From Fake News to Enemy of the People: An Anatomy of Trump’s Tweets | Inter Press Service

The president’s tweets can have an impact and consequences for the press both at home and abroad. His rhetoric has given cover to autocratic regimes: world leaders from Cambodia to the Philippines have echoed terms like “fake news” in the midst of crackdowns on press freedom. And the rhetoric has sometimes resulted in harassment of individual journalists in the U.S., where CPJ is aware of several journalists who say they were harassed or threatened online after being singled out on Twitter by Trump. CPJ’s database of tweets can be viewed here and our methodology can be found here.

Covington Catholic School’s Not So “Christian” Values – LA Progressive

The students say they were under assault by a gang of “Black Hebrew Israelites.”  The group is a well-established fringe religious movement, frequently engaged in street preaching around Washington D.C.  Their preaching is frequently profane, but is not known for violence.  The “gang” that assaulted the Covington Catholic School students numbered FOUR.  There were a couple of others, filming the preaching, as the group does, for posting on Youtube. The Covington Catholic School students being “assaulted” numbered about 50.  They were gathering at the Lincoln Memorial to get reloaded onto their school busses for the ride back to Kentucky, where the school is located.  Yes, 50 active, healthy young men under deadly “assault” by 4 street preachers holding scriptures and religious signs.“” Additionally, the four Black Hebrew Israelite preachers were on the sidewalk, below the Covington Catholic School students standing on the steps leading up to the Lincoln Memorial.  The Native American marchers were also down on  the sidewalk level, below the students.  Until the students descended the steps for the purpose of blocking the way where the elderly Native American was walking, they wer

Wednesday Open Thread | There Is No Deal To Be Made…Stay Strong, Madam Speaker | 3CHICSPOLITICO

There is no BOTH SIDES to this Government Shutdown. There simply isn’t. Dolt45 and The Turtle are responsible for the Government Shutdown. Period. The Democrats have watched and have had their last nerve snapped. They are done. They are not going to negotiate with terrorists. It was Dolt45 who damaged DACA. It was Dolt45 who damages TPS. The Supreme Court has already given a pass to hearing the case on DACA, which means that those under DACA’s protections don’t have to worry about it for another year. So, exactly what was Dolt45 going to negotiate with, considering that the Supreme Court has already made its decision. Give into them now, and they’ll be back to the well when the debt ceiling comes up. And, then, it ‘ll be something else. NO.NEGOTIATING.WITH.TERRORISTS.

Michael Cohen delays congressional testimony, citing threats from President Trump – Los Angeles Times

Trump has previously suggested that investigators look into Cohen’s family. “Watch father-in-law!” he tweeted last week. Trump told Fox News on Jan. 12 that Cohen was lying about him to get a reduced sentence. “But he should give information maybe on his father-in-law, because that’s the one that people want to look at,” he said. In response, top Democrats issued a statement warning about the president’s comments. “Our nation’s laws prohibit efforts to discourage, intimidate or otherwise pressure a witness not to provide testimony to Congress,” said Cummings, Schiff and Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. Giuliani said Trump’s comments did not represent an attempt to obstruct a congressional investigation. “It’s defending yourself,” he said on CNN.

House floor erupts after {GOP} lawmaker shouts ‘Go back to Puerto Rico’

The House floor erupted Thursday after Congress adjourned for the week when an unidentified Republican congressman yelled a controversial and potentially racially charged remark across the aisle as Democratic Rep. Tony Cárdenas was at the podium. “Go back to Puerto Rico!” the lawmaker shouted, punctuating a stream of Republican whooping and hollering at the Democratic majority for holding a voice vote — instead of the normal roll call vote — to…

If Trump isn’t working for them, he’s not really work for us either. By allowing Russia to gain standing on the world stage, Trump is diminishing the foreign policy work laid since the end of World War II when the U.S. saved Russia.

The Cold War was waged over Russia’s desire for an expanded political role among world superpowers through a build up of nuclear weapons and the coercion of witting partners. After three decades of decline, Putin has put them back at the main table with Trump as his wing man.
