“The man with stark principles kept slipping away, clouded by his ambition and political maneuvering. But “Trump only made Pence’s machinations more obvious to those who had watched for decades”. apple.news/AqmND0nuaN1y0d…
“Pence’s political existence owes much to the fusion of evangelical Protestantism to unvarnished capitalism & the spirit of the Tea party. While seeking divine guidance, he’s kept at least 1 eye on the Koch brothers’ munificence, broader cultural resentments and...upheaval.”
“What Pence does do well is swallow his pride and raise money.”

“The federal government has dramatically expanded its exposure to risky mortgages, as federal officials over the past four years took steps that cleared the way for companies to issue loans that many borrowers might not be able to repay.” apple.news/ACxYskkGOTzu0J…
“Now, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the FHA guarantee almost $7 trillion in mortgage-related debt, 33% more than before the housing crisis.”
Good to know.
“In 2019, there is more government-backed housing debt than at any other point in U.S. history.”

“Brian Greenspun, the owner of the Las Vegas Sun, has sued Adelson in federal court, claiming the controlling shareholder of Las Vegas Sands Corp. and owner of the Las Vegas Review-Journal is trying to put him out of business.” bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
“The past two years, Adelson has halted profit-sharing payments to Greenspun, eliminated joint promotions and has tried to hide the Sun’s content, including political endorsements.”
“...Greenspun said the Sun’s problems escalated after Adelson bought the Review-Journal & redesigned its front page to hide the Sun’s contributions. He said a court-ordered arbitrator confirmed that the Review-Journal had been improperly counting expenses...”

@wdunlap “Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, #Trump dismissed his past appearances with #Epstein …Epstein’s personal little black book, leaked by an employee in 2009, contained 14 phone numbers for Trump, his wife, Melania, and several people who worked for him.”
vanityfair.com/news/2019/07/h…
@wdunlap “But even beyond #Trump’s own words further up, there’s a good deal of evidence the two were friendly social acquaintances at least through the early 2000s”

“Trump called #Epstein twice in November 2004, according to message pads seized”

Twitter released the tweets of another 418 russian accounts on January 31.
I'm going to use this thread to take a look at the information they gave us about these accounts.
And talk about other bots and trolls you can find using this data.
blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/c…
Of the 418 accounts 1 was a double, @CovfefeNationUS it was already included in the last batch of accounts.
One was not actually suspended until I reminded them.
2 of them had active backup accounts at the time of publication of the data.
around 320 of the accounts I had tweeted about a lot. So i'm not going to bother going back over them.
I found them right after NBC put out the 1st batch of tweets from the russian trolls.
They were bots, and most of the data about what they did is unavailable.

@Jim_Jordan Any #Trump sycophant, alleged pedophile protector, trying to besmirch this hero, while his own children will have to suffer from the decisions made for the country, is sad. Why wouldn't the #GOP make it an open door session if they had nothing to hide? Your reign ends soon.
@Jim_Jordan As time passes, more comes to light, with the Steele dossier, Trumps alleged involvement in Epstein child sex ring where Secretary Acosta stopped the FBI investigation before more suspects could be arrested, and money laundering campaign contributions from Russian operatives.
@Jim_Jordan Plus your support for a theocratic monarchy that really acts like a ruthless inhumane dictator & desire to sell American technology to them when it could then be used to kill our own troops or handed over to Russia is genuinely INSANE. Who is dishonorable, spineless sycophantic?

Interesting on its own, this story about how Russian trolls pushed vaccine debates in the US includes several other key points that are worth examining. THREAD
www-m.cnn.com/2018/08/23/hea…
First of all, it's fascinating to me just from the standpoint of how even the most absurd propositions can draw wide audiences, when thinking people should be able to dismiss them out of hand. 2/
Second, the fact that we will argue ad inifinitum about subjects that don't deserve a second look is a serious indictment of something - either our inherently American contrariness or the ground-leveling effect social media has. 2/

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
