Ex-Rhode Island Rep. Claudine Schneider and other former congressional Republicans have launched Republicans for Integrity, an "ad hoc" group that will target Republican incumbents this fall. republicansforintegrity.org
Other founding members of Republicans for Integrity: ex-Rep. Kolbe (AZ), ex-Sen. Durenberger (MN), ex-Rep. Clinger (PA), and ex-Rep. McCloskey (CA). All were anti-Trump in 2016. Schneider and Durenberger openly supported Clinton.
Schneider tells me the group will not accept donations or form as a super PAC or 501c3/4. Efforts will include op-ed writing and earned media. So, not a massive media campaign. But ...
“... we must unseat some Republicans who willfully fail to exercise Constitutional oversight responsibilities,” Schneider says.
Who might Republicans for Integrity target? No firm decisions yet, but Schneider mentions COMSTOCK, COFFMAN, Rohrabacher, Jim Jordan, Ken Buck, Dave Brat, and Mark Meadows as possibilities.

I just completed Chapter 8 of my livetweeting of my reading of Seth Abramson’s book, Proof of Collusion, which you can buy here: simonandschuster.com/books/Proof-of…
My threads on previous chapters are here:
Chapter 9 is called “’The Hunt for Her Emails.’” Of course, no one ever found them (these were emails that the FBI let Hillary, with the aid of her lawyers, delete when they handed over a large cache of them to the FBI, because as they were going to be published publicly...

Former President Obama: "You need to vote because our democracy depends on it."
Former President Obama on President Trump:

"He is a symptom, not the cause. He's just capitalizing on resentments that politicians have been fanning for years."
Former President Obama: "What happened to the Republican party? ... In a healthy democracy, there's some checks and balances on this kind of behavior, this kind of inconsistency. But right now there's nothing."

The very conservative @weeklystandard editorial shocker:
"Only one president in history, Andrew Jackson, has ever been censured by #Congress, but #Republicans on the Hill would not be out of line in seeking a formal censure of Donald #Trump. [MORE]
weeklystandard.com/the-editors/ed…
[CONT 2]
"We understand that such a measure wld be largely symbolic. But symbols matter. It would be no small thing for congressional #Republicans to declare, in a formal manner, that a president who coddles and defends an anti-American despot doesn’t deserve their support." MORE
[CONT 3]
"Passage of a censure resolution by the House or #Senate wld be a powerful statement that #GOP leaders will not excuse a sitting president of either party openly crediting America’s enemies at the expense of its public servants—& of the truth."

1. I remember when you angry #Trumpkins stormed into #Republican Party; called #Conservatives “cucks”, “leftists”, “Killary voters”, “libtards”. You idolized #Trump in a cultic way. You fraternized with alt right #racists. You winked at #sexism. ->

#ConservativeWithoutAParty
2. You said #Conservative principles didn’t really matter, though you really couldn’t tell us what #Conservatism means. Of course, your leader didn’t know either; his attempts to articulate it were painful. You mocked our efforts to explain. ->

#ConservativeWithoutAParty
3. #Trump wild swings of rhetoric, positions, moods didn’t bother any of you. Whatever Trump said last was best & most true, no matter the word salad in which it was presented. His blatant self-contradictions were obvious to all but to you. ->

🛑BREAKING🛑

THREAD: Cambridge Analytica (CA) assigned dozens of non-US citizens to provide campaign strategy and messaging advice to ­#Republican candidates in 2014, even as an attorney *warned* CA that this was ILLEGAL‼️1/

washingtonpost.com/politics/forme…
This ILLEGAL effort to embed foreign workers was designed to present Cambridge Analytica, whose parent, SCL Group, was based in London, as “an American brand” to appeal to U.S. political clients.🙄 2/
U.S. election laws CLEARLY say that foreign nationals (w/o a green card) must not “directly or indirectly participate in the decision-making process” of a political campaign, although they can play lesser roles.🤨 3/
