Trump damages our ability to be a force for good abroad by reneging on domestic anti-corruption measures. & US prosecutors may lose their ability to convince juries "run of the mill" corruption by state & local elected officials should be punished. https://t.co/9sc2NhoD7R
More than 9,000 barrels of oil are estimated to have spilled from a leak in the Keystone Pipeline in North Dakota. It's the second significant spill in two years in the pipeline that runs from Canada's tar sands region and through seven U.S. states. https://t.co/EiYAIqrpWz
Our voices can’t be silenced. It’s more important now than ever to protect voting rights & why @HouseDemocrats passed the #ForThePeople Act. Yet, the bill still sits in the #McConnellGraveyard. I urge the Senate to stop playing politics & put it to a vote https://t.co/3GzQHk68dD

The raids happened on the 1st day of school. Obviously, these kids can't focus on school now & likely, not for awhile. In fact, it's probable they won't learn well for the entire year. There may be lifelong impact; they'll always be trying to catch up. They're Americans citizens.
With Sue Gordon out, ODNI has no director, no acting dir. Gordon will leave a big void—a key strength is her reputation in Silicon Valley, where most intel innovation needs come from, per a US official. “She sits across from these CEO’s and has credibility. Will her replacement?”
Read this about the Trump Admin killing off the science units at the Agriculture Dept. Termination notices are apparently going out now -- most of these units will lose almost all their staff. Decades of priceless high-level scientific expertise, all off-loaded indiscriminately:
