 does a case of the Mondays contain 144 viral mutations

On the more serious side:

I’ve realized many have the incorrect mental model of the immune system: we conceive of it as a protective wall with a fixed height, and assume that vaccine efficacy represents that height. Wrong. I wrote a post explaining what trials do and don’t measure. https://t.co/m2D5sInuoz pic.twitter.com/zXKrWKUSLA

Does the increase in “eroders” signify a lack of investment opportunity or does it signify a focus on boosting stock price? https://t.co/ZZqpZsh1H6

I always thought a good analogy was “if you lower corporate taxes, it would be unfair to corporations who already paid taxes.” But this works too. https://t.co/32iNJ0uH4g

Important piece by @sidney_b about something we’ve all sensed: Being anti-media “has become a point of political identity among Republicans.”

Political scientist Taeku Lee says signaling media distrust is “much the same as wearing a red MAGA cap.” https://t.co/8HhBPUuYER

I’ve had my QAnon videos deleted from my youtube channel for just reporting on them. They’d been up for a year. I’ve had a channel for 14 years. One thing nobody’s talking about a guy at a Milwaukee Trump rally told me he got into Q through Guccifer 2.0 it’s a disinformation op

Ivanka Trump’s flagship policy project from her time in the Trump White House has been found by the GAO to have failed to properly target the very poor and women-owned businesses it intended to benefit. https://t.co/3flJQxbCI3

In May, 2015, the Trump Org was informed that it’s deal in Azerbaijan was likely part of a money-laundering operation run by Iran’s IRGC and, specifically, the part of the IRGC that seeks WMD.

Trump’s top lawyer acknowledged they learned this by 2015.

Though reporting suggests they knew, or should have, as early as 2011.

Ivanka ran the project.

They continued the project through the entire Presidential campaign and only canceled it in Dec., 2016.
2/

The Trump Org had the legal right to view the books of the entity they partnered with–ZQAN–and could have unlocked a scheme to kill Americans.

They did nothing. (Other than accept $ 5M in payment from the scheme).
3/

When I reported this in March, 2017, the Trump Org acknowledged it was all true.

4/

- They key Iranian partners in the scheme, the Darvishi brothers, were (and remain) loyal to Mohamed Bagher ghalibaf, who ran WMD-acquisition efforts for missile systems, among many other dangerous acts:
ifmat.org/connected-enti…
6/
- Trump Org was not a bystander.

- Ivanka Trump asked the Mammadovs to clear adjacent land–filled with the homes of working people–to create a park.

- Anar Mammadov came to America in 2010 to buy respectability for his family.
7/

- He got nowhere, because he was comically corrupt and a fool. He spent millions seeking American partners to make his business seem respectable.

- He got nowhere. Except for Trump. Trump was the one businessman who agreed to work with him.
8/

- The central challenge of an IRGC-money laundering scheme is to make it appear like it’s NOT an IRGC-money laundering scheme. That was the service Trump org provided: a big, shiny gold name on a nakedly corrupt project.
9/

- This was a central business model for the Trump Org.

- Consider his deals with Hary Tanoe, Silk Road Group, and in Panama, Vancouver, Toronto, etc.

- They make no sense as real estate deals. But they make a lot of sense as $ -laundering schemes.
10/

- It seems clear that working with the worst was not accidental or because of sloppy oversight.

- The worst, least deal-with-able corrupt crooks are the ones willing to pay the most and to demand the least in actual services.
11/

- The basic economics of the Trump Org make no sense otherwise.

- Companies don’t flit from outerboro housing to lux hotels, to airlines and casinos, to TV and intl brands.

- The core staff of Trump Org remained in place with all these shifts.
12/

- They were expert at *something* even if that thing wasn’t the front business.

- In short, the Afghan bounty story is the opposite of an outlier. It’s the core story of Trump’s career.

- In economic terms, he sells a service.
13/

- That service is lending his “brand” to entities that can get no other legitimacy.

- The only puzzle is that it continues to work.

- Crucially: they don’t hide this. They are quite open about it all.
14/

- Just do the slightest bit of digging into what Trump, Jr., and Ivanka have said about their intl deals and the nature of intl law.

- THIS is the Kompromat.

- It’s not that Putin tricked Trump into some weird embarrassing episode.
15/

- It’s that the core business was money-laundering and supporting corruption.

- There are boring legal questions about what laws he did or didn’t break.
16/

- But in the case of Azerbaijan–as, it appears, Afghanistan–there should be no doubt. Trump made money by helping schemers who kill Americans. And he did that knowingly.

That this might not be illegal is a problem for another day. But it’s disqualifying for a President.
