First 2 members of Trump Congressional Caucus - Collins and Hunter were inducted and now @potus is rage-tweeting the Attorney General. Some presume he’s setting up the pardons; others presume the GOP in #ca50 want Hunter to win then quit (both presumptions can be true).
Read Trump’s tweet as help to Hunter reinforcing the #ca50 “keep it red” message to voters: IF Hunter has to leave office the GOP gets a do-over. Hunter needs leverage and his seat is what he has to “offer” prosecutors. If he WINS he has a 2 year seat to give up in a plea deal.
Whatever the purpose, a President trying to influence the Attorney General - and the jury pool (!!) - in a series of prosecutions would have Republicans who say they mourn the lost norms of Washington DC screaming from the rooftops ...

Outtakes from the #DNC Executive Meeting in #PuertoRico (thread)

Chair promises a 2020 process that is fair. Will release a protocol on debates soon; expect debates in summer 2019 . Will decide by March 2019 the Host City for 2020 Convention: Houston, Miami Beach, or Milwaukee.
We have worked hard to rebuild trust on our presidential process. Rules and Bylaws Cttee working with early states on rules. A key rule change ends superdelegates voting 1st round absent consensus candidate BUT elected officials can still be PLEOs & not run against constituents.
The PLEO Party Leader Elected Official designation is for pledged delegates who are Members of Congress Governors etc who want a first round #DNC convention vote but don’t want to run against activist to get there.

Days ago #SFGiants bade farewell to #Forever44 #WillieMcCovey who rose from segregated South to @mlb Hall of Famer.
Today it’s gut-wrenching to see the team I love & serve as a volunteer NOT get that this #MSsen debacle is bigger than politics or baseball - it’s about humanity.
But we are about #ReclaimingOurTeam — the team of Mays. McCovey, and so many other @sfgiants greats; the team@of the Giants Community Fund and the millions of dollars that go into youth sports as well as violence prevention, health care and education; the team of SF values.
As a @SFGiants fan I celebrate all the good works on and off the field. As a volunteer I have raised my girl to be a #JrGiants booster. And I’ve told her that my calling out racism today could mean me getting booted off the board. But overcoming racism matters more than my title.

Some of you have asked me about the @CA_Dem situation. As many of you know I wear several hats here - #CADEM Women’s Caucus chair, @WeSaidEnough cofounder and counsel; survivor advocate.
Here’s what I can share (thread)
1/?
As @CA_Dem Women’s Caucus Chair I’m proud to serve with an incredible board of committed feminists who speak clearly for survivors of all genders. Our work over the years has included speaking truth to power. Today (when complaints surfaced against the Chair) was no exception.
2/
As to the “due process” we demand in our caucus statement today, please know that @CA_Dem policy has improved due to the bipartisan work of @WeSaidEnough and the partisan organizing of the @CA_Dem Women’s Caucus. Here are some parts of the updated #CADem Employee Handbook

06/01/2019 - 78 years ago today, the longest-serving #UnitedStates #President, #Franklin D. #Roosevelt (#FDR) addressed the 77th #Congress with his "#Four #Freedoms" speech with the intent to shift #US #foreign #policy from that of #neutrality to #interventionist.
#FDR promoted the idea that the people of the world, in all nations, shared entitlement to four freedoms: that of the freedom of speech and expression, the freedom of worship, the freedom from want and the freedom from fear.
#FDR is arguably one of the most 'successful' #US Presidents. Some would argue that on the basis of his numerous social policies such as 'the New Deal'. Others, however, would argue that his role during the second world war was more prevalent to his success & everlasting legacy.

@Jim_Jordan Any #Trump sycophant, alleged pedophile protector, trying to besmirch this hero, while his own children will have to suffer from the decisions made for the country, is sad. Why wouldn't the #GOP make it an open door session if they had nothing to hide? Your reign ends soon.
@Jim_Jordan As time passes, more comes to light, with the Steele dossier, Trumps alleged involvement in Epstein child sex ring where Secretary Acosta stopped the FBI investigation before more suspects could be arrested, and money laundering campaign contributions from Russian operatives.
@Jim_Jordan Plus your support for a theocratic monarchy that really acts like a ruthless inhumane dictator & desire to sell American technology to them when it could then be used to kill our own troops or handed over to Russia is genuinely INSANE. Who is dishonorable, spineless sycophantic?

Who funds the IEA, the TPA, the ASI &co?
You know, the RW 'free trade' thick tanks advocating tax havens, "freedom" (no regulations like workers' rights or environmental protection), no welfare (no tax & no free healthcare).
Basically, "Only the wealthier survive" philosophy?
1/n
*Could it be* that it has something to do with defending their funders' interests?
Today, I'm going to tell you the Thick Tanks' Hydra tale.
Featuring Atlas, huge piles of money, tradition, "free speech", useful idiots and a very clear agenda that Brexit/Trump are a part of.
2/n
Take a seat: It's a long story, with a lot of players, including politicians, pretty ladies squatting your TV, the climate change denial's network, the global fascist movement, Silicon Valley/multiname data-stealing/misusing company & private companies' involved in elections.

Trump and Mussolini: 11 Key Lessons from Historical Fascism

Italian fascism provides a better model for our moment than Nazi Germany—and the comparison is not encouraging.

By: @Anis_Shivani for @AlterNet
Thread ✔
1/
Fascism is a religion. The 20th century will be known in history as the century of fascism.
〰️ Benito Mussolini

2/
I’d like to draw some comparisons and contrasts between our present situation and that of #fascist Italy between 1922 and 1945. I choose fascist #Italy rather than #Nazi #Germany because it has always seemed to me a better comparison.

🐘GOP AM🐘

LB: Alt-Right = Active Measures (AM) + RU 💰& amplified by RU trolls + coordinated RW media machine + guided by Conservative PR firms & think tanks + Bannon/Trump operatives + key @GOP Senate/Congressional staff = sources for MSM = control the news cycles/narratives
🐘GOP AM2🐘

In June 2016, Rob Goldstone emailed DonJr. promising incriminating information about HRC as part of a RU gov’t effort to help the Trump campaign.

Did the White House via @RajShah45 leak identity of Dr. Ford to @GOP operatives hours before the WaPo story broke?
🐘GOP AM3🐘

‼️Nationwide Women’s Walk out Mon 1 pm EDT to 10 pm PDT

👉🏼@GOP are actively dehumanizing woman via normalizing rape, sexual assault, limit access to birth control, sexual abuse of children & likely next decriminalize domestic violence, like Putin did in RU.

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
