As smoke from several wildfires blankets several areas of California, a reminder that its effects can linger for months: revealnews.org/article/the-sm…
As part of an analysis we completed last year, we found that emergency room visits in CA surged several months after a previous large wildfire was extinguished.
If you're in the #BayArea, we suggest following our friends at @KQED for updates about smoke conditions near you. #KincadeFire

1/ This #VeteransDay, here's a look back at some of our most notable veterans coverage from recent years ... revealnews.org/topic/veterans/
2/ In April, @Jasper_Craven reported that as the VA has become an increasingly attractive target for corporate lobbying, former Rep. Jeff Miller has emerged as a one-man gatekeeping operation. revealnews.org/article/how-ex…
3/ In 2018, @jasper_craven and @suzannecgordon found that private companies are racing to develop treatments for a massive surge in veterans’ PTSD.

Meanwhile, some psychiatrists are warning it’s junk science. revealnews.org/article/vas-me…

1/ 🎤 [Taps mic] 🎤

We're thrilled to announce that we've just unveiled a brand-new @reveal Reporting Network.

This one is about U visas – and all the ways U.S. law enforcement has put up barriers for immigrant crime victims. revealnews.org/welcome-to-rev…
2/ Some context:

The U visa is supposed to protect immigrant crime victims that cooperate with law enforcement.

But across the country, police are undermining it.

@lauracmorel's brand-new investigation, out today: revealnews.org/article/the-u-…
3/ How does this work?

Well, when victims pursue the visa, they are dropped into a capricious system in which law enforcement officials decide on their own which cases to support or decline.

1/ In 2000, Congress created a visa that established protections for immigrant crime victims.

This "U visa" helps them get legal status if they cooperate with cops.

We found that police across the US are routinely denying victims access to this relief. revealnews.org/article/the-u-…
2/ For years, immigrants have feared calling police for fear of being deported, even when they’re the victim of a crime.

Lawmakers created the U visa to provide temporary status to immigrant victims.

It also helps law enforcement crack down on crime.
3/ Police or prosecutors need to confirm that a victim was “helpful” in the investigation by signing a five-page form.

Without it, victims can’t even apply for the U visa.

“Law enforcement holds that power,” one Florida immigration attorney said.

1/ @realDonaldTrump tweeted today that "bad environmental laws" are making #wildfires worse. It's actually #climatechange. Nevada wildfire
@realDonaldTrump 2/ One study found that from 1984 to 2015, #climatechange doubled the area burned by wildfires across the West. hcne.ws/2neGl1c
@realDonaldTrump 3/ Research supports the correlation between #climatechange & #fire seasons that start earlier and end later, with more days of extreme “fire weather.” hcne.ws/2Ju9TFU #Opinion

(1) The #California Legislature is panicking tonight. They're currently presented with a watered-down #ConsumerProtection bill that would require tech companies to disclose the data collected on users, and delete the data collected on them at request. leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavC…
(2) This bill poses a huge threat to the profits of FAANG corporations, and it poses a threat to the companies who rely on this data to sell advertisers and political groups analytics on prospective consumers/voters.

Why is it such a problem, though?
(3) The #CCPA is actually quite milquetoast, as it's written now. But if they don't pass this bill, California has a much bigger problem coming for them in November: the will of the people.

1. While #California numbers aren’t entirely in, let’s take a dive into Super Tuesday in terms of the strategies we employed at @DemsWork4USA and what the primary results mean for November.
2. We’re extremely proud of the results in #NewMexico and #Iowa where all our endorsed candidates won. We don’t always feature state legislature seats as with IA, but do so when we have strong candidates than will both build the bench and drive momentum at the top of the ticket.
3. In #NewJersey we won all but 1 of our endorsements. We realized that Tanzie Youngblood would not likely take the nomination, but she is well positioned for seeking a state legislative seat in the special election and bringing Jeff Van Drew along to a more progressive appeal.

Reminder: Comey committed several crimes when he took FBI memo that contained classified information with him after he was fired as FBI director.

I wrote this July of last year:

drawandstrike.blogspot.com/2017/07/why-sp…
People who always assumed Comey was going to walk on this are wrong. Goodlatte/Nunes/Gowdy are about to publicly make the case for charging Comey with theft of classified material and leaking of FBI work product.
The fact he perjured himself before Congress numerous times under oath is going to be the LEAST of the problems Comey has.
