Much Has Been Confirmed in Dossier at Heart of Donald Trump Scandal – SPIEGEL ONLINE
Cohen and three other Trump emissaries met with people in Prague, including a man named Oleg Solodukhin. The meeting allegedly had to do with paying off Romanian hackers who, under the direction of the Kremlin, had been working to undermine the Clinton campaign. Cohen and Solodukhin reportedly discussed how they could funnel the money to the hackers and how the cooperation between Trump and Putin’s people could be covered up. Steele wrote that Trump’s people and the Russians agreed at the meeting that the Romanian hackers should go into hiding and “other operatives should head for a bolt-hole in Plovdiv, Bulgaria where they should ‘lay low.'” What a story! — that is, if it’s true. Trump’s lawyer allegedly conspired with the Kremlin. If this can be proved, it would amount to treason, but so far there is no concrete proof. Late last year, the U.S. newspaper publishing group McClatchy reported that one of Cohen’s mobile phones had logged on to a cell phone tower near Prague at the time in question. The journalists referred to four anonymous sources. But Cohen has repeatedly stated that he has never been to Prague or anywhere else in the Czech Republic. Oleg Solodukhin, the allege

Ralph Northam’s Cruel Blackface Apology
If there’s anything remarkable about this moment, it’s not that these white men donned blackface, but how far they will go to avoid reckoning with what that says about them.
Matt Gaetz Tried To Eject Parkland Parents From Congressional Gun Hearing
On Wednesday, during the House’s first gun violence hearing in eight years, Florida Representative Matt Gaetz tried to remove Parkland parents from the audience. The parents took issue with Gaetz’s derision of H.R. 8, an act that would require background checks for every gun purchase in America. Gaetz asserted that Donald Trump’s proposed border wall should be a primary focus in the gun violence debate instead.

Metropolitan Republican Club’s New President Provided Services To ‘Nazi-Friendly,’ Far Right German Political Party: Gothamist “Typical of full of themselves young GOPers who have real ego problems and wanna look cool and tough – but are just racists and fascists!
Reilly’s campaign to be president of the club was supported by far-right figurehead Milo Yiannopoulos—which concerns other New York Republicans. J.C. Polanco, a Republican party strategist, told NY1, “We’re going to be pushing voters away… Someone who has their endorsement should not be leading any Republican organization in New York City. Our party needs to get away from that and be inclusive.”
Iranian opposition unwelcome at Pompeo’s anti-Iran bash – It’s just about making Clown Trump look good, not to actually do something for or about Iran…
the people who most want to be there — Iran’s constellation of opposition groups — have reportedly all been overlooked, leaving many wondering what precisely the point of the exercise is. “What is the logic of seeking to contain Iran when you don’t engage with the country’s opposition?” asked Asso Hassan Zadeh, the deputy secretary-general of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (Iran), one of the main Kurdish opposition groups based in Kurdish-controlled northern Iraq. Hassan Zahdeh said his organization had approached the US consul general in Erbil on behalf of a coalition of “the most important” Iranian Kurdish political organizations for an invitation this week but had not heard back from him. In a letter to the consul shared with Al-Monitor, Hassan Zadeh wrote, “In spite of the broad character of the title and the program of the said conference, no one doubts that the Islamic Republic and the future of Iran is the main stake of the conference. … It is unfortunate that the main interested party, namely the Iranian people, is not somehow associated with the international discussions on Iran.”

Food Politics by Marion Nestle » Mind-boggle of the week: USDA buys pork from Brazilian JBS with USA bailout funds
Mind-boggle of the week: USDA buys pork from JBS The Washington Post reports that the USDA has committed about $5 million of bailout funds to buy 1.8 million pounds of pork products from the Brazilian meatpacker, JBS. The bailout funds were supposed to help U.S. commodity producers who lost sales because of the tariff disputes with China. JBS is the biggest meat seller in the U.S. It employs 73,000 people here. Maybe the USDA thought it was an American company? Globalization in action…

Susan Collins’s Brett Kavanaugh Support Nets $32,000 Donations
When the so-called Republican “moderate” made the announcement that she would confirm Kavanaugh, she gave a 43-minute long, condescending speech explaining her decision to do so. Collins praised his “judicial temperament” and said she was “alarmed and disturbed” by those who argued that supporting an accused sexual assaulter was “condoning sexual assault.” A few days later, Collins said that her decision to confirm Kavanaugh was very “difficult.” Lucrative, too.
