All eyes on Virginia as the FBI investigates threats from violent groups and white nationalists ahead of a pro-gun rally. In the year 2020, police continue to unearth credible threats of violence in America from individuals seeking a race war in pursuit of a white ethno-state. pic.twitter.com/0FjfKwS6fz

Along with gun-rights activists, today's rally in Virginia is also expected to attract white supremacists, members of antigovernment militias and other extremists. For the latest on-the-ground reports, follow @stavernise and @KannoYoungs in Richmond.https://t.co/eKshXkEG5B

State of emergency declared in Virginia as right-wing gun fanatics and white supremacists descend on Richmond.

While the Trump administration is preoccupied with building walls and imposing bans, the real threats are right here, emboldened and unchecked.https://t.co/dZaV44zus2

Trump whipping up deadly Nazis with fear of any form of gun control. I hope no one gets killed Monday.

Dershowitz said opposite of what he says today an impeachment:

“Doesn’t have to be a crime if you have somebody who completely corrupts the office … and who abuses trust and who poses great danger to our liberty, you don't need a technical crime." https://t.co/7eVYkUPvLn

Trump’s greatest ally in the coming election? Facebook | In October last year, Trump’s Org released ad falsely stating that Biden had offered Ukraine $1bn if they dropped investigation into Burisma. CNN refused to air it; Facebook ran the ad, no problem! https://t.co/jF1Cw0sjI5

Noon today marks the start of Pres Trump's 4th year as president, a day before the start of an impeachment trial he hopes doesn't cut it short. He leaves the country this evening to attend the @wef in Davos, CH. By my count, his 18th foreign trip as Pres. # of days abroad: 79.

As my 2020 Davos journey unfolds before me I’m thinking less about blockchain and more about blockchange. We need to iterate on populism. Can microfinance drive passive income to make the impoverished stakeholders? This is what I am passionate about. #wef2020 pic.twitter.com/ioiIqcmQB4

As usual, since trump policy is solely reactive and without long term thinking of any kind, the results are the opposite of what the US wants. Trump has empowered hard liners in Iran and made them a stronger regional power. America will suffer the long term consequences. https://t.co/EfIrFViWB1

The £106bn new possible estimated cost of HS2 is more than the entire increased infrastructure spend available to the government in the lifetime of this parliament. It is a quite astonishing sum of money. Value for money?

— Robert Peston (@Peston) January 20, 2020

The consensus amongst senior Tories: east-west rail should go ahead (£15bn if needs be) but HS2 is an indefensible waste of money in its current form. Decision expected next month. Details in my Telegraph column: https://t.co/gEj9rGc2wV

Any form of #Brexit will harm our economy which is why Javid campaigned for remain, but his non-alignment plan is one of the most harmful as British biz knows. Hard Brexit & yet more dithering about #HS2 will stifle growth, jobs & much needed inward investment. https://t.co/khJ7wEvkFL
