With all the big news today, you may have missed one of the biggest stories: a sitting Congressman just got indicted for an incredible amount of corruption. We've been on this one for a long time. And there's only one way it can end. Let's talk. 1/ sandiegouniontribune.com/news/watchdog/…
Two years ago, it came out that Rep. Duncan Hunter used more than $1,000 of campaign money on video games. That's when we began digging. 2/ sandiegouniontribune.com/news/watchdog/…
More than two years ago, we filed ethics and FEC complaints against Rep. Duncan Hunter for what we found--including a jewelry store in Italy marked campaign food and beverage (today he was indicted in part for the Italy trip) 3/ citizensforethics.org/press-release/…
We weren't done with Duncan Hunter. We looked into his campaign's food and beverage expenses, and found Sea World...and Disney...and weekly trips to a DC bar...and what would turn out to be his kids' school lunches 4/ citizensforethics.org/whats-duncan-h…
We then filed MORE federal complaints against Duncan Hunter, this time for apparently using his campaign to pay for his children’s private school expenses, including tuition, uniforms and meals. 5/ citizensforethics.org/press-release/…
It's really no surprise, after showing such a blatant disregard for the law, that Congressman Duncan Hunter was indicted on federal charges today. It was inevitable. And it's clear what needs to happen next: Duncan Hunter needs to resign immediately. 6/6 citizensforethics.org/press-release/…

The Trump Foundation today agreed to shut down in scandal. CREW first brought attention to its illegal activities almost three years ago. Let's take a trip down memory lane 1/ washingtonpost.com/politics/trump…
In March 2016, CREW discovered the Trump Foundation illegally gave a $25,000 political donation to support FL AG Pam Bondi while her office was reportedly investigating Trump University. It never brought a complaint. We did. 2/ citizensforethics.org/press-release/…
The next day, Trump representatives admit to the illegal donation, blaming an increasing series of unlikely clerical errors. 3/ citizensforethics.org/weve-got-quest…

When Rudy's client, @realDonaldTrump, supported Pam Bondi for AG, it was with an illegal $25K donation from his charity while her office was reportedly reviewing complaints against Trump University. She never took action against Trump U. Let's take a stroll down memory lane. 1/
Two and a half years ago, we filed the first complaint against the Trump Foundation with the IRS for the illegal donation to support Pam Bondi and for failing to disclose it on its tax returns. 2/ citizensforethics.org/press-release/…
The next day the Trump Foundation blamed its problems on an increasing series of catastrophic clerical errors, which if true (unlikely), raised serious questions about how the charity operated 3/ citizensforethics.org/weve-got-quest…

For the last 24 hours I've been texting & calling with refugees in Libya. 500 are apparently stuck in a Tripoli prison w/o food & water after heavy fighting broke out two days ago. They say their guards ran away, leaving them alone.
These refugees are men, women & children. They tried to cross the Mediterranean earlier this year, but were found by Italian boats, who turned them over to the EU-backed Libyan coastguard, who put them in prison. The conditions were already terrible before the fighting started.
Oh the phone earlier I could hear children crying & what sounded like bombing in the distance. The refugees say everyone's incredibly frightened. "We hear machine guns, tanks, big bombs, last night from the roof it was all fire."

You know how Trump always pivots to race when he’s trying to change the media focus?

The story of Brookfield/Qatar $2 billion dollar sweetheart bailout deal for Kushner’s 666 5th Avenue property would be the leading scandal in the news today, but “Tweet!”

Background:
This deal has been in the works for a long time. It's on, it's off, it never existed, it has nothing to do with Jared's punishment of Qatar, nothing to do with Qatar's purchase of Trump condos. The spin has been top notch. In the end, it's #corruption.

vanityfair.com/news/2018/05/k…
This deal didn't just happen. Jared had to stomp his delicate little foot and also use the power of the U.S. Government to organize a blockade of Qatar. Jared wants his money! Stomp!

Jimin wouldn’t allow himself to be trapped on his shift for any longer than necessary.

“Go, go,” Taehyung hurried, taking Jimin’s apron to let him slip out from behind the counter more quickly. Jimin decided he could get the grounds out from under his nails at home.
This morning had been absolute hell. Two girls ordered seven drinks, Jimin made them all only for them to say they were supposed to be with almond milk.

‘Oh I’m so sorry,’ was he all he had legally been allowed to say at the time, while his mind had far more colorful ideas.
With Jimin officially clocked out, he slumped on the customer side of the now empty service counter, looking to his friend with tired eyes.

“You wanna grab dinner later?”
“I can’t, remem—?
“Ah, right...”

Jimin’s disappointment vanished as Taehyung suddenly smiled to himself.

(1) Do WE, THE PEOPLE realize that Sanofi Pasteur’s Tripiedia DTaP vaccine listed AUTISM as one of the adverse reactions to their vaccine? If parents knew that, they might have reconsidered giving the child the vaccine.
(2) That particular brand DTaP vaccine is no longer available on the market as of 2014, but the serum’s insert – last updated in December 2005 –under a section on page 11 describing “ADVERSE REACTIONS,” researchers acknowledged “autism,” among other serious complications...
(3) The insert warns:
"Adverse events reported during post-approval use of Tripedia vaccine include idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, SIDS, anaphylactic reaction, cellulitis, AUTISM, convulsion/grand malconvulsion, encephalopathy, hypotonia, neuropathy, somnolence and apnea."

Are you one of those people who's looked back on 2017 and convinced yourself that you haven't achieved anything? Worried about catching up with your mates who seem to have done much better?

Let me tell you a story about #time.

A thread 👇
A long #time ago, back when I was about twelve or thirteen years old, my parents travelled to Uyo.

Before leaving, my mother asked me to prepare Edikang ikong soup so she and my father would eat when they returned.
When I was finished with the soup, it was supposed to look something like this:
