These indictments could not be clearer. American democracy was the target of a careful, systematic and intentional attack aimed at undermining the bedrock of our democracy: free and open elections without foreign interference
Today’s indictments and Russia’s actions transcend political party and should trouble all Americans and democracies around the world. Russia must be held accountable for their outrageous, unprecedented attacks on our nation
We must bring to bear the full force of U.S. sanctions against #Russia as well as consider their expansion against broader sectors of the Russian economy
Donald Trump must immediately cancel his planned summit with Vladimir #Putin until #Russia demonstrates its willingness to come back into the community of nations that respect the rule of law, legal norms and democratic institutions
Patriotic Americans have defended our democracy against foreign adversaries—and won—since our founding. We can do so again if we all put country ahead of party as we confront Russian aggression in this new generation and on this new battleground

As the daughter of an immigrant and someone who depended on food stamps to survive, I refuse to stay silent as the Trump Admin tries to punish immigrant families by changing the “Public Charge” rule.
When I was a teenager, my dad lost his job, sending our family spiraling into poverty. My father, brother and I soon moved from SE Asia to Hawaii—but my mom was forced to stay back as she wasn’t yet a U.S. citizen
Having a warm meal at night quickly went from being a given to a godsend. I still remember the hours my dad spent walking from payphone to payphone, hoping to find enough spare change for me and my brother to be able to afford the 25-cent school lunch the next day.

Judge Kavanaugh appears to have participated in a dark chapter of our nation’s history during the Bush Admin’s use of torture and cruel, inhumane treatment of prisoners – and he misled the Senate about it when he testified UNDER OATH in 2006.
I wrote to @senjudiciary asking for relevant records from Kavanaugh’s time as a Bush WH staffer to be publicly shared: duckworth.senate.gov/news/press-rel…
@senjudiciary Americans deserve an opportunity to know critical information about a nominee for a lifetime appointment to the highest court in the land, a position where he could reshape their life & potentially weaken our constitutional rights.

My heart is heavy today as I join countless Americans across our country in mourning the loss of one of our nation’s greatest leaders and statesmen, one of my personal heroes, @SenJohnMcCain.
Throughout his life – as a Naval Aviator, a Prisoner of War who endured years of torture, a Congressman, and a six-term Senator – John repeatedly showed how anything is possible when armed with determination, a deep sense of patriotism and an unbreakable will.
His refusal to give up in the face of adversity inspired me when I was a mission-less helicopter pilot with no legs recovering at Walter Reed. In fact, I met him there for the first time when he visited us Wounded Warriors.

Alright, I've blistered through the entire Fusion GPS transcript. All 300+ pages of it.

No matter how this thread turns out, just remember: it was better than reading that maddening tome from end to end.

Grab a beverage... and off we go.

First, a disclaimer: I'm going full stream o' consciousness here so be gentle in your critiques.

Light pinching is okay. Open-handed smacking is frowned upon...

...and, oh, there will be typos.

So, as quick setup, "The Transcript" is the full stenography of an epic 10-hour long testimony given by Glenn Simpson, founder of Fusion GPS, to select members of the Senate committee "investigating" Trump-Russia.

VIETNAM, 1954-1973:

“The end result is that people find themselves deeply committed to large-scale war.” —LBJ
After WWII, Japan was forced to leave Indochina. Ho Chi Minh, leading the Communist Party, began a revolutionary movement.
Over a million people gathered to celebrate Vietnam’s independence & issued a Declaration of Independence, drawing inspiration from the U.S.
