"The caliphate has crumbled and ISIS has been defeated," Pence says in speech to diplomats, hours after ISIS claims responsibility for a deadly blast in Syria, blamed for multiple US casualties.

How does one seriously still deliver this speech only hours after the attack?
Add...
WH official on Pence speech i.e. "the caliphate has crumbled and ISIS has been defeated" from earlier today: "The White House hadn't publicly confirmed the deaths at the time he spoke."

This is a lie.

The VP’s Press Secretary knew...

Day 271 since Trump began forcibly separating immigrant children from their families.

As of 12/21/2018 according to Trump admin:

➡️ 161 of 2,816 *separated kids* still in custody.
Add...
FYI: The Trump admin has quietly resumed separating immigrant families at the border.

At one agency, the children were put into temporary foster care and shelters with little or no indication that they arrived at the border with their parents: propub.li/2QcsPvY
Add...
Reminder: The Trump administration is systematically locking up thousands of children at unheard of rates - now almost 15,000 are in U.S. custody.

The government classifies these children as "unaccompanied"

Add...
A source familiar with U.S./North Korea denuclearization talks says Pyongyang’s top negotiator and ex-spy chief Kim Yong Chol will be carrying a new letter from Kim Jong Un to Donald Trump when he arrives in Washington on Thursday.

Great, another oversized love letter.
Add...
The planned Thursday arrival was first reported by @kylieatwood, citing US sources, who expect Kim Yong Chol to hold meetings on Friday with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and, possibly, Donald Trump.

Probably ordered by Putin to help change the news cycle.
Add...
Day 149 since Trump was implicated as an unindicted co-conspirator in violating federal campaign finance laws to keep affairs quiet.

Add...
Day 41 since US Justice Department prosecutors say Trump committed a felony

Yet, no subpoena, no indictment, no impeachment

One must ask. Is Trump above the law?

@tomfriedman: I don’t think Trump ever took civics. I don’t think he ever understood the meaning of independent agencies.

That’s why the #TrumpShutdown doesn’t bother him. His instincts are those of a banana republic dictator.

Pelosi calls SOTU a security issue, says Trump can deliver it "from the Oval Office if he wants"
Add...
Pelosi is right to say NO to Trump's speech. Holding it now would convey that things are normal. But they aren't. The shutdown, the wall, the lying -- this is a civic emergency.

The answer is: No, we're not doing this. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/…
