Guess who's appearing at the @GOPconvention in support of Trump? Yep, the St Louis couple who brandished weapons at #BlackLivesMatter protesters.
Just a reminder that this lovely couple has been charged with a felony. That seems to be a consistent criterion for receiving a @GOPconvention invitation. washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/07…
Apparently the Covington kid is going to be there too.

Holy crap. Three years ago Kushner's stake in Cadre was worth $5 million. He just sold it for $25-50 million after it benefitted from Opportunity Zone tax breaks that Kushner pushed for. syracuse.com/us-news/2020/0…
A short thread on Kushner's sale of Cadre:
"In selling his stake, Mr. Kushner also took advantage of a special federal program that would allow him to defer paying income taxes on any gain on his investment in Cadre, which he helped found in 2014." nytimes.com/2020/03/05/us/…
"But Mr. Kushner’s investment in Cadre has repeatedly drawn questions. He initially failed to list it in a financial disclosure report he filed with the federal government after being named as a White House official."

Yesterday, Trump pardoned Edward Gallagher over Pentagon objections:
- He shot a girl in a flower-print hijab who was walking with other girls.
- Stabbed a wounded teen to death as he was being treated by medics.
- Shot an unarmed man in a white robe.
nytimes.com/2019/04/23/us/…
Gallagher "routinely parked an armored truck on a Tigris River bridge and emptied the truck’s heavy machine gun into neighborhoods on the other side with no discernible targets."
And Gallagher was just one of three Trump pardoned.
One murdered two civilians.
Another killed an unarmed Afghan.
And Gallagher who had been demoted.

DNI Dan Coats was abruptly fired three days after the Zelensky call.
Why? The WH knew the Zelensky call immediately raised red flags among intelligence professionals.

This is just going to keep getting worse for Trump folks.
theguardian.com/us-news/2019/s…
Trump tried to replace Coats with a Republican congressman, John Ratcliffe, who had minimal national security credentials but had been a fierce defender of the president in Congress.
Trump fired Coats by tweet on July 28th. The Zelensky call was July 25th. And Trump refused to promote his highly-respected deputy Sue Gordon -- pushing an unqualified Congressional supporter instead.
