Trump says he'd take 'take a look' at changing entitlements such as Medicare

@USATODAY Estimated $2 trillion cost of Bush and Trump-era tax cuts (for the top 1%) through 2025 is same amount House GOP recently proposed cutting from Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and Obamacare.

(not enacted, just a budget proposal.)

Sanders' opposition to the Iraq War was more complicated than he presents

Few points (THREAD)

1. When Sanders says he read same intel & reached different conclusions about Iraq, that's not exactly right. He certainly VOTED differently but

nbcnews.com/politics/2020-… via @nbcnews
@NBCNews he didn’t question the intel about WMD until mid-2003. Sanders actually reached the same conclusions as many Dems: that the threat wasn’t imminent and the U.S. should work through the UN.

2. Sanders also voted for an “alternative” leaving door open to war if the UN didn’t act.
@NBCNews Some of the most ardent anti-war advocates opposed this amendment.

3. Rep. Barbara Lee was one: Some members “wanted it both ways. We had enough information to know there were no weapons there,” she told NBC, referring in general to Dems at the time.

👉Barr/Trump “going easy” on biggest sanctions evasion scheme in modern history involving …. IRAN.

THREAD
1. Trump has pushed DOJ to ease pressure on Reza Zarrab, the Turkish-Iranian gold trader at the center of the Halkbank scheme.

2. Erdogan runs Halkbank and Zarrab testified Erdogan had personally approved the bank’s participation in the scheme.
3. Trump "wants to be helpful within the limits of his power" in the "case involving the Turkish bank," according to a transcript of a call Lindsey Graham had w a Russian prankster impersonating Turkey's minister of defense in August.

Trump announces he has canceled a secret meeting at Camp David with Taliban leaders set for Sunday – three days before the 18th anniversary of September 11 –after a car bombing in Kabul nytimes.com/2019/09/07/us/…
Thread from a pre-eminent expert on Afghanistan & former senior advisor to the State Department's special representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan. (h/t @metaquest)
.@BRRubin nailed it.

"At Camp David, separate meetings with each side would then lead to a grand announcement by Trump.

The Taliban leaders, however, compared the proposal to the Americans’ tricking them into political suicide."

Terrible news for Little @marcorubio @AmbJohnBolton & Guadio’s gang, but great news for the people of Caracas:

The city’s free Metro system is coming back on line as Venezuela recovers from its curiously timed electricity outages.

#Trump is going to speak in the Rose Garden any minute now. Is he going to lie a bunch about reopening the government? Is he just going to yell "no collusion! witch hunt!" over and over again? Both? Stay tuned!
Oh hell, #Trump is going to take questions too. This is going to be a sh*tshow.
#Trump is running about a half hour late. I wonder if he's spent this whole time on the phone with Ann Coulter, begging for permission to cave?

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

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
