Facebook, in a statement released yesterday, said it's ready to play by the rules and hold itself accountable

Let's see how that is going so far

2. Today, the Trump campaign posted an ad falsely claiming Dems are trying to repeal the 2nd Amendment

Did Facebook enforce its rules & prevent the ad from running on its platform? No

After the ad was brought to its attention, did it remove the ad? No

3. The Trump campaign also posted an ad claiming relatives of immigrants aren't "thoroughly vetted" before being entering the U.S.

Did Facebook enforce its rules & block the ad? No

After the ad was brought to its attention, did it remove the ad? No

4. IT'S ALMOST AS IF FACEBOOK SAYS IT WILL HOLD ITSELF ACCOUNTABLE BUT IS NOT ACTUALLY HOLDING ITSELF ACCOUNTABLE

Instead, it's up to me to manually review Trump's campaign ads

EXCLUSIVE: Trump campaign accepts cash from notorious white supremacist #followthemoney popular.info/p/trump-campai…
The Trump campaign cannot credibly claim they didn't know who this guy is. He donated several times last year, the campaign was asked about it, ignored the questions and kept all the money.

To keep following the money, subscribe to my newsletter at popular.info
It's not a ton of money so it wouldn't be too much to expect the Trump campaign to just REFUND THE NEO-NAZI'S MONEY

Right?

Can't wait to hear what @parscale plans to do

1. The inherent weakness of the Congressional Democrats strategy on Trump is playing out in real time.

They won't pursue impeachment so instead, they are "continuing to investigate."

But all the investigations require the administration to cooperate.
2. The Trump administration, predictably, has said they won't cooperate. Not they'll only cooperate a little bit. But they will not testify, comply with subpoenas, turn over documents, or anything else.

So the "investigation" has ground to a halt
3. A lot of these disputes have been kicked to the courts which will be very hesitant to intervene in a dispute between the legislative and executive branches and, in any event, work way too slowly

#Trump is going to speak in the Rose Garden any minute now. Is he going to lie a bunch about reopening the government? Is he just going to yell "no collusion! witch hunt!" over and over again? Both? Stay tuned!
Oh hell, #Trump is going to take questions too. This is going to be a sh*tshow.
#Trump is running about a half hour late. I wonder if he's spent this whole time on the phone with Ann Coulter, begging for permission to cave?

#UPDATE: Trump announced he was withdrawing troops from Syria, on the same day that the Treasury Dept announced they were lifting sanctions off of Oleg Deripaska's companies.

We can be pretty sure BOTH were discussed in Helsinki.

#WhatHappenedInHelsinki?
#BREAKING: “Trump has gone to extraordinary lengths to conceal details of his conversations w/Putin, including...taking possession of his interpreter’s notes and instructing him not to discuss what had transpired w/other officials”

#REDFLAG: "U.S. officials said there is NO DETAILED RECORD, even in classified files, of Trump's face-to-face interactions with Putin at FIVE locations over the past two years. Such a gap would be unusual in any presidency..."

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
