@ThePlumLineGS @joshtpm @DanielleReed8 @joelockhart And remember, Syria and Ukraine, the 2 countries where Trump has repeatedly taken extraordinary steps which seem so at odds w/our own understandings of what would be proper, are the two nations where Russia is in active hot wars - so very high priority for his partner Putin.
@ThePlumLineGS @joshtpm @DanielleReed8 @joelockhart 2/And from an investigatory/oversight standpoint, once it has been established Trump was wiling to corruptly use US nat security apparatus for his private benefit, will REQUIRE an in depth look into his relations/calls w/other nations incl Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, China, Turkey.
@ThePlumLineGS @joshtpm @DanielleReed8 @joelockhart 3/Critical to recall that Christopher Steele, the author of the Trump dossier, was instrumental in helping US govt/FBI uncover a dirty web of global corruption involving many of these same nations. Parallels important here. washingtonpost.com/news/early-lea…
@ThePlumLineGS @joshtpm @DanielleReed8 @joelockhart 4/Which takes this thread to new, related developments in the UK. First, in what feels very Trumpian/Barrish, Boris Johnson is suppressing a report about Russia's interference in UK politics. theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/n…
@ThePlumLineGS @joshtpm @DanielleReed8 @joelockhart 5/Second, new questions about top Johnson aide's ties to Russia, and the same oligarch involved in our own growing Trump/Rudy/Fruman/Parnas/Ukraine scandal.
Dirty oil/gas money sloshing around everywhere.
@ThePlumLineGS @joshtpm @DanielleReed8 @joelockhart 6/Which takes us back to the @ThePlumLineGS's main point below - the unfolding Ukraine scandal is enormous. It is a new chapter in the ongoing dark Trump/Putin partnership; involves VP, SecState, others; will force look into Trump's deals w/other nations.
@ThePlumLineGS @joshtpm @DanielleReed8 @joelockhart 7/Which means House leadership has to be mindful of the difference between keeping things simple and making them simplistic. There comes a point where denying the enormity of what has happened here becomes distorting, inaccurate. Goal is to be truthful, honest not just simple.

1/Know Dems are trying to keep things on Impeachment simple, narrow. But how can we ignore the extraordinary criminality around Trump these past few years?

Let's start w/his top personal aide who's in jail in part for crimes he committed for/with him. apnews.com/8b9d39ea54374a…
2/Next up is first national security advisor, who barely lasted a month before having to resign, and who has admitted to multiple crimes already. msnbc.com/the-beat-with-…
3/Then there is his top 2016 campaign aide, Paul Manafort. Criminal extraordinaire, in jail, serving time. cnn.com/2019/03/07/pol…

Will be diving into this later today but 1st reaction is that I can’t really believe how she’s selling this - easy peasy, no costs, all the health care you want. No hard choices, and we get money back!

Not sure this is going to sound credible to folks. Nothing easy about this.
2/Great tension in Warren positioning is between data driven nerd w plans and leftist warrior. These things are not the same, and how she reconciles them in the days ahead will be consequential for her and the rest of the field.
3/For those who are weary of single payer, there is a way to express your support for the ACA - help promote the sign up period which begins today and runs only for six weeks.

Tens of millions rely on the ACA for their insurance - lets fight for them. usnews.com/opinion/thomas…

Fuck your @MLB. This is just too much.

In addition to everything else he beat the throw.
2/Gurriel also didn’t reach, and essentially misplayed the ball which caused the contact w Turner. So he and the Astros was rewarded for his misplaying the ball.
3/Tolerance for old men with bad eyes umpiring/reffing going to erode as technology becomes more ubiquitous.

So for those who don't know, I do post a great deal by @StateDept and @SecPompeo and they quickly turn into subject threads.. This week VERY important meetings have been held with our GCC partners as well as other allies in DC
So going back to the JP article on Russia bombing Iranian forces in Syria..If true the ground work Trump and Pompeo have laid out with the GCC is causing a paradigm shift. This could be a signal of a new beginning.

Who funds the IEA, the TPA, the ASI &co?
You know, the RW 'free trade' thick tanks advocating tax havens, "freedom" (no regulations like workers' rights or environmental protection), no welfare (no tax & no free healthcare).
Basically, "Only the wealthier survive" philosophy?
1/n
*Could it be* that it has something to do with defending their funders' interests?
Today, I'm going to tell you the Thick Tanks' Hydra tale.
Featuring Atlas, huge piles of money, tradition, "free speech", useful idiots and a very clear agenda that Brexit/Trump are a part of.
2/n
Take a seat: It's a long story, with a lot of players, including politicians, pretty ladies squatting your TV, the climate change denial's network, the global fascist movement, Silicon Valley/multiname data-stealing/misusing company & private companies' involved in elections.
3/n
