Here I thought I was countering O'care critics trolling AOC. Yes, Ocare was attempt to graft a fix onto existing system. Worth a shot. But it's too complex & has too many losers. https://t.co/blBepFvomW Not trolling anyone except Wonkblog types who assured us it would work fine. https://t.co/Bh6zRlslcq

Worse, when he was working for the Trump campaign he encouraged reporters to write critically about Trump's opponents! Can you do that and expect our democratic project to survive? https://t.co/TcnmM2R0Zp

Just heard on SkyNews that the election is really *bad* news for Brexit because Johnson won such a huge margin by campaigning for Brexit that he no longer needs to rely on Tory "Brexiteers." OK!

She also vowed to defeat "those who …wrongly blame immigration for the problems people face – low wages, overburdened public services, housing shortages – and pretend that tighter restrictions will make it all better."
She lost her seat.https://t.co/p4jRxvbFre https://t.co/3jRTndnQ6J

Hmmm. It's not easy to get a blue check from @Twitter (which apparently gives you some kind of boost). I don't think there's an application process. But if you run for Senate, you get one? Could be a crowded ballot. … https://t.co/QDDMpWjsky

I guess my point is that "privacy" concerns and "FISA abuse" are important–but the BIG scandal, which isn't being emphasized enough, is the successful sluicing of skeezy & bogus oppo, paid by one candidate, to FBI brass to hurt the candidate's opponent. https://t.co/7AA9J3miBd

?? You wrote it "was not used as the basis for a FISA warrant." Now you say it was "a significant and problematic component" of the application. You shouldn't be fired for your initial report, but for now dissembling & refusing to admit having misled …? https://t.co/wnlBhZ47nh https://t.co/Bw9LPYcGMK

I suppose it's also important that the oppo was sketchy and uncorroborated and seems to have been largely bogus. https://t.co/4tNvabzTaS

One candidate's paid- for oppo getting sluiced to the highest levels of the FBI and being used to con the secret FISA court to investigate her opponents' campaign is … vaguely troubling also. https://t.co/1iQ4B0DJ9r
