1. Can we talk about @redlobster?

Dozens of corporations stopped advertising on Tucker Carlson after he said immigrants made America "dirtier"

Now Carlson is arguing there's a moral responsibility to pay women less than men.

@redlobster is one of the few corps sticking w/him
@redlobster 2. The president of @redlobster is Salli Setta. She's on the board of the Women's Foodservice Forum (@WFFHQ).

@WFFHQ is dedicated to "galvanizing the Food Industry" to become "one of the first industries to close the gender gap"

Why is @redlobster sticking with Tucker Carlson?
3. Corporations like @redlobster want to develop a reputation for being socially conscious. Its president is devoted to gender equality. Kudos.

But the power of corporations comes from how they use their resources.

1. Trump appears edging toward declaring a "national emergency" and attempting to unilaterally build the wall.

This could backfire spectacularly.

Let's review.

popular.info/p/the-authorit…
2. Under the National Emergencies Act of 1976, if Trump declares a national emergency to build the wall, the House could immediately pass a resolution to rescind it.

The Senate would then need to vote on the House's resolution within 18 days.

3. So it would require 50 Republican Senators to vote to undermine and subvert their own legislative authority.

This seems unlikely.

On the other hand, Republicans in the Senate have been generally unwilling to stand up to Trump

Trump, according to Schumer, threatened to keep the gov't closed for years unless he gets his wall.

Hundreds of thousands of government employees are not getting paid.

Trump, who has never had to live paycheck-to-paycheck, is oblivious to the cruelty

After @Bucks guard #SterlingBrown was taken down & shocked with a Taser, one officer stepped on his ankle, another relished in the overtime, and several seemed to realize the PR problem they had, additional body cam and squad car videos show.

goo.gl/BmEdb5
Video shows how officers continued to surround #SterlingBrown after he was on the ground handcuffed.

"You're stepping on my ankle, for what?" Brown is heard saying.

goo.gl/xE6yqb
Later, after #SterlingBrown was loaded into an ambulance, video shows one officer calling a shift commander on the phone to request approval for overtime.

After a pause, the officer sang "money money" in the tune of the hit song from The O'Jays.

And who said: "unconditional direct income support to farmers is manifestly absurd in today’s world when it maintains uncompetitive farming practices that have negative implications for the climate, the environment or people’s health"?

#New PA cong. map increases D chance of winning the House majority by 4%. They only need a 6.8% generic ballot margin now (down from 7.7) to be favored.

Diff. will be closer to 10% in Nov when uncertainty from polls is ⬇️. Redraw is a very big deal.

One major reason the new PA map is such a big gain for Democrats is that it solidifies, not just tips, PA districts in Philly burbs. Also creates one additional vulnerable R district. (Easily seen in this map made by @JMilesColeman)
My forecasting model will have new PA map in the near future. This is not just a simple switch; it’s a coding redesign, restructuring of input, & drawing new geographic files. Takes a while (for me, a student).

In the meantime, just add 3-4% to the model: bit.ly/2018_house
