1. Let's revisit what sparked the feud among Democrats

@AOC, @IlhanMN, @RepPressley and @RepRashida didn't want to give Trump billions in "emergency aid" for migrants because they didn't trust how he'd use it

House leadership disagreed

Who was right?

popular.info/p/trumps-racis…
@AOC @IlhanMN @RepPressley @RepRashida 2. When Pence went to the border & saw hundreds of men packed into a cage w/no showers or place to sleep who did he blame?

Democrats

He didn't credit Dems for the billions in funding Trump requested or say that money would be used to improve conditions

popular.info/p/trumps-racis…
@AOC @IlhanMN @RepPressley @RepRashida 3. Trump has made it clear that he views poor conditions for migrants as an effective deterrent to migrants and has no plans to improve conditions

How is this money being used?

popular.info/p/trumps-racis…
@AOC @IlhanMN @RepPressley @RepRashida 4. Trump is so committed to maintaining poor conditions for migrants that he is bragging about it in campaign advertisement on Facebook popular.info/p/trumps-racis…
5. Fundamentally, it comes down to a disagreement in how to deal with Trump and the Congressional GOP

Right now Dem leaders are still treating them as good faith actors who they happen to disagree with on most issues

6. This sounds good but the fight is about how to fight Trump so it's hard to put that aside and fight Trump

I went through the Twitter accounts of every Republican member of Congress and created a comprehensive list of every Republican member who has condemned Trump's blatantly racist attack on their colleague, Elijah Cummings
Recall that Mitt Romney wrote an op-ed promising he would stand up to Trump's racism. Guess he's busy today.

Since you are here check out my newsletter.

It's like my Twitter only with full sentences, original research and reporting.

Keep in mind that the last time Trump targeted members of Congress with a racist attack (10 days ago) most Republicans DEFENDED him. The official GOP line was that Trump wasn't being racist and, in fact, the people who he was targeting were the real racists.

1. I'm very skeptical of these latest nods toward impeachment by Nadler.

Let me explain.

washingtonpost.com/politics/nadle…
2. Nadler says he's going to sue to compel McGahn and potentially others to testify. He also wants the grand jury information.

The premise to all of this is that there is not currently enough information to justify impeachment.
3. I think that's wrong but there is a bigger problem.

TIME.

Time is not on the Democrats' side.

There are 15 months until the next election.

Now we are setting up a process of lengthy litigation to see if we can get some witnesses before impeachment can be considered.

1. The Trump campaign is paying Facebook to spread misinformation about several Democrats running for president

It's happening RIGHT NOW

It's 15 months before the general election.

Unless something is done, this will get much worse

2. The Trump campaign has an ad running now claiming @JoeBiden and @PeteButtigieg support eliminating private insurance.

It shows an image from the debate with both raising their hands.

Compare the Trump ad (left) to the actual show of hands (right) popular.info/p/trump-using-…
3. The point here isn't that supporting Medicare for All in place of private insurance is bad. (Sanders and Warren both hold this view).

The point is that Facebook is accepting cash to broadcast Trump's lies

This was not supposed to happen this time

There have been dozens of Q drops about seeing the events happening in the world today is like watching a movie. There are actors and a script and foreseeable events predicted. What does that truly mean?

TRUMP: I would work with Democrats to regulate social media platforms to rein in their power

Guys, c'mon. You can't possibly be dumb enough to fall for this. He's been on the warpath about social media companies "censoring conservatives" (without actual evidence) for months

1/7
You REALLY want to give Trump broad power to crack down on a website just because user content on the platform pisses him off?

Jeff Sessions has been rallying state AGs to do just this

Fortunately the antitrust laws probably won't allow that. Read: techfreedom.org/doj-inquiry-re…

2/7
So that's why Trump is trying to get new legislation passed. The First Amendment SHOULD protect websites' exercise of editorial discretion, but there's a lot the President could do to circumvent its protections and harass websites—if given enough power by Congress

So #Trump is holding a news conference in about five minutes. I’ll be watching (and probably tweeting). Follow/mute at will!
Okay, #Trump has started speaking. He's already slurring. He's already made a joke about "a lot of......MEDIA.".

This does not bode well.
#Trump is now saying that China wants to "see me lose an election because they've never been challenged before."

It's not just China, pal.
