This photo from Trump’s interview with Reuters is amazing for how many recording devices are in the Resolute desk. Looks like at least 7, incl perhaps one or two from WH side. (Also Trump’s classic arms-crossed posture.)
couple other thoughts: Trump was said to be mad at staff about the tough questions he got in Helsinki from Reuters and AP. But here he has one of those reporters, @jeffmason1 (guy in middle) at the desk with him. Wonder if he knew.
Also: Trump has spoken with WSJ and Reuters in the past few days. Trump, a former businessman, certainly would want to message on trade/economy to Wall Street and these are financial-focused outlets. But notable he still relies on mainstream outlets.

World leaders are walking shoulder to shoulder along the Champs Elysses but Trump arrived separately and isn’t participating in this.

. @brhodes said there is "always" a backup plan for Potus bad weather travel. I just spoke with someone familiar with GWBush's travel. He agreed with Ben. Quick thread to shed a bit more light on typical WH protocols. 1/
WH has an big "advance" team that scouts out countries/cities weeks ahead to set up itinerary. "There’s always a backup plan to drive. He could have gotten there," my source said. Sometimes local officials fret about traffic but "no place would say no you absolutely can't go." 2/
The military would make the bad weather call to ground Marine One. The key is having enough time to scramble the backup plan -- usually at least an hour is needed, source said. WH would work with locals to put it in motion, predetermined street closures, police escorts, etc. 3/

My 101-year-old grandmother Toshiko died three weeks ago. We are cleaning out her home and I found these relics from their time in the Topaz, Utah, relocation camps in WWII—my grandfather’s WRA cards, my father’s school essay years later and the Topaz Times camp newspaper.
I’ve written a couple times about my family’s connection to the internment camps including when my father handed Obama a baseball card a few years ago washingtonpost.com/news/early-lea…
Here are some more artifacts from the internment camps. Notice to report to Topaz from Santa Anita processing facility; my dad’s Topaz card; family claim against fed gov for losses after dry cleaning biz seized.

Things are starting to change. What future do we want?

The political left and alt-right will use technology (incl. #AI/#AGI) & near-certain runaway #climate change. How to turn threats into opportunities? An intro to #ExtinctionRebellion research: vimeo.com/297453366 1/n
This film introduces a political theory on necessary conditions for climate mitigation (a.k.a.: "saving the world"). Let's call this theory "carbon language" until we find a better term. Don't worry, this thread will be short and easy to understand. vimeo.com/297679220 2/n
Indeed, this thread is entirely unscientific because science can tell us only how to save the world, not why. Why preserve life on Earth? Why live good lives? These are ethical questions; their answers depend on our values, and if we want to mitigate climate change, we will 3/n

#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.

#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.

If Dems are in legal trouble, who do they call? Perkins Coie, of course!

Perkins Coie has a well established history of providing legal services to the Democratic elite.

Let's take a look at some of these cases, shall we?

Perkins Coie's clients include: HRC, DNC, Jim Jordan's accusers and Hussein.

Boy, they really get around!

Meet Marc Elias, general council for HRC's 2016 campaign and partner at Perkins Coie. He was also general council for John Kerry's campaign, and won the case in the contested Al Frankin election.

How #Trump became a #Soviet/#Russian Agent
1. #Trump's first known visit to #Soviet and #Moscow in 1987 looks to be part of a pattern. The #SteeleDossier says that the #Kremlin had been cultivating# Trump for “at least five years” before 2016 elections, meaning it asserts a beginning in 2011 or 2012.
2.The #SovietUnion was interested in #Trump three decades earlier. The top level of the #Soviet diplomatic service arranged his 1987 #Moscow visit.
