kpete's JournalElizabeth Warren: Mueller leaves no doubt:
@ewarren
Mueller’s statement makes clear what those who have read his report know: It is an impeachment referral, and it’s up to Congress to act. They should.
@ewarren
Mueller leaves no doubt:
1) He didn't exonerate the president because there is evidence he committed crimes.
2) Justice Department policy prevented him from charging the president with any crimes.
3) The Constitution leaves it up to Congress to act—and that's impeachment.

Not a nothing-burger: Mueller decided to emphasize today that he didn't say "no obstruction."

Most notable was Mueller's explanation that he couldn't charge Trump with obstruction even though he definitely wasn't declaring that Trump didn't commit obstruction. (He said this in the report as well, but he decided to emphasize today that he didn't say "no obstruction."

MUELLER: "When a subject of an investigation obstructs that investigation or lies to investigators, it strikes at the core of their government's effort to find the truth and hold wrongdoers accountable."

A person familiar with the matter tells me Special Counsel Mueller will deliver a “substantial” statement at 11 a.m. today, and the statement is NOT a response to reporting about claims in Michael Wolff’s soon-to-be released book.

Younger Voters Outvoted Older Generations In 2018
Gen Z, Millennials and Gen X outvoted older generations in 2018 midterms“Midterm voter turnout reached a modern high in 2018, and Generation Z, Millennials and Generation X accounted for a narrow majority of those voters,” according to a Pew Research Center analysis.
“The three younger generations – those ages 18 to 53 in 2018 – reported casting 62.2 million votes, compared with 60.1 million cast by Baby Boomers and older generations. It’s not the first time the younger generations outvoted their elders: The same pattern occurred in the 2016 presidential election.”

Pure Evil.
The callousness with which @RepChipRoy just downplayed migrant kids dying at the border is appalling
CUOMO: "Deal with the kids [who are dying at the border] right now, Chip."@RepChipRoy: "No!"
CUOMO: "You know they're dying."
REP. ROY: "Fine."

Haberman has found a way to please the narc enough to be kept around.
@HoarseWisperer
The New York Times, at its best, is a paper that produces soaring pieces like the Pulitzer-winning exposé on the Trump family finances.
It is a paper we actually *need* to be excellent.
The seat Haberman occupies is perhaps its most vital right now.
Far, far too often, what we get foisted on us by the person in that seat, Maggie Haberman, delicately tiptoes around the unvarnished telling of obvious truths.
Like Kellyanne Conway and Sarah Huckabee, Haberman has found a way to please the narc enough to be kept around.

The Holocaust did not start with Auschwitz.
It began with Hitler calling Jews vermin & newspapers publishing his insults. It began with the Nazi party blaming Jews for the country's economic problems. It began with an assault on basic institutions of democracy.
Sounds familiar?
