1/ Trump and Nixon both threatened Congress that investigation would hurt legislative goals and economic growth. Both are wrong. Investigations lead to truth and that makes democracy stronger, not weaker. I saw it then and it's still true now.
2/ The only question is whether it will be the Mueller investigation, the SDNY investigations, the emoluments case of the MD and DC AGs, or the NY AG's investigations of the Trump Org, Foundation and Inaugural Cmtee that hurts Trump, his family and administration the most.

1/ I'll be watching Barr's testimony with skepticism because of his avowed extreme views of executive power and his 20 page volunteered memo with it's misleading and unfounded assumptions & legal analysis. In the era of Trump, expanding executive power is particularly dangerous.
2/ In addition, Barr's prepared remarks do not allay my concerns. While he says Mueller should be allowed to finish his investigation, he does not say Mueller will be free to take any actions Mueller believes justified. He could bar indictments or full disclosure of crimes.
3/ I hope the Democrats will be strong in insisting that Barr give Mueller protections like those Cox had during Watergate. They were essential to fair completion of our Watergate work.

Hope you'll join me tonight with @Lawrence on @TheLastWord on #MSNBC at 9 pm CT. #JillsPin is a Trump/Pinocchio Puppet. I'm hoping @washingtonpost doesn't have to add any more special Pinocchio ratings for 45 in this new year.
I loved the pin for its double meaning: Trump as a liar and a puppet. Whose puppet do you think he is?
Clearly both is the write-in winner.

With a caravan of migrants arriving at our border soon seeking refuge from the dangers of their countries, it's important to know that there is no evidence that any are other than seekers of safety in the US.

We should only ask: Who can claim asylum?

Here's the answer:
International law since the end of World War II says anyone who makes it to the border of a foreign country has a right to request asylum.
If the country finds you meet the definition of a refugee, it is obligated to shelter you.
That means the claims of all the migrants in the caravan should be evaluated, and not met with guns aimed at them by US soldiers as 45 is threatening to stop them from reaching the U.S.

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.

2.#Finkelstein was very involved in #Trump´s campaign in 2016, but is hardly mentioned in the press, why?

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
