As news breaks about Trump being implicated by #MichaelCohen in a crime, Mike Pence, Fox News, and others on the right are cynically exploiting the heinous murder of #MollieTibbetts. An evil monster killed her. An undocumented immigrant. I hope justice is swiftly served.
THREAD (2/4):

#MollieTibbetts' family deserves our respect, thoughts, prayers, and condolences. What they do NOT deserve is to be used as pawns to make a political point about immigration, to stoke xenophobia, to drum up fear and bigotry.
THREAD (3/4):

Has Mike Pence tweeted about the recent murder of:

Makiyah Wilson, 10-years-old

Kayden Mancuso, 7-years-old

Nia Wilson, 18-years-old

Casey Nicole Kizer, 17-years-old

Megan L. Metzger, 19-years-old

Or any of numerous murders of young women across America?
THREAD (4/4):

Murderers are monsters, no matter what their skin color or immigration status. But you won't see Mike Pence or Fox News single out victims of white males. Because it doesn't fit their agenda. They are using a murdered young woman as a political pawn. Disgusting.

THREAD (1/3): #BERNIE vs #BETO

The 2020 Dem primary is going to be intense one way or the other. The stakes are too high for it not to be. Heading into 2019, we'll see lots of early maneuvering and skirmishes. That's fine, AS LONG AS THEY ARE NOT CHARACTER ATTACKS.
THREAD (2/3): #BERNIE vs #BETO

A character attack directly impugns the honesty, integrity, and/or ethics of a candidate. Examples: Candidate X is a liar. Candidate Y is immoral. An issue debate is perfectly acceptable, i.e. Candidate Z is wrong on health care, the economy, etc.
THREAD (3/3): #BERNIE vs #BETO

Neither #BernieSanders nor #BetoORourke have announced if they are running. Supporters of each should feel free to battle out the issues, BUT AVOID CHARACTER ATTACKS. We cannot afford to give needless ammunition to the GOP.

I'm watching Trump, Pelosi, and Schumer bicker about the budget and the wall. This spectacle is beneath the dignity of this country.
Of course I agree with the Dem position, but the fact that we're here is just sad.
For anyone misconstruing my tweet, I'm agreeing with what Nancy Pelosi said: "I don’t think we should have a debate in front of the press on this." The fact that Trump got schooled is a good thing. But the reality is that none of us should want that kind of spectacle.

Interesting on its own, this story about how Russian trolls pushed vaccine debates in the US includes several other key points that are worth examining. THREAD
www-m.cnn.com/2018/08/23/hea…
First of all, it's fascinating to me just from the standpoint of how even the most absurd propositions can draw wide audiences, when thinking people should be able to dismiss them out of hand. 2/
Second, the fact that we will argue ad inifinitum about subjects that don't deserve a second look is a serious indictment of something - either our inherently American contrariness or the ground-leveling effect social media has. 2/

1. In 1987 it is believed that #Trump was recruited by #SovietUnion, specifically recruited by Kryuchkov head of First Chief Directorate, a division within the #KGB who's primary responsibility was to gather foreign intelligence

#Trump #Russia #SovietUnion #Treason
2.Both Kryuchkov and #Gorbachev faced #Reagan as #President, and he was in the #SovietUnion´s eyes regarded as a very strong leader, the opposite of #Carter of #Ford, when dealing with them.

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
