A Lev Parnas "told ya so" thread.
I don't want to overstate this new evidence, but there are some whoppers and new questions.
Parnas will be a witness.
Again:
"I wouldn't want to be a Senator engineering a cover-up non-trial when a bombshell may be around the corner."
1/
2/ The most creepy/ominous exchange is here:
A former GOP candidate Robert Hyde - scary misogynist (more on him below) - is hinting at something when he is stalking Yovanovitch, talking about getting rid of her, and texts:
"They are willing to help if we/you would like a price"
3/ Robert F. Hyde was a GOP candidate for the House who was more infamous for a grotesquely sexist tweet about @SenKamalaHarris.
First, here are his deeply creepy tweets to Lev Parnas:

Wealth Tax's Constitutionality?
I've been skeptical, so I was re-reading Hylton v. U.S. (1796) upholding a carriage tax.
Justice Chase's dicta at 3 U.S. 175 is strong evidence in favor of its constitutionality, and I think it has been overlooked in the public debate.
1/
2/ Chase:
"I am inclined to think, but of this I do not give a judicial opinion, that the direct taxes contemplated by the Constitution, are only two, to wit, a capitation, or poll tax, simply, without regard to property, profession, or any other circumstance; & a tax on LAND..."
3/ Chase, continued:
"I doubt whether a tax, by a general assessment of personal property, within the United States, is included within the term direct tax."

Thus Chase thought a wealth tax would not run afoul of the direct tax/apportionment rule in Art. I, Sec 9, cl 4.

Now that it's clear there was no "imminent" threat or "immanent" threat, Trump's new legal argument is that the US took Soleimani by "eminent" domain?
Here's a discussion of "immanent" threat, with apologies to @atrupar (a misspelling was an excuse for a bad theology joke).
And h/t @joshchafetz
@atrupar @joshchafetz Trump deleted his tweet. I guess an advisor's correction was imminent. (And Trump hadn't read any briefing on "imminence.")
But his "corrected" tweet here is classic:
"The answer to both is a strong YES."
Both?
He means it was both imminent and not imminent?

Justice Is Coming.

THERE IS NO ESCAPE.

Now, then - about that laptop. You know - the 'insurance file' ....

Your team didn't get the original, did they? Rudy still has it, huh?

And that whole business at JE's NY pad - the Safe - what did JE give up to get set free?
Who's coming to town next week?

Do you recall?

First, he'll cover Ukraine. But, for dessert ....
Just a little stroll down memory lane. I'm making popcorn right now! Can't wait....

Thursday, maybe?
Here's the cherry for this Ice Cream Sunday!

What is the Nakba? What are Palestinians in Gaza and elsewhere protesting over?

I want to share with you one Nakba story, #MyNakbaStory in this thread.
Have a look at this picture from Palestine. The young man on the left is my Sido (grandfather). This is from the late 1920s to early 1930s. My great grandmother is seated in the foreground with her three sons behind her. They are from al-Lyd.
My great grandfather is not pictured because he died at a young age when my Sido was a toddler. This meant my great grandmother had a be a hero and raise three boys on her own, uneducated and illiterate, she worked what jobs she could to raise them.

New #PA Congressional map is pretty much the best one Democrats could have hoped for. At least 2 pickups in neutral environment, likely ability to win 11 in current D+6 environment. Post coming
PA redraw creates map that is almost entirely drawn from scratch. Huge shifts from 2016 plan all over the place. Dems favored to win 9 seats there in almost any national environment.
(big swings mostly from renumbering, but aggregate differences are clear)
