50 million Facebook profiles harvested for Cambridge Analytica. Psych prof/developer Aleksandr Kogan accessed 270k FB users' data w his app, then collected their friends' data…& sold it all to Trump's data firm which used it to target ads in 2016 election theguardian.com/news/2018/mar/…
FB 2018: "We learned a psychology professor at the University of Cambridge named Dr. Aleksandr Kogan lied to us…by passing data from an app…using Facebook Login to SCL/Cambridge Analytica, a firm that does political, government… military work around the globe." FB knew in 2015
"purpose of Kogan’s work was to develop an algorithm for the 'national profiling capacity of American citizens' as part of SCL’s work on U.S. elections, according to an internal document signed by an SCL employee describing the research"– 3/2017 report theintercept.com/2017/03/30/fac…

#Breaking badaboum de la nuit US. Hier soir, vers 22h, le ministre de la Justice Sessions a licencié #McCabe l'ancien no.2 du #FBI, ennemi juré de #Trump,accusé de faute professionnelle par 1 rapport de l'inspecteur général Horowitz...26h avant sa retraite.washingtonpost.com/world/national…
2)...et #breaking...le président #Trump a qualifié par tweet ce licenciement EXCEPTIONNEL d'1 haut fonctionnaire du FBI comme 1 grand moment pour la démocratie US. Autrement dit il se réjouit du renvoi d'1 fonctionnaire de carrière pour motif politique.
3) Car ce qui est inédit est que le président #Trump a exigé- et obtenu-du ministère de la Justice de #Sessions l'enquête interne sur #McCabe qu'il ne cessait de persécuter sur Twitter et dans ses déclarations publiques depuis qu'il refusa de désavouer Comey auquel il succéda...

(1) THREAD: #RobPorter , #SecurityClearances & SERIOUS #Trump #WhiteHouse PROBLEMS

When did the White House know of the serious domestic abuse concerns regarding Rob Porter, the now fallen White House Staff Secretary?
(2) This question is crucial to determining whether those in the White House deliberately ignored security warnings and instead politically decided to retain Porter.
(3) As I told @JudyWoodruff on @NewsHour tonight there were at least 3-4 opportunities where WH had enough info to realize there were serious problems w/Porter obtaining a clearance and they could have, and perhaps should have, taken action. pbs.org/newshour/show/….

re-#breaking Le journaliste politique vedette du @nytimes Glenn Thrush est accusé d'inconduite sexuelle par de jeunes #journalistes interviewées par Vox. Il célébrait pourant son soutien aux jeunes femmes journalistes après l'affaire Halperin...vox.com/policy-and-pol…
2) Et le @nytimes a suspendu immédiatement Thrush le temps d'1 enquête interne. La grande lessive post- #Weinstein continue. Vous pouvez parier sur 1 tweet de #Trump. Il entretien avec Thrush et Haberman, sa partenaire de plume au Times, 1 lien fascination-répulsion.
3) #Breaking La réaction du @nytimes est sèche et nette contre #Thrush son journaliste vedette. A la hauteur de l'usage politique que #Trump ne manquera d'en faire contre ce "journal fake news d'élites dévoyées"...RT+
