1/* (THREAD) This @Comey op-ed lays bare a glaring problem in #PutinsGOP's defense of #TRE45ON's total disregard for his oath of office - doing so is fundamentally at odds with, and violative of, their own oaths of office:

#OneVoice1
washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/…
2/* What we'd witnessed during the campaign made very clear #TRE45ON exaggerated/lied about essentially everything, but I think many of us still held out hope things would improve once he realized the awesome responsibility of the Presidency:

3/* Obviously, that didn't happen, as immediately things got worse, "period!" This is a terrific piece by @benjaminwittes & @qjurecic examining the issue of how should 'We The People' react when the #PABOTUS daily disregards his oath of office:

4/* @qjurecic had previously addressed #TRE45ON's over-the-top mendacity in way, at the time it was written, I hadn't considered but now fully accept: To an uninformed, stupid and extremely narcissistic person, "facts" don't really exist:

#OneVoice1
lawfareblog.com/bullshit-and-o…
5/* For the rest of us, however, facts do exist and do matter, and "alternative facts" are just lies. 'We The People' must be able to trust our Chief Executive, which is why the Founding Fathers put the Presidential oath in the Constitution:

#OneVoice1
npr.org/templates/stor…
6/* As it stands, only @HouseDemocrats and @justinamash have respected their oaths by executing their duty to investigate what appears to be #TRE45ON's impeachable violations of his oath of office:

#OneVoice1
history.house.gov/Institution/Or…
7/* Thus, if/when this 'President' is impeached, @SenateGOP: Will you uphold YOUR oath to "support and defend the Constitution ... against all enemies, foreign and domestic ... and faithfully discharge" your duty?

If not, the experiment ends.

1/5 Excellent article detailing the planning and process involved when the President speaks on the phone with a foreign leader ... as opposed to what #TRE45On does - and although it's about what you'd expect, it's still jaw dropping ⚖️🙄🇺🇸

2/5 For those who've heard about it but haven't read it, this is an annotated version of the whistleblower complaint that basically provides CliffsNotes giving extra details and context to each section:

3/5 Here is what's being called the "transcript" of the call, but more accurately described as a "read out" in that although it's still a really bad look for #TRE45ON, there appears to be some missing content. LOTS of "Rudy Giuliani" mentions:

1/9 (THREAD) Although impeachment investigations against #TRE45ON are currently focused on the Ukraine call, as the inquiry expands, there needs to be a concurrent investigation into AG Bill Barr's conduct, because nobody has done more to destroy the rule of law:
#Onevoice1
2/9 People worried about who would replace Jeff Sessions were relieved when Barr was nominated because supposedly was "a rule of law guy." However, in Barr's previous stint as H.W. Bush's AG, he devised 41's "pardon away impeachment" strategy:

3/9 Confirmed in February, Barr immediately began his assault on the rule of law by ending DoJ investigations that were initiated based on evidence of criminal activity uncovered by the Mueller investigation, but not in Mueller's purview:

1/5 Minneapolis has it right: #TRE45ON's campaign boasted about raising $15M in just the 3 days following @HouseDemocrats' announcement of formal impeachment proceedings, yet his campaign has left a trial of financial destruction in its wake
#OneVoice1

2/5 #TRE45ON's campaign rally in February cost the City of El Paso $470K - which he still refuses to pay. Adding insult to injury - and despite being asked NOT to come, he visited the grieving City right after the shooting he helped to cause.

#OneVoice1

texastribune.org/2019/08/05/don…
3/5 Minnepolis and El Paso are far from alone - at least 10 other cities are hurting because #TRE45ON's campaign refuses to pay the costs these cities incurred having MAGA rallies imposed on them:

#Thread. Alright let’s deal with the Hecht Op-Ed/steaming pile of crap. First from a journalism perspective it should never have been published. It is a hot mess of exaggerations, fiction, and leaps of conclusion to fit the author’s - ignorant - narrative.
First never mind #Denmark I found the the most puzzling statement to be about #Switzerland, below. The Swiss are not governed by four ethnic governments with each ethnicity sticking to their fourth of the country. This claim, as far as I can tell, is total fiction.
Matter of fact after an afternoon researching Swiss governance, ethnicity, etc. The descriptions of #Switzerland used common terms like “diverse” “a melting pot.” Having been to Zurich it is also very nice and well worth a trip.

[THREAD] More on the @HolocaustMuseum statement and the letter of concern from the scholarly community.

There are some misunderstandings going on that need to be addressed.

Let's talk about this. Warning: long #thread

THREAD:

Hillary’s op-ed is well-reasoned, measured, and poignant.

She accurately points out that we — myself included — need to slow down on the castigation of Congress.

washingtonpost.com/opinions/hilla…
I try to always be measured, but I’m getting impatient. Hillary is right, though; Congress is doing what they’re supposed to.

She reminds us all of what is usually my own constant refrain: we have to get this right.
More importantly, she urges Dems to not become bogged down with *only* going after Trump. The facts will lead us to impeachment, that is almost incontrovertible.

She reminds them we elected them to not only hold Trump accountable, but to focus on a sensible agenda.

Personal PR can add value to a freelancer's work. Now that you're an instant expert on X after publishing a story about it, how many ways can you talk about it & then get seen by other editors or producers, and maybe get more work? #Thread #PRforwriters #scicomm #amwriting #PR
Radio shows & some podcasts have producers: listen to recent eps then find their 'about us' page and send a short pitch to the person whose purview looks like a good fit for you. Here's one I booked myself onto recently, on a subject I cover for @mongabay cchange.net/2018/10/30/eri…
Say how your recent story about X is a good fit, given their previous coverage of X (demonstrating that you do your homework and are not in the business of wasting a personal finance #podcast producer's time with your pitch about squirrel intelligence). #prforwriters #scicomm #PR

I see the @EFFSouthAfrica troops are now out in force threatening me with racial insults and violence. Ok, lickspittles: let me give you a history lesson. #Thread

This story broke in 1992 before many of these EFF bots were even conceptual spermatozoa independent.co.uk/news/world/let…
"WINNIE MANDELA'S persistent denial of accusations that she misappropriated African National Congress funds and had an affair with a young lawyer were contradicted yesterday by publication in the South African press of a letter she wrote to her lover."
"The letter, dated 17 March and signed 'It's me', reveals how Mrs Mandela's relationship with Dali Mpofu - who at 30 is about half her age - helped wreck her marriage to Nelson Mandela."
