Back online after working hard all day. Time to take a big sip of coffee from my "The Mets are a team of professional baseball players" mug and check ESPN.com.
Weirdly, having your shortstop pitch didn't help???????????
The Mets are doing so badly that the Nats have scored five runs since ESPN has updated the score on my computer.
the important thing is that everyone tried their best

Looks like Flynn aided three investigations: REDACTED criminal investigation, the Mueller probe and REDACTED. Even the subject header of the third is redacted in the full document.
A, B and C (though another set of black bars could be C).
No, that's C. Because the first set of redacted subheads is B(ii). That subhead is redacted entirely.

Trump says if they "had protection [guns] inside" the synagogue, "the results would have been much better."
"To see this happening again and again and again, it's just a shame," he says.

He's asked if there's anything that can be done.

"Look at the violence all over the world. The world is violent. The world is a violent world."
Says mass shooters should get the death penalty without having to "wait years and years."

"I think they should very much bring the death penalty into vogue."

That key July 1 calendar entry recorded by Kavanaugh came up by the Republican prosecutor. Despite how it overlapped with Ford's allegations, the prosecutor let him walk away from it. wapo.st/2DCojkR
And after asking that pointed question about the most obvious candidate for bolstering Ford's claims ... the Republicans began asking their own questions.
It's always safer to assume coincidence; clearly Graham (next up) wanted to spit fire. But the timing certainly didn't hurt Kavanaugh.

Who funds the IEA, the TPA, the ASI &co?
You know, the RW 'free trade' thick tanks advocating tax havens, "freedom" (no regulations like workers' rights or environmental protection), no welfare (no tax & no free healthcare).
Basically, "Only the wealthier survive" philosophy?
1/n
*Could it be* that it has something to do with defending their funders' interests?
Today, I'm going to tell you the Thick Tanks' Hydra tale.
Featuring Atlas, huge piles of money, tradition, "free speech", useful idiots and a very clear agenda that Brexit/Trump are a part of.
2/n
Take a seat: It's a long story, with a lot of players, including politicians, pretty ladies squatting your TV, the climate change denial's network, the global fascist movement, Silicon Valley/multiname data-stealing/misusing company & private companies' involved in elections.

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

In all seriousness this seems like a much better slogan than "A Better Deal" ... that's why it has been the ubiquitous tag line of Florida's preeminent personal injury law firm @JohnMorganESQ

#10YearsOfLostInTheMovies begins right now - a 100-day trip through my archive leading to July 16, 2018, the 10th anniversary of my site. I will share 10 posts each day, moving chronologically from 2008 to the present. Hope this provides an interesting way to explore my work.
I will thread the links so you can scroll around, hopefully pretty seamlessly (though of course Twitter is not always great at handling this type of navigation). When there are interesting images to incorporate, I’ll add them in a subsequent tweet.
As a disclaimer I certainly don’t always stand by everything I wrote years or even a decade ago; opinions change and I may also have written something differently than I do now. In various ways I’ve changed over the years though I’m still happy with most what I’ve published.

It took an extraordinarily unsuccessful series of choices, by Republican leaders, to make the Alabama race competitive even *before* the Moore scandal. Let’s review them in choose-your-adventure form.
You’re President-elect Trump. You have to choose an attorney general. Do you:
(1) Reward Jeff Sessions for loyalty, knowing it will prompt a potentially messy special election
(2) Pick one of many non-senators available to the job, at the risk of disappointing your (then-)friend
OK, you chose (1). Now you’re Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley and you have to name a senator. Do you:
(1) Name an uncontroversial placeholder who won’t seek a full term
(2) Name a highly popular and well known politician
(3) Pick the state AG who is currently investigating you
