Total surprise that CAP is such a rotted, corrupted, soulless organization with such sober, noble and stable leadership like this nytimes.com/2019/04/15/us/…
If you want to know why the establishment wing of the Democratic Party is what is it, just look at the character, funding & orientation of its leading think tank, Center for American Progress. Great to see it getting the critical attention it's long needed nytimes.com/2019/04/15/us/…
The NYT publishes the backstory on Neera Tanden's shameful and humiliating giggling session with Netanyahu () - it was done to secure large funding from a major pro-Israel donor, and it worked, as she celebrated with a "smiley emoji face" to John Podesta:

I've honestly never seen the type of media meltdown that I'm seeing on CNN. They are so emotionally invested in the storyline that they've been pushing for 2+ years and they know what Mueller did to it and how this will forever reflect on them.
CNN has 8 people talking about this & they all vehemently agree with one another on every last thing. This has been a major part of the problem from the start. All humans are more likely to err or worse if they are insulated from challenge or dissent. It's inherently corrupting:
I'm almost feeling sorry for the CNN panel. They are really hurt and are not even hiding it. Just live up to what you've done.

The way they're pretending collusion was just some ancillary, trivial matter all along reminds me of how Tony Blair, to this day, insists the Iraq War was never about WMDs but liberating the Iraqi People from a Bad Dictator. People don't forget 2+ years of COLLUSION! hysteria:
This is what started all of this - from August, 2016. Everything grew out of these conspiracy narratives. It's time to find out if they were true. That's what the Mueller investigation at its core was always designed to do. So revealing how so many want to avoid the core issue:
The whole point, all along, was this, and everyone knows that:

The Mueller Report undoubtedly contains information revealing how the US spies on Russia.

If Barr released it all unredacted, they'd accuse him of treason & helping Russia.

With redactions, they'll claim the proof they were right all along is hidden under the black boxes.
Mueller's findings on the 2 conspiracy theories that started this - 1) Trump conspired with Russia & 2) Trump is captive to Putin - will be in the Report. It will say the opposite of what Dems/CIA/NBC spent 2+ years claiming. That's why they'll talk about everything but that.
Agree with it or not, but this is Barr's reasoning from his 2018 memo about why a President shouldn't be charged with "obstructing" an Executive Branch investigation if there was no underlying crime he was trying to hide (i.e. conspiring with Russia) documentcloud.org/documents/5638…

Jaw-dropping.

@melindagates says she and her husband, spending vast sums on education, don’t have “outsize influence.”

She also doubts that two billionaires seeking to transform education have any more power than a “group of parents.”

True privilege is denying you have it.

I don’t know. I’ve met a whole lot of public school teachers from coast to coast who are pretty sure that the Gateses do have a lot of influence over what happens in their schools — influence they can’t easily thwart.

But maybe Melinda thinks they don’t know what they’re seeing.

The thing I find most frustrating about British politics is how nearly everyone with political power or a media platform is myopically focused on how Britain navigates the next few years, while there is no national conversation about where we want to be in 10, 20 or 50 years.
Both sides of the Brexit divide are guilty. Continuity Remainers want only to reverse Brexit and make it so that the EU referendum result was nothing but a bad dream. Hard Brexiteers have their platitudes about Britain swashbuckling its way to WTO rules-based free trade glory.
The truth is that Britain has entered a state of political discontinuity, where the old left/right political divides, "acceptable" policies & talking points are no longer adequate to the issues we face. We're not alone; other Western countries face the same, but are ignoring it.

"Who or what is #QAnon?..a world that's like #Pizzagate on bath salts, a galaxy-brained, 4chan-bred #conspiracy theory that has apparently convinced an alarming # of adults that all kinds of preposterous things are tvice.com/en_us/article/…K27dfcNZ2m
“You don’t know who is spreading [the #conspiracies] & why, or who is picking them up & why,” she says. “You can’t really confront the people who are responsible for these to their face or on social media, because you don’t know who is doitime.com/5356851/what-i…0bHJLHWG
The posts appear to reference a widespread, right-wing conspiracy theory known as #QAnon. Subscribers to the theory believe that President Trump is poised to stop a secret group of powerful people who operate child sex rings. buzzfeednews.com/article/jimdal…

I need to post some screenshots from a NYT article; don't have time to chat, my bad.
Contrary to the overall insinuation in both the NYT's coverage and Sady Doyle's article at Huffington Post, the pay gap issue is not ongoing - the 2016 Sanders campaign addressed it, made corrections and in 2018 (and going forward) those provisions remain in place.
Furthermore, while it's difficult to speak credibly for Arturo Carmona's operation in Nevada, it's clear that said pay gap was entirely accidental from a campaign-wide perspective in the first place

Tomorrow, Virginians decide whether to vote Corey Stewart into the US Senate.

Tomorrow marks 451 days since 8/12/17, the weekend when violent neo-Nazis came to beat & murder people on the streets outside my home.

How is Corey Stewart responsible?

Let me count the ways.

(1/55)
Most of the world is familiar with the scenes of tiki torches, swastikas, and mob beatings from the weekend when white supremacists, neo-Nazis, Klansmen & genocidal bigots of every stripe all teamed up.

But this story starts months before Charlottesville became #Charlottesville.
Six months earlier, an unlikely friendship began between an irrelevant blogger looking for exposure and an underdog candidate trying to make a name for himself. Over months of joint events, Corey Stewart and Jason Kessler cultivated a mutually beneficial alliance. (3/55)

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.
