SCOOP: Trump administration finalizing opioid plan that includes death penalty for drug dealers. politico.com/story/2018/03/…
Long-developing plan includes numerous policies that White House says will collectively ↓ opioid prescriptions by one-third. politico.com/story/2018/03/…
White House shelved plans to announce proposal at summit two weeks ago — but that didn’t stop Trump from openly musing about executing drug dealers. politico.com/story/2018/03/…
GOP senators told @adamcancryn they didn’t know if Trump’s comments about executing drug dealers were serious.

(They were.)

Response from @SenMarkey.
We found at least one fan of Trump’s death penalty-for-drug dealers idea: @RepChrisCollins, who says he’s “all in.” politico.com/story/2018/03/…
The White House, which didn’t respond to POLITICO’s questions and later told CBS News “we don't comment on alleged drafts of leaked documents,” was confirming our story tonight to multiple outlets.

In recent days, HHS has been boosting transparency and cheerleading for ACA enrollment — trying to leave a good impression before Dems launch investigations in January.
One reason why HHS is doing clean-up work: Because there are internal paper trails, like the emails @CitizenCohn @JeffYoung obtained, that will build case Trump administration undermined the ACA and more.

An example of shifting message

- How @SeemaCMS tweeted about the ACA on day 1 of ACA sign-ups (five days before the election)

vs.

- How she tweeted about the ACA yesterday

Professor comes forward as Kavanaugh accuser. apple.news/AMZfZ9-7hShm_w… Says she told a therapist, her husband about the accusation back in 2012.
Professor teaches in Palo Alto, which explains why Rep. Anna Eshoo (her local congresswoman) was involved in letter that found its way to Sen. Dianne Feinstein.
Reproductive rights groups — already worried about Kavanaugh’s potential rulings on abortion access — have seized on sexual assault allegation. Here’s @NIRHAction from Friday.

#Trump-mais il n'est pas le seul (cf. ci-dessous)- démontre aujourd'hui qu'il n'a rien compris au #MeToo, et à ses revendications. Bien sûr, #Kavanaugh est présumé innocent de l'accusation mais le président en fait 1 victime, tout en taisant la parole de l'agressée. Frappant. RT+
#LastRT Et quand l'ex-président #Bush, pourtant retiré de la vie publique et très discret, ne sort de son silence que pour défendre #Kavanaugh par principe AVANT MÊME que la victime ait pu s'exprimer, là aussi rien ne change. politico.com/story/2018/09/…
#LastRT Encore 1 fois, #Kavanaugh est présumé innocent, il n'y a aucune preuve apportée pour l'instant contre lui. Et l'accusatrice n'a pas encore confirmé qu'elle témoignerait au Sénat. Mais comment s'en étonner si sa parole est tant minorée par avance? politico.com/story/2018/09/…

(1) Normalement, je ne tweete que sur le #climat et ses ramifications. Mais là, l'occasion était trop belle avec la saga #Trump relatée pour vous, chers français et lecteurs de ce pauvre @Le_Figaro par l'impayable @geliefig. lefigaro.fr/international/…
@Le_Figaro @geliefig (2) Comme la presse libérale américaine, la presse européenne et française est atteinte par le désormais célèbre "Trump Derangement Syndrome", et cela remonte même avant son élection.
@Le_Figaro @geliefig (3) Il faut dire que les prédictions de la presse libérale et les MSM (main Stream Media) quant à l'issue d'élection américaine se sont révélées bien comiques.

Know who else defied a House-issued subpoena? Steve Bannon: politico.com/story/2018/01/…
In fact, it was the White House that ordered him to defy it...
A White House official, at the time, said the bipartisan subpoena was a “grandstanding move.”

1. Once you see the strings on the marionettes you can never watch the pantomime the same way you did before you noticed them.
2. DATELINE - May 2011 – President Obama travels to the Rio Grande sector of the border to push for his immigration platform (ie. Amnesty). He proclaims the border is safe and secure and famously attacks his opposition for wanting an “alligator moat”.
3. November 2012 – Election year campaign(s). Using wedge issues like “War on Women”, and “Immigration / Amnesty”, candidate Obama promises to push congress for “amnesty”, under the guise of “Comprehensive Immigration Reform”, if elected.

President Obama wins reelection.

National politics correspondent for Newsweek, Nina Burleigh, with a fun find on a TV above the bar at the Trump Hotel DC bit.ly/2E37QRR
Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
