Wall shutdown showdown’s next act: Trump goes to southern border Thursday “to meet with those on the frontlines of the national security and humanitarian crisis.” He’s not negotiating a deal. He’s putting on shows to keep his propaganda on TV/media. Maybe he’ll bring a caravan😒
Trump to visit southern border after telling aides on Sunday he wanted them to come up with a resolution to the shutdown fight that would reopen the government—without him appearing to have capitulated to Democrats. via @WSJ wsj.com/articles/trump…
TV networks agreeing to air Trump's far-right wall propaganda address as if a real national security emergency is pretty despicable. An ominous sign that they haven't learned much about how propagandists use media to elevate bullshit in ways that undermine our country & the press

MAGA America: Trump’s about to speak in the Rose Garden. He reportedly just threatened to keep the govt shutdown for “months and years” over his campaign con wall. While a federal worker tells CNN she can’t pay her bill. #winning 🙃
Trump: “Tremendous things are happening. Wages are finally going up. It’s beautiful. That doesn’t happen from luck. I worked hard on that.” Now he’s just rambling about “open borders,” people getting shot, children…“Coyotes take a left, turn at the wall or powerful steel.” 🤦‍♀️😒

Of note: the DoJ complaint against Elena Khusyaynova of "Project Lakhta" for conspiring to interfere in the 2018 election was kept under seal for 3 weeks, and was released in part to raise public awareness about Russian political influence campaigns for our midterms. Be woke!
"The group attempted to sow conflict along racial lines and sometimes advocated positions that directly opposed each other, apparently agnostic to whom they supported as long as it turned Americans against one another." Be woke!
I've seen some troll accounts like this. They write outrageous things to attack me or people on my threads, then when I look at their page, their positions are incendiary but on both sides. Be woke and block like crazy!

Federal prosecutors indict a #Russian🇷🇺woman alleged to be the chief accountant of an *ONGOING* Kremlin campaign to influence 2018 ELECTIONS in the US & EU (including troll farm Internet Research Agency) financed by "Putin's Chef," Yevgeniy Prigozhin.🤬

cnn.com/2018/10/19/pol…
One major #Russian🇷🇺social-media theme was to exploit white supremacy👉🏼trolling NFL protests against #racist policing, #immigration, the Confederate flag & “the #Charlottesville ‘Unite The Right’ rally” that killed Heather Heyer in Aug'17.

Goal: INFLAME and DIVIDE US.🤬
Pivoting off a piece by "right-wing blowhard" Michael Savage, the #Russians🇷🇺 sought to “forcefully support” Savage’s message that “any attempt to remove Trump is a direct path to **civil war** in the US."😳

Justice Dept. charges Russian woman with interference in Midterm elections wapo.st/2NQkg4a?tid=ss…
What's clear from this indictment is that @TheJusticeDept @ODNIgov continue to do their jobs, and Putin continues to do his. He appears undeterred from attacking our country -- @AmbJohnBolton heads to Moscow tomorrow, and @realDonaldTrump may be scheduling a second Summit w Putin
In Helsinki @realDonaldTrump said he believed Putin that he doesn't think he meddled in the 2016 election. And this round?
