Read about Lori and Toni here: motherjones.com/politics/2018/…
It seems very possible that at least one and probably two black women are going to be in the runoff for Chicago mayor. A first no matter what.
Bill Daley may be the best of the Daley’s but keep it.
Anyway, your backgrounder on Lori Lightfoot and Toni Preckwinkle here motherjones.com/politics/2018/…
Chicago hasn’t had a black mayor since Harold Washington, whose reforms were blocked by 29 racist Aldermen. It hasn’t had a woman mayor since Jane Byrne, who famously failed the snow clearing test. This will be big if these tallies hold

Glad @KFILE is going to dig up all of @MarkMeadows birther and other racist statement, but make no mistake, it is long since clear that the Tea Party movement has nothing to do with smaller government. It was about smaller government for “those people.” It was and is racist.
Oh tampabay.com/florida-politi…
Meadows made up academic credentials? Shocked

I would just like to underline that today’s hearing exposed a bunch of Reps to be utter dottards. Go get those seats folks.
No district deserves to be represented by somebody as dumb (and also corrupt and racist) as Clay Higgins.
On the flip side I admired the questions of two women I didn’t know much about before today @RepLawrence and @StaceyPlaskett

10 Minutes a Day #KAMALA2020 🍩 🏳️‍🌈 🐝
@10MinutesaDay4U
I want to talk ab @KamalaHarris & some of the attacks I’ve been hearing. (1). I hear she’s “not progressive enough.” This is patently false. She’s 1 of the most progressive ppl in all of Congress—after a 4-way tie for 1st, it’s her of 535 ppl. #Kamala2020 progressivepunch.org/scores.htm?hou…
2/I hear “Kamala’s a cop.” I find that troubling on many levels. Being in law enforcement doesn’t, in itself, isn’t bad. Police saved my life when I was attacked by an abusive ex. Kamala understood years ago that it’s not that POC don’t want police, but: c-span.org/video/?c462585…
3/That video is from 2006, & she made an important point—POC DO want law enforcement—they just don’t want to be profiled or abused by the police. That’s a very forward way of thinking, & it gels w what many critical race theorists have said. #Kamala2020

How Obama tried to interfere in the 2016 Presidential election by trying to manipulate @realDonaldTrump during the campaign. This is some devious shit right here. Hang on, these quotes are from todays #motherJones and @DavidCornDC article from today.
motherjones.com/politics/2019/…
1. During the last 5 months of the 2016 Presidential campaign Trump joked about the Clinton emails that where missing. He also was using that as a devestating talking point to show Clinton cant be trusted. It was killing HRC election chances. So how would HRC/Obama counter that
2. Obama had hackers (crowdstrike) leak the DNC emails. Then Obamas IC gave 45 a private briefing in mid-August 2016 in which Trump was told that Putin’s regime was behind the Russian attack. Obama wanted Trump to echo that Russia was behind it during his campaign speeches.

"In late 2016, as Trump was readying to move into the WH, Elliott Broidy...was working on a deal to gain control of what a biz partner called “billions...in oil & gas, and mining assets” in ANGOLA." h/t @Klickedy

motherjones.com/politics/2018/…
"Broidy used his clout to hook up top Angolan gov't ofcls w/members of the US Congress & the Trump admin. It was a swampy endeavor involving old-fashioned political influence, a BH activist/realtor, & a Nigerian American businessman who had been a close friend of Michael Jackson"
"Broidy is no longer a power player wielding sway in the Republican cosmos. Early this yr, he faced a series of media stories that raised questions about his biz dealings (which includ'd ventures w/the gov'ts of SA, the UAE, Romania, & Repub of Congo) & allegd influence peddling"

ATTENTION MIKE PENCE: The most conservative jurist of my lifetime, Robert Bork—the one man willing to help Nixon obstruct justice by firing the man investigating him—wrote that a VP CAN be indicted in office and NOTHING from DOJ has changed that since '73. nytimes.com/1973/10/06/arc…
2/ Unless the ENTIRE Presidential Transition Team AND Trump lied to Mike Pence about Flynn's activities from December 29, 2016 to February 16, 2017—a period of 50 days—Pence lied to CBS.

If he repeats that lie to Mueller, he'll face a federal felony for Making False Statements.
3/ And if Pence lies to Mueller and faces a federal felony for Making False Statements, he WILL be indicted ASAP. There will be no delay, no impeachment proceedings, no constitutional debates.

All guidance from DOJ from '73 onward would give Mueller the ability to charge Pence.
