There is absolutely zero chance that a man who took $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from an FBI agent on camera would have been appointed to any position by any other president.

Trump just installed Michael Ellis as CIA general counsel, possibly to green light legally dubious CIA ops to do this as an end run around congress.

Kelly: I really worry about those aviators, drone operators, special forces guys that are in the Caribbean right now striking these boats and whether or not this is legal..

There’s no authorization for the use of military force. The Congress has not given that to the president. He hasn’t asked.

ICE in Chicago detained two people (that we know of) for filming them today, a cyclist and a neighborhood rapid responder. This in addition to tear gassing another neighborhood and brandishing weapons at rapid response—both things that have also already been going on for weeks.

The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants.

Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.

WSJ: “Inside the White House, top advisers joke that they are ruling Congress with an ‘iron fist’, according to people who have heard the comments.

Steve Bannon, the influential Trump ally, likened Congress to the Duma, the Russian assembly that is largely ceremonial.”

Are House Republicans going to finally show up to work this week or is their extended vacation going to continue? Many Americans take a week or two vacation if they are lucky during summers. House Republicans take the entire Fall off, after lengthy breaks in Spring and Summer.

It’s time to close the library loophole — and you can help.
