USPS

Let's be clear – Postmaster General DeJoy needs to REVERSE these changes, NOT just suspend them.

We need sorting machines turned back on, mailboxes put back, and Post Office hours restored.

Anything less still amounts to sabotage of our postal system.https://t.co/oFB8Fbpt3d

— emptywheel (@emptywheel) June 27, 2018

15 Given the investigation’s focus on President Trump’s campaign, even a blind person can see that the true target of the Special Counsel’s investigation is President Trump, not defendant, and that defendant’s prosecution is part of that larger plan. Specifically, the charges against defendant are intended to induce defendant to cooperate with the Special Counsel by providing evidence against the President or other members of the campaign. Although these kinds of high-pressure prosecutorial tactics are neither uncommon nor illegal, they are distasteful.

Collusion with Putin on NK

I LOVE that trump cultists are saying it is fake news that the WSJ reported five months ago that Putin advised Trump to drop military exercises with South Korea. It was reported – in a Murdoch paper. https://t.co/T9m7mWz7z1

This is absolutely untrue. North Korea is still a nuclear threat to the U.S., South Korea and Japan. Kim has not dismantled any part of his nuclear apparatus. https://t.co/CZKicIZAjA

America’s president is supposed to be a leader of the world, not a publicist to a dictator. What have we gotten from #KoreanSummit?@realDonaldTrump should check his back pocket — his wallet may be in North Korea.

an more

One trip and it's "mission accomplished," Mr. President? North Korea still has all its nuclear missiles, and we only got a vague promise of future denuclearization from a regime that can't be trusted.

North Korea is a real and present threat. So is a dangerously naive president. https://t.co/dufG8rVHsL

AVENATTI calls for Cohen to "turn over all of his bank records from this account from its inception through today. If there is nothing to hide, he should release them."

part of throwing Cohen under the bus

"I don't know who's been representing you, but you should fire them all. I'm the guy you should hire. I'm closest to the President. I'm his personal lawyer," was how one GOP strategist described Cohen's sales pitch. https://t.co/tU7adyS2o7
