    The first time President Obama met with his US Attorneys, he told us, “I appointed you but you don’t serve me. You serve the American people. And I expect you to act with independence & integrity.” None of us ever forgot that.

  2. No federal employee, absolutely no one, wants a wall more than they want to feed their kids & pay their rent. He just makes this stuff up.

  3. Looking forward to joining , as we ponder yesterday's episode of Drunk History on Russia & Afghanistan, courtesy of President Trump during his Cabinet meeting, & whether that might interest the Special Counsel.

  4. Let’s keep calling it Obamacare. That’s who gave this country its best first step towards comprehensive medical coverage. We should keep reminding people of that & making sure they know who wants to take it away from them & their families.

    Once a case is indicted (here), to continue in front of a grand jury either means adding new charges against existing defendants (doubtful here) or adding defendants to existing charges. Like, say,...Americans who conspired with them.

  8. If you believe in the principle of one-man-one-vote, Citizens United is a tough sell. If you don’t believe in that principle, any claim you have to supporting the Constitution is really just hogwash. You’re only interested in your own power & money.

  9. As my husband likes to tell our kids when they are faced with a seemingly impossible task, how do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.

  10. Another reminder Trump is holding government employees’ livelihoods hostage to a wall that will no more curb the illegal immigration he claims is a national crisis than stem the tide of drugs illegally entering the country in cars, trucks, planes, boats, drones etc.

    I wonder who would benefit from sending Butina back home to Russia before she could complete her cooperation and testify in US cases?

    This is a serious matter. If the GOP feels it’s appropriate to have a President campaign at a name-calling, bullying level an elementary school principal would feel compelled to shut down, they should let him keep on. Otherwise, hold him accountable as the leader of your party.

    The construction at the US Capitol is poetic: all the change is happening on the House side.

    August 2016, Trump to black voters: “What do you have to lose?” January 2019: “Trump administration considers rollback of anti-discrimination rules.”
