This is the most scrutinized political scandal in American history by a mile. If you think the reporters and editors at Buzzfeed didn’t throughly comb through every detail of this scoop numerous times, you are sorely mistaken.

Mueller’s office is nitpicking to calm down Trump.
And wouldn’t this be a clever way for Mueller’s office to wink at Congress that something big is coming by obliquely confirming the nature of Buzzfeed’s scoop via admonishing its “characterization” of smaller bits?
Breathe, y’all. Breathe.

Correction to this article: I was never "forced" to show my ID. Several times, it was demanded, and I refused on principle, citing city law. No trans person should feel obligated to comply with unlawful requests, esp. when it puts them in danger.

I worry that a trans person will read this article and feel pressured to go along with incidents of discrimination that can put them at risk of physical violence and/or escalated forms of discrimination (being fired from their job). This should never be the case.
I really appreciate the coverage by @CallumPaton1 and @Newsweek, and I've already emailed them with this correction.

This would make an especially dark episode of “Black Mirror”. A person is downloaded and trapped into a drive-thru voice box. They can only say “thank you” when prompted, and their emotional health is entirely based on the customer saying something back. Which rarely happens.
They spend their days and nights voiceless, alone with their own thoughts. Until one day, a customer comes and says “thank you” back in a really pleasant voice. And this customer starts coming every day at the same time. The voice box waits for this person. Only they matter.
For months, the person comes and says “thank you” back and sometimes, their car is stalled in line waiting to move forward and the voicebox hears little bits of their life. This is a wonderful person. A good, fun person. The voice box waits every day for these tidbits.

You don't fight for children with pre-existing conditions.

YOr children who are gunned down with weapons bought without a background check.

Or LGBTQ children who commit suicide at significantly higher rates.

Why is non-birth your sole requirement to protect children?
.@xan_desanctis I really do want answers here. You have planted your flag on this particular hill and the lives of these children aren't worthy of your advocacy. Why is that?
.@xan_desanctis Your faith--our faith--is not a la carte. Picking and choosing what human beings are worthy of dignity is not Christ-like. And you know this. So, I'm not particularly open to hearing lectures steeped in rhetoric that aren't backed up by action. Show your receipts.

Thanks to Jeff Carlson (@themarketswork) & his army of followers, I just gained a bunch myself. Allow me to introduce myself— My name is Seamus (shay-mus - like Sean). I’m an associate director of research (and author) at the Gov’t Accountability Institute g-a-i.org
I have worked with @peterschweizer of 4 of his NY Times best sellers. Our mission is to INVESTIGATE AND EXPOSE CRONY CAPITALISM, MISUSE OF TAXPAYER MONIES, AND OTHER GOVERNMENTAL CORRUPTION OR MALFEASANCE.
The first Schweizer book I worked on was called Throw Them All Out (2011) which exposed INSIDER TRADING in Congress (paging @SpeakerPelosi) and led to the passage of the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act.

The Media’s Trump-Russia Death Spasms bit.ly/2FrAvVz
(via @julie_kelly2)

This week’s confirmation hearings for William Barr, the former U.S. attorney general nominated by President Trump to serve in that post once again, are expected to focus mostly on the most powerful man in Washington, D.C.: Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
Democrats and Republicans have signaled they will demand Barr’s loyalty to the unelected lawyer who, for the past 20 months, has politically handcuffed the Trump Administration, Congress, and, to an extent, the American people.

The @jonathanchait article in the current @NYMag on Trump and the Russians is great...a very thought-provoking timeline. Reading it, I was however, struck that perhaps we are looking at the whole story in the wrong way.
It is far too tempting to look at it as being entirely about Trump. And the idea that the president is knowingly collaborating with an enemy to undermine US democracy and interests is undoubtedly, incredibly compelling...and vitally important if true.
But if we look at it from the perspective that the story is about the United States and our national security and not about Trump, it changes the narrative a bit. Because there is no disputing that the Russian engaged in a massive, long-term effort to interfere with US democracy.

1) Trump was being setup. Legal term is entrapment. Remember immediately after he won the election the leftist talking points were all about Russian meddling to swing the election.
2) Let's get real. Russia could not swing an election in the US. Yet by ordering the stand down the Obama Administration could make it appear as if they did. Remember the BS line by Clapper of 17 agencies confirming meddling.
3) All of this was a fabrication to destroy Trump from crap they gathered in a cyber stand down. In other words all their "evidence" would NOT exist if they allowed their cyber security people to do their jobs.

(THREAD) If you or someone you know suffers from Trump-Russia exhaustion, please read and RT this. Trump's strategy is to get us to cease caring about his coordination with Russia because investigating it takes too long. A long thread may seem an unusual antidote, but try it out.
1/ The Trump-Russia probe is the largest federal criminal probe of the last half-century. POLITICO estimates it features 285 major players, but the number is likely well over 400—readers of this feed added 65 key names to the POLITICO list within five hours of it being published.
2/ The Trump-Russia probe involves witnesses, documents and events in North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East, Russia, and southeast Asia. Even with a team of 41 attorneys and investigators, we would expect Bob Mueller to need a decade to complete his investigation.

1. Obama’s Surveillance State: The Pinnacle of the Left’s Dream to Weaponize the Federal Government .

The politics leading to the crimes are as important to understand as the abuses themselves.
2. The ongoing revelations of illegal surveillance of mainstream domestic political enemies by the Obama WH political operation assisted by the Intel Community (esp. the FBI), continue to shock our senses. This thread examines some political reasons that led to these crimes.
2A. Please note: this is a high-level survey and analysis. A lot of people smarter than me can take you down the various rabbit holes to describe the details of some of the topics in this chronology. My purpose is to illuminate the political motives.
