today's classic example of what's wrong w/ WH briefings.

SHS announces completely bizarre, unhinged, insane policy of revoking security clearance.

reporters in the room ALL know it's completely bizarre, unhinged and insane--yet treat as just more news.
if Obama WH had done that, the chairs in the press briefing room would've been ripped from their bases and tossed around the room
srsly

I have some thoughts; dailykos.com/story/2019/1/8…
you can’t make this stuff up folks!!
btw, here’s what’s wrong with bowing to Trump and then giving Dems rebuttal time—networks are presenting both as equally valid when everyone at every news org in America knows Trump lies abt immigration *nonstop*

this is an embarrassing take. Trump’s on pace for 15k lies in 4 yrs and media should give him “benefit of the doubt”? just wow
this is parts of media clinging to idea Trump isn’t dangerously radical
worse, networks already know Trump’s going to address a **completely fictional border “crisis”**

My continuing saga of the black hat #hackers who stalk me relentlessly... last week, we showed you how the #DepartmentofLabor was hacking me - and I’ve proven how the #DOD, #DNI, and #CIA are hacking me too. But now, let’s dive a bit deeper into this, shall we?
This number continually calls me on my #ministry #prayer line. Yes, my number is public knowledge for the ministry - it’s NOT my personal number for a reason. However, “Defense Infomr” is directly tied to the #DOD. Makes you wonder why the @DeptofDefense is stalking a CIVILIAN.
I wonder if the @DoD_IG knows about how much money #Trump and his goons spend of TAX-PAYER dollars to stalk and harass me? A #minister. Who has #cancer, no less. Can you say desperate? I am a CIVILIAN and YES, I have a high level #security clearance as a civilian but I am NOT

It’s Time Twitter Cleaned Up The #Phishing Ads

I’ve just written this. I’m passionate about Twitter - always have been. I love how it is tackling fake accounts and hoping to reduce the amount of extremism online. But these adverts should be a priority.

Today’s scam has roped in @patheuk, @swansladies, @sarahscoop, @angola2411, @bookmyshow_sup - last time it was @monsterjobs, @GeoffroyDidier, @wsu_womensgolf, @CarteNoireUK and @rpsgmavericks - all without their knowledge and all trying to scam people out of their #bitcoin.
Each of the accounts used in the scams are @verified and, last time this happened, I copied in @TwitterSupport so they knew it was happening. It looks like it takes about 30 mins-1 hour to take down these scams but that is long and the damage to innocent accounts lasts longer.

1/ NEW: Federal authorities in VA announced today that 4 men have been arrested in connection with the violence at Unite the Right in Charlottesville in Aug. 2017. We’ve reported on 3 of those men before. We first identified Tom Gillen & Ben Daley in this video last October.
2/ We ID’ed another of the men indicted today, Michael Miselis, back in July, when we discovered he was working for a Defense Contractor with a US government security clearance. propub.li/2OA98wQ
3/ One day after our story published w/ @frontlinepbs, Miselis lost his job with Northrop Grumman. When we confronted him, Miselis told us we “had the wrong guy.” propub.li/2IAhXks

Saudi crown prince boasted that Jared Kushner was “in his pocket” & had divulged names of Saudis disloyal to him – intel straight from the President's Daily Brief, which Jared read regularly before being stripped of his TS security clearance.
#Maddow interc.pt/2DKsRQK
Recall: Jared Kushner's unannounced Oct trip to Riyadh caught some intelligence officials off guard. “The two princes stayed up until nearly 4 am...planning strategy.” The following week, the crown prince launched his royal "purge."
HT @sharmila819 #Maddow
ICYMI on Oct 29: "Kushner left DC via commercial airline on Wed for the trip, which was not announced to the public. The WH official would not say who Kushner met w/ in Saudi, but he's cultivated a relationship w/ Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman."
