Once again @realDonaldTrump misuses his executive power with no good or rational reason for these pardons.
.@realDonaldTrump's abuse of the pardon power is a grave threat to America. Yet it was only just a few weeks ago when the @HouseGOP voted along party lines to block our efforts to impose proper oversight. bit.ly/2xVJ3kD.
.@realDonaldTrump nominated #BrettKavanaugh, someone who could rule that @POTUS can pardon himself and/or can't be indicted. No one is above the law and if Trump thwarts Russia investigation with pardons, we might never recover. Our op-ed w/ @BillPascrell: usat.ly/2toMScD

BREAKING: New @OversightDems report shows how Californians could be impacted by the Trump Administration’s unwillingness to defend people with pre-existing conditions.

SPOILER ALERT: It’s terrible news for A LOT of Californians. More on the report here: bit.ly/2ynhL4v.
In California, if the Trump Administration is successful in its attempts to roll back Affordable Care Act protections, as many as 1,321,000 people could lose federal protections against coverage denials or premium increases, including as many as 78,000 people in #CA33 alone.
If President Trump and Republicans succeed in rolling back pre-existing condition protections, 50,000 #CA33 constituents with pre-existing health conditions are at risk of coverage loss or premium increases. #ProtectOurCare

.@POTUS’s expectations haven’t often met reality during his first 500 days in office. The #GOPTaxScam is a prime example of why his presidency has been #500DaysOfBummer
President Trump has spent 1/5 of his days in office at a golf course. That's probably great for his stroke, but not so great for the American public. #500DaysOfBummer
Who is paying for the wall?

Mexico? 🙅‍♀️

American taxpayers? 🙅‍♀️

The U.S. Military? 🙅‍♀️

The culture of corruption in the Trump Admin must stop. Today @RepTedLieu will be on the House Floor at 10AM PT/1 PM ET calling for a vote on the SWAMP FLYERS Act, a bill to stop Admin officials from using taxpayer funds for private air travel. Watch here: houselive.gov
Wondering just what the #Trump Administration’s #CultureOfCorruption has cost American taxpayers? Here’s an incomplete list: goo.gl/XtpZRz.
Thank you @RepRubenGallego @RepRaskin @RepJayapal @RepLawrence @RepTimRyan @NydiaVelazquez @EleanorNorton @RepGraceMeng @RepBarragan @RepHanabusa @RepJackyRosen @RepJimmyGomez for cosponsoring the SWAMP FLYERS Act! Urge other colleagues to support HR 3876: bit.ly/2HqDuPj

The Suffocation of Democracy

By: Christopher R. Browning

THREAD✔
1/
As a historian specializing in the #Holocaust, #Nazi Germany, and #Europe in the era of the world wars, I have been repeatedly asked about the degree to which the current situation in the United States resembles the interwar period and the rise of #fascism in Europe.
2/
I would note several troubling similarities and one important but equally troubling difference.

In the 1920s, the US pursued #isolationism in foreign #policy and rejected participation in international organizations like the League of Nations.

Thread: On John S. McCain III, Deceased

1. Well, we’ve been “knee-deep in the hoopla” (apologies to Starship) of the deceased Sen. McCain for the last couple of days, haven’t we? The Democrats and the Left have turned themselves into pretzels praising him.
2. Do they honestly think we’ve forgotten their rabid accusations of warmongering and racism against McCain when he was running against their little tin god Obama in 2008? How low can you go when it suits your situational politics, Rep. Lewis?
politico.com/blogs/jonathan…
3. In their crocodile tears and false praise of McCain since his death, the Democrats are showing once again that they basically think that the only good Republican is a dead one. This pretty much turns my stomach:

It’s Sunday & I’m tired of ignoring the weird glut of @OrdainLDSWomen articles on this site (that I made, btw) bent on undercutting my founding of the movement. It’s gross. It’s anti-feminist & ... turns, and stares into the camera... I have a word to say concerning these people:
Saddle up cowfolk, this is going to be a long thread.

Please read the entire thing before you chime in.

It's Sunday & if you're not in church, you have time. If you're IN church, you DEFINITELY have time. ;)
After-the-fact posturing to pretend I'm NOT the founder of OW is just odd... & also sad. Some continue to publish cheap shots in hopes of changing the record over time & insert into history that I'm **not** the **actual** founder of OW. It's a strange counter-narrative TBH.

He wakes up once again to an empty room. He looks for his phone which he finds at the dresser with his car key. His shoes neatly arranged next to the closet and curtains drawn.

He checks the bathroom but there is no sign of the younger.

Failing to have his call picked up,
he sends a text and starts to feel anxious.

Did Kyungsoo run away?

He opens the closet and finds their bags with their wallets inside. It means the other only has his phone with him.

And he's not answering any calls and texts.

He's seriously getting worried.
If before, he could contact his cousin and ask of his whereabouts, right now he doesn't have anyone to turn to.

Just then the door opens, revealing a drenched Kyungsoo. The younger just stands there, at the doorway with a bashful smile.

"What happened to you? Why are you wet?"

I am embarking on rewatching all MCU movies in order, ready for Infinity War. Prepare for me to once again begrudgingly acknowledge Cap 1 is actually a good movie. I will attempt to keep live tweeting to a minimum but cannot promise anything.
