I was already prepared to ditch the thing, just trying to figure out how to make the transition re: family members. Reading “Mindf*ck: Cambridge Analytica and the Plot to Break America” made up my mind everyone needs to get the hell off:

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has been hosting off-the-record gatherings with conservative journalists, commentators and at least one Republican lawmaker to discuss free speech and partnerships https://t.co/WOk88bNzJY

One way to look at this is Facebook trying to appease bad faith critics, another is Facebook deciding like oil companies, drug companies and Wall street that its the Republicans who are their most likely allies in Washington going forward. https://t.co/V4Tgd8UIFk

Weird how we never hear stories about Facebook or Twitter having secret dinners with progressives to address concerns about their platforms but when they get busted meeting with white nationalists the excuse is always some smug version of “I talk to both sides you should try it.”

These are Russians with a supposed connection to Russian intelligence. Russia has an interest in making Graham look bad given his break from Trump on Syria. What other dirt do they have on Graham and others? What role does the media have in promoting it? https://t.co/L8Y18OCsZi

How do you give bail to two guys who were caught with one-way tickets to another country?

BREAKING: A judge has approved a bail package for Parnas and Fruman, they'll be released once conditions are met:
– $1M bond each
– Home detention + GPS/location monitoring
– 3rd party custodian responsible
– Can only travel to SDNY and SDFL, and must get approval first

These guys were already under investigation when Barr came on, and they were arrested last night attempting to, as they say, “flee the country.” They were also supposed to testify about the Ukraine deal before the House committee.

But wait, there’s more!

And Trump ACTUALLY HAD THEM TO THE WHITE HOUSE FOR DINNER!

There is also a “Congressman 1” in the indictment that is rumored to be Peter Sessions. Stay tuned!
