The GOP praised and justified her inexplicable presence in the WH, and now she writes a book and she’s an untrustworthy liar.
I’ve seen no serious reporter suggest that she is trustworthy, nor have I seen them suggest she is some kind of Oracle. I have seen them suggest that she’s always been unreliable, which is a bit different than what the GOP stance on her has been.
Pretend shock that a woman E! once named reality TV’s number one bad girl might not have been the most loyal WHITE HOUSE STAFFER is just flatly insane.

Im not sure why the two scenarios are equivalent. McSally’s opponent was not actively managing his own election and polling locations in Arizona didn’t have near the problems those in Georgia did.
No one was praising McSally for simply walking away. People praised her for not inventing problems to be mad about - even if you disagree with the severity of problems in Georgia it is undeniable that they were present.
Just the idea that McSally would’ve stood down if Sinema was in charge of the election or if there were five hour lines in Republican strongholds coupled with massive machine failure and ongoing lawsuits is...not credible.

Hello journalists. Please do not retweet or quote claims about illegal ballot activity in Florida, Georgia or Arizona without fact checking those claims. You will help spread panic and mistrust and many of you already have.
And I’m mostly looking at you, national journalists. Local journalists are doing a fine job covering this accurately. All voting is local, and not all wild claims are news.
Journalists are part of the voting process. We are not apart from it. People do not look at the statements by their Secretary of State on a state website - they google and our work is there. If that work contains misinformation we meaningfully impact this system. Do good work.

Last week Trump praised a congressman who body slammed a reporter.
"If you see somebody getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of them, would you? Seriously, OK? Just knock the hell ... I promise you I will pay for the legal fees. I promise, I promise," — Trump in Feb. 2016 at one of his rallies.
"The audience hit back and that's what we need a little bit more of." mashable.com/2016/03/11/don…

1. The founders believed that the synergy of free, informed individuals with three independent branches of government would make democracy thrive. They didn't consider that the synergy of a campaign, a foreign power and a complicit majority party could destroy democracy.
2. The knew a free press was integral to our success, but they couldn't have envisioned the mass spread of propaganda - spawned and disseminated by foreign entities - through social media. Nor could they anticipate a major news network becoming a propaganda arm of the WH.
3. Further, they didn't likely imagine that our country would become so powerful that the choices of a rogue administration could inflict significant and lasting damage on a global scale - impacting economies, alliances and stability. Yet, here we are.

#GOP salivating over someone 6yrs older than Trump with reams of oppo on him and a phalanx of haters among Democrats does not equal "a lot of people." Sanders polls at 12% & #Midterms were about women & POC.

A Lot of People Want Bernie to Run in 2020
theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
As I wrote a few weeks ago for @damemagazine, 2020 won't be about one term, but two. Any Democrat running for 2020 must be prepared to be an incumbent for 2024. Sanders will be 83 going in.

damemagazine.com/2018/09/04/how…
The reality that neither Bernie nor Biden wants to face is how neither of them looks all that different from Trump on a debate stage. But the counterbalance between Trump and a woman, especially one 20yrs his junior, would be incredibly stark.

GOP insisted on reviewing ALL of Elana Kagan’s WH documents before confirmation, but are pushing a September hearing for Kavanaugh with less than 1% reviewed.

WHAT ARE THEY HIDING?

What role did he played in torture policy and against marriage equality in the Bush WH?
We know that Kavanaugh would almost certainly mean the end of
Roe v Wade. Now, video has surfaced of him discussing Scalia’s opposition to gay marriage and abortion, categorizing them as “new rights,” not guaranteed under the Constitution.
msnbc.com/rachel-maddow/…
Like most “originalists,” Kavanaugh seems to forget the 9th Amendment, which guarantees rights to the people not enumerated by the Constitution, as well as the First, which prohibited laws based on religious beliefs. More on this: m.huffpost.com/us/entry/71880…

I have been battling a new health crisis since my surgery was postponed June 15.

There is no way to adequately articulate--even as a writer--the breadth of hardship inflicted on sick Americans by the Trump presidency & Trump-led #GOP, like lame-duck @SpeakerRyan.
#healthcare
1/
The @CDCgov cites 133M as the number of chronically-ill Americans who have #cancer, like I do, or another illness that impedes their daily lives.

The majority of that 40% of the US population still have to work despite often disabling illness because we cannot afford not to.
2/
I've been writing about #healthcare in America since I was a cub reporter and put on a small story in the mid-80s that turned into a much bigger story: #AIDS.

When you're in your 20s writing about other 20somethings dying, it changes you.

Then I got #breastcancer at 26.

⁉️WHAT⁉️

House #GOP investigating contact btwn FBI General Counsel James Baker & reporter @DavidCornDC who 1st broke the #SteeleDossier story.🤬

Baker ALSO believed to be one of the FBI officials w/whom @Comey shared details of his Trump meetings.🤨

politi.co/2zhVlio
Three FBI officials — Andrew McCabe, Jim Rybicki & James Baker — previously ID’d as being able to corroborate Trump's loyalty pledge to @Comey before he was fired.🤨

Now, they’re ALL being *attacked* by Republicans‼️🤬

#TrumpRussia🇷🇺

vox.com/policy-and-pol…
Baker was reassigned w/in the FBI, but the reason was unclear.🤨

Corn DENIES that Baker was a source: "I'm not going to discuss my sources. But in order to prevent the dissemination of inaccurate information, I will say that James Baker was not my source for this story.”🤔

Look, folks: CI people in the IC were in complete panic in 2016 -- not that Obama WH listened much -- since they KNEW who Trump really was.
2/ OK, time for a mini-rant cum tweetstorm on this since Planet Fox is up in arms now trying to crush the Muller investigation and the FBI.
CI professionals in the IC have known for MANY YEARS that Trump possessed strange, disconcerting ties to the Kremlin. Going back to 80s. /3
