BREAKING: Prosecutors: AMI, National Enquirer's parent company, admitted it made $150,000 Cohen payment “in concert” with “a candidate’s presidential campaign” in order to “ensure that the woman did not publicize damaging allegations about the candidate before" 2016 election.
Prosecutors also say they had reached a non-prosecution agreement with AMI, in connection with its role in making the payment, and AMI admitted “its principal purpose in making the payment was to suppress the woman’s story so as to prevent it from influencing the election.”
The company that publishes the National Enquirer admitted that it paid $150,000 hush money to silence alleged mistresses of then-presidential candidate Donald Trump prior to the 2016 election, prosecutors said Wednesday. nbcnews.to/2QpUSZ8

Former President Obama: "You need to vote because our democracy depends on it."
Former President Obama on President Trump:

"He is a symptom, not the cause. He's just capitalizing on resentments that politicians have been fanning for years."
Former President Obama: "What happened to the Republican party? ... In a healthy democracy, there's some checks and balances on this kind of behavior, this kind of inconsistency. But right now there's nothing."

#Report #Thread
1/5
 This young man is Muhammad Sharif Badwan. He was killed East of #Gaza City at the Karni crossing after being shot in the chest by #IDF gunfire on Friday afternoon. #Israel
2/5
 Many news sites refer to Badwan as either a protestor or a demonstrator who was shot and killed by the #IDF. The photo on the left, from the DailyMail, states Badwan is a protestor. The photo on the right from CGTN states Badwan is a protestor as well.
3/5
 The problem is Badwan wasn’t there to protest in the way most people think. This video was taken Friday afternoon at the Karni crossing where Palestinians were clashing w/ #IDF soldiers. At the end, you can see Badwan being evacuated after getting shot by the #IDF.

1/7 #Report
According to Palestinian reports, at approximately 18:00 hours, an #IDF airstrike struck downtown Gaza City. Two teens were killed as a result of the strike. Reports claimed an empty structure, a children’s park and a mosque were damaged. #Gaza #Israel #Hamas #IDF
2/7
 The children’s park in reality is #Qassam Brigade’s “Battalions Square” and the teens who died were inside the structure circled in red. Beside it is the mosque circled in blue which was damaged by the strike.
3/7
 Why did the #IDF target this site with air strikes? How does the #IDF know this site is used by #Qassam Brigades? Can we just take their word for it? Here is video of the actual strike.

NEW: Native Americans say they should be exempt from Medicaid work requirements. The Trump admin disagrees — an attempt to renegotiate centuries-old protections. politico.com/story/2018/04/…
The Trump administration repeatedly rejected the tribes’ request, arguing that they’re seeking an illegal preference - and that HHS sees them as a “race,” not a separate government. politico.com/story/2018/04/…
Even though the decision was handed down in January, HHS still hasn’t produced the documents explaining why. Didn’t answer POLITICO’s question on this either. politico.com/story/2018/04/…
