As I tell @JRubinBlogger here, @SpeakerPelosi “smartly avoids conceding” any prior infirmity (Judge Howell held there was none) while setting the stage for prompt public hearings without “further judicial jockeying”https://t.co/9YpfvIWzD4

In 2016, the Reagan Library hosted a GOP primary debate—in which Republicans questioned if climate change even existed.
Now, the library is threatened by wildfires more intense than ever before, due to climate change. https://t.co/9guO1gftuS

Twitter has decided to prohibit all political advertising from its platform — a move that ramps up pressure on Mark Zuckerberg following his decision to allow all adverts paid for by politicians to appear on Facebook, even if they are misleading. https://t.co/jPywx0nKS0

Twitter’s new ban on political ads is a silent challenge to Facebook. https://t.co/FXWmUYixdd
— Vox (@voxdotcom) October 30, 2019
Mark Zuckerberg has said he doesn't want the responsibility of blocking false political ads. If that's really the case, and not a desperate attempt to placate the far-right, Facebook should follow Twitter's lead and stop running political ads on its site altogether.

I love the fact that Britain’s gutter press are prepared to Commission their own opinion polls that tell them what they want to hear and allow them to start the election campaign in the manner they intend to go with, I.e by telling serial lies to their readers, day after day. pic.twitter.com/CVfqzT3X2D

Nigel Farage is working with #BorisJohnson that's because the Tory party is UKIP/Brexit Party and the party of Bentham and Burke is now the party of Bannon. This the greatest fight since 1939 that we have faced…we cannot lose. No Passaran! pic.twitter.com/SwhYWseJTp

Dear Labour,
You cannot expect to win an overall majority without forming an election pact with the Lib Dems (one candidate per seat in marginal seats).
Want to get the Tories out of office? Be ruthless and opportunistic rather than stubborn and tribal.

Brexit is a fraud on the people. Always was. Always will be. No benefit to Brexit – just a diminution in people's rights and freedoms and a poorer, less safe country. #ditchBrexit
