1/ Make no mistake: @realDonaldTrump is trying to please another authoritarian strongman instead of standing w/ our allies. His reckless twitter announcement undermines U.S safety, empowers the Islamic State, Russia & Assad. It will create more humanitarian chaos in the region.
2/ What did Trump and Turkish President Erdoğan discuss in their phone call before this announcement? Were any promises exchanged for this disastrous and unplanned withdrawal that paved the way for Turkey to move into Syria?
3/ This decision (made without consulting the Pentagon or State Dept.) will likely cause hundreds of thousands of civilians and internally displaced people living near the border to flee, in addition to disrupting ongoing humanitarian operations. This is a disaster in the making.

For over 50 years, America’s economic blockade against Cuba has been a complete failure. That's why I traveled to Cuba w/ @rosadelauro to build upon President Obama’s constructive dialogue between our countries and extend a hand of friendship to the Cuban people.
Not only does our embargo hurt the Cuban people, it hurts America, too. There are lifesaving medicines that have been developed and produced in Cuba that are not available here because of our policies. Our businesses want to trade w/ Cuba, but they can’t because of our sanctions.
During our trip, we met with Cuban entrepreneurs and biotechnology researchers, alongside with their American counterparts, to discuss opportunities for collaboration and investment.

1/ Another ridiculous lie from @realDonaldTrump.

From day one, @HouseDemocrats have been focused on delivering on our promises to the American people. Meanwhile, Mitch McConnell calls himself the “grim reaper” and refuses to even consider our bills.
2/ We have the receipts to back it up.
We passed #HR1, the For The People Act — the most ambitious set of ethics & election reforms in a generation. It gets big money out of politics, protects voting rights & strengthens ethics laws.
3/ We passed the #EqualityAct to ensure #LGBTQ Americans get the same legal protection as everyone else.

Proud to vote yes on @RepPerlmutter’s #SAFEBankingAct just now.

Conflict between state & federal law means legal cannabis businesses are forced to operate on a cash-only basis creating a serious public safety risk.
Now, we need to decriminalize and deschedule cannabis while providing reinvestment, restorative justice & expungement to persons & communities of color that continue to be adversely impacted by the War on Drugs.
That‘s why I am a strong supporter of the MORE Act. I look forward to voting for the MORE Act as soon as it progresses through the @HouseJudiciary Committee.

Here’s a lesson for Democrats on how to have courage—and what happens when you quit cowering and take a stand. A week ago Thurs at the ABC News Democratic presidential debate, candidate Beto O’Rourke made this proclamation, one that no Democratic prez candidate had EVER made:
“Hell yes we are going to take away your AR-15, your AK-47s!” The audience in Houston went crazy w/ wild applause, many leaping to their feet to show their approval of what he just said. But the Democratic Party establishment was aghast. They went into immediate damage control...
...dispatching their pundits to the talk shows to try to distance the Party from O’Rourke’s comments. They were convinced that his bold warning to gun nuts would hurt the Democrats in November2020. For years the Dems have been afraid 2 b seen as anti-gun. Dem candidates always...

Twitter seems to be banning or suspending accounts belonging to critics of the Chinese government. It started yesterday May 31th. Here is one report - I noticed a sudden loss of followers yesterday, I checked, it was mainly China critics. Twitter❤️🇨🇳 Amazing! @mouse @1GigiSims
This is happening as an effort to silence #China critics ahead of the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre, which is next Tuesday. Twitter is helping China do its dirty work to silence the legitimate opposition. Twitter has hit a new all time low! 👎👎👎
One other possibility that can't be discounted is that the #Chinese government is hacking into Twitter and is deleting the accounts of Chinese critics. I did hear reports in the past, that Chinese hackers were able to get into Twitter & do that.

1. #QAnon's drops can require some time for personal analysis and input from the many good people digging. Here's my summary of key intel from the last week+ (1/19 - 1/27) of #Q drops. For Twitter efficiency, I will provide the direct link to the related posts as I review.
2. Chuckie Schumer was put on notice by #POTUS that his role in #Treason is known. Did you notice how # Schumer sulked away to the corner after his failed shutdown effort? 8ch.net//qresearch/res…
3. Read this whole #Q post as it has so much meaning. "Will Sessions drop the Hammer?" HAMMER refers to the very secretive NSA spying program. The same tools used to spy on #Trump will be their undoing. 8ch.net//greatawakenin…
