Saturday Night Massacre press conference, from the 1989 TV movie of the Woodward/Bernstein book, The Final Days. (I didn’t know this TV movie existed?)
“I will tell the president why you’re in Florida — and why you want to see him.”
When Fred Buzhardt discovers the 18 and a 1/2 minute gap ...
Honestly, not a lot different than how the book presents it (except for not having Sam Powers in the room).

This @bentaub91 story is as horrifying as everyone says it is. newyorker.com/magazine/2020/…
Per Taub's meticulous reporting, it appears that the US government is attempting to extradite someone on a false allegation pinning him to a foreign killing where such extradition would almost certainly lead to his death.
The only alleged eyewitness to the foreign killing:

Query: Is talking about a music choice in season 2 of Sex Education, with no plot discussion needed, a spoiler that I should not tweet about yet?
OK. Did anyone else notice where Sex Ed went immediately from “Mystery of Love” to “Make Your Own Kind of Music,” and was I the only one to have been thinking about Call Me By Your Name and so the next song triggered thoughts of Beautiful Thing? Was that on purpose, do you think?
I guess actually discussing it would get into the related plot points, so, I’ll just let that sit out there for now! But, I would love to know if anyone else noticed/thought about that.

Donald Trump has shown the absolute inability of our institutions to deal with Donald Trump. The @USNatArchives is ALTERING IMAGES “so as not to engage in current political controversy.” No, the controversy is outside of your doors. You should be presenting the FACTS as they are.
“The display links momentous demonstrations for women’s rights more than a century apart on the same stretch of pavement,” but @USNatArchives is sending a message that the most recent demonstration must be hidden from public eyes.

How appalling and embarrassing.
You just need to recall Sean Spicer’s first protestation of this administration to understand what’s going on here: The @USNatArchives is afraid of mean Trump tweets, so they’re altering the way visitors to the National Archives will see US history.

The U.S. has the largest immigration incarceration system in the world. @splcenter & @Am4ImmJustice interviewed people detained in four South #Florida facilities and learned immigrant detention is just #PrisonByAnyOtherName.

Read our report: bit.ly/2Pgmsod
@Am4ImmJustice We examined #Krome Service Processing Center, #Broward Transitional Center, #GladesCounty Detention Center and #MonroeCounty Detention Center, touring the prisons, poring over public records and interviewing detained immigrants. #PrisonByAnyOtherName
Our investigation revealed lacking medical and mental health care, discrimination against people with disabilities and the unnecessary use of #solitaryconfinement as a form a punishment. #PrisonByAnyOtherName

🧵1.1 THREAD—Why Did Jeffrey Epstein Get Such a Lenient Sentence?

*⃣ Part 1—Who is Jeffrey Epstein?
This thread comes after reading over 300 newspaper & magazine articles, law journals, court documents, more than 20 books, several films, videos & docs over the last several mos.
1.2 In light of Jeffrey Epstein's arrest on July 6, 2019 and denial of bail this week, this question becomes even more crucial. Why would federal prosecutors agree to protect Jeffrey Epstein with an unprecedented non-prosecution agreement?
1.3 Labor Secretary Alex Acosta, the man in charge of Epstein's "sweetheart deal" resigned last week.

Why? Over the "furor" of him making this plea deal with Epstein, supposedly.

I'm glad to see #Florida Governor @RonDeSantisFL taking action to combat the state's toxic algae issues. I've worked on this for almost a year, so I'll post some thoughts related below of things that need to happen, imo.
tampabay.com/florida-politi…
1. Despite being a climate change denier on the campaign trail, DeSantis MUST acknowledge climate change and the role it plays in this algae disaster. He says he's hiring scientists, and unless they're corporate hacks, this is what they're going to tell him.
2. While a lot of Florida's problems are "internal", an EPA with no teeth isn't helping. DeSantis needs to encourage Trump to "reset" the EPA back to 2016! EPA has a water monitoring role AND Florida's largest pollutor (Mosaic) needs to be closely monitored at the fed level.

SCANDAL #6
Just weeks after Rick Scott became Governor, he followed through on a campaign promise to sell the state-owned planes used for past governors, cabinet members and other senior state officials.

tampabay.com/news/politics/…
Private plane! Rick Scott is rich! No problem. This plan was supposed to save money for the state of #Florida.
⚡️Scott also imposed a new code of ethics: he barred his office employees and agency heads from traveling in private airplanes without prior approval from Scott or his chief of staff. This new code was designed to stop rich lobbyists from courting state officials.

Continuing my thread from yesterday...
SCANDAL #4
When Rick Scott became Governor in January of 2010, he began a campaign to privatize 30 South Florida prisons and hired Edwin Buss as the Secretary of the Florida Department of Corrections.
“It was one of the most aggressive private prison expansions in the history of the United states, maybe the most aggressive,” Edwin Buss said. While governor, Rick Scott has been through 5 Secretaries of the Florida Department of Corrections (FDOC).
Rick Scott also wanted to privatize the health care services of inmates. He hired Elizabeth Gondles to oversee it, but she had to resign over a conflict of interest: her husband was married to the head of the only organization that accredits prison medical services in the nation.

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
