Can confirm the same is true in America, @cazjwheeler @RosamundUrwin. Bercow’s been interviewed on CNN and profiled in New York Times since the turn of the year.
Coverage tends to be glowing.

“The man who reigns over chaos in the House of Commons”, CNN.

“John Bercow, Shouting for ‘Order’ Amid Chaos, Is Brexit’s Surprise Star and Villain”, NY Times.

BREAKING: White House whistleblower reveals 25 officials denied security clearance had decision overturned under Trump.

Reasons for initial denials include foreign influence, drugs and criminality. Two are now senior staff.

Key claims from Tricia Newbold below. Explosive stuff.
Newbold has spent 18 years working in the executive office of the president, serving both Republican and Dem administrations.

She is still working at White House, in position of Adjudications Manager in the Personnel Security Office.
Newbold: "I would not be doing a service to myself, my country, or my children if I sat back knowing that the issues that we have could impact national security."

Quick thoughts on Mueller report

1/ No more indictments = good new for White House. All that talk of other members of Trump world getting hit by Mueller is done.
2/ A massive row with Congress is coming. Democrats will want the underlying evidence sitting below the report. Whatever Attorney General hands over is unlikely to be enough.
3/ This Is Not The End. While Mueller is done, other federal prosecutors continue to investigate. NY looking at hush money payments, insurance schemes. Those lines of inquiry are independent of Mueller.

Trump has appeared to scrap sanctions his own admin brought in just 24 hours ago. Bolton had praised the "important actions", Mnuchin said it would deter "illicit trade". Like governing through the looking glass.
This whole episode will reinforce suspicion that Trump’s negotiators can’t really speak for him in talks - which makes getting progress tricky.(Why believe what they say at the table if no guarantee the president agrees.)
Working theory - Trump has seen Pyongyang’s actions today (walking out of inter-Korean liaison office) and decided to deescalate.

"The group also feeds information to FBI and congressional investigators, and then tells reporters that authorities are investigating those leads. The tactic adds credibility to TDIP’s pitches, luring big media outlets to bite on stories."

Same old song

Fusion GPS lackeys are sending weekly updates to the New York Times, Washington Post, Buzzfeed, ProPublica, McClatchy, CNN and MSNBC.

No wonder they are still pushing the stupid collusion stuff every day. Our biggest news outlets are literally still just Fusion GPS mouthpieces.
And this is funded by people including Rob Reiner and George Soros lol.

Literally you can't make up how fake and corrupt our media is.

A mostly overlooked article in the New York Times appeared in December of last year. I would recommend everyone read it.

I will highlight several parts in this thread and add some background.

Ye Jianming is a mystery, even within his native China.

The Chinese news service Caixin investigated his background and could not even confirm his real name.

Trump's Billings, Montana campaign rally is scheduled for 9 PM Eastern. I'll tweet tweets in this thread.
Trump does an especially slow walk to the microphone, soaking in the adulation.
Trump recites a list of claimed accomplishments: a strong economy, low unemployment, "crushing" terrorists, "America is being respected again."

#ConCon 101
The concept of a Constitutional Convention is foreign to many people. Understandable, since we've only had one in the entire history of the United States and it produced The Constitution. So I thought I'd write this thread to try make it understandable to everyone.
For anyone who doesn't want to or doesn't have the time to read this whole thread, I am also posting ConCon 101 EZ and ConCon 101 EZ+ which are much quicker. The purpose of this thread? #NoConCon
To convince you how vital it is for our country's future to oppose ANY state resolutions for ANY type of #ConCon. They are all dangerous for Democrats. #NoConCon
