    Thank you for the torture report- your exposure of the CIA’s torture program was heroic. Supporting the report was one of Dianne Feinstein’s greatest achievements.

    NYT: The report released by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence discloses new details about the C.I.A.’s torture practices.

    Thanks- it’s no joy to expose failing icons such as Feinstein but it’s a serious public policy problem in both parties.

    I know that some Hill reporters have written some about the relative states of dementia among many members of Congress, but we need to hear more of it. Reporters need to be more straightforward in covering what is right in front of them.

    Truly staggering win in New York this a.m.: the state will divest its $226 billion pension fund from fossil fuels. That's the biggest pension fund yet, it comes after a decade of great activism, and it underlines the weakening power of Big Oil

    The dark money group Donors Trust is hiding the identity of its wealthy white supremacist donors, arguing they need protection just like supporters of the NAACP.

    🚨 SCOOP 🚨 DonorsTrust, the "dark money ATM of the conservative movement," gave a whopping $1.5 million to white nationalist hate group VDARE and $10,500 to the nonprofit behind the white nationalist publication American Renaissance in 2019.

    Thread, just in time for me to talk about this Scotus ruling on NPR at noon, thank you . A thought about what Gorsuch is doing: Setting up a similar analysis for the next 2nd Amendment challenge of a local or state gun regulation?

    Short thread on Cuomo case at the Court yesterday, with some history: (1) the per curiam opinion doesn't even try to do the necessary public health analysis; there is only a spurious shifting of the burden to the state and then a change of the subject (per curiam, pp. 5-6). 1/6

    George Mason, delegate to Constitutional Convention, said in 1788 that a President should not have power to pardon because he might "pardon crimes which were advised by himself. It may happen, at some future day, that he will establish a monarchy, and destroy the republic."

    The nerve that Fox has to accuse any media org of lobbing "softball questions" at anyone is truly astounding. For 4 years their news & propaganda divisions have played tee-ball with Trump. When they had the opportunity to press him on important issues, they abdicated their duty.

    reminds us that Kochs' "charm offensive" is a regular part of the election cycle, when "they announce they're really not partisan, they're just working for the public good. You'd have to be an amnesiac to fall for it."
