Very Good point.

PS #ChiefJusticeRoberts is gaslighting when he says the Supreme Court is impartial. There is a reason Merrick Garland was not given a hearing.

I am suspicious of anyone who is dishonest.

Roberts clearly wants a quiet kind of control. Never Forget. Media and pundits called Justice Kennedy a 'moderate'.

He gave us #CitizensUnited. fivethirtyeight.com/features/justi…

I know this is not news, but jeez hearing it directly from #DavidHolmes at the #ImpeachmentInquiry is just something else....

#Sondland to #Trump: "you can tell the #Kardashians you tried"

Which way will Gordon #Sondland go:

Jail or
Not Jail?

We are all noticing women are doing a lot of the heavy lifting on protecting the Constitution right?

Power over principle is more of a male trait for many reasons including:

#MalePrivilege #MaleSupremacy #MaleEntitlement #OldBoysClub #MaleFragility Women are all over this standing up against tyranny & abuse of power. #YuliaTymoshenko former Prime Minister of #Ukraine who supports EU integration, strongly opposes membership of Russia-led Eurasian Customs Union.

@tribelaw It's not a conspiracy "theory" when it's an actual conspiracy in plain sight. This is NO coincidence. It's just that media and far too many others normalized the Religious Right's agenda. It's not just the Evangelicals who do not believe in separation of church and state: @tribelaw Too few mentions of the Federalist society even mention the very obvious religious agenda. thedailybeast.com/the-secrets-of…

Trump did not agree to answer questions because he almost certainly would have perjured yourself. #Mueller found Trump's written responses to his questions inadequate. /1 #ReadTheReport #MuellerReport Vol. 2, Page 149 nytimes.com/interactive/20… … … Trump did NOT cooperate in answering important questions regarding Trump Tower Moscow.

@mattyglesias Also: we need to understand the ideological roots of the frightening science denialism of this administration.

@Mimirocah1 My theory is it is Rebekah #Mercer. The 'senior official' is reportedly #Bannon. #Mercer brought Bannon into the Trump campaign/admin. Her #CambridgeAnalytica also reached out to #Wikileaks. She is at the center of all this, and if she does not get caught our problems continue: @Mimirocah1 Note: #Bannon was bankrolled by the #Mercers. He ran #Breitbart for them/sat on CA board. #Mercer also brought #Kellyanne into the campaign. #Bolton was her 1st choice for secretary of state. #Mercers supported Cruz, then switched horses. Trump: just their useful fool.

@JenniferJJacobs Disingenuous. Mueller's mandate was very broad. In Rosenstein's own words: @JenniferJJacobs In Comey's words: "ANY links" so eg #TrumpTowerMoscow or any other business dealings Trump may have had/been pursuing. And in Rosenstein's words (above), "ANY matters that arose...from the investigation". BROAD mandate. #Rosenstein & #Barr are trying to box this up way too neatly

I realized late last night that a dominant narrative we are hearing about the #MuellerInvestigation from media is flat-out wrong. #Mueller did NOT have a very narrow mandate. His mandate was extremely broad. Let's look at it piece by piece. /1 @BarbMcQuade's excellent article in @thedailybeast made it clear that we are so deeply mired in 'analysis' (& spin) that the obvious easily evades us. If the President cannot be indicted then what was the PURPOSE of the #MuellerInvestigation? /2 thedailybeast.com/barr-sounds-mo…

@ccuspis @ECMcLaughlin sigh yes...i've been trying to raise awareness for a while now. The Religious Right has taken over the GOP. If we are honest about our history, Christian Supremacy and White Supremacy are very closely intertwined. When you use religion to justify Supremacy it becomes a habit: @ccuspis @ECMcLaughlin religion is a powerful political tool, it has been wielded in our politics for a good long time before Trump came along. Trump just brought the Christian R and the Alt/Openly Racist White together openly AGAIN. It's not new:

Dearest every single person following me,
I know I can sound like a broken record. I just feel the urgency/importance of exposing the threats I see clearly due to my experiences as a WOC raised in a country where racial/religious tensions were fanned to support a kleptocracy: ...oh and one of my parents has narcissistic personality disorder. So I get that too. For all of these reasons I have been clanging alarm bells since the primaries. Initially I'd hoped to alert media to some of these issues. I've come to the sad realization that our media is too:
