NEW: More Trump State of the Union extracts are out.

He'll pledge cross-party approach.

"The agenda I will lay out this evening is not a Republican Agenda or a Democrat Agenda. It is the agenda of the American People."
Trump will also double down on Syria withdrawal by the looks of it: "Great nations do not fight endless wars."
And for all the bipartisan briefing Trump will take a swipe at opponents of his wall.

"Wealthy politicians and donors push for open borders while living their lives behind walls and gates and guards."

Just been in a briefing on next week’s North Korean summit. Senior US admin officials say agreeing definition for denuclearisation, freezing nuclear programs + agreeing a road map are among priorities.
Officials say that progress stalled last Nov / Dec, with talks entering a "holding pattern". Unclear why, possibly "internal issues" in Pyongyang. But engagement back with "full force" from late December.
No details yet on format for Trump-Kim meeting in Vietnam, but likely to be similar to Singapore - a one-on-one, a shared meal, talks with the wider teams.

No one can accuse Bernie of holding back. This, on Trump, from his video launch.

“We are running against a president who is a pathological liar, a fraud, a racist, a sexist, a xenophobe + someone who is undermining American democracy as he leads us in an authoritarian direction"
Worth watching Bernie's full 10-minute campaign pitch. Unlike rivals he's got a policy platform he's been honing for years and which 13m Democrats got behind three years ago.
The ‘powerful special interests’ Bernie pledges to take on: Wall St, health insurance firms, drug companies, fossil fuel industry, military industrial complex, private prisons and "large multinational corporations".

EXC: Britain + Europe risk Isil attacks on home soil unless they prosecute fighters from their own countries, America is warning.

Senior US officials fear some of the 800 detained johadists will soon be free unless allies put them on trial.

Full story: telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/02/1…
There is palpable frustration in the Trump administration at UK refusing to prosecute captured Isil fighters who come from Britain.

One well-placed US source said the UK stance was effectively “leave them at large and hope they don’t find a way back”.
US officials believe time is running out. The caliphate will be defeated any moment now. That is the cue for Trump to claim victory and withdraw troops. They could be out of Syria by April, just 7 weeks away.

Twitter released the tweets of another 418 russian accounts on January 31.
I'm going to use this thread to take a look at the information they gave us about these accounts.
And talk about other bots and trolls you can find using this data.
blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/c…
Of the 418 accounts 1 was a double, @CovfefeNationUS it was already included in the last batch of accounts.
One was not actually suspended until I reminded them.
2 of them had active backup accounts at the time of publication of the data.
around 320 of the accounts I had tweeted about a lot. So i'm not going to bother going back over them.
I found them right after NBC put out the 1st batch of tweets from the russian trolls.
They were bots, and most of the data about what they did is unavailable.

“Friend,

Even before the State of the Union Address, Cryin’ Chuck and Democrats criticized President Trump’s speech.

During his historic State of the Union Address he had a very clear message for Democrats like Cryin’ Chuck, who only obstruct:”
“‘Victory is not winning for our party, victory is winning for our country.’

It’s called AMERICA FIRST!

Here are some of the highlights from last night’s historic State of the Union Address:”

Who funds the IEA, the TPA, the ASI &co?
You know, the RW 'free trade' thick tanks advocating tax havens, "freedom" (no regulations like workers' rights or environmental protection), no welfare (no tax & no free healthcare).
Basically, "Only the wealthier survive" philosophy?
1/n
*Could it be* that it has something to do with defending their funders' interests?
Today, I'm going to tell you the Thick Tanks' Hydra tale.
Featuring Atlas, huge piles of money, tradition, "free speech", useful idiots and a very clear agenda that Brexit/Trump are a part of.
2/n
Take a seat: It's a long story, with a lot of players, including politicians, pretty ladies squatting your TV, the climate change denial's network, the global fascist movement, Silicon Valley/multiname data-stealing/misusing company & private companies' involved in elections.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full

#Trump used the same trick as George W did in Florida. By removing voters of color in 28 states, Trump supposedly won the electoral college.
