NEW to @NBCNews: Gabby Giffords backs Biden ahead of Arizona primary

nbcnews.com/politics/meet-… via @NBCNews
The former AZ lawmaker is a high-profile figure and a leading voice on gun control.

“Biden is the choice for a true gun safety president,” Giffords said in a statement to NBC.

(Giffords could undergird Biden’s momentum coming off his strong showings in Tuesday's primaries)
Peter Ambler, exec dir of the Giffords PAC said Biden is the candidate most likely to prioritize new gun laws.

Biden has made addressing gun violence “an important part of his campaign” and has a long record, including backing the 1994 assault weapons ban, said Ambler.

A few points:

(THREAD)
1.Sanders released a recent list of ways to fund his programs
2. It includes raising taxes to ab 50% marginal rate on middle class, in addition to all wealth, corporate, inequality taxes (adding it up)
3. Even AFTER this, there's a $20 trillion shortfall.
4. Choices: Issue more debt than totaling our entire history or massive tax increases
5. What's it mean for middle class? Ex: a family earning $80K would pay 60% marginal rate.
6. Lower premiums, savings for companies would all = big savings for the m.c., Sanders camp says.
7. He is right single payer is more efficient, savings from cutting out sig admin costs etc. and U.S. spending way more on health care than other nations.
8. BUT the countries he cites as a model have big VAT (sales taxes) & much higher income tax rates.

Here’s Denmark:

Gonna do a #Bernie2020 #thread, but I want to preface this by shooting down the "Not a Real Democrat" argument - the Democratic and Republican parties are hemorrhaging supporters like crazy right now, the only "real" anythings right now support the status quo that got us here.
But, this trend isn't recent, let's zoom out… Wow, look at that giant drop in "Real Democrats" after Carter, when the New Deal Democrats had been soundly defeated, first by the DNC itself at the 1968 national convention - then the '72 rule changes - and Carter's poor performance
What happened in '68? Why, the DNC decided that it knew better than 80% of Democratic voters and the delegates chose Humphrey - and the Anti-War protestors didn't like the pro-War candidate that they wouldn't vote for, and The Establishment didn't like that, man

Passion, drama but little suspense as Democrats rest impeachment case
Most of the 100 senators, who sit as judge and jury in the trial, have already tipped their hand as to how they will vote
After nearly 24 hours, divided across three long days, the prosecution rested their case in the impeachment trial of Donald Trump. There was passion, drama and even a display of “histrionics”, but little suspense.
Mitch McConnell, the Senate majority leader, had revealed the ending weeks ago. Aquittal was inevitable.

The measure of success for the seven impeachment managers appointed by Nancy Pelosi to prosecute the House’s case against the president was therefore not

[#Thread - Rant about British Politics and Disinformation] 1/ We are reaching an extremely alarming stage of the normalization of deliberate disinformation. In recent days we have seen Tories intentionally mis-edit @Keir_Starmer 's interview, create a false fact-checking account
@Keir_Starmer 2/ & create a fake labour manifesto website with the url labourmanifesto.co.uk . As a consequence, they have been condemned by Twitter, and even @piersmorgan - which really shows how low they have sunk. (That's not a dig at Piers Morgan, simply a reflection he's called it out)
@Keir_Starmer @piersmorgan 3/ I say normalization because Tory politicians, including Johnson himself, owes his 'success' to disinformation. Remember the lie on the bus, #Brexit? In the recent #bbcqt the first question of Johnson literally was about his lack of trustworthiness. Of course Johnson laughed

#Thread: Inspired by the CBP Facebook revelations, I decided to take a look at the OUN-B affiliated U.S. Organization for Defense of Four Freedoms of Ukraine (ODFFU) Facebook group, which includes 610 people. In no particular order, here are some profiles that stuck out to me:
Dmytro Zhmailo, spokesman/executive director of Free People, member of Youth Nationalist Congress (MNK), and senior staff for Ukrainian MP Oleh Medunytsia, who himself chaired MNK 2002-2006. Among others, Zhmailo is FB friends with CUN leader S.Bratsiun.
Pavlo Podobied, head of the Ukrainian Institute of National Remembrance's Department for the Preservation of Places of Memory, according to Newsweek, has "accused Jews of being the main perpetrators of Soviet crimes against Ukrainians in the 1920s and 1930s." (1/2)

#THREAD | I'll be tracking pro-govt deaths again for the #Idlib #Hama operation. Some notes:
- ALL deaths come from pro-govt sources
- Exact places of deaths are only partially accurate
- Numbers KIA should be viewed as approximations
- If I post anything wrong please correct me
#Idlib_Dawn operation began May 6 targeting #Qalaat_alMudiq axis on #Hama

At least 10 loyalist KIA including 1 on Jub Ahmar (#Latakia/#Hama border)

HOWEVER May 6 was also 'martyrs day' so Facebook was flooded w/ old martyr posts making collecting accurate data very difficult.
7 of these deaths were #Tiger_Forces w/ 6 from #Taha_Regiment's Maskana Group and Omar Naqr Group (pic)

Jub Ahmar death was from #4th_Division, although I was told there were many other deaths here not reported on loyalist social media.
