1)CA prisons are overcrowded. The SCOTUS ruled that is unconstitutional bc it constitutes cruel & unusual punishment so CA along w other states releases prisoners early. If they deported the 20-40% of prisoners who are here illegally prisons wouldn't be overcrowded.
2)Private prisons are expensive. WJC was all for them. In fact there are shareholders (friends of his) & their prospectus promised 96% occupancy.

3)One of the biggest shareholders in private prisons is Thurgood Marshall jr, the son of the late African American Supreme Court Justice who fought for civil rights. Isn't it ironic?

4)Private prisons don't save taxpayers money. They make money for shareholders who have a vested interest in keeping them full. It doesn't help overcrowding when so many politicians are crooks & take up cells.

There's much more to this. Schumer lobbied to win a $2.5 bil
Amtrak/Alstom deal. He lobbied WHILE the DoJ was investigating Alstom for int'l bribery. They were fined $774 mil then Schumer inked their deal! They're French co that works in Russia.
Schumer's $2.5 bil deal w Alstom.
Alstom works in Russia
Fined $774 mil by DoJ.
Worked at Skolkovo Russia
azcentral.com/story/news/loc…
Alstom fined $772 mil by DoJ BUT Schumer used his power to seal the $2.5 bil deal w them for Amtrak deal in NY!
Why would the feds, Amtrak or the state of NY sign a deal w a corrupt co unless kickbacks were involved?

Let me tell you a little about people around Cuomo. Follow along for the whole story. Lets start with his aides. Being an aides to a Dem politician must increase one's life ins. "Random street violence"
nydailynews.com/new-york/brook…
Cuomo's aides...sounds more like the mafia. Some havs been w Cuomo for yrs. Now charges of bribery, extortion etc. Think Sopranos/Godfather- mafia dons, lieutenants, enforcers. NY has billions $ in state & fed'l contracts.
mobile.nytimes.com/2016/09/23/nyr…
This is a big story I've been researching. When ALL of a politicians top aides are investigated, charged &/or jailed shouldn't LEO's be thinking...maybe Cuomo's involved? His fam is a dynasty. His bro Chris covers for him at CNN & he gets donors for HRC.

Deep State-They all belong to the same boards & orgs. Look for powerful people from the past who operate under the radar. Start w former cabinet members & WH ppl both Dem & Rep. 2 sides of the same coin & they work together. I'll show you how former SoS act as one. Still meet.
Kissinger is his own chapter. Zbigniew Brzezinski is the dad of Mika (Morning Joe). Zbig was Madeleine Albrights mentor. Albrights dad Josef Korbel was Condi's mentor. Condi met w Rothschilds. Albright mentored Susan Rice.
James Baker & Schultz work together now on climate change
With the guy in this link funded by Rockefeller. George Schultz works w Soros. Together they mentored Kamala Harris. Albright, Soros & Rothschild in a $350 African investment together. Colin Powell was at Bohemian Grove w Kissinger & ?

I kid. BWI is fine, but also I haven't been in the domestic terminals in a second
BWI is actually far better than DCA, which is by every measure the worst of the DC-area airports

It's likely that #45 names his nomination to replace Kennedy on the SCOTUS tomorrow. Amongst the Democratic leadership & grassroots activists there is agonizing about what is to be done: put up a fight and recognize @SenateDems have no direct means to stop it OR > 1/ #SCOTUS
…fight tooth & nail to postpone until after the election by dragging enough GOP votes to block this. I want to be clear: I believe this appointment is a pivotal one in US and World history, so I come down squarely on the side of fighting it. 2/ #SCOTUS
Before I explain, let me acknowledge & give respect to some excellent arguments put forward to fight a good fight but acknowledge the inevitable, ... /3 #SCOTUS

#SCOTUS ruled 5-4 to uphold the #TravelBan.

Many use “threat of terrorism” as justification.

But let’s look at the numbers. /thread
Countries that are affected by the #TravelBan:
- Syria
- Libya
- Iran
- Yemen
- Somalia

With enhanced restrictions on:
- North Korea
- Venezuela
[disclaimer: I have conflicting sources saying if Venezuela was still included or not. This bad has been redone so many times, Venezuela may or may not be included]

#SCOTUS ruled in favor of the baker in the Colorado same sex wedding cake case today. I'm leaving the legal analysis to the experts, but it is worth noting a few things. <Short thread> #Coloradobaker #ReligiousFreedom 1/4
goo.gl/EfXUpS
Per the article above, this is not a wide ranging ruling on #ReligiousLiberty, although it's still not good news for #LGBT rights, and many people will probably *perceive* it as a wide-ranging decision. 2/4
There are details to consider to this ruling that are still coming to light. 3/4

If you've never attended a naturalization ceremony before, you should. Some thoughts on my experience in Dayton yesterday. THREAD:
A month ago I received an invitation to speak at a naturalization ceremony in Dayton, Ohio (and I’m so grateful my teaching schedule would permit it).
It was one of the most moving, humbling, and profoundly American experiences I’ve had in my nearly four decades as a U.S. Citizen myself.
