They are doing it again, even more overtly. Giuliani may have canceled the trip, but he delivered the message. Inviting foreign nations to interfere with our elections is treasonous, full stop. But because they got away with it the first time, here we are. nyti.ms/2HdzRL9
The whole ego game with Trump is that he can’t possibly be soliciting foreign help because he wouldn’t ever allow anyone to think that he accepted help to win. The thing folks need to understand is that this guy doesn’t care how he wins. Just that he does. rollingstone.com/politics/polit…
Yes, he has pride. But Trump not letting his own Cabinet discuss ending election interference isn’t just about hurting his feelings. The President is willing to compromise the nation to win. Understand that this man doesn’t give a fuck about this country. rol.st/2XHfzin

There is nothing for Hope Hicks to “decide.” She got a subpoena from Congress. Were she not white, wealthy, and connected, we wouldn’t be having this conversation. She would appear, or she would face the threat of prison like the rest of us. As she should. nyti.ms/2I329XZ
Hope Hicks had to have known who she was working for and what the work they were doing was affecting the world. These are people we should treat with every bit of disdain. By testifying, Hicks may actually have her first opportunity to perform something akin to a public service.
That the Paper of Record would profile Hicks as if she has a legitimate choice as to whether or not she should comply with a Congressional subpoena is a testament to the degree to which norms have shifted to accommodate Trumpian criminality. I mean, what are we even asking here?

This is important journalism from @trymainelee, as if there is another kind. He went to Iowa to speak to black voters there about their concerns ahead of the 2020 election. More reporters should follow his lead in general, but particularly in this regard. on.msnbc.com/2QsaOad
It matters that we, as journalists at every level, do not depict localities that are predominantly white as entirely so. It matters that we do not depict working classes that are multicultural as monochromatic. It doesn’t require as much critical thinking than you might believe.
I’ll give you one example. @nytimes published this story earlier this week; you can find it earlier in my Twitter feed. Youngstown isn’t far from where I grew up, so I know its population is about half black. You wouldn’t know that from this, which isn’t just about Youngstown.

Well, I’ll be. I couldn’t be there to accept the award, but thank you to @deadlineclub and to my fellow nominees, whose stories were phenomenal. Thanks to everyone at @TIME who worked with me on this story. And thanks to Ryan Coogler and @chadwickboseman for sitting down with me.
Please read “A Hero Rises,” my @TIME story that won a @deadlineclub award for Arts Reporting tonight. time.com/black-panther/
Another thing: I’d be remiss if I didn’t thank my high school journalism teacher, Sally Schwartz from @shakerschools. Without her, I’m not here. I’m not writing anything, let alone winning anything. She may not read this, but I have my reasons for needing to put that in the air.

I am going to describe an absolutely mainstream patient scenario for any nurse working on any geriatric or general/acute med ward round the country to illustrate a point. Just like nurses i & other NHS drs work with daily as close colleagues. I'll tell you why at the thread-end
no real identifiable individual patient is involved her, in case anyone starts to think i am describing anyone under my care. It's an amalgam...
the patient is 82. She already lives with 6 different long-term conditions & on 11 medications - several of which have potential to interact with one another or with her conditions and cause various side effects & she doesn't know what they are all for nor always take them

(1/6) I strongly supported Mueller being allowed to complete his investigation and submit his findings. Now that Mueller has found no collusion took place, we need to set aside our partisan interests and recognize that finding the president of the United States not guilty…
(2/6) …of conspiring with a foreign power to interfere with our elections is a good thing for America. If the president of the United States had been indicted for conspiring with Russia to interfere with and affect the outcome of our elections…
(3/6) …it would have precipitated a terribly divisive crisis that could have even led to civil war. Now we must stand together and move beyond this divisive issue that has taken up enough of the national conversation. I'm calling on Congress to protect the integrity of...

1) #QAnon #SaveTheKids

I have been Twitter-silent of late, waiting for the next shoe to drop…and there are a closet full of shoes. It was a needed break as it has been a struggle watching the cabal continue to walk the streets.
2) The breathless screams about yesterday's #TreasonSummit warrant an immediate reply. The best place to start is to ask WHY? Why are the political left and the #MSM/#LSM claiming the Trump-Putin meeting to be treasonous? What is the basis?
3) Did you hear concerns of #Treason when #Traitor44 went around the world on his apology tour, disparaging the United States? They PRAISED #Obama for bowing to leaders of foreign nations & ridicule #POTUS for NOT BOWING in submission, as if we are subject to their kingdoms.

The “thousands of Clinton’s emails” story told by GEORGE PAPADOPOULOS, which is critical to “Trump/Russia collusion”, still doesn’t add up.

ALEXANDER DOWNER just blew a major hole in it.

And: I think Special Counsel Robert Mueller has known this for months too.

THREAD
In this thread I’m going to show you three NEW pieces of info:

1: First relevant interview with ALEXANDER DOWNER (H/T @ChuckRossDC)

2: A new analysis of @RepAdamSchiff Feb 2018 memo in light of that interview

3: A new, not yet reported Jan 2018 interview with JOSEPH MIFSUD
This will be controversial, so I’m going to keep this thread as factual as possible with clear references to source material that you can check

I want to lay out three possibilities for you....
