OPEN LETTER TO @RepJerryNadler

Dear Chairman Nadler,

As a New Yorker and as an American, I am writing to ask why you refuse to open #impeachment proceedings in the face of rampant lawlessness, abuse, and corruption on the part of Donald Trump and his Republican cronies.
LETTER TO NADLER

From incitement of violence against the free press in contravention of the First Amendment, to violations of the emoluments clause, to atrocities on the southern border, to obstruction of justice, there is an overwhelming imperative to #ImpeachTrump.
LETTER TO NADLER

Chairman Nadler, for most of the 35 years since I escaped war in Lebanon and settled in New York City, I have lived in your district on the west side of Manhattan, moving from the Upper West Side to Battery Park City after the September 11 attacks.

#IMPEACHMENT IS **NOT** JUST ABOUT #MUELLER

Donald Trump has violated his oath to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

He has done so by repeatedly attacking the free press as "enemies of the people," a direct subversion of the First Amendment.
The sycophants cowards, and right-wing extremists of the GOP will never have the courage or principle to follow in #JustinAmash's footsteps. And sad to say, the Democratic Party leadership is still dithering, refusing to do their constitutional duty.
So has anything changed today or is #impeachment still on hold? And if so, WHY?

Blumenthal was on Clinton Foundation payroll at same time he was being paid by grps helping Clinton’s presidential run, at the same time he was advising a US business seeking Libyan contracts, at the same time he was secretly advising SoS Clinton abt Libya
wsj.com/articles/who-i…
[2015] In fact, Blumenthal is all over the Benghazi affair, & Clinton’s long, strange, close relationship to this shadowy & increasingly untrusted figure might just keep her from winning the WH

observer.com/2015/11/just-w…
[2015] Blumenthal, a longtime confidant of Bill & Hillary Clinton, earned about $10,000 a month as a full-time employee of the Clinton Foundation while he was providing unsolicited intelligence on Libya to then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton

In this article, @Sulliview argues that "talk of impeachment, all-but-taboo in Big Media’s coverage of Trump, [has] moved from the margins into the mainstream." She attributes that development mainly to a prominent essay in @TheAtlantic. That's not right. washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/styl…
There's no denying that #impeachment talk has accelerated over the past few months. But I'm not convinced that this past week was really such a Rubicon when considered in broader perspective, or that a handful of well-argued essays in liberal magazines are the drivers of change.
For starters, there's been no shortage of impeachment talk in mainstream publications since Trump took office. I've gathered quite a few such articles in this @ShallTakeCare database, which includes analyses tracing back to before Trump even took office. takecareblog.com/blog/impeachin…

#Series ¡Me gustó la música de #Versailles! He terminado las dos primeras temporadas de esta ambiciosa serie de #ficciónhistórica disponible en @NetflixLAT, y ya espero la tercera y última temporada. En este hilo compartiré una apreciación personal del #Score y del #Soundtrack.
En primer lugar va la intro, es tan poderosa, que no usé en ningún episodio la opción de saltar intro o adelantarla. Es un tema compuesto por los franceses @M83 llamado #Outro. Se puede escuchar en @Spotify - @SpotifyColombia :

open.spotify.com/track/2QVmiA93…
O si prefieren en @YouTube.
