Mike Pence just publicly congratulated Martha McSally for winning the #AZSen GOP primary.

None of the ballot counts have been announced in that race.

Pence deleted the tweet, but here it is. NYT live results showed 0% of AZ precincts reporting when he sent it.
McSally held the lead from day 1, so this was a safe tweet for Pence's team to prepare. But to prematurely fire it off to more than 3 million followers, in a year when election integrity is front-and-center, was a pretty significant mistake. Not a conspiracy, mind you. A mistake.
PS- The app I use for Twitter, called Tweeten, does not show any verification check marks on opened tweets (Ex: The WaPo tweet below). McSally congrats came from Pence's campaign account, which has 3.32 million followers.

My favorite Mattis story: Christmas Day 1998. Brigadier General Mattis learned that a young Marine on watch duty that day had a wife and little kids. So Mattis volunteered to take his place, and spent the day manning a guard gate at Quantico so the Marine could be w his family.
Asked what he was doing, Mattis said “I looked at the duty roster for today and a young major had it who is married and had a family; I’m a bachelor, I thought why should the major miss out on the fun of having Christmas with his family, and so I took the duty for him.”

Whoa. Michael Avenatti's client, Julie Swetnik, alleges in a sworn statement that she saw Kavanaugh waiting in a line outside a bedroom for his turn to gang rape a young women, and that Swetnik was drugged and gang raped at a party Kavanaugh attended.
More: "I also witnessed efforts by Mark Judge, Brett Kavanaugh and others to cause girls to become inebriated and disoriented so they could then be “gang raped” in a side room or bedroom by a “train” of numerous boys."
BRK: Potentially the most damning line of the entire affidavit: "have firm recollection of seeing boys lined up outside rooms at many of these parties waiting their “turn” with a girl inside the room. These boys included Mark Judge and Brett Kavanaugh."

NEW: Michael Cohen made a previously unreported $50,000 payment to a mysterious tech company to help Trump's 2016 presidential campaign cnb.cx/2MMmHrQ
Here's the prosecutor's document, where the payment is described on page 16: documentcloud.org/documents/4779…
This is almost certainly not Cambridge Analytica, a company that was paid on the books by the Trump campaign. This is money Cohen spent, that was never reported as a campaign expense, and that Trump Org reimbursed.

We've seen Arizona indies flirt with the idea of voting for Democratic candidates statewide, only to swing back in the final stretch. Sinema needs a huge margin. It would be the first time since 2008, when Obama won them by just 51 to 46. He went on to lose them to Mitt Romney.
Obama went on to lose AZ indies to Romney by nearly the same margin he had previously carried them against McCain, 51% to 45%. Trump carried indies in AZ, 47% to 44%. Flake won them by just 46% to 45%.
But for Sinema to overcome that early vote lead, considering what vote is left on the table, she would need a historic margin no Democrat has received among indies AND a monster turnout that favors Democrats. Judging by the data, there's no such evidence she'll get it.

Let’s take a closer look at the Trump Transition Team. As per usual, Trump has surrounded himself with grifters, scumbags, con-men, and traitors.

[THREAD]
1/ The chair of the TTT? Mike Pence. The @VP has lived in the shadows for most of the last two years, emerging only to protest at NFL games or to promote zany space stuff. But make no mistake: Manafort’s Chosen One (and thus Putin’s) was IN CHARGE OF THE TRANSITION.
2/ Let me reiterate: Putin chose Manafort, who chose Pence, who chose EVERYONE, in theory, as the head of the Trump Transition Team.

ANYTHING criminal that happened at that time lands right in his lap.

The buck stops with Pence.

"Trump has used Harley-Davidson as an example of a US business that is being harmed by trade barriers. Yet Harley has warned consistently against tariffs, saying they would negatively impact sales"

Harley, hit by tariffs, shifts some production overseas apnews.com/6c8942f7363743…
Important issue highlighted by @riotwomennn: are tariff exemptions determined by bribes?

Corker: "22,000 companies have asked for exemptions.There is no basis to deal with them. Are they going to grant these exclusions based on political contributions?"
Trump’s trade war with the European Union is going to cost Harley-Davidson as much as $100 million a year and force the manufacturer to shift production out of the U.S. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

If you're getting ready to go to the polls in Alabama and cast your vote for a child molester...

You might be a #Trumpanzee
If you are rooting for the new tax plan, but concerned that your cousin-wife might lose coverage on her 2 existing teeth...

You might be a #Trumpanzee
