THREAD ⬇️ 118 million midterm votes have been certified, meaning that more than half of eligible Americans cast a ballot. That’s the highest turnout in a midterm election in a century.

Here's what that turnout actually looked like
Voter turnout increased in House races across the country from 2014 to 2018, and the vast majority shifted left
The president’s party typically loses seats in midterms. Trump saw House Republicans lose a net of 40 seats in 2018 even as they gained 2 in the Senate.

Democrats lost a net of 63 seats in 2010 when the GOP took control of the House in the first election after Obama took office

A year after the middle class tax cut, the rich are winning. Here's how
The promise: The wealthy won't benefit.

Trump: "The rich will not be gaining at all with this plan."

That's false. On average, in 2018, taxes declined for everyone, but top groups got the biggest benefit
The promise: Middle class will be the biggest beneficiaries.

Trump: "Our framework ensures that the benefits of tax reform go to the middle class, not to the highest earners."

False: Families earning $200K-$1M will see a 9% drop, 1 point more than families earning $75K-$100K

Now that Turkish officials have pledged that they'll release evidence (including video footage, focus on black car) that they say supports the claim that @JKhashoggi was killed shortly after entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, let's see what the #OSINT community can find.
A request to look at openly tracked flights from Istanbul to Saudi Arabia, or the other way around, has led to no results so far, but who knows what can still be found.
We've been looking at publicly available webcams around the perimeters of the Saudi consulate (h/t @evaludemann), but no webcam has been found. Here's the location: google.com/maps/place/Con…. Pakistani consulate surely has camera footage, but will they publish it?

Today’s hearing is about to begin. Courtroom is quiet.
There are related cases across the country, looping in via telephone conference.

“All rise”

Attorneys introduce. We begin.
Furman says he’s apprised of the status of the litigation in California and Maryland. There may be a suit pending in Alabama, but it’s not directly bearing on citizenship question, the govt says.

🔥🔥🔥🔥URGENT 🔥🔥🔥Yesterday I consolidated my older and newest research on RU Special Forces Sleeper Cells (Spetsnaz)- On Tge Ground In US into a Twitter Moment and within seconds, ALL my Moments were labeled “sensitive”- no matter the subject matter.👇cont...👇
At first, I thought it might be the cover photo so I edited my Moment - but that didn’t solve the problem - and besides, my other Moments are different content so I really don’t think that was the issue. If you are following you know I had a serious hack w threats about one topic
I have archived my Twitter Moments and accounts because I have known for a few weeks that the heat was turned up. All of us knew that as Mueller moved closer to Trump we would be more at risk... It’s not just me- it’s a lot of the researchers that have touched a nerve..
