1. Ivanka Trump, who enthusiastically supported a $1 trillion corporate tax cut, now wants working parents to pay for their own family leave by cannibalizing their Social Security benefits popular.info/p/ivanka-takes…
2. The premise of this plan is that people have excess money for retirement that can be easily reprogrammed for paid family leave.

For most people not named Ivanka Trump this is not the case popular.info/p/ivanka-takes…
3. In return for making parents chose between spending time with their newborns and their retirement benefits, Ivanka would like to known as a forward-looking champion of women and families

1. Today seems like a good day to remember all the women who have accused Trump of sexual assault.

Just because he became president doesn't make their stories any less important
2. Ninni Laaksonen, former Miss Finland. “Trump stood right next to me and suddenly he squeezed my butt” in July 2006.
3. Jessica Drake. Said Trump grabbed and kissed her without consent, then offered her 10K for sex in 2006.

1. Serial child abusers can't operate alone. They need people to protect them.

Alex Acosta, who is currently Trump's Secretary of Labor, helped protect Jeffrey Epstein from the consequences of sexually abusing dozens (maybe hundreds) of teen girls

2. As U.S. Attorney in Miami, Acosta could have put Epstein away for life. Instead, he agreed not to prosecute Epstein in exchange for him pleading guilty to two prostitution counts.

Epstein's victims were not prostitutes. They were girls.

3. Epstein ended up serving 13 months. But most of that time wasn't even spent behind bars. He was allowed to spend 12 hours a day in a luxury office he set up on "work release." This was allowed even though sex offenders aren't eligible for work release

1. There is an aspect of the media coverage in North Carolina election fraud scandal that is very troubling.

I gave the reporter involved, @NickOchsnerWBTV, a chance to explain but he's not getting back to me.

But people need to know about what happened.
@NickOchsnerWBTV 2. One of the key interviews of the campaign was when @NickOchsnerWBTV interviewed Lisa Britt, one of the people in Dowless' operation, on December 12.

In the interview Britt denied she had been paid to collect ballots & denied doing anything illegal.

3. Later, when Britt talked to the committee she admitted that yes, Dowless had paid her to collect ballots, which is against the law.

She explained that she lied during the interview because IT TOOK PLACE IN DOWLESS' KITCHEN WITH DOWLESS PRESENT newsobserver.com/news/politics-…

BLUF:
💥 There is a direct connection between the #Solntsevskaya Mafia and @IvankaTrump. Dasha #ZHUKOVA's father Alexander #ZHUKOV is KEY. 💥

The lede has been buried by way of incomplete reporting.

Let's connect the dots. #MOB
Ivanka Trump is a longtime friend of Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich's ex-wife Dasha Zhukova. Dasha is friends with Josh and Jared Kushner as well.
Supposedly, their introduction was made by the #spy for foreign intelligence Wendi Deng Murdoch.

Millions of men and women across the country don’t have access to #PaidFamilyLeave, meaning they could be forced to choose between taking care of a child or loved one and losing their paycheck, or even their job
Any family leave proposal that cuts social security benefits or excludes family and military caregiving is not #RealPaidLeave
Hardworking ppl deserve the #FAMILYAct – the only #PaidFamilyLeave proposal that covers every working American w/o excluding medical leave or military caregiver leave,&it doesn’t speed up Social Security’s insolvency like a proposal some colleagues support thehill.com/policy/finance…

At 3:55 PM (EEST), #USA - #France - #UK start their tripple aggression on #Syria|n Arab Republic by launching 103 missiles from sea & air, most of them (71 missiles) were shot down by #Syria|n Arab Air Defense units. (14 April 2018)
One building of 1st official target (map) was hit & damaged by hostile missiles from Triple Aggressors (#USA - #UK - #France).

#Syria|n Arab Air Defense units successfully jammed away hostile missiles from rest of official targets in #Homs countryside. (14 April 2018)
There is no truth to enemy media that claim #Syria|n Republican Guard base (104th or 105th Brigade) on Mt #Qasioun was hit by hostile missiles from Tripple Aggressors (#UK - #USA - #France).

Greetings from #SRG soldiers that confirm everything is fine at that base. #DAMASCUS

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
