NEW: Experts on authoritarianism worry that 2020 could be our last free election: "Republicans have shown no interest in sharing power or having a multi-party democracy, they've shown no interest in the rule of law."

"We're so far beyond democratic practice when people are talking about purely partisan judges, and when the Justice Department is being run by the President of the United States, we're talking about a monarchy or something like it."

"They're all complicit and they have to work to make sure the system doesn't fall down because they all see that they're going to be punished if he gets out of office...they [@GOP] don't have any interest in multi-party democracy anymore."

@GOP @ruthbenghiat "The United States looks to be moving in the direction of Hungary or Poland, with the justice system starting to become a tool under the power of the executive branch that is being used for partisan ends." --@jasonintrator

Am I the only one who thinks it's weird that @realDonaldTrump always claps for himself?
@realDonaldTrump .@realDonaldTrump says the "witch hunt" started "from the day I came down the elevator."

It was an escalator. Does he not remember the word?
@realDonaldTrump .@realDonaldTrump says he might not be there right now had he not fired @Comey. He's admitting to obstruction of justice right there.

White House Counsel Pat Cipollone is opening his defense of @realDonaldTrump with a blatant lie about "burden sharing."

Cipollone repeats Trump's false claim from 7/25 call that Germany, France, etc do not contribute to Ukraine defense. US contributed $204.4m, GER $189m
Cipollone's second whopper: Trump has a strong record on confronting Russia.
Don't just take my word for it when I say Pat Cipollone is lying. See for yourself.

Oh my god. The White House is trying to hold a background briefing call on impeachment, and the conference call operator seems to have no idea where any of the speakers are.
This isn't the first time this White House has had trouble with conference calls. In May 2017, a call featuring @MickMulvaneyOMB turned into a complete shitshow.

And just over a year ago, another White House background call on Iran devolved into chaos when staffers couldn't figure out the mute function yet again.

There is a saying in Bengali which means the house owner starts taking precautions once the robbery is over. For last three weeks @RahulGandhi became a poster boy of #Pakistan by his immature acts on #Kashmir issue. The realization now dawns that he must change track. 1/n
It is not known what prompted #RahulGandhi 2 try visiting #Kashmir last week, knowing fully well that the #Modi government got moral/legal sanction from the Supreme Court 2 take all preventive measures 2 stop blood spill and, that Gandhi would be returned like other leaders. 2/n
One may see the shadow of #Wayanad in #RahulGandhi's desperation but, to me his acts only helped the politically irrelevant #Left to stay in news. Left has a history of opposing Congress in States while joining hands hands in d Centre. #Congress's gains were short term. 3/n

All the times the govt's own EU referendum pamphlet, delivered to every house, said that voting Leave meant "less access", "losing full access" & "uncertainty and risk" about the Single Market. But a majority voted Leave anyway.
#democracy @LeaveMnsLeave @DeborahMeaden
Here's the Remain campaign's widely distributed 'Europe & You' leaflet, stating that our votes "will decide your family's future" & "at risk" was being "free to trade with all EU countries with no barriers". A majority voted Leave anyway.
#democracy @Change_Britain @DeborahMeaden
Here's Will Straw, director of the Remain campaign, highlighting that Leave campaigners had "conceded" that outside the EU the UK would lose access to the Single Market. "We must be absolutely clear about what this means", he said. A majority voted Leave anyway
