Please allow me to introduce you to Lisa Page (@NatSecLisa), who tells me she is done sitting around and waiting for the storm to blow over.

You should follow her.

She has a lot to say.
She gave a searing interview to @MollyJongFast, which you should read:
thedailybeast.com/lisa-page-spea…
She is a person of remarkable substance. She is also kind and funny and tenacious. She has her mistakes.
But her story should make all of us think about this question: Should the president get to point at you and ruin your life with mockery and lies? And should the Justice Department assist in that endeavor?

A few thoughts in advance of Monday's release of the IG report on the Russia investigation:
(1) It is important to remember the big questions and allegations that make Mr. Horowitz's investigation important: The President has publicly alleged a treasonous conspiracy at the FBI to spy on his campaign and take him down. He has alleged the bureau was engaged in a coup.
The attorney general has lent support to the notion that the FBI has lied about when and how the investigation began. The GOP leadership of the House Intelligence Committee has suggested that a FISA warrant was procured improperly. The key question therefore: is any of this true?

Two pieces published today. With @Hilary_Hurd, I wrote this analysis of Senate impeachment rules, which tries to imagine Trump’s coming trial under the rules that will govern it:

And with @qjurecic, I wrote this @TheAtlantic column on the return of Bob Mueller:

Also recorded a podcast on war powers with @timkaine, but that’ll be out tomorrow...

Huh, so you mean no coup and no spying on the Trump campaign either? nytimes.com/2019/11/27/us/… via @NYTimes
What are all those nice people on Twitter who have been kindly writing me notes about how I am going to be locked up at #gitmo going to do?
I have a special #Gitmo rendition bag, which I packed and keep ready for when QAnon announces the roundup. @petestrzok insists he gets top bunk, but I have lots of snacks and stuff. What am I gonna do with them now?

Leaders of the #ProudBoys are telling troops in the lead up to a far-Right rally in #Portland on August 17th, ironically against "domestic terrorism," to "tone down" threats of violence + murder on social media in wake of visit from the FBI. A thread. itsgoingdown.org/proud-boy-lead…
After a month of making clear + direct threats of violence + even murder against the public in #Portland, leaders of the #ProudBoys in #Florida are now urging those on the far-Right to "tone down" rhetoric online following a string of mass shootings. Organizer Joe Biggs explains:
#ProudBoys claim to be rallying in #Portland against "domestic terrorism" of antifascists, who have killed no one. Since Unite the Right, which the Proud Boys helped organize and attended, 73 people have been killed by white nationalists + the far-Right. adl.org/blog/two-years…

FVEYs, USIC CounterInteligence & FBI’s CrossFire Hurricane Investigations
April (2016) the CIA director was shown intelligence that worried him. It was - allegedly - a tape recording of a conversation about money from the Kremlin going into the US presidential campaign.

🔑The taskforce included six agencies or departments of government. Dealing with the domestic, US, side of the inquiry, were the FBI, the Department of the Treasury, and the Department of Justice.

#ConcentrationCamps + mass deportations aren't new in American history. Yet over the past few weeks, social movements have made it, delivering one of the largest blows against Trumpism since the airport blockades defeated the Muslim Ban. A thread + report. itsgoingdown.org/cracks-in-the-…
In the last few days, #AbolishICE protesters surrounded + shut down the DC based ICE headquarters + BNP Paribas, which owns Bank of the West, became the latest in a growing collection of big banks; Bank of America, SunTrust, JP Morgan Chase + Wells Fargo to divest from ICE.
This follows a public relations disaster of both Trump's most recent racist comments and Pence lying about conditions at an ICE facility. Meanwhile, the Right is doubling down that massive turnout in the streets is all because of "incendiary rhetoric" from Democrats like AOC.

Please allow me to introduce the unfortunate crew of the Dryad (1828), courtesy of its surgeon, who clearly wanted to be a writer

1. 28-year-old James Connor, boatswain's mate, who accidentally stabbed himself in the penis while messing about in front of his mates
2. 25-year-old John Irving, an irritable assistant surgeon, who developed a fever after indulging in ‘shore excursions & Picnic Parties where Prudence did not always preside’ & falling into a pond 💦🤒
3. 27-year-old officer of the marines Stephen Waite: ‘one of those handsome dull Subjects, so frequently promoted on account of the beauty of their persons, with little regard to Intellect or ability of any Kind’

... Good to see the doctor keeping to the issue at hand

Who is the legendary Roseanne?

The answer isn't as simple main stream media would have you believe. Many times celebrities are reduced to what we see on screen and their accomplishments, talents and passions are overlooked.

Please allow me to introduce u to @therealroseanne...
COMEDIAN

Roseanne hit the scene, frequenting clubs & bars, eventually landing her 1st TV appearance in 1985 on Johnny Carsons Tonight Show. She was an instant hit and returned many more times. The invites from famous stages have poured in ever since.
COMEDY SPECIALS

Roseanne was quickly becoming a household name and HBO took notice after a skit in 1986. They offered her, her own special: "ON LOCATION: The Roseanne Barr Show", the first of several that she would get, including LIVE FROM TRUMP CASTLE and "Blonde & Bitchin".
