Nice international mix of guests, perfect as what is happening in the US impacts the whole world. So hard to believe it was all so delicate.

[Dan Rather @DanRather]

We can't shrug off Trump's attacks on the press. Ever. They're undemocratic and invite, even incite, violence. This bears repeating. It demands repeating. Last night @CNN's @Acosta faced down a hostile crowd. Support from his colleagues, competitors, and general public is a must.

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

Until we know what happened at that two hour meeting in Helsinki, @realDonaldTrump should have no more one-on-one interactions with Putin. In the United States, in Russia, or anywhere else.

Seeing DNI Coats’ reaction to Putin WH invite 👇, incl his sincere laugh, is terrifying. How can THIS not be “the straw...”? #resist #ResistTrump

[ABC News @ABC]

Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats informed on stage at Aspen Security Forum that the Trump administration has invited Vladimir Putin to the White House.

"Say that again," he responds. https://t.co/RBdhdILVas

@perlmutations @happyharry29 @jakstrate Not surprising god-like powers were included for the POTUS w/ Senate able to challenge if they wanted to, which they do not.

I see others said similar here. I agree with your overall sentiment but most of you would be well served by learning how other free countries are governed

[Tom James @NorthZapper]

@perlmutations Distressing, not surprising in a REPUBLIC w/ a constitution written by the rich & powerful @HappyHarry29 @jakstrate

US Sen & H of Reps parallels UK House of LORDS & H of Commons! Upper Houses were to keep the lower house rabble in check while giving a false sense of inclusion...

[Stephanie Ruhle @SRuhle]

Why are trump friends, former lawyers and associates pontificating over whether or not Cohen will flip on Trump?
Why aren’t they saying TRUMP & COHEN ARE INNOCENT?

[Tom James @NorthZapper]

@LtUhura1 YW!

Hey, it’s nice to see the #SciFi, #Geeksresist, and the rest along with our similar old-school / new-school banners! 🖖

[Ricky Davila @TheRickyDavila]

Nikki Haley: Announced more Russian sanctions.

trump: Cancels any plans for further sanctions.

White House: She was confused.

Nikki Haley: "With all due respect, I don’t get confused.”

@brysonsanders63 Your bio’s wording is clever and funny! Good to connect.

[Kurt Eichenwald @kurteichenwald]

1. @FoxNews constitutes a clear and present danger to the Republic. Through constant spinning of conspiracy theories about "deep states" and traitors within our patriotic intelligence and law enforcement agencies, they are deluding the paranoid narcissist Trump, who is also....

[Tom James @NorthZapper]

Hey @CNN @AC360 @jaketapper @OutFrontCNN , have a look👇and take a cue from MSNBC.

Pls stop being enablers.

Call him out. Cut off the lies.

Take a lesson from the pres elect coverage you all did that got us here!

[Sarah Reese Jones @PoliticusSarah]

MSNBC cuts off Trump in mid-rant as he rambles about Mexicans being rapists. https://t.co/Q8PVYKsjfu

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

Just like the fake steel tariffs where @realDonaldTrump exempted numerous foreign countries, we now have fake expulsions where Trump will let the 60 expelled Russian diplomats be replaced by new ones.

@POTUS often shows great weakness when he is confronted. https://t.co/nUkKcp5Rin

[Julian Borger @julianborger]

State Department confirms that Russia can replace the diplomats, alleged to be intel officers, expelled last week.
US "is not requiring the Russian bilateral mission to reduce its total number of personnel" a spox says. New accreditation to be reviewed on a "case-by-case basis.”

[Dan Rather @DanRather]

News anchors looking into camera and reading a script handed down by a corporate overlord, words meant to obscure the truth not elucidate it, isn't journalism. It's propaganda. It's Orwellian. A slippery slope to how despots wrest power, silence dissent, and oppress the masses.

[Power to the People ☭🕊 @ProudSocialist]

Trump Today: “We started building our wall. I’m so proud of it.”

Work has not begun on wall.

There’s not even funding for wall.

There’s $1.6 billion of funding for border security/replacement fencing (not wall).

This was a bald-faced lie by Trump.

This is called GASLIGHTING.

[Tom James @NorthZapper]

@mcspocky So sorry to hear that. Thanks for letting us know.

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

Turns out Guccifer 2.0 is not, as @realDonaldTrump said was a possibility, some random 400 pound hacker on his bed. The evidence suggests the hacker is Russian military intelligence. https://t.co/MbYVKgUdoT

@haleyhaley2012 So sad to see you think Canada does not like you. Nothing could be further from the truth. Of all counties in the world, most Canadians think of you as our closest friends and many see us as really the same, like cousins. That is how I view us.

[Tom James @NorthZapper]

@haleyhaley2012 Thx for the kind words. On trade, I am not an expert. It is a complex issue. I think we all benefit from nafta and what you are taking about is who benefits more. We are all worse off w/o it. IMHO withdrawing inward seems so much worse than working together so we all do better.
