Before I made a name for myself as a cat-obsessed Twitter person, I actually used to hate cats, and never more than during the years I lived in Taiwan.

But next time we go back to Taiwan, WE WILL GO TO HOUTONG
Just showed this to my wife. She says we went there, and now I'm wondering who her secret boyfriend was
(We did go to Shifen quite often, which is nearby, and we adopted this little lady and her late brother after our last visit to Taiwan together)

Anti-money laundering specialists at Deutsche Bank recommended in 2016 and 2017 that multiple transactions involving legal entities controlled by Donald Trump and Jared Kushner be reported to a federal financial-crimes watchdog. nytimes.com/2019/05/19/bus…
Let's all just step back for a second and remind ourselves that the mere fact that the President hired his son-in-law to be a presidential advisor—despite having no government experience or special expertise to merit the job—is itself an ethical, national-security scandal
Imagine if this were any other administration, Democratic or Republican, where a president with no prior government experience hired his son-in-law solely because he was family, and then it turned out that credible evidence existed that implicated both men in money laundering

The New York Times has received previously unreleased tax documents for Trump, and they paint a devastating picture:

"In fact, year after year, Mr. Trump appears to have lost more money than nearly any other individual American taxpayer" nyti.ms/2Vp3Wjx
"Mr. Trump lost so much money [in the same decade when he published The Art of the Deal] that he was able to avoid paying income taxes for eight of the 10 years" covered by the documents
If only there were some way for Trump to clear this up once and for all 🤔

Very big news for EU refugee policy. #Italy hardliner #Salvini backs relocation - breaking from Orbán’s #Hungary push-back policy. But what does it mean? #SeaWatch3 Thread 1/18
Salvini - Dep PM & Interior Min - claimed in Jun ‘18 that Italy’s ports are “closed” to rescued people. He even turned away Italian coastguard boat “Diciotti”. 2/
And last week Salvini blocked #SeaWatch3 from embarking the people rescued from shipwreck. They applied straight to the European Court of Human Rights and... Salvini & EU states found a solution. 3/

#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?

What the hell is happening between #Hungary and #Ukraine, why are diplomatic tensions rising dramatically?

Thread for CEE&Hungary watchers, and for journalists covering the topic!

It all started last year with Ukraine’s new education law requiring more Ukrainian language education for minorities who previously had much bigger autonomy. This ‘reform’ is a tool of Ukrainian nation-building&was primarily aimed at restricting Russian language education.
Collateral damage occurred as Polish, Romanian&Hungarian minorities were affected as well. Poland&Romania managed to solve the situation with Ukraine through negotiations but Hungary went berserk instead. Here’s a very good summary in English by @OSW_eng:

Why did UK Tories oppose EU broad-based action to defend #Hungary’s democracy? Thread 1/
#Orbán’s popular - but corrupt & racist - regime was charged before Europe’s directly elected Parliament with undermining Hungary’s democracy theguardian.com/commentisfree/… 2/
Conservatives across Europe joined a broad spectrum of the overwhelming majority of MEPs to demand action. (The first time these new powers have been invoked by Parliament) 3/
