“The Financial Times contacted all 53 Republican senators on Thursday to ask if they were concerned that Mr Trump had encouraged China, a US adversary, to investigate the Bidens... not one of the members responded via their staff to express any concern.” ft.com/content/7946df…
This is Senator Mike Lee’s (R-UT) spokesperson.

We learned today that one serving State Dept. official described Trump’s scheme to pressure Ukraine in text messages as “withhold[ing] security assistance for help with a political campaign.”
One of the worst things about this is one GOP Senator has said he would be extremely concerned less than two weeks ago. All he had to do was follow his own stated principle.

But, unfortunately for us all, he’s Mitt Romney.

I would urge people not to pin their hopes on Romney but to observe these next few hours whether he influences any other Senators.
Rubio as of this morning was saying “it’s not a real request.”
I don’t understand how that’s a tenable line for Rubio after “Russia, if you’re listening” led to Russian hacking activity the same night and the emergence into public light of this full court press on Ukraine to make them act against Biden. But there’s a lot I don’t understand.

Senator Cornyn says Trump’s DOJ is investigating Vice President Biden.
While the Russia investigation into certain Trump associates began in 2016, word of it never leaked before the election, and several of those associates were charged and convicted. The broad expert consensus is Trump would’ve been charged too, were it not forbidden by DOJ policy.
It’s not clear whether Sen. Cornyn is confused or deliberately lying about the news that Trump is cajoling and coercing FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS to investigate Trump’s political rival, or he’s revealing the actual existence of a Trump DOJ Investigation into Trump’s political rival.

"Any foreign interference in our elections is unacceptable." - Sen. Ron Johnson (R - WI), July 13, 2018 news8000.com/news/politics/…
Sen. Ron Johnson 10 days ago. usatoday.com/story/news/pol…
“Ukrainian efforts, abetted by a U.S. political party, to interfere in the [...] election should not be ignored. Such allegations of corruption deserve due scrutiny, and the American people have a right to know when foreign forces attempt to undermine our democratic processes.”

#China backtracked on nearly all aspects of #US trade deal - All of us that follow & know China knew that this was never going to fly. You can't negotiate with a rogue, predatory state like China. This is for the better. mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/id…
The diplomatic cable from Beijing arrived in Washington late on Friday night, with systematic edits to a nearly 150-page draft trade agreement that would blow up months of negotiations. The document was riddled with reversals by China that undermined core US demands, sources said
In each of the 7 chapters of the draft trade deal, China deleted its commitments to change laws to resolve core complaints that caused the US to launch a trade war: theft of US IP & trade secrets; forced tech transfers; competition policy; access to financial services, etc, etc.

1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.

Mr. @POTUS #Trump the #MendocinoComplexFires now = LARGEST in #California history, yet you haven't shown a modicum of compassion or concern. Rather, you've made bizarrely blamed "bad environmental laws," failure to chop down trees & water dumping.
Let's look at reality:

1.) Western America is historically prone to drought cycles, but the last 20 yrs have broken all records. Groundwater is no longer replenished, and year-2-yr changes are visible from Space. (red = 100% loss of ground H20) [more]

2.) Temperatures are soaring, with mean seasonal heat higher annually. California, to put it in your simple terms @realDonaldTrump , is getting HOTTER.

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
