This FBI Twitter account has released information at odd times in recent years. Today, it's material on the Kushner Companies.
Before the 2016 elections, the FBI Vault released records that raised eyebrows. But the IG found no wrongdoing
The FBI Vault publishes FOIA requests - why today for this info about Jared Kushner's father is not clear

It looks like Rep Matt Gaetz R-FL has deleted his tweet from yesterday about Michael Cohen
Here's the screenshot of the original tweet, in which Gaetz seemed to threaten to air dirty laundry about Cohen's marriage
Just a few minutes ago at the Cohen hearing, Del Stacey Plaskett D-VI said there should be an Ethics Committee investigation of Gaetz for witness intimidation

Asked if there is other wrongdoing being investigated about President Trump, Cohen says he's been asked by SDNY not to discuss certain issues
Cohen says his original statement to Congress - in which he lied about Trump Tower Moscow - was edited by Trump lawyers including Jay Sekulow
Cohen again testifies that he believes President Trump knew about the Wikileaks DNC release in advance, but not the specific details of those emails

1/ AJC's @bluestein erroneously reports that HD28 and Dan Gasaway's race was the only unsettled race from this election cycle. Not true. The Lt. Gov. race is unsettled and contested in court. See thread. ajc.com/blog/politics/…
2/ Here is the @AJC story on it by @markniesse politics.myajc.com/news/state--re…
3/ And another story from @AJC on the unsettled nature of the contest. politics.myajc.com/blog/politics/…

Okay here we go. Would massively appreciate some RTs on this thread about the #DUP and their stance on people like my fiancé and the love of my life and why they seem to hate us #DUP18
1977 – MP Rev Ian Paisley launches the ‘Save Ulster from Sodomy’ campaign in an effort to retain the ban on homosexuality in Northern Ireland. #DUP18
1982 – #DUP submits a response to the NI Office in respect of the proposed decriminalisation of homosexuality, claiming that The effect of the law as a restraint on bestiality, incest and rape will be further reduced.” #DUP18

Ignore the polls and get out there and #Vote on November 6th. Relying on polling is a relic of a time gone by.
I’m not saying looking at @FiveThirtyEight’s model and charts and stuff isn’t cool, because it is and provides some insight. But no matter what the numbers say, it’s most certainly NEVER an excuse to not #Vote because you feel your peeps are a “lock”
Need nothing further than to point to 2016. Which by the way, @FiveThirtyEight didn’t really have wrong, but the “selected not elected” mindset existed before 2016. Why else would over 100 million people choose NOT to participate in their civic duty to choose their leaders.

My take on the new #omnibus bill, as it relates to #gunviolence:
1) The fixes to NICS (the background check system) are long overdue. I hope that they will be implemented well. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
2) I am glad that Congress clarified what CDC, NIH, and NIJ have long known: the "Dickey amendment" doesn't ban research per se. (Cf this article I wrote with @EmmyBetz & Wintemute 2 years ago: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…)
3) HOWEVER: this clarification does **nothing** to fix the lack of research. We need appropriations. Want to know more about why this clarification is meaningless (and may even be harmful)? Read here: npr.org/sections/healt…

The @NRA & #gun companies are not evil but they are part of the problem. And the amazing thing is: all the folks clamoring to #BoycottNRA don't even know how bad it really is!
5 things the #NRA & gun manufacturers have successfully lobbied to create...
1) Background chk system overseen by the ATF that is forbidden to digitize records & so must keep all records on paper
2) BG chk system that is enormously hobbled at ATF bec of extreme funding shortages so that it can't do its job well & so that the NRA can claim it doesn't work
3) Passage of the #Dickey Amendment that forbids gov't research from reaching conclusions that might be construed as advocating for gun control, thus allowing the #NRA to say, "No studies show..." and leaving legislators with no data to back up laws that might work
