Crowd filling in for the first @ewarren stop in Iowa since she announced presidential exploratory committee.
We’ve hit capacity with more than half hour til start. Folks gathering out in the cold to try and listen
And sure enough Warren briefly addressed the crowd outside apologizing that there wasn’t room

Happening now: @NicolleDWallace interviews @Comey at @92Y
Is @realDonaldTrump an un-indicted co-conspirator?

Comey: "If he’s not there he’s certainly close."
. @NicolleDWallace: What would be happening to someone like Trump if he wasn't president.

@Comey: That person would be in serious jeopardy of being charged. The government wouldn’t make that sponsoring allegation if they weren’t seriously considering going forward.

Seeing a version of this a lot today - that Biden allegedly called Trump supporters "dregs of society."

newsweek.com/donald-trump-j…

I was at the speech. That's not what he said.
He in fact never used the term "Trump supporters," but "forces of intolerance" - specifying that they were a small minority of the country. Referred to those marching in Charlottesville as an example
So seems what is happening here then, strangely, is that outlets on the right and Trump allies are the ones equating "forces of intolerance" with "Trump supporters"

The Reichstag Warning ⚠️⚠️⚠️

By @TimothyDSnyder

On February 27, 1933 the German Parliament building burned, Adolf #Hitler rejoiced, and the #Nazi era began.
1/
#Hitler, who had just been named head of a #government that was legally formed after the democratic #elections of the previous November, seized the opportunity to change the system. “There will be no mercy now,” he exulted. “Anyone standing in our way will be cut down.”
2/
The next day, at Hitler’s advice and urging, the #German #president issued a decree “for the protection of the people and the state.”

I see @BarackObama not only throwing his weight behind candidates who could use the endorsement, but also backing a mix of people that look like the America that his successor alternatively resists, scapegoats, victimizes, and ignores. It is a statement. n.pr/2OBZBlR
I am curious to see whom Obama endorses next, however. Though @Ocasio2018 would surely accept his backing, she doesn’t need it to win. It is about who needs him. Would he help a @BenJealous, or an @AbdulElSayed? Or even a primary candidate like @AyannaPressley or @MahlonMitchell?
It matters that @BarackObama included @staceyabrams in his first wave of endorsements. It may seem now like an easy choice. But she is facing some stark realities in Georgia. I wrote about how she is confronting them in the August issue of @RollingStone. rol.st/2Oajgck

Huge news. Stone story sheds light on June 2016 Trump Tower Meeting. The campaign knew there was a big price for dirt on Clinton. So, the "I love it" info promised by the Russian-linked lawyer also appears to be a " a thing of value" that Don Jr. agreed to meet to receive.

1/
We have debated whether opposition research provided by a foreign national to a political campaign constitute “a thing of value” for purposes of the Federal Election Campaign Act and thus form the basis of a federal criminal offense.

2/
The answer to that question has legal implications of key activities including
June 2016 meeting in Trump Tower between campaign officials and Russian nationals

On the occasion of Vaikunta Ekadashi sharing a detailed #WalkToTemple thread on one of the most significant Shri Vaishnava Kshetrams, the Cheluvanarayana Swamy & Yoga Narasimha Swamy temples at Melukote, Karnataka.
This is the entrance to the Cheluvanarayana Swamy temple. The main temple itself dates back to the pre-Hoysala era & enjoyed the patronage of later rulers of Vijayanagara empire & the Mysore Wadiyars. Shri Ramanujacharya spend a significant amount of time here. #WalkToTemple
The Gopuram is in the typical Hoysala/Vijayanagara style, featuring the Kirtimukha at the very top & the "Sala" or the fighting lion at various tiers, the Sala was the royal emblem of the Hoysalas, who were Vaishnavites. #WalkToTemple
