Kansas City Star: #Kobach promised cities help. It cost them millions — and powered his political rise kansascity.com/news/politics-…
"#Kobach used his work in Valley Park to attract other clients, with sometimes disastrous effects on the municipalities.... Farmers Branch, Texas, wound up owing $7 million in legal bills..." kansascity.com/news/politics-…
What's missing from this story is our investigatrix Badpenny’s crucial finding — as featured in The Best Democracy Money Can Buy — that $100,000 of the money paid to #KrisKobach by Farmers Branch, TX came from the #Kochs via several shell foundations. amazon.com/Best-Democracy…

No one knew who #JuanGuaidó was — including 80 precent of Venezuelans — when he declared himself president. But he got the one vote that counts in #Venezuela, Donald Trump's. #HandsOffVenezuela
And when I say Donald Trump, Trump doesn't know Juan Guaidó from a hole in the wall. It's John Bolton and Elliott Abrams. Bolton is Trump's National Security Advisor, he's the guy who sold us the war in Iraq. salon.com/2018/03/23/tru…
And Elliott Abrams, our Special Representative for #Venezuela, was convicted of crimes for his role in the Iran-Contra scandal. theguardian.com/us-news/2019/j… #HandsOffVenezuela

According to Secretary of Commerce, Wilbur Ross' own experts, the inclusion of the citizenship question will result in a loss of 6.5 million Americans from the census #Census2020
Why is the #Census2020 citizenship question so dangerous? According to a memorandum to Eric Holder from the Justice Department, under Section 215 of the Patriot Act, census information can be used for investigating non-U.S. persons. #Census2020
It goes beyond ICE. #KKKobach has been up front about why he wants the citizenship question on #Census202. In fact, they used it in court... They said, we need this question to enforce the Voting Rights Act and the National Voter Registration Act.

Kris Kobach’s #Crosscheck voter purge program is inherently racist. Under the guise of catching so-called double voters, it crudely matches the first and last names of voters across states. kboo.fm/media/72437-gr… #VoterSuppression #ElectionFraud
U.S. Census data shows that minorities are overrepresented in 85 of 100 of the most common last names. rollingstone.com/politics/polit…
And now #KrisKobach is trying to add a citizenship question to the US #Census2020 that could result in even more legal minority voters being illegally purged from the rolls and/or deterred from voting. gregpalast.com/kris-kobachs-b… #InterstateCrosscheck #Census #VoterSuppression

A comparative approach to SWM privilege and for those who've not actually compared resumes...
For fairness, I used same source for all candidates I profiled (VoteSmart)
IMO, one candidate is far above the others (@CoryBooker), but definitely @KamalaHarris makes the cut.
Here is @CoryBooker's bio page

1) Hillary Clinton on Jews.
2) “Hillary routinely referred to Jews as either ‘fuckin’ Jew bastards’ or ‘stupid kikes.’” blogs.timesofisrael.com/hillarys-top-a…

3) “When Bill lost the 1974 race for Congress, Hillary turned on his campaign manager and called him a ‘fuckin’ Jew bastard.’”

Thread. "Kris Kobach, Kansas’s top election official, recently declared victory in the highly publicized Republican gubernatorial primary in Kansas, surpassing his opponent (sitting Gov. Jeff Colyer) by about 300 votes." via @tytinvestigates tytnetwork.com/2018/08/17/kob… 1/
2/ "At 9 p.m. on August 7, election day, with 10 of Johnson County’s precincts reporting (and just one other, smaller county left to report), Colyer led Kobach by 44 votes in the state and by 13 percent in the county."
3/ "But at 9:07 p.m., a reporter for the Kansas City Star posted that Johnson County would not display further results for at least two hours due to a 'computer glitch.'"
