Latest break by @NatashaBertrand: "If Corsi had cooperated," Honig explained, "it would've been Mueller announcing Corsi's cooperation along with the indictment of Stone (and perhaps others). Now, it'll be an indictment of Stone and Corsi (and perhaps others) all together.” https://t.co/4SmjPFNR0p

The pressures on mainstream-media outlets to draw an equivalence between Republican fantasies of voter fraud and Democratic claims of voter suppression are intense. Conservative pundits have argued that Abrams’s refusal to concede undermines democracy as much as the president’s rants about voter fraud. But there is no equivalence: one is an attack on the legitimacy of the democratic process, the other is an attack on efforts to undermine the democratic process.
the president of the united states is about six or seven malfunctioning synapses away from tweeting 'if we come from monkeys how come we still have monkeys'
#MarsLanding begins. Our @NASAInSight lander separated from the cruise stage that protected it on its journey through space. Next, it enters Mars’ atmosphere. Tune in & watch live now: https://t.co/v6T6gy0IaY
I remember years ago having a discussion with my uncle who was/is a big NASA enthusiast. He said can you imagine what goes on behind the scenes when it comes to space exploration and their true missions.

BREAKING: Ben McAdams (D) is the apparent winner in UT-4. Democrat Gain. Incumbent Mia Love (R) has called McAdams to congratulate him. Count is DEMS 234, GOP 201. Democrat +39 seats. DEM: 59,185,373 – 53.1% GOP: 50,380,243 – 45.2% DEMs received 8,805,130 more votes than GOP
Mia Love acted surprised that The Deplorable one treated her like shit. She forgot that she was Black until he showed her exactly what he and other republicans really thought of her. She was okay with everything until she was turned on. No tears for her and no outrage on her behalf. She also read her state wrong, did not realize that many from Utah were disgusted and ready to move on (they also voted to end gerrymandering). She (Tim Scott from SC will be joining her at some future date) will join JC Watts, Condoleeza Rice and other Black folks who fell for the Republican flattery and sold themselves out. They cannot go home again and will be only a footnote in a cautionary tale. We know that many so-called liberals and progressives are only here to use and talk down to Black folks as well, however, they are the lesser of two evils. We do get some forward movement, representation and progress with democrats, but are ever aware that if they could get elected without us, we would be kicked under the bus (they tried this with Hispanics/Latinos but found out that they are anything but monolithic in how they vote and think as they come from many different cultures and often have opposing views). Anyway, I found her comments too convenient and disingenuous. Bye, Felecia, Go crack a history book,
Mia Love is Haitian so I would have hoped that she would have figured out that Trump was racist when he called Haiti a sh*thole country and ended the temporary residence status for thousands of Haitians who came here after the earthquake. Oh well. Perhaps, she’s not that bright.
I’ve been thinking about health care and the role it played in the midterms. So when I was recently in MN, I sat down to talk w/ Andy Slavitt, head of Medicare & Medicaid during the last 2 years of the Obama admin. Thought some of you might be interested: https://t.co/doSMbsFbey
I will always love Al Franken. I truly believe that he was targeted early on last year because he was outspoken about Russia interference in the 2016 election. And I was really saddened that the Democratic women in the Senate jumped on the nasty bandwagon.
#BREAKING: 15 state AGs just filed an amicus brief opposing Pres. Trump’s illegal appointment of Matthew Whitaker as Acting Attorney General of the United States. The rule of law must be protected. https://t.co/o0WLN1gFBUpic.twitter.com/ZeE1rr0MMZ

NEW: Special counsel's office claims Paul Manafort lied to the FBI and to Mueller's office "on a variety of subject matters" after signing a plea deal, in breach of the agreement. Manafort disputes that characterization. More soon. https://t.co/DPTKqdgMdwpic.twitter.com/1qqAOufWF8
2 1/2 years ago I entered my name to be etched onto a chip that would be on the @NASAInSight lander heading to Mars in 2018. It successfully landed today which means a small part of me is currently on another planet. It's nothing short of mind boggling #MarsLanding#NASA@NASAJPLpic.twitter.com/gH8IfJvZ0P
#BREAKING: Special counsel Mueller just released a new court filing saying that Paul Manafort has lied repeatedly to investigators SINCE PLEADING GUILTY, breaking the terms of his plea agreement. Mueller is calling for Manafort to be sentenced immediately.
THREAD: What can we make of today's status report filed by Mueller indicating that Manafort lied to the FBI and to Mueller "on a variety of subject matters?"
After receiving 24k votes and being the #2018EbonyPower100 people’s choice award winner @EBONYMag has told me the Gala is not “open to the public”. Shout out to everyone who voted for me, I was really excited about this, maybe next year I’ll actually make it onto the real list. pic.twitter.com/FLHaCXM7PA
Breaking: Fmr Trump campaign Chmn Paul Manafort lied to the FBI and special counsel’s office “on a variety of subject matters” after pleading guilty, prosecutors say, and they would like him to be sentenced by a judge in DC, according to a new filing tonight.
I have a strong suspicion that Barbara Underwood will go down in history as being CRITICAL in taking down the Trumps.
While Mueller is and will be lionized, let's make sure AG Underwood is remembered too. Her role here is absolutely pivotal in establishing the rule of law.
Paul Manafort appears to be a congenital liar. And can’t even tell the truth to help himself out of prison time. And had the arrogance repeatedly to think he could get away with it — witness tampering too. He’s a pretty rare bird. You can see why Trump was drawn to him. https://t.co/Eabh29HMlv
Manafort is either an incredibly stupid criminal or he's protecting some secret so big that he's willing to spend the rest of his life in jail to keep the world from discovering it. https://t.co/1sCxZxpk9y
New votes tallied just now from Kern County have put Dem. TJ Cox ahead of Rep. David Valadao by 438 votes in CA-21. A win for Cox would give Dems a net gain of 40 seats in the House. https://t.co/8AQbDiC4Gg
These stupid punks and their filthy business dealings.
NEW: Tax return reveals Trump remained Trump Foundation president his whole first year in office. It was funded entirely by his business & a “reimbursement” by his golf club for a 5-yr-old payment under scrutiny by NY AG lawsuit as “improper self-dealing” https://t.co/RuZcVO4sI5pic.twitter.com/EmJyTqDHL2
See, here’s the genius part. In order to decide that Manafort lied, the judge will have to make “findings of fact.” These are binding against anyone who’s in privity with Manafort. As manager of Trump’s campaign, Trump and Manafort are contractually in privity. https://t.co/i5oOAnmkdr
There is no defense. There were alternatives. Convene a team that will help you examine and determine humane alternatives and will not be moved by fear-mongering and bigotry. Tear-gassing will not make America great. @realDonaldTrumphttps://t.co/JU9fHtT0dx
If you wanna know what Manafort might be afraid of (*is* afraid of), read this excellent piece by @woodruffbets. When you do business with one of FBI's most wanted criminals, i.e., Semion Mogilevich, the FBI wants to hear about it. And you should be very afraid to tell them. https://t.co/N2m7H77QNi
It should tell us something about her home country that a mother is willing to travel 2,000 miles with her 4-month old son to come here. How we respond when she arrives tells us something about ours. https://t.co/hrsfjh3drv
Something beautiful happened over the weekend and I’d like to share it. I was having brunch with my future mother-in-law. FMIL- Is that a Josh Malina pin? Me – A what? FMIL- That pin. Is that Josh Malina? Me – No. That’s Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Tertiary scenario: SCO Mueller et al knew Manafort/Trump play. Manafort engaged in witness tampering while on home confinement, he was remanded. SCO purposely fed bad info to Manafort knowing it would go to Trump Trump submits his written answers to SCO = Manafort deal gone🤷🏻♀️ pic.twitter.com/TOBAOP527Z
The biggest news here isn’t that Trump criminally tampered with Manafort as a witness but that Mueller thinks he has ironclad proof of Trump’s collusion with Russia. Checkmate.https://t.co/VUlwpETXmX
What else could Mueller claim he can prove beyond a reasonable doubt Manafort lied about? It HAS to be Trump’s personal involvement in the conspiracy with Russia to help Trump win the presidency! https://t.co/ctY0deuIRt
Tim Scott opposed another Trump nominee earlier this year for racist writings in college. If he opposes Farr this week, GOP wont have the votes. If you live in South Carolinia, please call Sen. Scotthttps://t.co/8RrrTcipjP
I must say she has no fear. And once she went over to the Nancy Pelosi side, I’m likin’ it.
While we’re recommending museums @LindseyGrahamSC, I heard your “joke” about ethnic DNA preferences last month.
Perhaps you would enjoy a visit (or revisit) to the Smithsonian Museum of African-American History and Culture (@NMAAHC). It’s a great educational experience.
Good morning, TOD. Arrived home at 11:30 last night. Spent 3 hours with our dear friends of 51 years. (Wake Forest, NC) The husband is nearing the end. We know we will be going back in the next few weeks. Wonderful and blessed visit with his wife and sons.
My back (sciatica) is screaming this morning. Need to get on ice! Thankful I am sleeping. NO idea how this issue will end. 😦
Hope all of you have a good day. Stay warm! It is COLD here……..and I have to go get some groceries.
Take care of yourself today, TNmtngirl. An emotional trip is hard on our physical bodies. So glad you got to visit your friend and family. Those visit are so important. You will always hold them close.
Now that Manafort has blown it, let's take a look at his plea deal. He pleaded guilty to: 1) conspiracy against the US, conspiracy to commit a) money laundering b) tax fraud, c) violate Foreign Band Account Reports Act; d) violate FARA; and e) lie to US DOJ. https://t.co/0RrA0PClZ7
Turns out I’m not the only one who’s thinking about the different layers a foot. 1) Flynn & Gates terminated their joint defense agreement with Trump 2) Manafort never did 3) @AshaRangappa_ is WAY smarter than I am, so don’t take my word for possible scenarios, listen to her pic.twitter.com/sUX2C9ihdd
This vital opinion piece elegantly makes a point thus far overlooked: Even if Whitaker’s appointment were otherwise legal (it’s not), putting him in charge of the Mueller investigation into Trump wouldn’t be. An Act of Congress forbids it. https://t.co/4dDMxQpmaH via @BostonGlobe
Also, he would like to know what GM did with the tax windfall that trump gave them….it certainly wasn’t anything to do with workers!!
Rep. Tim Ryan on GM closings: "This president did not lift 1 finger. He's got executive time all day, he spends time on Twitter, he does nothing but try to divide the country & start culture wars, & behind the scenes the American worker's getting screwed." https://t.co/AEnNFZCUnTpic.twitter.com/g2gyqRnBAT
America, you get it now? TAX BREAKS FOR THE CORPS AND WEALTHY DO NOT HELP YOU! THEY HURT YOU AND WILL HURT YOUR FAMILY FOR GENERATIONS! QUIT FUCKING THINKING THERE IS TRICKLE DOWN! IT”S CALLED PISS!
GM gained record tax breaks from the @GOP's tax scam—and chose not to invest that money in American workers.
As a result of that corporate greed, thousands of workers will soon be out of a job.
NO, these same fools will vote for the Orange Turd when he lies to them again, again, and again. They won’t do what is best for them until they are living in a box on the street with no job, no chance of a job, and NO healthcare. They will have to survive on GoFundMe.
I wonder if those tax breaks equal the amount of loss that they have suffered from the tarriffs……i am not going to automatically put this on the corporate giants….neither of these reps are mentioning the tarriffs…
Manafort visited the embassy in 2013, 2015 and in spring 2016, according to multiple sources and docs. Last visit took place around the time he joined Donald #Trump's campaign https://t.co/eFeUWUdEJJ
Three weeks ago, 62% of Missourians voted for a constitutional amendment to reduce corruption and make the state's elections fairer. The Missouri Republican Party is now trying to undo that amendment. https://t.co/D2VNh0HnpE
4/ Mueller explained that by 2011, the FBI was developing a long-term strategy for dismantling these enterprises, including Threat Focus Cells to target mobsters like Semion Mogilevich—who he said was on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list.
7/ We all know what happens to people who rat on Russian oligarchs—and do their families. I never believed Manafort, who cares about his family, was really going to rat on his Russian buddies.
But Mueller is confident Manafort is lying, which means Mueller knows the truth.
Joint statement from Andrew Gillum and Stacey Abrams on Thomas Farr: "We call on all U.S. Senators who revere our democracy — who put that democracy above party loyalty — to reject this nomination and deny Thomas Farr the platform to continue his crusade against voting rights." pic.twitter.com/rdkMzqZtzj
13/ Another issue for Mueller is that anyone who he sought to prosecute for distributing stolen emails would have a First Amendment defense. They would argue that they're no different than journalists and others who copied materials from Wikileaks and posted them online.
US agriculture accounts for 9 percent of all US greenhouse gas emissions. Now giant pork producer Smithfield and Dominion Energy are teaming up to do something about it by harnessing methane from hog waste lagoons and putting it into gas pipelines. https://t.co/aMPbpqwVze

When people think they can take down Nancy Pelosi and they say it out loud, I just have to laugh. She’s the QUEEN of the House. Period.
She wasn’t called “Nancy Smash” for nothing. 😂
