I'm doing many other things and multi-tasking reading opinions & briefs, but I took a moment to read this. You should too.
Shoot Them in the Legs, Trump Suggested: Inside His Border War nyti.ms/2oiGtRn
Are you ok with this? The President and the sycophants who tried to create a budget for this.
A grown, professional woman stayed on the job after this.

This is bold. This is what it looks like when prosecutors won’t play along with propping up discredited police officers. Let’s first debunk myths: baltimoresun.com/news/crime/bs-…
This is not some rogue action by the @BaltimoreSAO. The MD General Assembly passed a bill last session giving the State’s Attorney the authority to seek these dismissals. baltimoresun.com/news/crime/bs-…
These cases will not just be “tossed out.” There is a process. First the @BaltimoreSAO reviewed thousands of cases involving these officers. The 800 selected will be subject to hearings before judges who will ultimately decide.

With his team at @NAACP_LDF, #Marshall worked to create an America that didn't exist and for which there was no blueprint. And they created the concept of the "civil rights lawyer" - attorneys who fight to ensure that the rule of law protects those at the margins.
@NAACP_LDF As a Justice, he brought his experience as a civil rts atty & his intellect to bear on the most wrenching legal issues of the late 20th century. And he was unwavering in bringing the truth of how the law really works in the lives of Black people into the Supreme Court conference.
@NAACP_LDF As Justice White once remarked, "Thurgood could tell us the way it was." But more importantly Justice White wrote, Marshall, "would tell us things we knew but would rather forget." A legal giant. His example is ever before us. #ThurgoodMarshall

After the tears and the verdict, we learn more about Amber Guyer at the sentencing phase. This woman should never have been a police ofcr, armed by the state. The Dallas Police Dept has to answer some questions. wfaa.com/article/news/s…
Identify the ofcrs w/whom she had these communications & take disciplinary action up to termination. Reveal civilian complaints lodged against her. Review her arrests and other incidents involving use of force. Work w prosecutors to vacate sentences & expunge where apropriate.
And this, at a minimum, should be standard protocol whenever an ofcr is found to have engaged in racist communications or acts.

The directive to freeze UKR aid came in June.

6/5/19: Zelenskiy spoke with Kushner & Rick Perry at a dinner in Brussels.

Trump used Pence to tell Zelensky that U.S. aid was still being withheld while demanding more aggressive ‘action on corruption’
💣Triggered2💣

Rick Perry says he'll cooperate with Congress on Ukraine questions

The Ukrainians likely understood Pence’s ‘action on corruption’ code to include the inv’n of the Bidens.

Trump's erratic foreign policy is diminishing the US's standing on the world stage.
💣Triggered3💣

Pence’s NatSec advisor was on the 7/25 call & the VP should have had access to the transcript w/in hours

Trump’s use of Pence is part of a broader pattern of using both exec authority & high-ranking officials in his adm to advance his personal/political interests

Trump announces he has canceled a secret meeting at Camp David with Taliban leaders set for Sunday – three days before the 18th anniversary of September 11 –after a car bombing in Kabul nytimes.com/2019/09/07/us/…
Thread from a pre-eminent expert on Afghanistan & former senior advisor to the State Department's special representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan. (h/t @metaquest)
.@BRRubin nailed it.

"At Camp David, separate meetings with each side would then lead to a grand announcement by Trump.

The Taliban leaders, however, compared the proposal to the Americans’ tricking them into political suicide."

@RashidaTlaib @Ilhan The 63 million include "leaders" of the #GOP, who always have a mute button on when it comes to their Dear Leader's pronouncements!

200,000 protesters will also do their utmost to make Trump feel unwelcome.
Even Conservative Party members want no part of the #TrumpUKVisit:

"The divisive, dog-whistle rhetoric in his @TheSun interview is repulsive . If signing up to the #Trump world view is the price of a deal, it’s not worth paying"
Bravo to May for refusing to indulge #Trump's racism.

"The UK has a proud history of welcoming people who are fleeing persecution .. people who want to come to our country to contribute .. Immigration has been good for the UK" (^ @ddale8) #TrumpUKVisit

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
