#Mnuchin "Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and the Republicans are preparing to sabotage the country in order to gain political advantage from the destruction they cause." @tomfriedman @NicolleDWallace @SteveSchmidtSES @Forbes @WSJ @SenateDems @SpeakerPelosi @MarkWarner
Just to decode Thune’s remarks for you: “Spending” means cutting spending, “entitlement reform” means cuts to programs such as food stamps & Medicaid, and “growth & the economy” means hampering growth and sabotaging the economy. @SenateDems @johnthune @JoeBiden @WSJ @Forbes
By attacking America's economy, they take food off families’ tables, force cutbacks in state & local services, punish small businesses & create a vicious cycle of austerity & anemic recovery in the rest of the country, hoping Americans blame Biden for all of it. @SpeakerPelosi

Specifically Trump preferred sending no assistance to Ukraine until officials had turned over all materials they had about the Russia inv’n related to Biden & supporters of HRC in Ukraine,
Trump was at odds with his senior national security officials

Per Bolton, Pompeo & Esper joined him in pressing Trump to release the aid in the weeks leading up to the Aug meeting.
Bolton says he talked to Barr & Pompeo abt Giuliani.
Pompeo admitted to Bolton last spring that Giuliani’s claims abt Yovanovitch, had no basis.

@GretaThunberg argues for dropping investments in fossil fuel companies. Indeed, according to GoFossilFree.org, in the past 10 years, over 1,070 institutions in over 30 countries with total assets of around $8.8 trillion have divested themselves ...
of such investments. More than 300 faculty at Harvard have urged the university to divest itself of fossil fuel investments. U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven #Mnuchin responded to Thunberg's advocacy by questioning her economic cred and saying she should stay silent ...
until after she's gone to college. Pretty sure @GretaThunberg is demonstrating that her knowledge of the facts, science, will of the people, and what $8.8T of asset holders believe is far superior to the uneducated views of Trump and Mnuchin.

#perspective 2018's first 12 days have been a rollercoaster of Trumpian reactive oxygen-sucking media cycles, ranging from the "i got a bigger nuke button" to @MichaelWolffNYC s Fire&Fury to the shithole controversy, to finish w/ Stormy Daniels 1/
