1/Questions abt socialism and Trump: 1) Has any modern US President been so willing to challenge free market orthodoxy? Weaken global free trade system? Intervene vs American companies? Act in such a fiscally reckless manner?
2/Second q: are Trump and Rs really condemning Maduro for his attack on democracy, authoritarianism? What abt Trump's embrace of mass murderers, sadists, dictators? His attacks on free press, independent judiciary, leg branch; his corruption, nepotism, disregard of dem norms?
3/Isn't it true that Trump is more like Maduro than any other figure in the West? Disregard for free market orthodoxy, picking corp winners/losers, attacks on democratic institutions here in the US, alignment w/anti-American global forces?
4/Trump is the most ideological extreme figure in modern US history, and perhaps all of our history; he is already doing much of what he/GOP allege Maduro/socialists want to do. Trump and the Rs are the ones making the US Venezuela. GOP argument sophomoric, ahistorical, stupid.

1/Want to come back to something @glennkirschner2 has been writing and talking about for months - the crimes committed in 2016 were different, and require sustained Congressional attention. What happens when a President cheats his way to the White House?
2/As @glennkirschner2 has pointed out our system cannot look the other way if a huge, successful effort to break US election laws took place. Failure to examine, failure to prosecute, failure to respond creates an incentive for others to do so in the future.
3/Russia probe has to be seen in this context, as part of a grand conspiracy by Trump to cheat in 2016. This thread goes thru it- NRA, Foundation, Russia, illegal hush money.

1/A thread abt the investigation into Russia's attack on America in 2016, & why the goal of finding collusion between Trump & Russia while important isn't all that matters. Let's focus on what we already know for a bit, as this AP piece does so well. apnews.com/2b8513d4a4224a…
2/First, and most importantly, the US was attacked by perhaps our most consequential enemy in 2016, and through this attack helped ensure the narrow victory of their choice for US President. wsj.com/articles/donal… That this happened is not open to debate.
3/Trump's gone to extraordinary lengths to hide his connections to Russia, impede what may be most important US investigation in our history. He still hasn't sat for an intv; prevented a bipartisan 9/11 commission; fired critical leaders of DOJ/FBI. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Fellow Dems we need to have a conversation abt what happened here. Did a Dem group really edit this down in way which altered the true nature of the exchange? If so isn’t this disinformation, dirty tricks? Is that who we are? Imp conversation to have as we get ready for 2020.
2/This new info age requires us to create new norms, groundrules. Why I am pushing a pact/pledge for the 2020 Dems/DNC/State Parties on disinfo, hacking. Dems shouldn't be using illicit campaign tactics vs one another (or at all). ndn.org/blog/2019/02/n…
3/DNC has leverage here. Could require the 2020s to agree to a disinfo/hacking pact, and things like a requirement to support the nominee no matter who wins, to be on the debate stage later this year.

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.
3/n

"Trump has used Harley-Davidson as an example of a US business that is being harmed by trade barriers. Yet Harley has warned consistently against tariffs, saying they would negatively impact sales"

Harley, hit by tariffs, shifts some production overseas apnews.com/6c8942f7363743…
Important issue highlighted by @riotwomennn: are tariff exemptions determined by bribes?

Corker: "22,000 companies have asked for exemptions.There is no basis to deal with them. Are they going to grant these exclusions based on political contributions?"
Trump’s trade war with the European Union is going to cost Harley-Davidson as much as $100 million a year and force the manufacturer to shift production out of the U.S. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

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.
