Trump continues behaving like a Despot's Apprentice—praising dictators & despots while mimicking their authoritarian tactics. The crucial divide in US politics is now between those who defend democratic institutions & those who cheer as Trump attacks them. https://www.amazon.com/Despots-Apprentice-Donald-Trumps-Democracy/dp/1510735852/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1520860396&sr=1-1&keywords=despot%27s+apprentice&dpID=51vrZUewjHL&preST=_SY344_BO1,204,203,200_QL70_&dpSrc=srch …pic.twitter.com/KfPpVn9UUb

Perhaps the campaign should have had a big red bus with “Brexit: It’s not like we won’t be able to eat!” on the side of it?https://twitter.com/singharj/status/1081208536573595651 …

Trump is talking about declaring a national emergency in response to a “crisis” that he has manufactured. Read this to understand why that threat is such an imminent danger to American democracy.https://www.theatlantic.com/amp/article/576418/ …

Oh good, the wannabe despot who attacks the press, tries to undermine rule of law, violates ethics rules, hires family members and cronies, demonizes minority groups, engages in public corruption, and lies constantly to boost his cult of personality has a new idea for his powershttps://twitter.com/philiprucker/status/1081277036465963008 …

Two facts that Trump doesn't want you to know: ✓Migration between the US and Mexico has been negative for years; more people are leaving the US for Mexico than the reverse ✓In FY2017, border apprehensions (a proxy for illegal crossings) were lower than any year since 1971

I’m sick of the debate over whether House Democrats will be perceived as “going too far” on basic oversight. Their Constitutional duty is to provide oversight—rooting out corruption & abuse while protecting democratic institutions & rule of law. That’s the job. They should do it.

Step 1: All Senate Republicans vote for a budget bill. They agree it should become law, unanimously. Step 2: Trump decides he doesn’t like the bill. Step 3: The same bill they voted to make law a few weeks ago magically transforms into a “non-starter” unworthy of discussion.https://twitter.com/chrismurphyct/status/1081195542091304961 …

The problem with strong jobs increase in a slowing economy is that productivity growth is likely weak, which ultimately limits room for higher wages (or eventually creates inflation.)https://twitter.com/bls_gov/status/1081180967526633473 …

Donald Trump’s bizarre and completely bonkers, historically inaccurate rant praising the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan is straight out of a recent, deliberate Kremlin effort to whitewash history. He’s directly spreading Russian propaganda.https://twitter.com/postopinions/status/1071474921249931265 …

Two-thirds of the growth to the illegal/undocumented population of the United States comes from visa overstays—people who came to the US legally, many on a plane, and then overstayed. Unless Trump’s border wall would be 33,001 feet tall, I’m not sure it’ll do much to stop that.
