NEWS: Sources familiar tell me the whistleblower complaint has been declassified with minimal redactions but not yet released to the public. The expectation is that it will be released in the morning.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Did you know our Fed poverty line is based on 1955 spending, & the way we calculate it hasn’t changed since 1964?

It assumes 1 earner & a mother home full-time.

It doesn’t include cost of childcare, geographic cost of living, or healthcare.

Some predict it should be *$38k/yr.*

The call had nothing to do with highly classified programs, but by moving it into this separate system, the White House could control who could see the transcript: only a very small group of people.

[Kate Brannen @K8brannen]

When the call was over, senior White House officials pulled the verbatim transcript out of the system that it is traditionally stored in and put it into a separate system reserved for extremely sensitive/highly compartmented programs.

@AditiJuneja3 Those are the ones you have to keep an eye on the most. At least in my experience. My cards are SNARKY.

"The acting director of national intelligence threatened to resign over concerns that the White House might attempt to force him to stonewall Congress when he testifies Thursday about an explosive whistleblower complaint about the president..."

Welp at least now I never have to read the Hyperion series.

[Rachel Hawkins/Erin Sterling @LadyHawkins]

Okay, I no longer feel any guilt for saying The Abominable sucks the bag. It did, and apparently so does its author!

Breaking via NYT: The intelligence officer who filed the whistleblower complaint raised alarms not only about what Trump and Zelensky said in the phone call, but also about how the White House handled records of the conversation, according to two people. https://t.co/kI3WY2kjO0

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

Here we go again...
As you may have noticed, the haters are as active as ever - going after me, my looks, my clothes, my behaviour and my differences.
They come up with every thinkable lie and conspiracy theory. (Thread->)

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

It seems they will cross every possible line to avert the focus, since they are so desperate not to talk about the climate and ecological crisis.
Being different is not an illness and the current, best available science is not opinions - it’s facts. ->

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

I honestly don’t understand why adults would choose to spend their time mocking and threatening teenagers and children for promoting science, when they could do something good instead. I guess they must simply feel so threatened by us. ->

Pelosi's shop confirms the White House sent them a copy of their talking points on Trump/Ukraine -- and then followed up with a "recall" email 😂
