Trump's tweetstorm started with the 5 am hour of Fox & Friends First.

Left, F&FF, 5:52 am
Right, Trump, 6:45 am
The end of Judge Nap's comment was, "was it for political purposes to get data to the West Wing to get to Hillary or to keep the campaign safe from the Russians."

Now on to Fox & Friends.

Right, Trump, 7:12 am
Lahren was on Fox & Friends this morning criticizing the new Democratic anti-corruption message -- and discussing how someone threw a drink at her while she was having brunch with her parents.

The Clapper tweet appears to be out of order (and of course that quote is fake, no one acting in good faith is describing what happened as the FBI "SPYING" on the Trump campaign).

Left, Fox & Friends, 6:06 am
Right, Trump, 7:33 am
Incidentally, Fox & Friends is apparently trying to set a record for most uses of the word "spy" in a single broadcast.

When everyone is on board with the White House talking points.
Presidential adviser and Fox host Sean Hannity: "This is a national emergency, it's time to build the wall."
Presidential adviser and Fox host Lou Dobbs: "This president is leading the nation on a national emergency that only he can solve and has the political will. The American people, all they need is a strong leader. He's it."

1. Trump’s Fox cabinet returned from vacation yesterday and urged him to “stay strong” on the shutdown. mm4a.org/4Qt
2. For the first 10 days, Trump had to watch the B-team cover his shutdown. But now Hannity, Dobbs, and company are back, and they are continuing to egg him on.
3. Trump's Fox cabinet has been a problem for a while. But we are now moving toward a dynamic where they possess real veto power over government actions.

Alright. Time to identify all of the Trump-Fox livetweets that I missed while I was off for the holidays.
I've nailed down around 20 Trump tweets that appear to respond to Fox programming. There are certainly more, but there are a few factors making it more complicated -- lots of tweets about the wall and Syria and the economy that could be, but are not definitively, live-tweets.
I'll start with 12/21.

Left, Fox & Friends, 7:06 am

Doocy: Will McConnell use the nuclear option to get the wall?
Earhartdt: "So far the president has not tweeted about that."

Right, Trump, 8:02 am

La porte-parole de #Trump, #Sanders, montre ici, à son corps défendant face à Chris Wallace, pourquoi tant d'acteurs politiques ou sociaux veulent museler les journalistes. Ceux-ci rapportent des faits contrariant leurs récits idéologiques qu'ils entendent muer en réalité. RT+1
2) Car s'il faut trouver 1 sens au compte Twitter de #Trump, instrument d'abord de conquête puis d'exercice du pouvoir, ce n'est pas- seulement- en déversoir instinctif de haine contre la #presse et les médias indépendants mais comme leur possible substitut à terme.
3) #Trump a toujours été d'abord 1 fabricant et marchand de récits, centrés sur sa personne, dans les affaires puis en politique. Ses récits mirifiques sont marqués par l'exagération, l'invention pour vendre et seule 1 presse indépendante a pu rendre Trump "comptable" des faits

1/ I'm stunned, but not surprised by AT&T's decision to extended their #Friends licensing deal with Netflix through 2019. A perfect example of, despite saying they were committed to winning in SVOD, Big Media wants to have their cake, eat it to - and then hope they get a 3rd cake
2/ #Friends is one of Netflix's most valuable titles. It's one of the most celebrated sitcoms, one of Netflix's most popular series, and has a whopping 236 episodes of tonnage - and a fervent fanbase
3/ AT&T could (and should) have simply moved #Friends to HBO, their leading SVOD asset. Imagine the impact on customer acquisition - all of a sudden the press coverage inundates all Friends fans to get HBO, if they haven't already!

UCC had opportunity to comment on the #Data.Protection & Privacy Bill. The enactment of this law is long overdue. A comprehensive law on the collection & processing personal information gives effect to the right to Privacy envisaged under Article 27(2) of the Constitution
UCC welcome the protections offered by the Bill in terms of export of data, breach notification requirements, data subjects access rights, automated decision making, compensation and the right to be forgotten and provision for financial and penal sanctions for breach of the law.
Distinction between Data collectors & data controllers.
The Bill should however clarify & distinguish Data Collectors, from Data Processors & Data Controllers. Clause 2 is inconsistent with international good practice which provides for two broad categories of Data Controllers

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

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

1/ Right, I thought I'd have a go at a #tweetstorm. The thread covers my PhD research @Swinburne & @ICRAR into how #galaxies evolve. If you’re into space and/or interested in what astronomers do, read on. If not, well you never know what you'll like so take a peek anyway...
2/ BACKGROUND: One of the great discoveries of the twentieth century was that our Milky Way is just one of billions of galaxies, each one different from the last.
3/ Despite this diversity, galaxies in the local Universe mostly fall into one of two categories; either they contain large amounts of gas which fuels ongoing star formation, or else their gas has been exhausted and star formation has ceased.
