Thread, 1/4: Earlier today I said Trump had RTed, then removed, a post with the unsubstantiated name of the Ukraine whistleblower. Tonight, Twitter said that Trump never un-RTed the post. A Twitter glitch made it LOOK like he had removed it. I've updated my story w/ the new info.
2/4: It appeared, for most of the day, that Trump had removed the controversial retweet. Virtually his entire Friday night tweetstorm appeared to be missing from his timeline, when users checked in different browsers, on different devices, from different accounts.
3/4: On Saturday night Twitter said a software bug caused the blackout. A Twitter spokesman confirmed that Trump's account, plus millions of other accounts, were affected by the bug. Bottom line: Trump's retweet containing the purported name is still visible all around the world.
4/4: We've updated my @CNN story with a new headline:

"Trump attacks whistleblower in tweetstorm full of rants and conspiracies"

The Newseum is closing at the end of this month. It is a special place to so many. Earlier this year, I wandered the space for hours... this thread will show all the artifacts that I want to remember
This is a 301 year old newspaper — the Boston News-Letter — "the first successful newspaper in the Colonies"
Here's a 1740 copy of The Pennsylvania Gazette, published by Ben Franklin, and a later copy with a version of his unity political cartoon. "UNITE OR DIE"

Just how sick and poisoned has our information environment become? Here's an example that's made my Twitter mentions unreadable. (1/5)
Look at the replies to this 10 year old tweet about visiting a well-known bar on Manhattan's LES. (The address is even included in the tweet, which anyone can Google!) I used to share my location via Foursquare – can't anymore.
Today, people suddenly started replying to that tweet, falsely claiming I'm part of a Jeffrey Epstein conspiracy. That's not only completely factually incorrect and dangerous, it's nuts. And this insanity happens to all sorts of people, all the time. (3/5)

1) @ODNIgov Where did this logo come from?
@ODNIgov 2) Today I accessed your "Urgent Concern Disclosure Form." Again the document was posted in an odd way, with spaces in the name, on 9/24/2019 at 4:25:00 p.m. and then modified at 9/25/2019 at 2:39:15 p.m., using Acrobat PDFMaker for Word.

@ODNIgov 3) When I analyzed the document i clicked on the top of the page to see the properties, and saw that I was clicking on a graphic. I downloaded the graphic and searched Google Images.

Whose logo is this?

You this is politics but man must always have honor & respect for himself as a professional!
Earlier today DAWISU posted this video below.
Have it & enjoy it! Watch closely.
Then proceed to my next post!!!
I have never insulted DAWISU or call him names but today makes it the second time he is directly involving himself in an amateur unprofessional propaganda the first was the Dollar Videos!
Let’s assume RMK said it for a second!

But He went through the stress of picking an old unrelated video, blurring it, & doctoring audio file to match an Unmatched LIP SYNC.
Listen for yourself, I will post it all!

#Ukraine’s on the verge of martial law b/c #Russia just seriously escalated its 4yo illegal war—blocking key Kerch Strait, firing on & seizing 3 Ukrainian navy ships, wounding 6 Ukrainian sailors—AND Trump attacks NATO & EU. Appalling, terrifying & expected of a #PutinPuppet.
