Giuliani’s CNN hit recalled one of the more memorable moments in television history. In 1977, David Frost pressed Nixon on why he authorized burglaries, wiretapping and other illegal actions. “Well, when the president does it, that means that it is not illegal,” Nixon answered. — PolitiTweet.org

Some birds are pollinators. Some are predators, and some are prey. Birds save conifer farms in the Pacific Northwest many hundreds of dollars per hectare by eating harmful insects and help Jamaican coffee farmers reduce the use of pesticides. All are integral to the ecosystem. — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Some birds are “seed dispersers”—they eat seeds from tree fruits & then spread them across wide areas through defecation, helping create new trees; when they’re not around, “seed predators,” like rodents, consume seeds from fallen fruits but crack them open & make them infertile. — PolitiTweet.org

Birds are so so so so so so important to our ecosystem. As Mufasa puts it in "The Lion King" to Simba: "When we die, our bodies become the grass, and the antelope eat the grass. And so we are all connected in the great Circle of Life." https://t.co/cL8Kn6DzLk — PolitiTweet.org

A chilling reminder of why we cannot take our birds for granted: Passenger pigeons were once so abundant that their massive flocks darkened U.S. skies. They were driven to extinction in just a few decades! https://t.co/cL8Kn6DzLk — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Birds, because they are so well-monitored, should be viewed as canaries in coal mines — harbingers of a wider environmental malaise at a time when other creatures, including insects, are also thought to be fading but are more challenging to count. https://t.co/cL8Kn6DzLk — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

The continent has lost nearly 3 billion birds representing hundreds of species over the past five decades. A new study concludes there are 29% fewer birds in the United States and Canada today than in 1970. https://t.co/cL8Kn6DzLk — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Slowly, steadily and almost imperceptibly, North America’s bird population is dwindling. The sparrows and finches that visit backyard feeders number fewer each year. The flutelike song of the western meadowlark — the official bird of six U.S. states — is growing more rare. — PolitiTweet.org

The White House's 28-word readout of Trump's July 31 call with Putin came only hours after the Russians disclosed it. The Russian readout was 149-word and went much further. Why? https://t.co/Uy58euL1Ml — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Trump has gone to extraordinary lengths to conceal details of his conversations with Putin, including on at least one occasion taking possession of the notes of his own interpreter & instructing the linguist not to discuss what had transpired with other administration officials. — PolitiTweet.org

In May 2017, Trump revealed classified information about espionage operations in Syria to senior Russian officials in the Oval Office. https://t.co/M7GsqWt2yI — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

In March 2018, Trump ignored specific warnings from his national security advisers when he congratulated Putin on his reelection. “DO NOT CONGRATULATE,” his briefing materials stated. Experts said Putin only got 76 percent of the vote because it was a rigged election. — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

If the whistleblower complaint turns out to be about something Trump said to Putin, it's not be the first time this president’s interactions with one of the United States’ biggest geopolitical rivals have caused heartburn for intelligence professionals. https://t.co/Uy58euL1Ml — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

After Trump initiated a call with Putin on July 31, the American people only found out when the Russians posted about it on Twitter & Facebook. It's one of at least five convos Trump had with a foreign leader in the 5 weeks before whistleblower complaint: https://t.co/Uy58euL1Ml — PolitiTweet.org
