    6 months (182 days) in, Trump hasn't passed a single bill of 10 he promised to pass in his first 100 days. (Republicans control everything).

    OJ Simpson is back in the news, WWE too, and the President appears to be speaking in Mad Libs. Did we hop in a time machine back to the 90s?

    Mueller is now reportedly also investigating the Miss Universe pageant in Moscow.

    Do you think Putin will be going to The Miss Universe Pageant in November in Moscow - if so, will he become my new best friend?

    This is Trump's biggest nightmare & puts his presidency on thin ice. Trump may fire Mueller. Republicans must not accept that if it happens.

    Trump puts Poland, which is sliding away from democracy, on a pedestal as a model for the West. Empowered, they politicize the judiciary.

    Poland's parliament votes for new bill to remove Supreme Court judges & allow themselves to pack the judicial branch

    Trump touching the orb was interpreted as a green light to isolate Qatar → GCC crisis. Presidential signals matter.

    A complete misreading of the recusal & basic ethics. He had to recuse from the investigation of the Trump campaign because he was part of it

    I agree with , his Attorney General should not have recused himself over reported incidental contacts with Russian officials

    Listen: every time Trump world/Russians speak about "adoptions," they are talking about sanctions. It's not benign.

    Trump effectively admitted: 1) he wanted Sessions to quash the Russia investigation; 2) He's seriously considering firing Mueller. Stunning.

    There is no doubt that Trump is a threat to rule of law, freedom of the press, voting rights, basic ethics, and American democracy itself.

    Then yesterday: "the FBI person really reports to the President of the United States" and "Sessions should never have recused himself."

    The Justice Department's investigation into the national security leaks is not independent. This is a very grave situation.

    The President is publicly threatening to obstruct justice if an independent investigation doesn't follow his preferred trajectory. Shocking.

    Trump said Mueller's team "would cross a red line if they delve into Trump family finances unrelated to Russia."

    Trump is right to be worried about Mueller looking into his financial dealings--a lot of shady stuff in that realm:
