I've repeatedly criticized Trump for: Iran, Venezuela, selling out to GOP donor class, flaming pointless culture war divisions, appointing terrible people to high-level positions, more
But decline to hop on the nonsensical Russia/impeachment bandwagon, and you're an "apologist"

Blackburn was justified in blocking this knee-jerk bill on the ground that it is "overbroad." We don't have good definitions of what constitutes "foreign assistance" or even an "offer." Could easily end up penalizing otherwise legal, innocuous activity twitter.com/axios/status/1…

A non-American may volunteer to canvass or phonebank for a presidential campaign. Even though those canvassing/phonebanking hours are theoretically "things of value," they are legally permitted. But now I guess we're going to have a hysterical push for criminalization

Did you know? Non-Americans are legally permitted to contribute "things of value" to US political campaigns, so long as those things are contributed on a volunteer basis. Hence "volunteering" information would not necessarily be a crime, despite widespread screeching otherwise pic.twitter.com/ontEwak2RU

House rejected AOC's amendment to allow federal research on psychedelic drugs. (Most of the leadership in both parties voted NAY). However, 91 votes in favor is a good start. Well done @AOC! pic.twitter.com/cUg2fX03PQ

The ongoing propaganda offensive against Iran isn’t even well-executed. It’s not 2002 where everyone automatically buys into the latest alarmist, evidence-free, war-lusting BS. Yet the think tank / neocon nincompoops maintain proximity to power, so might get what they want anyway

Jerrold Nadler could initiate impeachment proceedings today. Pelosi is not some kind of God. She can't prevent Nadler from starting the process. It's absurd how everything associated with impeachment is portrayed as hinging exclusively on the day-to-day whims of Pelosi

Given his stated views (such as routinely declaring Trump a Russian agent) it makes no sense that Swalwell waited this long to call for impeachment. Incoherent mess twitter.com/ericswalwell/s…

Please watch this video before you freak out about it. It’s inoffensive. Getting all bent out of shape over stuff like this undermines the legitimate outrage at Trump for the bad policies he supports; it makes Democrats look crazy. twitter.com/abc/status/113…

The 2001 AUMF being cited to authorize war against Iran, based on some imaginary "relationship" between Iran and Al Qaeda, is absolutely insane and all the more reason to repeal that law ASAP twitter.com/benjaminja/sta…

A law firm retained by the Hillary Clinton campaign paid a foreign operative to collect "dirt" on Trump, ostensibly from Russians. I know the operative later went to the FBI, but can anyone explain how that doesn't constitute "interference" under the current hysterical framework

Bullock actually has some notable achievements, especially in the area of campaign finance (opensecrets.org/news/2019/05/o…) and the "Big Sky" region is often ignored nationally. Twice elected in a "red state." MT budget was only finalized May 13. Not fair. I stand with @GovernorBullock!

It's stupid to exclude Steve Bullock, the Governor of Montana, from the debates at this stage. And for that matter, Moulton and Gravel. It's so early; just let everyone in, rather than concoct a bunch of arbitrary rules that place a premium on the difference between .5% and 1%

To repeat, Robert Mueller himself cited "constraints" posed by the First Amendment as part of the reason why he declined to prosecute anyone for receiving "foreign" information at the 2016 Trump Tower meeting. But evidently the First Amendment is now regarded as obsolete by many pic.twitter.com/aw12MCcHmO
