    After 13 days of flat denials. If this is the new denial, why would anyone take this new excuse seriously?

    CNN reporting that Saudis are about to admit that Khashoggi was killed at Istanbul consulate in unauthorized interrogation gone wrong.

    Such deficits are indefensibly reckless with growth reasonably high and unemployment low. Funny how the “Tea Party” wing of the Republican party has no problem with such debt now that it’s not Obama in office...🤔

    The U.S. federal budget deficit rose in fiscal year 2018 to $779,000,000,000, $113 billion higher than the previous fiscal period, CNBC reports.

    This is disgusting. It’s tacit endorsement of Putin’s recent poisonings on British soil of not just Russian nationals but also British nationals. It gives Putin a green light to murder people—and it’s a clear abandonment of America’s most powerful ally. Revolting.

    Trump downplays Russian poisoning attacks because 'it's not in our country'

    “All I can do is report what he [the King of Saudi Arabia] told me.” What an absurd statement. The US government doesn’t rely on the official denials & lies of kings. Echoes of Trump taking Putin & Kim at face value before parroting the talking points of dictators & despots.

    Trump, sounding very similar to his Putin interference denials, says that it could have been "rogue killers" who murdered Jamal Khashoggi. "It sounded to me like maybe these could have been rogue killers. Who knows?" (via ABC)

    Trump providing cover for Saudi on the alleged murder of Khashoggi raises two disturbing questions: 1) Would the Saudis murder Khashoggi if Trump wasn’t beholden to them financially? 2) Would the Saudis murder Khashoggi if he wrote for Fox News rather than the Washington Post?

    Authoritarian governments have always blatantly lied about their own abuses. The difference is that they previously couldn’t rely on the President of the United States being their apologist-in-chief who spreads their propaganda and lies for them. Now they can.

    Trump just now says Saudi Arabia “firmly denies” killing & brings up idea of “rogue killers” being responsible. As with Putin, Trump taking denial of authoritarian & interested party at face value.

    Trump is doubling-down on something insidious that he did previously: highlighting that Khashoggi is not a US citizen. He’s been hinting that he shouldn’t care so much that they murdered a US resident/Washington Post columnist because he’s not a US citizen. Disgusting & dangerous

    Just spoke to the King of Saudi Arabia who denies any knowledge of whatever may have happened “to our Saudi Arabian citizen.” He said that they are working closely with Turkey to find answer. I am immediately sending our Secretary of State to meet with King!

    Trump has now tweeted about crowds 280 times. For comparison: He’s tweeted about human rights 3x. And one of those three times was to make fun of John Kerry for caring about them.

    The crowds at my Rallies are far bigger than they have ever been before, including the 2016 election. Never an empty seat in these large venues, many thousands of people watching screens outside. Enthusiasm & Spirit is through the roof. SOMETHING BIG IS HAPPENING - WATCH!

    The president is explicitly saying that inflicting enormous amounts of lasting trauma on innocent toddlers and young children is a pretty good thing actually because it’s so horrific that it deters border crossings. Trump has shown us who he is; now it’s up to us to vote.

    Trump speaks favourably of the family separation policy: "When you allow the parents to stay together, okay, when you allow that, then what happens is people are going to pour into our country." He says he's looking at re-implementing it, among other possibilities.

    The Saudis made a strategic calculation: Trump’s dictator worship; his personal financial ties to Saudi; and his hatred for the press—especially the Washington Post—meant he wouldn’t react harshly to them murdering a journalist. So far, they were right.

    Thought provoking from who sees the murder of journalists as symptom of deeper structural changes in the flow of money, power & information. Daphne & Khashoggi as canaries in the coal mine of globalised corruption..

    Basic science should not be partisan. Scientists have reached a clear consensus that climate change is real, dangerous, and caused by human activity. Again, a partisan “debate” in which one side is just objectively wrong based on empirical scientific evidence.

    Asked on if climate change a hoax, said “something’s changing and it will change back again.” He would not say it is man-made; said responding would cost $ and jobs. Wrong. Things will not go back, it is man-made, & responding will create jobs & save $

    The voter fraud/voter suppression debate is one of those frustrating “partisan” issues that we can answer with data. It’s not partisan to show that, empirically, voter suppression often influences the outcome of US elections; voter fraud does not. Facts shouldn’t be partisan.

    Democrats fear voter suppression. Republicans fear vote fraud. The data show suppression is widespread; voter fraud is not. George W. Bush’s DoJ studied voter fraud & found it occurs on 0.00000013% of ballots. A recent study found 31 cases out of a billion ballots from 2000-2014.

    Democrats should make expanding voting rights a cornerstone of the party’s agenda: turn Election Day into a national holiday; implement automatic voter registration (an opt-out rather than opt-in system); expand early voting; create strict guidelines about voting line wait times.

    Good and important piece, .

    Maybe we shouldn't write columns when upset. But I was angry as I wrote my Sunday column about the apparent murder of Jamal Khashoggi, about the pathetic White House response, and about all those who fawned over and enabled MBS: Please read and comment.

    Good to be (briefly) back in the USA! Looking forward to a packed 60 hours — an NFL game, a talk at NYU, , with and eating my three favorite American foods that don’t exist in the UK: Milanos, Wheat Thins, and Goldfish.
