BREAKING: Our activists are on the Scioto River rebuking @Ford's work with Trump to roll back #CleanerCars standards. Steps away, Ford's CEO is giving a speech about the company's “innovative” vision. There's nothing innovative about increasing pollution and consumers' gas bills.
Public Citizen activist Oscar is LIVE on the Scioto River—outside Ford's speech on "innovation"—condemning the company's efforts to roll back #CleanerCars standards, the largest federal climate program in the country.

RT to spread his message and let @Ford know you're watching.
Looks like @Ford’s CEO noticed us.

Citing pressure from our activists, he just appeared to reverse the company's stance on the Trump administration’s proposed #CleanerCars rollback. Now we must hold him to it. bit.ly/FordChangesTune

When the Trump administration undertakes pointless and intellectually embarrassing initiatives, we should be glad. Because it means they didn’t do something evil and of consequence. Which bring us to today’s WH report, “Opportunity Costs of Socialism.” 1/ whitehouse.gov/wp-content/upl…
The report overtly adopts Milton Friedman’s framework: Only good spending is by you, for you (p10). A great argument against public schools, libraries, police, firefighting, NIH, Medicare and parks. 2/
The report ignores that US government spending launched, aids, props up, or supports almost every major industry in the real economy: Pharma, weapons, autos, computers, Internet, ag, aerospace, telecom, oil, petrochem, home building etc. 3/

Saudi Arabia has poured money into Trump’s operations and curried favor with $ since he’s been president. THREAD.
The Saudi embassy has spent at least $270,000 at Trump’s Washington hotel since the November 2016 election, and the royal family has spent big money at his Chicago and New York hotels since he became president.
washingtonpost.com/politics/i-lik…
In 2015, Trump boasted about his business dealings with the Saudis: “Saudi Arabia, I get along with all of them. They buy apartments from me. They spend $40 million, $50 million. Am I supposed to dislike them? I like them very much."

Almost every sentence in Trump's USA Today op-ed attacking Medicare for All contained a misleading statement or falsehood. Let's set the record straight.

Thread.
Medicare for All would not “end Medicare as we know it and take away benefits that seniors have paid for all their lives.” It's called Medicare for All because it would take the program and expand it to everyone. Seniors’ benefits would not be taken away – they would be improved.
Medicare for All won't cost $32.6 trillion over 10 years, b/c it will introduce savings not accounted for in the study Trump cites. But even if it did, that would be LESS than projections for our current system, which also leaves tens of millions of Americans without coverage.

#Trump's last campaign rally of the 2018 mid-term election season is scheduled to start in about ten minutes. It's his THIRD rally of the day. Dude is likely exhausted and I doubt this rally will be less "speech" and more "incoherent tirade".
At any rate, here's the thread for it! Follow/mute at will!
Current Pre-show music is the Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil." I couldn't make this up if I tried.

By rolling back cleaner car standards, Trump is increasing our reliance on foreign oil—and as gas prices rise, so will the risks to our national security.

#CleanerCars
America’s military and intelligence leaders recognize that climate change threatens our troops and our national security. Why doesn't the Commander-in-Chief?

#CleanerCars ➡️ nationalsecurityaction.org/fuel
Rolling back #CleanerCars standards is far from the only black mark on Trump's climate record: he has consistently endangered our security by ignoring the risks associated with climate change. nationalsecurityaction.org/fuel

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
