Queridas y queridos compatriotas, me dirijo a todos los candidatos a la Presidencia para realizar esta campaña con altura, alegría, seriedad y, sobre todo, con respeto. El pueblo ecuatoriano y la #democracia lo merecen.

OK Dems and Lincoln Project. Trump has given you a lay up. His definition of U.S. 'patriotism' has become honoring the Confederate battle flag -- the flag of treason that led to the death of hundreds of thousands fighting under the Nation's colors. How sick is that?

Among the pathologies Germany and the U.S. share are "control fraud." In this first part of the interview (2d part will be released tomorrow) I put recent German and U.S. elite frauds in context and explain the fraud techniques they share. acTVism handles serious topics in depth

Me too, and I help with technical matters (no compensation or financial interest on my part) and have seen them refining their documentary -- it's superb.

[David Dayen @ddayen]

I was interviewed for this project, should be good

If the Bellagio caucus vote proves to be broadly representative of culinary workers' strong support for Bernie, then we know why the union did not endorse a rival despite its leaders' opposition to Bernie. The leaders may have feared pissing off their highly pro-Bernie members.

What O'Brien has confirmed for first time is that the NYT's coverage of GFC was so horrific not merely to Sorkin's obsequious support of bankers, but because the guy leading NYT's coverage blamed the GFC's primary victims

[William K. Black @WilliamKBlack]

Mike B, in reality, was totally wrong. Read Herndon study re liar's loans (which fraudulent bankers used to inflate borrower's income -- a preposterous strategy if banks supposedly compelled by CRA to loan to the poor). 70% total RMBS losses = liar's loans, largely to mid-class

[William K. Black @WilliamKBlack]

Tim O'Brien as Mike B's flack, on Nicole Wallace's program tried to defend Mike v criticism of his redlining libel v. poor blacks causing GFC. Tim's wayward flackery threw NYT under the bus -- said he was in charge of NYT coverage of GFC, was expert in it, and Mike was correct!

[William K. Black @WilliamKBlack]

Chris Hayes just noted Bloomberg's blaming the Great Financial Crisis (GFC) on the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) was false. True, but two other Bloomberg lies in same comments. 1. His 'history' and description of "redlining" are false. 2. Liar's loans to non-poor drove GFC

[William K. Black @WilliamKBlack]

Media, stop saying the problem with Trump intervening for Stone is "he's helping a friend." Trump is helping his co-conspirator Stone because Stone lied and obstructed investigations to hide his and Trump's crimes & Trump fears Stone might flip if he gets long sentence .

[William K. Black @WilliamKBlack]

Every Democratic candidate for the presidency should adopt the federal job guarantee. It should be a defining characteristic of being a Democratic Party officeholder. It does not run afoul of any principle of even conservative democrats. Falsifies claim that poor are lazy.

[William K. Black @WilliamKBlack]

@GovHowardDean Yes, Stephanie Kelton is exceptionally good as an economist with anexcellent predictive record. Running a state or local gov't does require balanced budgets because they have no sovereign currency. The US has a sovereign currency, so it faces a dramatically different dynamic.

[William K. Black @WilliamKBlack]

Oops, no, the Mexican announcers were shouting "Gracias." We made up T-shirts" that replied "De nada."

[William K. Black @WilliamKBlack]

Remember 4+ years ago when U.S. world cup qualifying tie (which soon became a win) v. Panama meant Mexico qualified for the World Cup and Mexican announcers began to scream "De nada Estados Unidos?" Now they should be screaming: 감사합니다 (gamsahamnida).

Fannie and Freddie were serial "accounting control frauds," see earlier SEC complaint re 1999-2003 frauds designed to max exec comp. https://t.co/3kyQehqyua

@Mauerback Such a low bar of comparison.

@Mauerback Go Leafs! Conquer Crush Corrupt Capitals, but in a nice Canadian manner. Best, Bill
