Tucker Carlson's Fox News show has reportedly been hemorrhaging advertisers since he said that immigration makes the U.S. "poorer and dirtier and more divided," The Daily Beast reports. https://t.co/cURgX6j3EG

Carlson has the right to demonize migrants – and advertisers have the right to not want to associate their products with his poison. He will be fine financially – big money in hate these days. He beats Hannity sometimes thanks to his ratcheting up the rancor https://t.co/HUzBpL2qjU

After saying that immigrants are making the country “dirtier"—and after losing advertisers—Tucker Carlson doubles down on his comments: “The truth is unregulated mass immigration has badly hurt this country's natural landscape.” https://t.co/8YrfuVIzFz

And people ask me why I’m mad all the time. Please spare me the “this is not America” BS. As bigot Tucker Carlson rages against immigrants, and the President’s bigotry is constantly in view—there are real people injured by this hateful rhetoric. https://t.co/Xd8TwsTUZf

Dear Tucker Carlson (@TuckerCarlson): I'm an immigrant. Irish Spring soap cleans my skin the same way it cleans your skin. My parents were poor. They worked hard and started a successful business. Now their son is in Congress.

So take your hatred of immigrants and shove it. https://t.co/I2cOv4nlLi

Good riddance to the phony Trump Foundation

Trump used it like a piggy bank.

It’s another Trump Crime Family scam like Trump University.

This is an important victory for the rule of law. There is one set of rules for everyone.

We’ll continue to move our suit forward to ensure that the Trump Foundation and its directors are held accountable for their clear and repeated violations of state and federal law.

Shut down due to illegal activity:

1. Trump University
2. Trump Foundation

Under criminal investigation:

1. Trump campaign
2. Trump transition
3. Trump inauguration
4. Trump administration
5. Trump Organization

Another mystery we still haven't solved! I don't know where the missing Tim Tebow helmet is. @realDonaldTrump bought it with $12,000 in charity money, at the height of Tebow's career w/the Broncos. https://t.co/racBGO0CTG

Trump paid $42K for them, using foundation $.
Now says they're worth $975 combined.https://t.co/eL3sirHwYS

— David Fahrenthold (@Fahrenthold) December 18, 2018

The motives of many Trump Fdn donors are still a mystery. Of those we know, lots were Trump appearance fees that were paid to the foundation instead of directly to Trump. It was win-win: Trump avoided income tax on the $$ and the "donor" got a deduction. https://t.co/Mml4jN8gS3

This isn’t voluntary. It’s Trump shutting down foundation because it is squarely in the dangerous crosshairs of NY Atty General investigation.

What I don't understand is *why* Flynn's team tried to falsely suggest wrongdoing where none existed. They had to know that deception was going nowhere with the judge. Perhaps Flynn wanted to set up his post-conviction speaking tour or political career. https://t.co/GtOJiTGz0Q

Judge Emmett Sullivan said he would not hide his “disdain” and “disgust” of Flynn’s crimes and criticized the former national security adviser’s lawyer’s attempts to construe that the FBI had engaged in entrapment, writes @natashabertrand. https://t.co/1tfC263thu

— The Atlantic (@TheAtlantic) December 18, 2018

And I would add that hearsay is not allowed in court so the FBI needs witnesses to testify to relevant facts, because agents cannot. So even if they know the answer, they still need to admit the answer in court. https://t.co/ATXiDp7v0Y

A remarkable turn within days: from Flynn lawyers claiming entrapment, to Flynn and lawyers admitting he repeatedly & willfully lied, to lawyers clearly concerned he may be facing jail time and asking for delay.

Why does anyone listen to Sarah Sanders?

Her boss lies.

She lies to promote his lies. Her rare press briefings are worthless. Today, she took the side of a criminal instead of the side of law enforcement.

“No,” Sarah Sanders says when asked if she would amend her statement that Flynn was “ambushed” by the FBI, even though Flynn and his attorneys said in court today he was not entrapped in his interview when he lied to the FBI and was aware he lied

It is so damn galling to hear the WH press secretary attacking the FBI for doing its job and catching a criminal in the act rather than being mad at the criminal who lied not just to the FBI, but supposedly also to people in the WH.

Sarah Sanders said it's "perfectly acceptable" for the president to make positive comments about someone who has admitted to lying to agents of his own government and who worked, unregistered, on behalf of another government during his campaign.

Sarah Huckaby Sanders saying the FBI “ambushed” Mike Flynn is the most pathetic, disingenuous thing I’ve heard her say, and that takes in an awful lot.

Sanders said today the WH is not looking for the taxpayers to pay for the wall while at the same time said the WH is looking to other agencies to find wall funding. Is @presssec aware that agencies of the federal government are funded by taxpayers?

The catch-22: Sarah Sanders/White House says they need a government bill to consider signing and are disappointed they don't have one. Senate and House folks say they aren't sure what the president will support.
