Jennifer pointing out some rather peculiar facts about the 232 report and foreign-owned car production as a national security threat to the US and asking equally pertinent questions. (1/2)
232 investigations are (this is at least my understanding) not neutral investigations, but investigations by the DoC (so not the USITC). But if you want to know more here’s a CRS paper on Section 232 (2/2) fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/R…
And here’s a much older BIS booklet on section 232. Yes. This is part 3 of a 2 part tweet. Feel free to ignore me from now on. bis.doc.gov/index.php/docu…

The PM is leaving. What will happen now? Let me put together some ideas by others (thread)
First up: @pmdfoster - prepare for a death-match between no-deal and revocation of Art. 50
@pmdfoster Sharing that assumption and building on it @piris_jc : as PM will face the same split Parliament, prepare for general election, referendum or extension fight.

It is time to point out that articles blaming the EU and failing to do any research are not a UK monopoly. Here’s an example by @janfleischhauer in the @SPIEGELONLINE . (Thread) spiegel.de/politik/deutsc…
@janfleischhauer @SPIEGELONLINE The article is on a recent realisation by the author: EU officials in Germany pay no German taxes. The author writes he know many arguments against the EU, but was not aware of organised tax evasion. So how did he become aware of this outrage?
@janfleischhauer @SPIEGELONLINE A friend of his works at the European Patent Office in Munich. And she told him. That’s the first four paras of the article. That’s beautiful. One small problem: the EPO has nothing to do with the EU. It’s a different international organisation.

The Chagos archipelago follow-up. Let’s bring you up to speed first: the @CIJ_ICJ decided against the UK, deciding that the process of de-colonising Mauritius was not completed. (Thread) icj-cij.org/files/case-rel…
@CIJ_ICJ And now the UN General Assembly voted on a resolution setting a six-month deadline for UK withdrawal from the Chagos archipelago to reunite the island with Mauritius. The resolution passed 116 states for, 56 abstained, 6 against. theguardian.com/world/2019/may…
@CIJ_ICJ Who voted with the UK? The US (the US uses the archipelago for its base Diego Garcia, so no surprise), Israel (no surprise, see US), Australia, the Maldives and - Hungary.

Schiff responds: "My colleagues may think it is okay that the Russians offered dirt on a Democratic candidate as part as what was described as the Russian effort to help the Trump campaign. "
"My colleagues may think it is okay when the president's son was offered a role in the pivotal campaign, he did not call the FBI or refuse the foreign help, no, instead that son said he would "love" that information." - Schiff
"You may think it is okay when the chairman of a presidential campaign offered polling data to someone linked to Russian intelligence - I don't think that's okay," Schiff says of Paul Manafort

Accessible introductory information (as it sticks closely to the #PrimarySource, the #Senate's #CIA #TortureReport):

The report found that the methods used by the CIA were more brutal than the agency acknowledged either to Bush administration officials or to the public. "

continues to ignore the collected expertise of scientists around the globe in favor of sowing doubt & mistrust. No, Pruitt, a warmer Earth in 2100 is NOT going to be a good thing. We DO NOT need a debate b/c facts are facts. 1/

#climatechange is the greatest national security threat to our country in the next 50 years. It's a threat multiplier. Terrorism, food security, housing, employment, & immigration issues all stand to worsen due to the effects of climate change. 2/
We were making good progress in our efforts to 1) understand climate change drivers, and 2) prepare & adapt for our new reality before the Trump & Pruitt tag team of forced ignorance. We CAN meet the challenge of a changing climate. 3/
