Head of Immigrant-arresting right wing militia attacked in jail after his arrest. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/arrested-… via @TPM
2/ “Apparently they put him in a pod cell with a group of people and they had just got done watching the article about the ACLU writing about him being racist, and as a result of that, he was attacked inside the cell, he was beat up pretty good, and he was sent to the hospital."
3/ That quote is from a kind of spokesman for the militia nutball group. The militia jefe who was attacked in jail is Larry Mitchell Hopkins.
4/ different report from the guy's lawyer. “I was originally told that he was taken to the hospital, but he was actually treated inside the jail. Now, what kind of a treatment center they have in that jail, I really don’t know, but honestly, it’s kind of a bare-bones jail.”

A few more comments on the Google/monopoly question. I don't have strong views of just how you break it up into a few component parts. I wouldn't even say I'm 100% saying it must be broke up, though I can't see anyway to address the problems without that. The key to me ...
2/ is Google has repeatedly used monopoly power in one area to build monopoly power in other areas. In advertising and publishing, its monopoly power is massively clear. It owns the pipelines and the product. Google totally dominates both the ad industry and the infrastructure..
3/ of advertising. This was built on the ownership of search. And both now feed heavily off Google's various oceanic pipelines of data. But search is separable from the different components of its display advertising business. Simply put, I don't know the precise solution ...

Since Alex and I were talking abt this. I went to the open secrets page where Sirota got his list from and randomly selected different industry sectors to see where Beto came out.

This is not a plug for Beto. But really revealing moment was when the Bernie circumcellions briefly thought Beto was a big deal and had their apeshit moment about him. Sirota had that list showing that Beto was like the biggest recipient of fossil fuel money of all candidates.
2/ This ignored the fact that he raised like three times as much as any other candidate so almost by definition he was going to be near the top or at the top of almost every kind of money. Also he’s from Texas. A state dominated by the fossil fuel industry. And those numbers ...
3/ are legitimately about people who work in that industry not just the industry per se. And lots of people in Texas work in the energy industry. Beto was running in Texas. So it’s an example of using a factual statement with the intention of misleading people.

The GOP has a white nationalism problem. What are the party's leaders going to do about it? talkingpointsmemo.com/muckraker/whit… via @TPM
@TPM I mean, I suppose the things this kid said about wanting to harm journalists and BLM protestors and using the n-word were just him "being naughty," like Tucker. Nothing to see here, the best people...truly, the best people.
@TPM Here's another example of how emboldened young white nationalists are finding it quite easy to infiltrate the GOP at the state and local level. This is their future generation of leaders. mynorthwest.com/1011333/james-…?

Excellent analysis of "FACT" and Whittaker from #TPM

Whitaker's op-ed was "highly critical of a candidate, and he ought not to be doing that, because it’s a political partisan comment."

Whittaker founded his Section 501c3 NFP in 2015.
talkingpointsmemo.com/news/whitaker-…
Section 501c3 tax code prohibits non-profits "from supporting or opposing political candidates during a campaign." But "FACT" under Whittaker did that more than once.
"in 2016 [Whitaker] earned more than twice what leaders of similar groups were paid on average that year"
Charity Navigator is our friend, not his.
His THREE-person board of directors that included just one unsalaried member.

Once was part of a discussion about the sentencing of Stanford student Brock Turner in 2016.
