#DOBvSBP Denis O'Brien's counsel resumed questioning this morning of ex-editor of the Sunday Business Post Ian Kehoe in the High Court.

DOB claims he was defamed in SBP articles on March 15, 2015. SBP deny this.

Articles were about PwC rpt on Ireland's top 22 borrowers in '08
#DOBvSBP Luán Ó Braonáin SC, for DOB, puts to Kehoe that he has given impression the work being done on the PwC report was done with some "secrecy"

IK agrees. Says SBP didn't want it getting out to rival newspapers or Govt/anyone who might seek to injunct publication of articles
#DOBvSBP LOB puts to IK that "no notice" was given to the 22 borrowers named.

IK agrees and also agrees that none of the 22 were asked for comment. He repeats that the SBP didn't want to give the 22 the opportunity to attempt to inject the articles.

(THREAD) BREAKING: CNN says "AG Barr is preparing to announce as early as next week the completion of Mueller's Russia probe—with plans for Barr to submit to Congress soon after a summary of Mueller's confidential report." I unpack the news in this thread. cnn.com/2019/02/20/pol…
1/ The first important thing is to understand that—as NBC has done with a similar report over the last two days—CNN hedged its bets on its report in every way possible:

(a) Barr's actions are merely "preparations."
(b) CNN treats the news as merely an "indication" of the future.
2/

(c) If true, it means Mueller's "nearly" done.
(d) "The precise timing of the announcement is subject to change."
(e) "The scope and contours of what Barr will send to Congress remain unclear."
(f) "Also unclear is how long it'll take Justice to prepare what it will submit."

A @gwupoe scoop: A LT in the US Coast Guard was arrested this week for drug and gun charges. It looked like a run of the mill case until the detention memo filed yesterday. He had a hit list, contacts with white supremacists, guns, and, again, was an Coastie assigned to HQ.
Hint about the importance of the case was in the opening paragraph. “The defendant is a domestic terrorist bent on committing acts dangerous to human life”
LT. Christopher Hasson wrote a draft letter to a well known American neo nazi advocating for a white state.

1. THREAD: I am now POSITIVE that Michael Horowitz has the entire story, and is likely making criminal referrals. I haven't done a thread in a while. Buckle up.
2. In an article I wrote on 1/31/19, I detailed for all of you what I thought the mysterious OIG Summary report released by Horowitz on 1/29 meant. oig.justice.gov/reports/2019/f… This report is VITALLY IMPORTANT.
3. To summarize, the OIG found that AS A RESULT of conduct (likely DIRECTION or ORDERS) from senior level FBI officials, a government contractor engaged in inherent governmental activities- conduct prohibited by the FAR (Federal Acquisition Regulations).

Yesterday we poked at an AA flight that deverted to Nellis AFB on Saturday February 16 “due to weather related delays” as they were low on fuel. There is def more to this story as the media is straight up lying about it.
Note the weather and windspeed at the time: Partly cloudy, Hi 54F, L43F, wind out if the east at 3.45mph.
Also, notice the aircraft did a marshall pattern east of the airport. This is typically done for sequencing or awaiting clearance to land. Likely clearance to Nellis was being worked, and decisions were being made.

THREAD ON WHETHER MUELLER REPORT WILL BE PUBLIC, AND @washingtonpost STORY ABOUT TRUMP HIRING MANY NEW LAWYERS TO ASSERT EXEC PRIVILEGE.

Short Answer: It will be public.
1.The special counsel rules, which I drafted at DOJ 20 years ago, contemplate 2 kinds of reports. One is a report from Mueller to the AG, at the close of his investigation: “a confidential report explaining the prosecution or declination decisions reached by the Special Counsel.”
2. That document is to be confidential. But there is a second, separate reporting requirement, which forces the AG to notify Congress “with an explanation for each action…upon conclusion of the Special Counsel’s investigation, including…

Let me tell you something nice. My dad is in his 80s and in a care home, greatly hampered by Parkinsons. I go to visit him every couple of weeks, fill him in on what’s happening in our lives. Conversation tends to run dry towards the end of an hour.
We sit and watch the birds on the feeder outside his room. His immobility means that his life has shut down to more or less the four walls. A few weeks ago one of the carers organised a poetry session. A handful of residents got together to read out poems.
Many of the people who live there have dementia, so a couple of them dozed through it, but Dad really enjoyed it anyway. He was telling me about it today, it's been a few weeks, and we agreed he should ask for her to do it again. We got around to discussing poetry.

1. A primeira dica para quem ganha um Salário Mínimo é, logo de cara, ganhar mais. O vídeo foge da própria premissa e intui que a pessoa que vive de SM vai passar a ganhar mais e, com isso, conseguir poupar.

Daqui começamos a entender que é uma história construída sem nexo.
Quem vive de Salário Mínimo infelizmente carrega, pelas dificuldades uma série de pequenos problemas na vida e que a adição de 300 reais infelizmente não vai resolver. Contas atrasadas, falta de aparelhos domésticos para baratear o custo de vida (microondas, geladeira e etc.)
Ao menos que você receba um salário mínimo morando na casa dos seus pais ou a renda familiar somada seja maior, as chances são de que qualquer 300 reais somados só sirvam para resolver problemas antigos. Contas atrasadas, manutenção da casa, roupas mais apresentáveis e educação.

As pressure mounts on Facebook to do something about anti-vaxx propaganda, Pinterest demonstrates how a social media platform can take a comprehensive approach to fighting health misinformation theguardian.com/technology/201…
Yesterday, @RepAdamSchiff joined a nascent Twitter meme by searching Facebook for “vaccines” and screencapping the (bad) results
The results, which I wrote about earlier this month, are dominated by anti-vaxx propaganda. theguardian.com/media/2019/feb…

Thanks everyone @UCU_Ulster who made overcoming tech issues possible! Really great questions on REF, #Anticas and #SecureWork, #Workload + academic & academic related & professional staff contracts (#LoveOurARPS!)/1
The stuff that came up about role profiles for academic related+professional staff roles is partially covered here:ucu.org.uk/article/1931/R…
^Academic role profiles+guidance were agreed through JNCHES (AUT days, pre-UCU). ARPS role profiles weren't quite prioritised in same way /2
Who're ARPS? WE ARE LEGION! Working in diverse roles sometimes referred to as professional/services/managerial; in 2004 Framework Agreement as 'Academic Related'. We include library+IT staff, administrators, specialists, student support, counsellors, careers advisors, more! /3

THREAD: Today, our new report on #UKhousing sets out how the quality of UK homes must improve to reduce emissions and ensure they are ready for a changing climate. Read the report here: theccc.org.uk/publication/uk… #Homes #UKClimateAction (1/10) #climatechange
UK homes are not fit for the future. The Climate Change Act requires near-zero greenhouse gas emissions from homes by 2050 but efforts to reduce emissions have stalled. Most homes use fossil fuel heating; <500k have heat pumps or are connected to low-carbon heat networks. (2/10)
Today, 4.5m homes overheat in England, 1.8m people live in areas at significant risk of flooding and water consumption is higher than in other comparable countries. Risks are increasing due to climate change, but measures to adapt homes are not being taken up (3/10) #UKhousing

On January 16, 2017, Joe Biden visited Ukraine as part of his last foreign trip as Vice President.

What was the purpose of this trip (his 5th since 2014), just a mere 3 days before his last day in office?
2\

To find a possible answer, let’s return to 2014.

In February of 2014, protestors took control of Ukraine’s capital, Kiev, in what became known as the Maidan revolution.

The President of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych, fled to Russia.

Today is THURSDAY.
Yesterday was WEDNESDAY.
Wednesday is NEW COMIC BOOK DAY.

All of which means, when put together, that I am now the published author of an X-Men ongoing.
THE AMAZING NIGHTCRAWLER is only five issues long (I almost typed six just there, that's how much I don't want this to be over), but it's still an ongoing. Same creative team, same editor (hi, @chrisrobinson!), same everything for five issues.
Even if Marvel decided tomorrow that I was too me to work with ("me" can mean so many things, from "distracted by novels" to "filled my editor's office with live frogs"), I would still be the author of an X-Men ongoing. And that's amazing.

1.) In my 2012 book “The Great Divergence” I wrote that race didn’t contribute in any direct way to the post-1979 boom in income inequality b/c the gap between white and black incomes hadn’t widened. That conclusion now requires revision. politico.com/newsletters/mo…
2. New evidence (see link in previous) shows that the black-white wage gap has been growing since 2000. It may even have started growing before that. This is horrible news. It was bad enough when we thought no progress had been made in four decades. Now ...
3.) we learn that the wage gap has actually been growing—and that’s corrected for education level, geography, and other non-racial factors. And it’s been growing during a period when the median white worker hadn’t exactly been thriving.

Why @hommer_ich #Spiegel lying piece is #FakeNews?In a gesture of transparency,#NCRI invited @DerSPIEGEL to visit #MEK in Albania frequently visited by politicians &dignitaries including former Bundestag President Rita Sussmuth. but the offer was rejected.
iran-update.com/component/k2/i…
However, @DerSPIEGEL did not reply to #NCRI's invitation. #Spiegel clearly had no inclination of getting to the truth of the matter &instead preferred to accept the regime’s lies at face value. #FakeNews #Spiegel_FakeNews mek-iran.com/2019/02/21/why…
Despite #Spiegel ignoring the invitation,the #NCRI& #MEK replied to the 10questions raised by @mathieuvonrohr in a 6,600-word reply just4days later. In this letter,they again extended an invitation to @DerSPIEGEL&implored them to visit the MEK compound.#FakeNews #Spiegel_FakeNews

The @vahousegop just killed the floor vote, and hence the #ERA, blocking Virginia from becoming the 38th and final state to ratify it and make gender equality part of the US Constitution.

166 million women are affected by the VA GOP's action this morning.

(Thread)
I spoke to a voter yesterday who told me, "We keep voting against people, but we never vote for the people."

His words will stick with me. If an elected official can't act in the interest of 50.8% of the population, that official is not acting for the people.
Here in Virginia, we've gotten it wrong for a long time.

We got it wrong on the Civil War.
We got it wrong on segregation.
We got it wrong on suffrage.
We got it wrong on interracial marriage.
We got it wrong on disallowing women into VMI.
Today, we got it wrong again on #ERA.

A man subpoenaed by Robert Mueller has been sued for racketeering, in a federal lawsuit accusing him of a globe-hopping campaign of a violence, extortion and financial crime across the United States and Turkey.

My latest, at @CourthouseNews courthousenews.com/airline-intrig…
This blockbuster lawsuit intersects with two major criminal cases in the United States: a more than $500 million money laundering scheme charged in Utah and a Turkish influence campaign filed in Virginia.

Here's the 127-page federal complaint: courthousenews.com/wp-content/upl…
The lead defendant is Sezgin Baran Korkmaz, pictured at the top of this story standing in between now-indicted Mormon polygamist leader Jacob Kingston and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Here's @NateCarlisle background on the photo:
