I'm taking away the Judge title from Andrew Napolitano, he's now a political hack mouthpiece. Someone, now OWNS him. He just said on #YourWorldWithNeilCavuto @FoxNewsthe the only thing satisfactory is an INTERROGATION by the FBI of #JudgeBrettKavanaugh 🤬Unf*cking believable!
This is the kangaroo court he advocates. #Basta.. 
We are Mr. President, I'm in full blown mama bear mode. We must defend our founding principles including rules of evidence, presumption of innocence and rule of law. Freedom itself is under attack.
I sit here thinking this is what survivors must feel like as I watch republicans steamroll this man over all the witnesses that won't be called or the testimony heard and they annihilate Dr Ford's life. I know I cannot speak from an experience of assault, my wife can, I can't. 1/
I hope my daughter never has to. To tell someone the most horrible thing that has happened to you in front of the world and the men pay you lip service and move on. I know this is nowhere in the same universe of surviving an assault but I feel the rage. I feel powerless. 2/
Who do I tell that would believe me? You say report, it's your obligation. Do I tell my family who shames me? Do I tell the cop who blames me? Do I tell a priest who silences me. Do I tell congress who won't believe me? Do I tell the media who sensationalizes me? 3/
I could write essays on #whyIdidntreport, but they all start with this: the first time he grabbed me and hugged me at 12 (the very first grooming for future molestation), I told my mother. She said "what is wrong with you? don't you know what people do when they love eachother?"
I never mentioned it to her again, until the day after I took him to court 7 years later, at which point she said to me on the phone "I know everyone involved in this, I know exactly what happened. YOU tell ME how that was abuse."
In 27 subsequent years, we've spoken once.
The last time I saw her was at court, when she saw me coming out of court after testifying against him. She laughed at me.
And then she went in to testify that I was crazy, a whore, and had made the whole thing up to hurt her. #basta

Not being a Catholic, I chime in: Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò accuses Pope of something he’s guilty of and fails to address being essentially demoted. Why did Viganò interfere in an investigation himself? Something stinks in his accusation...
2/ Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò has a series of “controversies” that give me pause on his accusations including arranging a meeting between Pope and Kim Davis, the clerk who refused to follow the law and give out marriage license to gay couple.
3/ Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò suppressed an investigation in the St Paul and Minnesota Archdiocese in 2014 but now points finger at Pope?
Who paid Avenatti's bills when he still owes $10 million from the last settlement?

The irony #BASTA and now fired #creepypornlawyer won't let press in on his hearings 🤣can't wait for your presidential run #Avenatti2020 latimes.com/politics/la-na…
We start this thread with a bit of a funny. Avenatti tweets out a pic posted by Q the night before & asks who he is...interesting, right? Wait, it gets better, we've uncovered another interesting story here. Waiting on WaPo could prove futile, their schtick that day? #FakeNews
In order to tell our story on the man in the pic though, we have to go back a few years... To the Gotti trial of all places. Wait, who is Gotti calling a punk? The book should have been titled "The Deep State Crime Syndicate" ... just saying.
Back to the man in the pic... actually, this one was much easier than the one of John Key in the last one. His story though...whew...He was never accepted by the NY Mafia... so he joined the Albanian Mafia...the one OUR gov't prefers to work with. #MadeMan vs #RemadeMan here

Release: Because for-profit or military imprisonment is unnecessary and illegal
Represent: Because represented children and families have a 96% court appearance rate and are 400% more likely to win their claims for relief
Reunify: Because we can do it faster than the government

@RAICESTEXAS @MigrantFreedom @TXCivilRights @ACLU @ProPublica @ThinkLawLab @abogadatejana @AlOtroLado_Org @aldea_pjc @immcouncil Are ready, willing, and able to put these families back together much more efficiently than the government ever could.
Unemployment in the United States is below 4%. The reduction in unemployment resulted partially from a fall in labor force participation, which hit a three-month low of 62.8%.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics expects the participation-rate reduction to continue, due to an aging US population. Therefore, the overall unemployment rate is likely to fall further, perhaps reaching 3.7% in 2019, according to FocusEconomics Consensus Forecast.
Immigrants have historically filled the gap between aging, retiring Americans, and the work-age contributors. How does this fit with the republicans wanting to "ban" all immigrants??
@waltshaub 1/ It's not over by a longshot. He has created an abusive relationship with America. If you've experienced abuse or worked with those who have been abused, it's blatantly obvious. Choose your target and find their soft spot. Use flattery, gifts, etc. to win them over.
@waltshaub 2/ Inflate yourself to seem more appealing to them, paint yourself as their knight in shining armor who can solve their problems. Isolate them by explaining how nobody else understands and/or highlight flaws in "others". Get them to depend on you as much as possible.
@waltshaub 3/ As their dependence grows, remind them how lucky they are to have you, how they should be loyal to you because of all your "sacrifice". If they show signs of resistance, remind them that they owe it all to you and would be nothing without you.
Here is a letter my client Levis just wrote to her 6 yr old son Samir, whom she has not seen or comm with in over 2 weeks. They told her he was being taken for a “bath” & would be brought right back. He is a gentle boy and very attached to his mother. She is terrified. #Basta
In the thread that follows, I will post a translation of my client Levis’s letter. It is one story among thousands.
“To: Samir The love of my life.
From: your mom. The love of your life.
Hello my love how are you? I hope you are doing well, just want to tell you that everything is ok, I am sorry my son about everything that is going on, this separation hurts my soul…”
From: your mom. The love of your life.

As a fmr immigration attorney let me be unambiguously clear. Crossing a boarder to claim asylum is *not* a crime; no under US or international law. Any child separated from a parent under that pretext is done so in direct contravention to the laws of the USA. ⚖ THREAD Pls RT.
If you came to the US without permission to apply for asylum, youmetjod of entry, whether legal or illegal *should* in no way effect your application process. Illegal entry is not a ground of inadmissibility for asylum applicants.
Unlike many other categories of applicants for immigration benefits, ppl seeking asylum in the US are not barred by having made an illegal entry; for example, sneaked across the U.S. border or overstaying a valid visa (one of the top ways people are in the country illegall).
The horrific #Goodlatte #immigration bill soon up for debate isn't something to be "compromised" with. It's a harsh, intentional, irrevocable shift Trumpward.

Here are just a few of many reasons.

Scatter them upon the Antarctic plains.
Here are just a few of many reasons.
(1) CRIMINALIZATION of unlawful presence in the United States: White supremacy writ into law. For past 228 years, simply *being in U.S.* w/o permission was a civil offense w/no consequence other than deportation.
(NB: This was quickly rejected in 2005, but much more likely now)

(2) ONE HUNDRED THIRTY BILLION UNITED STATES TAXPAYER DOLLARS to fully militarize the Mexican border.
Even @Heritage, which otherwise mostly likes the bill, balked at this as "hard to justify." You don't say.

Trump is thinking about constructing a prison camp to hold 5000 children separated from their parents under Trump’s orders.

“Cruelty is both the means and the end. It’s the thread that runs through ICE’s strategy of instilling terror in immigrant communities, Department of Homeland Security’s restrictive approach to refugees and asylum-seekers, the White House’s decision to…”
“Cruelty is [Trump’s reason behind] the White House’s decision to rescind temporary protected status for hundreds of thousands of settled immigrants, Sessions’s decision to reopen 350,000 cases for potential deportation, and much more.” #AbolishICE
You sure about that @MichaelAvenatti “no pending disciplinary proceedings against you” did @StateBarCA not receive a complaint about you? Is your former law partner Jason Frank not suing you? Unpaid taxes ring a bell or maybe #TullysCoffee ? Judge Wood must be smarter than this?
Apparently we will know soon.
Whoops! @MichaelAvenatti 100% lied to the State of New York there is in fact a complaint under review. Are attorneys allowed to file false statements🤷🏼♀️ @NewYorkStateAG @TheJusticeDept

This wouldn't happen to deal with Kushner and Flynn meeting with Russian Ambassador Kislyak at Trump Tower in Dec. 2016, would it?
2. In case people forgot about Kushner And Flynn meeting with Kislyak in Dec. 2016, see here. And this was BEFORE Obama imposed sanctions on Russia on Dec. 29 and Flynn called Kislyak to reassure him. So... an interesting date.
3. NYT story on meeting in Dec. between Flynn, Kushner and Kislyak. This was CONFIRMED by Hope Hicks.

OFFICIAL POLICY HAS LOST OVER 1500 CHILDREN.

Let's start here: Dan Rather does a good job summarizing the Sinclair propaganda facet of Trump's authoritarian regime.
Rump's authoritarian behavior includes subverting democracy, failure to be transparent, failure to be accountable, nepotism, cronyism, and many dimensions of financial corruption.
Trump's authoritarianism includes thwarting the will of congress, obstructing the protection of the environment, and putting property & people & planet at unprecedented risk.

‘None of this means that either the Prague or prostitutes allegation is true. But why can’t Cohen and Trump get their respective stories straight?’ motherjones.com/politics/2018/…
‘Cohen’s abandonment of this action means that the legal teams for Fusion GPS and BuzzFeed will no longer have the opportunity in the discovery phase to demand information from Cohen regarding his whereabouts and contacts during the 2016 campaign’, writes @DavidCornDC.

Trump Lawyer Cohen Finds Finances Taken Apart by Prosecutors. bloomberg.com/politics/artic…
Cohen’s in-laws from Ukraine, purchased 3 Trump apartments from 2003-2005, for nearly $8 million. His personal wealth has taken a drop in recent years, due to millions in taxi medallions, which have lost value. The medallions have been refinanced, and loan due to bank in 2019.
