Republican faux outrage ignores that Nunes was not targeted by any subpoena — a somewhat important fact.

Nunes did call a subpoenaed target, so his records came up. That’s different.

You can’t complain about being wrongfully wiretapped when you call the crook whose phone has been wiretapped.

You can’t complain about being wrongfully surveilled if you go to a warehouse being surveilled for drug trafficking.
No one targeted YOU; maybe you shouldn’t have been in the warehouse or on that guy’s phone.

In her confirmation hearing, Chairman Neumayr agreed that climate change is real, that it’s a major issue for coastal states like Rhode Island, and that some of our most important financial institutions are warning about the dire threats it poses.

Now, she’s proposing to neuter the environmental law that ensures the government’s most consequential decisions account for the effects of climate change.
We didn’t need more proof that the fossil fuel industry has hardwired the Trump administration to deliver on its interests, but we got it anyway.

.@GeoffreySupran is right: obtaining fossil fuel corporate documents is “one of the most important actions Congress could take to address the climate crisis.” The House must act.
theguardian.com/business/2020/…
"The reality is that as much as we know about fossil fuel interests’ denial and delay, we’ve really found those skeletons in the closet just by looking through a tiny keyhole – everything we know is based on just a few hundred documents scrounged from various sources."
"From my perspective every indication of this evidence is once that closet door gets blown open, the skeletons are going to come tumbling out."

.@NOAA: “particularly endangered” are Alaska and the Florida Keys, so where’s the climate action?
@NOAA "Alaska waters are especially vulnerable to [ocean acidification]. Most vulnerable are Alaska communities that rely on subsistence crab harvests and communities with fishing economies."
@NOAA "Alaska's seafood industry employs more than 50,000 people, pays $2 billion a year in wages, and includes the nation's largest and most valuable crab fishery.”

Why aren't Americans taking about the foreign influence in the US government that continues to send our men and woman to fight immoral wars?

#Trump when he campaigned for president, before he decided to let Adelson fund his campain!

Adelson was one of the biggest donors to Trumps presidential campain. Adelsons company saved 670 million dollars from the massive republican tax break. Adelson did not support the Iran deal & wanted the US embassy moved to Jerusalem.

Adelson has a direct line to #potus!

Adelson has private in-person meetings & phone conversations about once a month with #Trump!

Adelson used his access to move the embassy in Israel to Jerusalem and cut aid to Palestinians.

Evidence suggests it's more likely than not PSY-GROUP, the ISRAELI social media manipulation firm headed by JOEL ZAMEL, interfered in the 2016 US election.

This comprehensive timeline tells the story of all-things "Psy-Group," making reference to 21 articles on the subject. /1
Although Mueller investigated Psy-Group, Joel Zamel, and Zamel's other companies WIKISTRAT and WHITEKNIGHT, I found it interesting his redacted report doesn't make a single reference to them.

So I decided to explore Psy-Group in-depth for clues as to their role in 2016. /2
The biggest clues that Psy-Group played a part in 2016 are:

1. Jan 2016: Curious job postings began
2. Mar 2016: First outreach to Trump campaign
3. After Election: NADER paid Zamel $2M
4. Dec 2016: WhiteKnight sold presentation on how social media campaigns helped Trump win /3

#Republican students @Portland_State hosted racist Alt-Right troll Mike Mahoney, who was hired by Unite the Right speaker and neo-Nazi troll Baked Alaska to work for Milo Yiannopoulos, but had to be monitored due to his racist and anti-Semitic posts. rosecityantifa.org/articles/mike-…
According to report from @RoseCityAntifa, Mahoney was given the #Milkshake treatment.
An expose by Buzzfeed news on Milo and his deep connections to those in the Alt-Right and neo-Nazi scene first put a spotlight on Mahoney. buzzfeednews.com/article/joseph…

Conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsi in plea negotiations with Mueller, which could shed light on whether Trump or his advisers were linked to WikiLeaks’ release of hacked Democratic emails in 2016 washingtonpost.com/politics/stone…
"Word is friend in embassy plans 2 more dumps. One shortly after I'm back. 2nd in Oct. Impact planned to be very damaging."

Corsi informed Stone about the planned WikiLeaks Dem email releases 2 months in advance.

And Mueller has the exchange. nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
"Stone responded, "Get to (Assange) [a]t Ecuadorian Embassy in London and get the pending (WikiLeaks) emails."

Corsi passed the request along to conservative author Ted Malloch in London"
