North Carolina Republicans announced today they’re going to pass a new congressional map to draw a Dem out of Congress; they already did last cycle, going from 7-7 to 10-4. Thus would be 11-3. t.co/XLJIhe8vZn

I'm old enough to remember when it was considered political suicide to criticize the United States while on foreign soil. The number of times Donald has crossed that Rubicon are too many to count.

Oregon and Portland want to take discovery from Trump, over the government's objections.

The WH is laughing at Republicans in Congress, because they know they’re dog walking them.

Trump’s top advisers joke about ruling Congress w/an “iron fist.” Bannon compared the GOP-controlled House to the Russian Duma, a ceremonial rubber stamp.
