    FACT: Mike Bloomberg spent $12,000,000 to re-elect a Senate Republican (Toomey) in 2016. Toomey beat the Dem (McGinty) by 1.5pts. If McGinty had won, Ds would have controlled the Senate after Doug Jones won & could have blocked Kavanaugh from the Sup Court

  5. There’s also a line in where he says something to the effect of “the first time in history a majority-white nation became majority nonwhite” and it’s one of those little but revealing lines that shows how he has completely naturalized “race” as a transhistorical identity.

    Trump's legal team gave thousands in contributions to Republican senators ahead of the impeachment trial, according to data from the Center for Responsive Politics. Trump's lawyers also gave thousands to McConnell, Graham, and Cruz before the trial began.

    NIGERIA. The largest black population in the world. A large Muslim population. A US ally, and one of the most important economies in Africa. Trump's comments about African nations being sh*thole countries were not just words. He was foreshadowing actual policy direction.
