Does the FEC Act permit a principal campaign committee to support or oppose more than one candidate for federal office? I’m asking as it appears that Texans for Senator John Cornyn is doing just that. Beto isn’t a U.S. Senate candidate.

Texans for Senator John Cornyn, Inc.’s most recent Statement of Organization.

Regardless of whether or not the FEC permits a U.S. Senate candidate’s committee to attack presidential candidates, one thing seems clear to me: @JohnCornyn’s very afraid of @BetoORourke.

Ah—so it was both Trump and George W. Bush who asserted executive privilege over Kavanaugh’s documents when McGahn’s attorney, Bill Burck, was in charge of releasing them.
As Kavanaugh was a gatekeeper for Bush’s judicial nominees, he would’ve been in a prime position to know exactly how influential Philip Anschutz’s recommendation letter was when the decision was made to nominate Gorsuch for the Tenth Circuit.
But Bush gave Michelle Obama a piece of candy at his father’s funeral, so it’s easy to see how people were willing to forgive him for being complicit in the theft of a second Associate Justice seat.

1/25 #CDNpoli

I was asked to comment on this video

By @RobertFife & @VassyKapelos on @PnPCBC

RE Jody Wilson-Raybould & the #SNCLavalin affair

But it was so problematic that it requires a #THREAD to address these troubling #CDNmedia & #ethics issues

2/25 #CDNpoli #CDNmedia #SNCLavalin

In chronological order:

The @PnPCBC interview (in post #1) begins with libeling @SenDuffy, by inferring he was guilty of breach of trust charges, when in fact he was exonerated & thoroughly vindicated by the court

cbc.ca/news/politics/…
3/25 #CDNpoli #CDNmedia #SNCLavalin

It's amazing that @VassyKapelos would spin the intro so dishonestly when @CBCNews covered @SenDuffy's exoneration - rebutting her own characterization to falsely boost @RobertFife's rep

Duffy's lawyer @BSB_Law will be disappointed, @ChuckTCBC

Li Yang, who founded a chain of spas that included the one where Bob Kraft was busted for soliciting prostitution, ran a company selling access to Trump family and admin officials. Her site, GY US Investments LLC, was taken down, but you can still find the photos online.
The website for her company has an archived version on the Wayback Machine, and the photos from her photo gallery are still available online.

This one was labeled "Founder Yang Li and banker Mrs. Elizabeth Trump-Grau (Prague Trump's sister's private dinner)"
The site used the photos to demonstrate the access they could sell to clients. This photo is labeled "Philanthropist Terry, founder Yang Li and banker Mrs. Elizabeth Trump-Grau (President Trump's sister), Li Zhonggang, director of the Asian Republican National Committee."

1/ Strong No Free Lunch Theorem for adversarial robustness arxiv.org/pdf/1810.04065…. As the size eps of the perturbations is slightly increased, a point is reached eps_* is eventually reached beyond which accuracy decreases exponentially fast. A few typos in there.

Please RT.
2/ Moreover, eps_* is comparable to the natural noise level on the problem, with a modulation factor which varies only logarithmic as a function of the particular classifier ==> adversarial robustness / non-robustness is more a property of data than of some magical classifier
3/ These results hold on a large range of class-conditional data distributions, including those listed below. This are distributions which satisfy Talagrand's W_2 transportation-cost inequality (see paper for def.). Our restults generalize Fawzi et al 2018 and Tsipras 2018

(1) The Obama era political context that led to the collapse of the FIU Miami Bridge on 3/15/18.

This thread is about Common Sense vs the "University City Prosperity Project."

Below: FIU's Chief Financial Officer and President with a model of the bridge in September 2016.
(2) Since news of the fatal bridge collapse broke, I've been covering news updates and whatever technical information I could find. I cover the engineering failures elsewhere & have set aside this thread for the politics.

panthernow.com/2016/09/19/new…
(3) FIU President Mark Rosenberg is the embodiment of the anti-science far left ideology that dominates his college, most others, and Miami-Dade County itself.

He & others have emphasized that the bridge was meant to save pedestrian lives, given the 6 lane highway it crosses.

CLC's @waltshaub met with Chair @TGowdySC and Ranking Member @RepCummings of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee today, laying out 13 actions that would strengthen government ethics in the U.S. bit.ly/2hoetZz
Action #1-- It's critical to insulate the Director of @OfficeGovEthics from potential political retaliation
Action #2-- OGE needs to be able to communicate directly with Congress so that it can raise concerns about the activities of the Executive Branch, offer solutions, and discuss its budget without needing permission from another agency.
