A company created 6 weeks before the inauguration by Melania's BFF Stephanie Winston Wolkoff received $26 million from the inaugural committee.

Wolkoff's firm also paid the team used by @MarkBurnettTV, whose involvement was requested by Trump.

Hush money

Not quite the golden showers tape, but close.
"That dog": (the totally not racist or misogynistic) Trump slams Omarosa as she claims he used the N-word haaretz.com/us-news/trump-…
For months, White House officials have refused to confirm reports that aides were ordered to sign nondisclosure agreements, which legal experts say are essentially unenforceable for government employees.

And then Trump just ... tweeted it out. nyti.ms/2MN2bUE
"Contrary to what Trump might think, he lacks any authority to censor the unclassified communications of former federal employees."

Why the White House can’t stop Omarosa Manigault-Newman from talking @BradMossEsq lawfareblog.com/why-white-hous…
.@KenDilanianNBC: "Omarosa tells @KatyTurNBC just now she has talked to Special Counsel Robert Mueller's office, and "there was a lot of corruption," in the campaign and the administration. She says Trump knew about hacked emails before they were released." 🍿
Omarosa claims Trump "absolutely" knew about hacked emails before WikiLeaks released them, and says campaign officials were instructed to bring up the emails at every chance at the end of the 2016 campaign thehill.com/policy/cyberse…
"Every 10 minutes [with Trump on "The Celebrity Apprentice"] was like fingernails on chalkboard."

Penn Jillette lends support to Omarosa's claims of n-word tapes of Trump, says he heard Trump say 'racially insensitive things' vulture.com/2018/08/penn-j…
"Ivanka would not stop talking about being ribbed. Like her father, Ivanka was thin-skinned and could not seem to take a joke.”

Omarosa claims @IvankaTrump ‘would not stop’ complaining about SNL’s ‘#Complicit’ perfume ad people.com/politics/omaro…
#Omarosa releases secret tape of Lara Trump offering her a $15,000/month campaign job just days after she left the White House, on condition that she sign a NDA (she refused) nbcnews.com/politics/white…
On behalf of the president of the United States, his daughter-in-law offered to bribe an former top White House aide, paid for with donor money – an official hush-money slush fund. (h/t @twschaller)
As @anniekarni noted, "Omarosa’s slow release of secretly taped conversations from inside the Trump campaign and White House is having the same effect on staffers as the daily dumps from WikiLeaks had on Clinton’s campaign."

And she has ~200 of them.

Turkey has concluded that Jamal #Khashoggi, a prominent journalist from Saudi Arabia, was killed in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul earlier this week by a 15-member Saudi team sent “specifically for the murder" washingtonpost.com/world/middle_e…
"#Khashoggi visited the consulate to obtain documents related to his upcoming wedding.

The killing, if confirmed, would mark a stunning escalation of Saudi Arabia’s effort to silence dissent, rounding up clerics, business execs & women’s rights advocates"
"The initial assessment of the Turkish police is that Mr. #Khashoggi has been killed at the consulate of Saudi Arabia in Istanbul. We believe that the murder was premeditated and the body was subsequently moved out of the consulate." reuters.com/article/us-sau…

93% of his records withheld from the American people

43 witnesses barred from corroborating Ford's account & proving he perjured himself

2,400+ law professors oppose his confirmation, citing his partisan, conspiratorial rant which betrayed a clear "lack of judicial temperament"
Any one of these would be disqualifying for a Supreme Court nominee.

Taken together, they are evidence that Kavanaugh is unfit to serve on ANY bench.

“We cannot continue to make people keep suffering in pain over and over and over again for a debt that’s already been paid.” 

Excellent #longread on the people behind Florida's #RestoreTheVote campaign, inc a GOP lobbyist convicted in the Abramoff scandal
nyti.ms/2NE9hPY
"A report by Washington Economics Group, whose clients include businesses like Nascar, projected that automatic restoration of voting rights would lead to $365 million/year in gains for Florida's economy, from lower prison costs and increased productivity"
Amazing statistic: the recidivism rate for people who had their voting rights automatically restored under Gov. Crist is 12.4%, vs a state average of 30%.

Also noteworthy: Charles and David Koch's network has declared support for Amendment 4.

You thought the world was laughing at him yesterday - they are in absolute stitches at today's epic embarrassment.

Trump addresses a Kurdish reporter as "Mr. Kurd" #25thAmendmentNow
Trump says he rejected a one-on-one meeting with Justin Trudeau at the #UNGA, threatens tariffs on Canada auto exports: "We're going to tax the cars coming in, and we'll put billions and billions into our treasury .. Canada has treated us very badly"
Aside from his economic illiteracy (Americans pay the tariff, not foreign exporters), his personal animus towards Trudeau and Canada – neighbors, close allies, brothers and sisters – is senseless and destructive.
