Alright, it's Mueller time...again.

"Trump, Inc." editor @ericuman is going to take over this account during the presser to share essential context, info and updates.
@ericuman Reminder about a key thing Mueller's report found: Trump's attempted Russia tower deal bigger, with more Russian contacts, and was more covered up than ever known:

propublica.org/article/trump-…

w/ @WNYC
@ericuman @WNYC Welp, no revelations from Mueller. But remember: WE ALREADY KNOW A LOT.

We know, for ex, that Trump was secretly trying to develop a tower in Moscow.

We know it would've been his biggest project yet.

We know he needed the Kremlin's help.

propublica.org/article/trump-…
@ericuman @WNYC A thread about our reporting and how Trump was compromised by his secret Moscow project.

@ericuman @WNYC So we just talked with Andrew McCabe and he has...many many questions.

1/ For months, we’ve investigated how wealthy towns keep themselves exclusive.

They speak in what many see as code:

- frail public infrastructure
- clogged streets
- a lack of sidewalks
- concerns over “neighborhood character”

2/ Connecticut has more law firms than any other state specializing in land use, a key indicator of restrictive zoning.

But don’t take our word for it. Here’s what community members from CT’s wealthy Gold Coast have said about dense or affordable housing 👇🏽👇🏽
3/ “To me, this is ghettoizing Westport,” Chip Stephens, a planning and zoning commissioner, said in response to a mix of single-and multifamily housing that would accommodate up to 12 families on a 2.2 acre property. propub.li/2VYq5Rc

1/ Recently @Intuit CEO @Sasan_Goodarzi suggested we have a “political agenda.” His evidence? That we’ve run *many* stories on @turbotax.

There’s no agenda, but we have exposed deceptive design & misleading ads, lobbying against free simple returns + more.propub.li/2Vw0vTl
2/ We did our first story *6 yrs ago,* reporting how @TurboTax spent millions lobbying against allowing the government to estimate your taxes for you.

That’s how Spain, Denmark and other countries do it — meaning taxes there often take just minutes. propub.li/2M0e5Ps
3/ @LizDDay detailed how @intuit and @GroverNorquist were leading the charge against what’s called return-free filing. propub.li/2M0e5Ps

“Trump said on Sunday that the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, should not testify before Congress, setting up another confrontation with Democrats over presidential authority and the separation of powers.” ⁦@nytimes⁩ nytimes.com/2019/05/05/us/…
⏰ FEAR? How are the @TheJusticeDept & @FBI dealing with all this? Everyone “just following orders"? Going along to get along? Is their allegiance to Trump, the @GOP, some ideology, or to the constitution? Are they powerless? Looking for excuses & pretexts to hide in the shadows?
“Fascism is a form of radical, right-wing, authoritarian ultranationalism, characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society & of the economy, which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.” - WikiPedia @Wikipedia

#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?

Who funds the IEA, the TPA, the ASI &co?
You know, the RW 'free trade' thick tanks advocating tax havens, "freedom" (no regulations like workers' rights or environmental protection), no welfare (no tax & no free healthcare).
Basically, "Only the wealthier survive" philosophy?
1/n
*Could it be* that it has something to do with defending their funders' interests?
Today, I'm going to tell you the Thick Tanks' Hydra tale.
Featuring Atlas, huge piles of money, tradition, "free speech", useful idiots and a very clear agenda that Brexit/Trump are a part of.
2/n
Take a seat: It's a long story, with a lot of players, including politicians, pretty ladies squatting your TV, the climate change denial's network, the global fascist movement, Silicon Valley/multiname data-stealing/misusing company & private companies' involved in elections.

This article has provoked a lot of commentary today. Most of the commentary from the the left has been alarmist, though some (like @SethAbramson) have been dismissive. I don’t think either response is appropriate. 1/16
There was every reason to expect that Mueller would go into action again shortly after the election; we didn’t need this article to know that. 2/16

Key point in this excellent thread by Moscow-based @AlexGabuev: Putin had ample warning from within his own govt that meddling in the 2016 election would be easily traceable and create unpredictable blowback for the Kremlin 1/
Why did Putin blaze such a reckless path? Partly it's because the lesson of the war in Ukraine was that risky undertakings can really pay off--esp if Russia's adversaries are afraid of escalation 2/
It also reflected Putin's conviction that US-EU policy during this period (2014-2016) aimed at nothing less than actively seeking the overthrow of his regime. Kremlin fears of color revolution run deep 3/

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
