Excited to hear about how Trump is making us less safe every single day. #NN18 @_ElizabethRB @SPMiles42 @wardahkhalid_ @Jenkinsbd @manaro_77 #TrumpThreatLevel
"Donald Trump in and of himself is a national security threat." @SPMiles42 #TrumpThreatLevel
"Trump administration advancing fear-based agenda against immigrants, Muslims, LGBTQ, women, people with disabilities..." @manaro_77 #NN18
"Calling the Muslim Ban a 'Travel Ban' is a whitewashing of history and minimizes communities affected by it." @manaro_77 #TrumpThreatLevel
"The leadership role of the US has been eroded under Trump. We're losing our international standing. We're losing our ideals. The administration has never really understood that." @Jenkinsbd
"Policies of racism and bigotry existed before Trump. Now it's just out in the open." @wardahkhalid_

1/8. As another hurricane inches closer to our shores, we've recently learned that the Trump Administration diverted $10M from FEMA so that it can hold more immigrant families in cages. #familiesbelongtogetherANDFREE washingtonpost.com/news/morning-m…
2. This is a big deal and signals what the Trump Admin cares -- and doesn't care -- about. It cares more about separating, detaining, and deporting immigrant families than it does the health and safety of our communities, than it does responding to natural disasters.
3. But it's not a surprise, nor is it unsusual. In fact, earlier this year DHS transferred an additional $200M to support Trump's mass deportation machine. @SenJeffMerkley deserves a shout out for helping to shed light on all of this.

Update: @SenSchumer just used procedural tools to (briefly) delay Kavanaugh hearings. This might seem like Schumer is fighting to #StopKanavaugh, but it's *not* the most important thing he could be doing if he wanted to win this fight. thehill.com/homenews/senat… 1/
To recap, Democrats have few tools when they're in the minority to stop bad bills or nominees from moving forward. But one tool at their disposal is "withholding consent". Here's our explainer on it: indivisible.org/resource/senat… 2/
That's exactly what Schumer did today -- he withheld consent on McConnell's request to continue with the Kavanaugh hearing beyond the time allowed. Normally, we'd applaud this kind of resistance. 3/

Imagine if Dems had been uniformly opposed to #Kavanaugh when the Cohen news broke. It would have put them in a much stronger position, and put ALL of the pressure on Rs to protect our democracy from Trump's blatant attempt to protect himself from being held accountable. 1/3
Instead of fighting to #StopKavanaugh, Dem leadership appears content with work shopping their message and soft-landing a defeat. 2/3
Mitch McConnell sees calls for delay for what it is: weakness. He doesn't care. He sees a long list of still undecided Dems and is busy rounding up the votes he needs. And that's what @SenSchumer should be doing too. 3/3

Whether he declares a state of emergency over a Trumped-up border crisis or not, his decision to shut down the government is making people less safe, according to a bunch of national security people I interviewed.

thinkprogress.org/government-shu…
Trump's holding the government ransom for his wall and accusing those who oppose him of not caring about Americans' safety.

In fact, the threat of undocumented immigrants is overblown and false.
The shutdown is not a tool Trump is using to improve America's national security.

What it's actually doing is threatening the safety of Americans in and out of public service.

#Trump's last campaign rally of the 2018 mid-term election season is scheduled to start in about ten minutes. It's his THIRD rally of the day. Dude is likely exhausted and I doubt this rally will be less "speech" and more "incoherent tirade".
At any rate, here's the thread for it! Follow/mute at will!
Current Pre-show music is the Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil." I couldn't make this up if I tried.

A few days ago, I began dropping KAVANAUGH docs. To date 190,000+ pgs.

If the GOP is not going to do their job, then we must do it for them.

I believe in the power of ordinary people to create great change with passion & integrity & diversity & unity.
2/
 I dropped the docs, but thousands of you shared, retweeted & have spent days scouring them and sharing what you found with others.

This is how we change things.

THIS IS YOUR POWER.

3/ In reviewing this data, I found some alarming things re: KAVANAUGH

I would like to share one of them with you, here, in one place.

The thread above is now over 200 tweets long, and while that keeps all docs in one place, it's not great for passing on important information.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
