In July, I took a ride through the Arizona desert with Verlon Jose, chairman of the Tohono O’odham Nation, a sprawling reservation on the U.S.-Mexico border that may soon be changed forever. It was the beginning of an investigation that ProPublica is publishing today. THREAD ⬇️

Senator Tammy Duckworth: "Putin told Iran the locations of our warships. Today, Trump rewarded him by lifting sanctions and allowing American dollars to fuel Russia’s war machine. Our troops are in harm’s way, and the President cut a deal with the adversary putting a target on their backs."

Holding a public execution would put the United States in the category of Iran, Afghanistan, North Korea and Somalia. There were 17 public executions around the world last year confirmed by Amnesty International, 6 in Afghanistan and 11 in Iran.

Fixed it for Trump.
Trump's post announcing a diesel deal with Russia. I've covered up false claims he made with grey boxes, and in yellow text written what is true, including that "receiving bribes from Vladimir Putin" is his greatest priority.

22Bellamy was a Christian socialist, who
"championed 'the rights of working people and the equal distribution of economic resources, which he believed was inherent in the teachings of Jesus!"[6. In 1891, Bellamy was
"forced from his Boston pulpit for preaching against the evils of capitalism" [3] and eventually stopped attending church altogether after moving to Florida, reportedly because of the racism he witnessed there. '0! Francis's
career as a preacher ended because of his tendency to describe Jesus as a socialist. In the 21st century, Bellamy is considered an early American democratic socialist.""]

Rep. Jamie Raskin

@RepRaskin
This may be felony criminal theft and conversion of government property for political campaign purposes. 18 U.S.C. § 1641. It is a Hatch Act violation for any government employees who worked on it or used government resources to make it. It is blatantly unethical under numerous federal ethics provisions proscribing the use of government resources for political campaigns.
