“It has taken me a long time to understand that the expansion in the use of [tax havens] has a link to decolonization. It is a modern form of colonialism.” -@EvaJoly
Bit on how U.S. firms helped flip Panama into the tax haven it eventually became:
The reason Delaware leapfrogged New Jersey to become the top tax haven in the U.S.: Woodrow Wilson.

NEW: Maria Butina's lawyer appeared multiple times on Fox News to discuss the Mueller investigation—and didn't once disclose that he'd repped a client before Mueller's office. thinkprogress.org/maria-butinas-…
Butina's lawyer was caught out a few weeks ago for appearing on Fox News to discuss Russia multiple times without disclosing his work on behalf of Butina: thinkprogress.org/maria-butinas-…
His defense was that the Butina and Mueller investigations aren't related, ipso facto there was no need to disclose.

But then we learned that he'd actually repped a client in front of Mueller's office itself—a fact that was never disclosed in any of his Fox News appearances.

New leaked chats reveal how a Texas militia planned to assault Islamic convention participants in Houston earlier this month: thinkprogress.org/heres-how-a-te…
The Texas Patriot Network isn't as prominent as some other Texas-based militias, but the rhetoric's all the same: anti-Islam bigotry, support for Texas secessionists, marching with white supremacists, etc.
The chats were unearthed by @IGD_News, and put paid to these goons' claims that they were just there to spread "the love of our lord, Jesus Christ."

After spending a week in Moldova at the World Congress of Families conference, one question: Is America’s Religious Right turning its back on Russia? thinkprogress.org/america-religi…
It wouldn't necessarily be surprising: the U.S. Religious Right had a far easier time building ties in Russia under the Obama administration.

But with the Trump admin now responsible for sanctions? For expanding NATO? Not so much. thinkprogress.org/america-religi…
But WCF head Brian Brown hasn't given up the dream of building up American Religious Right ties in Russia. He's doing all he can to build bridges between America's social conservatives and Moscow—and is willing to do whatever it takes. thinkprogress.org/america-religi…

Good morning! The Trump administration's latest hire is a lobbyist for pro-Russian separatists in the Balkans. thinkprogress.org/lobbyist-rubin…
HHS hired Mike Rubino as a "senior adviser." Rubino's still listed as working as a lobbyist for Bosnia's SNSD party, which is pushing for breaking up Bosnia wholesale—and whose leadership is sanctioned by the U.S. thinkprogress.org/lobbyist-rubin…
I asked @JasminMuj about Rubino's hiring. His response: 'It only makes sense if there is a lack of coherent U.S. foreign policy and/or if part of the foreign policy apparatus is being monetized for these Second-World kleptocrats.' thinkprogress.org/lobbyist-rubin…
