Ryan Zinke to resign as interior secretary, Trump says; Zinke had faced allegations of misconduct involving a land development deal wapo.st/2Exgf4b
The White House has viewed Zinke as the Cabinet member most vulnerable to a Democratic probe. His conduct has spurred at least 15 investigations, nine of which were closed wapo.st/2BmAOwd
The most serious issue for Zinke was an investigation into whether he used his office for personal gain in connection with a land deal he forged in Whitefish, Montana wapo.st/2zPbHSa

The world is entering a new era of autocracy.

Countries that once represented the triumph of liberty and freedom are now using democratic structures as tools of oppression. wapo.st/2RHwy1g
As Americans worry about the health of their own democracy, Poland, Hungary, Romania and the Czech Republic show that decline can come bracingly fast.

And the signs bear little resemblance to the repressive methods of 20th-century despotism. wapo.st/2EjOTyp
Supposedly independent institutions — including courts and prosecutor’s offices — become instruments of political control. wapo.st/2EjOTyp

“The Apprentice,” a new book by The Washington Post, reveals new details about Russian interference in the 2016 election.

This excerpt chronicles Trump’s first visit to the CIA and the origins of the investigation that would define his presidency. wapo.st/2OCVbej
In 2016, CIA Director John Brennan sequestered himself for two days in his office with a pile of raw Russian intelligence, staying so late that the glow through his office window remained visible deep into the night. wapo.st/2OCVbej
In phone calls, Putin whispered conspiratorially, telling President Trump it wasn’t their fault they could not consummate the relationship they sought.

“It’s not us. We get it,” Putin said. “It’s the subordinates fighting against our friendship.” wapo.st/2OCVbej

Good morning.
The recently released video that went viral where SATIRE was MISinterpreted, used as a tool to AUTHENTICATE that #BuhariDouble or #JubrilFromSudan is a possibility shows you the reality of our respected voices.
Welcome to #SatireCongregation
Since we need to start elementary class afresh on twitter because of our highly educated folks who have become part of #SatireCongregation, we need to get it DEFINED:
What exactly is the English definition of SATIRE that our Professors, Pro-Chancellors, PHD holders did not get?
SATIRE:
/satʌɪə/
noun
the use of humour, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues.
Helloo, #SatireCongregation,
"to expose and criticize people's STUPIDITY"

In July 2018, a horrifying video began to circulate on social media.

2 women & 2 young children are led away by a group of soldiers. They are blindfolded, forced to the ground, and shot 22 times.

#BBCAfricaEye investigated this atrocity. This is what we found...
This is the video that went viral. We’ve cut out the ending, but - WARNING – it’s distressing.
Immediately, a fierce debate began on social media.

Some said this happened in Cameroon. Others said it was Mali.

I've been wanting to do a thread on Republican fundraiser Elliott Broidy for a while, but I seriously don't know where to start. This guy seems to be up to his neck in all sorts of bizarre scandals. So here's a short rundown of some of the things we've learned about Broidy.
Back in 2009, Broidy pleaded guilty to committing a felony by giving nearly $1 million in illegal gifts to state officials in order to secure a lucrative deal with New York’s public pension fund for his then-firm Markstone Capital Partners. blogs.wsj.com/privateequity/…
Preparing to restock the DOJ at the start of the Trump administration, Jeff Sessions sought out Elliott Broidy for recommendations. The Republican donor’s conviction in that political corruption case years earlier didn’t seem to be a problem. propublica.org/article/elliot…
