So, I was washing dishes when my DVR of Deadline Whitehouse ended and #Hardball, a show I hate came on. The topic was Buttigieg and it was such terrible coverage. In awe of Buttigieg growth. Anyway, Matthews voiced appropriate disdain for Buttligieg - 8000 VOTES?
He wants to know why he's doing so well, but then Cornell Belcher called him "anti-establishment", huh? Then the discussion went to why so little Black support. Video of Rep Anthony Brown, the same if Black voters only knew more. So Matthews wants to make the homophobe argument
Cornell says he has trouble with Black voters in his own town. In his city! But get specific, tell them why Black people don't trust him. No one says, just an insinuation about his being gay from Matthews. Then he says the more we talk, the more it helps Bernie
BREAKING: We FINALLY have our first fact witness in the Mueller hearings, kids! WaPo is reporting that Hope Hicks, Trump's former campaign aide and WH Comms Director will testify in closed session before House Judiciary next week! #WednesdayWisdom washingtonpost.com/politics/forme…
2-"The testimony will occur behind closed doors, said the individuals, but a transcript will be released to the public. A member of the White House Counsel’s Office will be present for the testimony as part of the deal between Hicks and the committee, according to an
3-"individual familiar with the planning who spoke on the condition of anonymity to freely describe the arrangements...Hicks is one of five aides formally subpoenaed by the committee — which is probing the obstruction question, among other issues." ~WaPo
1. @lawrence @maddow Donald Trump is intentionally exciting violence against women's health providers.
Trump's base is made up of Nazis & clinic bombers. What Dems have to do is not let @SenateGOP @HouseGOP pretend Trump is not them. They're complicit & should

2. become focus of our political might. Put every 2020 @SenateGOP seat in play. @TheDemocrats need to get somebody teed up in every red state. In GOP safe states, Dems perhaps shouldn't wait for a primary. I'd have no problem letting committees run somebody. Can we @TomPerez?
3. GOP is going to have trouble raising money. If we get busy we can increase the financial burden on all safe GOP seats & burn resources for the 13 of 21 that are already in play. Goal is Kochs fearing filibuster proof Dem POTUS & Dem House. @SenSchumer @SpeakerPelosi
Listen, political relationships can be difficult. Jimmy Carter admires @HillaryClinton and the feeling is mutual.
In the late seventies Carter appointed Clinton to lead the Legal Services Corp, and under her leadership the agency flourished.
He knows her ability.

Over the last few years Carter has made some awkward comments about Clinton that he's had to clarify & even backtrack on. He is also in his mid 90s and recently survived brain cancer.
@ChrisMatthewsDJ was doing what he has always done (and the rest of the world with him).

And that is taking a moment, removing context, and then using that moment to define @HillaryClinton in the negative.
First, they were at a funeral. Decorum and respectfulness notwithstanding, such moments hardly lend themselves to open displays of conversation.

Many moons ago (2009), the Program I worked prohibited the use of Facebook if you had an active security clearance.

Members of the program were upset because they couldn't use Facebook like normal folks, which was the #1 INFO Xchange platform.
