EXCLUSIVE: Over the past 18 months, the Trump White House and its allies have assembled detailed lists of disloyal government officials to oust — and trusted pro-Trump people to replace them. axios.com/trump-memos-de…
Since Trump's Senate acquittal, aides say the president has crossed a psychological line regarding what he calls the "Deep State."

He feels his government — from Justice to State to Defense to Homeland Security — is filled with "snakes." axios.com/trump-memos-de…
Among the potential hires offered in memos from right-wing group Groundswell:

• Sheriff David Clarke for a Homeland Security role.
• Fox regular Dan Bongino for a Homeland or counterterrorism role.
• Federalist contributor Ben Weingarten for the NSC. axios.com/trump-memos-de…

BREAKING: Federal judge rules that former WH counsel Don McGahn must comply with House impeachment subpoena axios.com/don-mcgahn-hou…
House Democrats hope that John Bolton will use the ruling to justify cooperating with the inquiry.
Judge Jackson: "[I]f a duly authorized committee of Congress issues a valid legislative subpoena to a current or former senior-level presidential aide, the law requires the aide to appear as directed, and assert executive privilege as appropriate."

On New Year's Eve 1999, a political newcomer and former KGB operative named Vladimir Putin suddenly assumed the Russian presidency.

Part 1 of our "20 Years of Putin" special report focuses on his rise, early years and escalating antagonism with the West.
axios.com/vladimir-putin…
A "talented recruiter" rises: There aren’t many who could've stood between Putin and the presidency two decades ago. Mikhail Khodorkovsky was one.

"He’s able to be in your eyes what you want him to be...I wasn’t the only person who was deceived by him.”
axios.com/vladimir-putin…
Putin worked his way from the FSB, the successor of the KGB, to prime minister to president.

"My strongest memory was that he made no memory ... He made virtually no impression back then.” — Michael @McFaul, who crossed paths with Putin in the 1990s.

holy crap, this story: Over the past 18 months, the Trump WH and its allies have assembled detailed “hit lists” of disloyal government officials to oust — and loyal pro-Trump people to replace them — per more than a dozen sources familiar w/ the effort.
axios.com/trump-memos-de…
“A well-connected network of conservative activists with close ties to Trump and top admin officials is quietly helping develop these ‘Never Trump’/pro-Trump lists...”

**Members of this network include Ginni Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas**
(!!) Trump withdrew Jessie Liu’s nomination for a top Treasury Dept position b/c of things she did as a US Attorney, including:
-not prosecuting Trump’s perceived political enemies
-not prosecuting Kavanaugh’s accusers
-signing onto Flynn’s sentencing memo

District Council elections will take place on Sunday, November 24 in 452 constituencies across #HongKong. Polling stations open from 7:30am to 10:30pm.

Read HKFP’s election interview series: hongkongfp.com/2019/11/09/hon…

File photo: GovHK.
Candidates embarked on last-minute campaigning on Saturday, after many suspended campaigns to focus on helping university students in the past week.

The pro-Beijing camp holds three-quarters of the seats, and has a majority in all 18 councils.

Photo: Stand News screenshot.
The turnout of the 2015 District Council election was 47 percent of registered voters. This figure - though far lower than the 58.3 percent turnout for the following year's LegCo election - already represents a significant increase on 2011's turnout.

As @RitaKonaev notes, "Mattis had no problem disagreeing w/Obama about transgender people in the military or women in combat but won’t criticize Trump for asking foreign powers for dirt about political opponents.

This isn’t about him being above politics. This is his politics."
Excellent point here, and makes you wonder why Mattis' deference to the commander-in-chief is selectively applied in this manner 🤔
7 freshman House Ds, all with natsec experience: "If true, we believe these actions represent an impeachable offense ...

We call on our colleagues in Congress to consider the use of all congressional authorities available, including inherent contempt."

#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?
