Today's newsletter -- Trump's EO on anti-Semitism is a good concept, with flawed execution. Yes, include anti-Semitism in Title VI, but shed the guidance that directly implicates constitutionally-protected speech: frenchpress.thedispatch.com/p/the-promise-…
The EO can and should strike a better balance on speech:

Regarding Trump's border wall, Congress made a specific appropriation, and Trump can't expand that appropriation by twisting inapplicable statutes. The judge made the right call to block wall funding: frenchpress.thedispatch.com/p/the-promise-…

Right-wing populism is in bed with too many racists, and so long as it gives aid and comfort (including on Fox prime time) to some of the worst voices in American life, it’s doomed ultimately to fail. And it will richly deserve that demise when it comes. frenchpress.thedispatch.com/p/right-wing-p…
Even setting aside justice, morality, and national unity, it's just math. Right-wing populists repel (sometimes on purpose!) educated voters, but without black and Hispanic allies, there just aren't enough votes out there to sustain a movement. frenchpress.thedispatch.com/p/right-wing-p…
But try to seriously explore the race problem in right-wing populism. Just try it. The mandarins of populist political correctness will come down on you like a ton of bricks. frenchpress.thedispatch.com/p/right-wing-p…

Stop “vulture capitalism,” vote for the guy who started Trump University.

Re-start the war on porn, vote for the guy who appeared in Playboy videos.

Outside the conservative bubble, none of this makes much sense: frenchpress.thedispatch.com/p/common-good-…
Balancing the serious and the fun, I also defend myself against @JonahDispatch’s reckless pop culture aggression by making the comprehensive case for DC over Marvel, including restating the argument for Aquaman. frenchpress.thedispatch.com/p/common-good-…

In today's newsletter, I dive into the IG report -- a document that is hardly the exoneration that many people claim. I also dip into the conservative porn wars. Ban? Nope. Zone? Yes. frenchpress.thedispatch.com/p/the-good-bad…
Was James Comey's triumphant tweet after the IG report was released a proper response? frenchpress.thedispatch.com/p/the-good-bad…
Regarding this weekend's porn debate, let's take a page from the recent past. Remember zoning: frenchpress.thedispatch.com/p/the-good-bad…

Americans are once again allowing the Republican and Democrat party divide us over race, when in fact race is not the issue! Please look at the foreign policies these woman support, and the policies they do not support! This is not about race & we must address the real issues!
@AyannaPressley, @RashidaTlaib, @IlhanMN, @AOC.

I ask for Americans to please look at the human policies these woman are addressing. I ask Americans to actually research the US Foreign Policy that causes massive Refugees and Endless War.
I ask Americans to look at who is funding the election campaigns of their representatives. I ask Americans to question why we are continously at war, when it does not benefit the United States! I ask Americans to research the foreign influence that controls US policy!

@realDonaldTrump @1100Penn @npenzenstadler Last night a gala was held to celebrate students who committed to enlist in the U.S. military after graduation. It was held at—

ICYMI: #Trump Sold Out US Farms to #Putin who profits from Tariffs & Supplies China ALL it Needs

This is market share, farmland & Treasury the US will NEVER get back. Not to mention, Democracy handed over to Foreign Powers.

#Putin Gives Thanks: US Surrendered the ME & US Farmers

Putin said on Wednesday, Russia would supply soy beans & poultry meat to China because the US had effectively 'given up' on that market.

No, the US Farmer was SOLD OUT.
#ImpeachTheMF #GOPShutdown

China buys Bankrupt US Farms to cut out the middleman & compete in US Food Supply. Specifically, Alibaba is targeting Walmart.

#Trump & Bankers describe these foreclosure steals as 'good business' just like Wilbur Ross' US mortgage crisis.

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.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

National politics correspondent for Newsweek, Nina Burleigh, with a fun find on a TV above the bar at the Trump Hotel DC bit.ly/2E37QRR
Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
