    1. There won't be a Trump trial while he's in office because Mueller is bound by DOJ precedent. 2. The best way to ensure that we learn what Mueller discovers is to elect a Congress that is willing to subpoena all of his reports. A wordier version 👇

  3. Deleted this tweet because convinced me that Trump actually called McCarthy “Leader” not “Peter.” He did call him Steve, though!

  5. When Trump dishonors *his* family by cheating on his wife right after she gave birth to their son, he’s enough of a gentleman not to do it in their presence.

    Given the Webb-for-SecDef news, here's a trip down memory lane: In 2015, Jim Webb rightly blasted then-candidate Trump for his attacks on Mexican-Americans, John McCain, and more.

    Giuliani says Mueller will seek vengeance against Trump by going after him for unpaid tickets. Funny how Mayor Giuliani’s administration did EXACTLY THAT to a critic and cost the city $290,000 in a lawsuit.

    Ronald Reagan: "As long as the Soviet Union occupies Afghanistan in defiance of the international community, the heroic Afghan resistance will continue and the United States will support the cause of a free Afghanistan." Donald Trump: "They were right to be there."

    Romney may have been the only GOP politico to mark the Charlottesville anniversary by criticizing Trump — and surely the only one to do so while defending Black Lives Matter.

    The key question isn’t whether Romney will back up his words with action — it’s how many other GOP senators, most of whom share these views but have been too scared to say so, will back up his words with their own. If a dozen start talking like this, it’s a whole new ballgame.

    Funny how this administration becomes eager to enforce ethics rules when the result is to strip followers from a high-profile potential critic

    1) If you're looking back at 2018 today and feeling bad about the things you failed at, the things that didn't go as well as you'd hoped they would, at the ways in which you let yourself, your dreams, your ideals down, know this: you are not alone. And you are not defeated.
