"Special counsel Robert S. Mueller III is thought to be in the final stages of an investigation" -  That's buried in the article, but pretty insightful, albeit without citation or full evidence. Still interesting.

What’s the point of this tweet? Other than to be racist and remind people of one of the places where we carried out genocide against Native Americans?

If Elizabeth Warren, often referred to by me as Pocahontas, did this commercial from Bighorn or Wounded Knee instead of her kitchen, with her husband dressed in full Indian garb, it would have been a smash! pic.twitter.com/D5KWr8EPan

This twitter thread by a former FBI special agent, U.S. Army officer and leading cyber-security expert, takes everything we've been reading and discussing over the last two years and lays it all out in succession. When you see it in its totality, it's not only damning, but frightening on many levels. The failure of our Republican Congress to act, their complicity, the denial of everyday Americans in support of Trump, the conspiracy theories they repeat to defend him, the attacks on our law enforcement and the 24/7 propaganda channel dedicated to covering it all up. But more than anything, the fact that we essentially have a Russian stooge (witting or unwitting) in the oval office. Our own president is the enemy and a true danger to our country.

Must read:

How will this play out with the shutdown...will this have an affect on his approval rating? Will there be any long term consequences? It sure doesn’t seem like his base can be dented.
