Following a series of xenophobic, bigoted, and misogynist comments by Tucker Carlson, @Bayer has not advertised on his show for months

The company has advertised three times on Tucker's show tonight

@Bayer is hoping people have stopped paying attention

Oh BTW, Tucker used his show tonight to advance a white supremacist conspiracy theory. Details here: mediamatters.org/blog/2018/08/2…

CONTEXT: @Bayer said it was going to stop advertising on Laura Ingraham, then quietly resumed its ads

This is how they roll

"I don't call it tweets. I call it social media." -- Donald Trump on Twitter abcnews.go.com/Politics/trans…
My favorite part of this interview is when Trump gets super mad at his chief of staff for coughing
He actually goes back to the cough at the end of the interview. Can't let it go.

1. WOW

ABC affiliates around the country are promoting a Trump campaign fundraising gimmick - Trump's birthday card - and presenting it as "news."

One, @cleveland19news , links directly to the Trump's fundraising site

The other are just copying and pasting text from the GOP
@cleveland19news 2. These are the "articles" the affiliates are linking to.

Some, like @ABC7Chicago, appear to be taking them offline now.

But how did this ever happen in the first place?

(Shoutout to @TrumpEmail for alerting me to this.)
3. A huge problem with campaign coverage is that a lot of the meaningful activity has moved online but most media hasn't adapted. It's still focused on events

If you receive my newsletter, you'd be very familiar with this b-day card scam

1. The Trump admin is attempting an illegal, racist, partisan power grab by rigging the 2020 Census.

Now Trump invoked "executive privilege" to shield docs relating to the plot

But there is A LOT of misinformation and confusion about executive privilege popular.info/p/check-your-e…
2. @theskimm which is a newsletter that goes out to millions of people, says that executive privilege is "the legal principle that presidents don't have to comply with Congressional subpoenas"

THIS IS COMPLETELY FALSE

This stuff is pretty important so lets get it right.
@theskimm 3. Executive privilege creates a presumption that protects certain presidential communications from being disclosed

BUT THAT PRESUMPTION IS NOT ABSOLUTE AND CAN ALWAYS BE OVERCOME

That's why, for example, Nixon was required to turn over his tapes

Things getting off to a weird start today. Tory Brexiter Richard Drax makes a personal statement to the Commons: "I should not have voted with the govt on Friday afternoon".
This is bizarre. Just change your vote then man. "I have let down good friends here in the House. I say sorry to the DUP for voting for a deal that could risk the integrity of our country. The withdrawal agreement as it stands must never see the light of day again."
"If the Pm cannot commit to taking us out the EU on April 12th she must resign immediately." Blokes off the fucking reservation.

#COMMENTS on the @Airtel_Ug @K2Telecom endorsement agreement.
Is the Airtel/K2 transaction a merger or acquisition? What does it mean for K2 customers? Has @UCC_Official approved this transaction?
The Airtel/K2 transaction is neither a merger nor acquisition. It's a brand endorsement arrangement, were K2 entered into agreement allowing @Airtel_Ug to use her Trademark, Brand name (K2 Telecom) & Resources to market @K2Telecom products & services to customers @UCC_Official
Under the Brand Endorsement Agreement, K2 customers will continue enjoying the same or similar services with a different code prefix (0708). The customer migration will be voluntary. Customers will exercise their contractual right to either move to Airtel or not.

#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 :

O si prefieren en @YouTube.

Long thread incoming-

The Topic: The Timeline of the Fuckery and Counterintel Sting...
This will be a deep dive into the timeline of the Russian Collusion narrative. Specifically, I have laid out an extensive timeline of events with sources and commentary which also includes a breakdown of what I call The Fuckery and The Counterintel Sting.
The Fuckery is defined as the group of conspirators working inside 44's administration, DOJ, FBI and USIC who actively plotted to rig the election - and when that failed - attempted to execute a Palace Coup.

We know some of their names and will learn more as this unfolds.
