Well this is just....perfect. Trump’s munchkins on the lookout for government officials who might contradict, even inadvertently, his most ignorant views, by @eilperin @jdawsey1 & @brady_dennis
Follow-up on this week’s Climate-Gagging story by @LFFriedman. She’s got documents! A thread.
For the record: UT-Austin professor @busbyj2 has a long thread on what a State Dept Intelligence expert wanted to say to Congress about #climatechange & national security, and what Trumpers on the National Security Council wanted him not to.

Thoughts on @SpeakerPelosi argument against impeachment by @qjurecic. Jurecic speaks to the substance of whether impeachment proceedings are merited. She’s not wrong. And the political argument against impeachment doesn’t make sense either.
Jurecic’s @lawfareblog associate @marty_lederman tries to articulate this argument; it boils down to the risk that an impeachment in the House would be rejected summarily by Republicans in the Senate, Trump would be vindicated, & there’d be a substantial risk he’d be re-elected.
Really? Let’s get out of the way the obvious: there are unknowns in an impeachment proceeding. There are also unknowns in a 2020 campaign if impeachment never happens. Why could Trump not claim triumphant vindication if Democrats shrink from impeachment?

Gerrymandering thread by @mcpli of @nyulaw. The Supreme Court will rule on partisan gerrymandering cases within weeks. Li tries to predict its direction, & suggests a split ruling as a strong possibility. Court would be writing, he says, on a “blank slate.” 1/3
2/3. It hasn’t ruled on constitutionality of partisan (as opposed to racial) gerrymandering before. With no Court precedent and complicated issues, outcome is hard to predict. But....when Roberts Court majorities of GOP-appointed Justices have ruled on cases affecting...
3/3....the Republican Party’s electoral position, they have generally taken the GOP’s interests into account, going back to Shelby County and Citizens United and continuing w/more recent rulings like Janus. That’s not cynicism; that’s the record.

Time lapse video of Hong Kong protests against extending the Chinese police state to the territory, by @stilltalkin
That sure is a lot of people. Thread on #Hongkongprotest by @HongKongFP reporter @holmeschan_
Important point by @AsiaMTI director @GregPoling — the police state founded by Mao is not the only possible future for China, but a better one depends on international support for free expression such as #Hongkongprotest today.

💰Trump=RUagent💰

"Trump has weakened NATO, given Russia an increasingly free hand in Syria, minimized sanctions against Russian actors, questioned America’s commitment to protecting Eastern Europe from Russian aggression and defended Putin on the world stage."
💰T=RUagent2💰

RU attacked us. The MR still doesn’t give us the full story.

If not for significant political resistance, he may have provided sanctions relief, recognized RU’s seizure of Crimea, returned RU diplomatic residences & weakened the enforcement of the Magnitsky Act.
💰T=RUagent3💰

📌Trump gained an ally in Putin in his effort to damage HRC, benefited from Russian disinfo, & explored personal financial rewards.

📌Trump clearly crossed a line and can be objectively labeled an agent of a foreign power in the standard definition of the word.

Who funds the IEA, the TPA, the ASI &co?
You know, the RW 'free trade' thick tanks advocating tax havens, "freedom" (no regulations like workers' rights or environmental protection), no welfare (no tax & no free healthcare).
Basically, "Only the wealthier survive" philosophy?
1/n
*Could it be* that it has something to do with defending their funders' interests?
Today, I'm going to tell you the Thick Tanks' Hydra tale.
Featuring Atlas, huge piles of money, tradition, "free speech", useful idiots and a very clear agenda that Brexit/Trump are a part of.
2/n
Take a seat: It's a long story, with a lot of players, including politicians, pretty ladies squatting your TV, the climate change denial's network, the global fascist movement, Silicon Valley/multiname data-stealing/misusing company & private companies' involved in elections.
3/n

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
