Like quite a few folks at this packed Manchester house party, I can’t see Booker deliver his pitch — I can hear him. And he adds a new quip about bipartisanship as the doorbell rings. “If that’s Chuck Grassley, let him in!”
Booker again offers a NH voter a pragmatic view of Medicare for All, B. He tells a NH voter that — his strong support aside — he wants to offer a “hard truth” that “we are going to need” 60+ votes in the Senate, which won’t be an easy task.
Memorable cameo appearances in Booker’s stump speech, based on this weekend so far:
- Grassley
- former Sen. Joe Donnelly (D-IN)
- former President George W. Bush (specifically, his reported quip dubbing Trump’s inaugural speech “some weird sh*t”).
Always look up when you’re at a cafe working furiously on a story. The candidate you’re in town to cover (Booker, today) might suddenly stop in.

Senior Senate Dem aide tells me there's a concern the GOP is "now releasing anonymous allegations in an effort to make all allegations look frivolous. We’re focusing on the ones that have names attached."
Senate Judiciary Rs have now released the anonymous 4th complaint -- noting this: "We have no reason to assign the letter credibility, and even if we did, we’d have no way to investigate the allegation as it was made anonymously and cannot be corroborated."
Senate Judiciary Rs release a Kavanaugh investigative summary that includes:

-an anonymous claim of rape fwded by Harris’ office
-two intvus & a written statement from a man “who believes he, not” Kav, assaulted Ford in 1982
-phone intvu w/a 2nd man who believes same as above

(THREAD) This person has hate-read my feed via a dummy account for a year-plus. She has 100,000 YouTube followers and uses my name to raise cash. Real-time test: to see if I can find 100 lies in her 23-minute video to make a point about far-right grifters.
1/ I don't care about this person; I assume her name is fake and for the purposes of this real-time test I watched 60 seconds of this video to gauge if a random big number I came up with (100) was a reasonable test of how many lies she tells. The purpose of this exercise is this:
2/ I want media to see how badly misinformed the Right has become about the Mueller probe and take at least a little responsibility for it—as people like "Tracey Beanz" do claim to read major media. I also want to show how when major-media misreports, these people are emboldened.

Repost: I am not the author of this but it needs to be seen.
"I am a citizen of Charlottesville and yesterday was a horrible day for my city. The news outlets have it all wrong.
This whole march was started by the city's vice mayor and the city council. The vice mayor
who is a racist black man ( google Wes Bellamy and read his hate statements towards white people and women) who decided to try to make a name for himself by removing a historical statue of Robert E Lee. He wants to erase history.
After the citizens of Charlottesville voiced
their opinion that the statue should stay Wes Bellamy kept pushing the issue. These are the facts. This has nothing to do with Trump.
Wes Bellamy and the city council brought this mess upon our city. Race relations here have been set back 60 years.
BLM is to the black community

Some further reflections on today’s Russia sanctions: (1) Putin will be pissed off since these go after key oligarchs & enablers with personal ties to the Kremlin; (2) these sanctions target their companies too, which packs a bigger punch than just individuals. <THREAD 1/9>
Putin’s key enablers are here:
-Viktor Zolotov, head of Putin’s praetorian guard
-Nikolai Patrushev, Putin’s KGB buddy and national security advisor
-Vladimir Bogdanov, rumored to manage Putin’s wealth <2/9>
Or take Evgeniy Shkolov, who’s almost unheard of but is key to doing Putin’s dirty work. See below 👇<3/9>
