“After calling for Hillary Clinton to be jailed, in 2018 Trump signed a law that stiffened the penalty for the unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents from one year to five years, turning it into a felony offense”
Multiple doctors have told me “if you want to know the direction of the coronavirus, watch what the tech companies are doing.” Today we learn Google will keep its employees home until July 2021
Breaking: Google will keep its employees home until July 2021, people familiar with the matter said, making it the first major U.S. corporation to formalize such an extended timetable in the face of the coronavirus pandemic
Twitter corporation, you can stop this. Trump is going to start a war. Twitter is no place to be carrying on diplomacy or making threats. History will record Twitter executives were complicit in encouraging violence. Shut down his account before he destroys this country
These Media Posts will serve as notification to the United States Congress that should Iran strike any U.S. person or target, the United States will quickly & fully strike back, & perhaps in a disproportionate manner. Such legal notice is not required, but is given nevertheless!
Since the late 1970s I have listened to literally hundreds of Joe Biden speeches, most of them in person on the Senate floor.
This was Joe Biden’s best speech ever. Just what Ukraine and the world needed at this point in history.
Why would Alexander Malkevich (left), the editor of one of the Internet Research Agency’s disinformation websites aimed at the United States be meeting Maria Butina with flowers at the Moscow airport? Sure looks like him.
Maria Butina, the first Russian citizen convicted of crimes relating to the 2016 US election, has landed in Moscow a day after she was released from a federal prison in Florida and deported
Putin is losing support among his allies:
“Two until now major pro-Russian voices in the European Union, Czech President Milos Zeman and Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban, didn’t mince their words”
Why? Why would Trump do this? The flag dedicated to prisoners of war and service members missing in action has been removed from the roof of the White House. He has no shame
All evidence will be made public once the three committees complete their investigation and the Judiciary Committee begins consideration of articles of impeachment, including public hearings. It’s going to be a brutal two months for Trump.
What is so different about this impeachment attempt of President Trump that Nancy Pelosi would go to such extreme measures to keep the evidence secret?
Bob Dole said there's no question that Trump lost his reelection race – narrowly but fair and square. Dole described Biden as "a great, kind, upstanding, decent person."
Trump just said he cut off travel from China early. As I tweeted this morning more than 700,000 people flew into the US from China in December, January and February
Video: Biden tells Michigan supporters “I know what America stands for. And I’ll be damned if I’m going to let Donald Trump walk this nation away from it”
2/2. I was under secretary for memorial affairs at VA when I retired from federal service. I have never been more shaken by the comments of an American president. He deserves not one more day in office. And could we hear an apology before he goes?
Brad Parscale, Trump’s campaign manager, was on a trip to Romania, where he outlined a $1 billion dollar strategy to get the U.S. President re-elected in 2020.
Today is Joe Biden’s first full day in the White House. Today, he will focus on Covid-19, and he will take his intelligence briefing. Last night, even though he had a long day and late night, he READ his briefing books. We have a real President again
Donald Trump Jr writes that -- when he saw rows of graves at Arlington Cemetery -- he thought of...himself, and the business deals he had sacrificed.
"About all the sacrifices we’d have to make to help my father succeed."
A Maryland federal judge will hear arguments in a case accusing President Donald Trump of violating the Constitution by accepting payments from foreign and state governments.
I feel much more secure as an American with Biden in the room than I did when Trump was meeting with Putin.
Biden represents the United States. Trump represented… Trump.
Everyone should watch a replay or a podcast of Malcolm’s appearance with on
@thereidout
. It is harrowing and riveting. I salute Malcolm for his courage and his service to democracy. Malcolm knows Putin must be stopped in Ukraine. Putin is at war against democracy everywhere.
Republicans conveniently forget that it was the Trump Administration that cut the deal with the Taliban without including the Afghan government in early 2020 then stripped the American force presence down to 2,500, leaving our troops vulnerable. Where is the outrage about that?
Reps. Norman (R-SC) & Harris (R-MD) introduced 2 articles of impeachment against Sec. of State Blinken, who "failed to faithfully uphold his oath and..presided over a reckless abandonment of our nation’s interests, security & values" in his role in US withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Flanked by AG Barr, Pres says he's planning announcement next week on Federal action to quell violence in cities, citing Seattle, Minneapolis, Chicago. He says some cities "are like war zones," and makes it partisan, saying they're run by "liberal, left-wing Democrats."
BREAKING: Brazil election exit polls suggest leftist former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva may win outright in first round against far-right incumbent Jair Bolsonaro.
Does anyone remember that after Trump lost the election he sent a signed order to the Pentagon telling them to remove all troops from Afghanistan by January 15, 2021? Talk about chaotic and dangerous.
Trump Towers Istanbul. The reason Trump betrayed our allies the Kurds? The Kurds lost 11,000 soldiers fighting ISIS. We lost 17. The Kurds fought ISIS for us. We owe them more than genocide. But Trump Towers Istanbul...
There are early indications from cellphone video a white armed militia member may have been the shooter in the incident that killed 2 protesters and injured a third in Kenosha last night. Why are private armed militia members allowed to be there at all?
The footage the House managers have shown is sickening. Many GOP Senators who will ultimately vote not to convict Trump were making frantic calls to the White House to get him to say something. He didn’t and they will still vote against impeachment. How can they sleep at night?
Fox's Judge Napolitano on Mueller's statement: "The evidence he laid out is remarkably similar to the impeachment charges against Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton"
In the 11 months since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, Republicans have underperformed in federal, judicial, statewide and local elections across the country. - Axios
Donald Trump is more dangerous today than he was yesterday.
He will be more dangerous tomorrow. What is Trump capable of in the next 13 days?
If Pence, the Cabinet, and GOP leaders fail to remove him or force his resignation, they will be responsible for whatever he does.
Pentagon draws up plans for quick Afghanistan withdrawal in case Trump blindsides the military again. Never has the American military been confronted by such an unstable commander-in-chief.
November 22, 1963. John F. Kennedy was assassinated. I was editing the yearbook in high school when the word came in. John Kennedy inspired a generation. He inspired me. “Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.” Over to you Donald Trump.
Mark is just dead wrong. The commander’s first responsibility is to his crew. If the crew is not ready, the ship is not ready. He took the right action to protect his ship and maintain readiness. If Mark cannot see that, he is in the wrong job
Pressed on whether it was appropriate to fire Navy ship captain over leaked letter, Sec. of Defense Mark Esper tells
@gstephanopoulos
he supports the decision: "It's an issue of trust and confidence in the captain of the ship."
I was honored to serve as acting secretary of the Army for six months in 1998. Whenever our soldiers were called to deployments, I would see them off, look them in the eyes and shake their hands. When they had all boarded the plane I would wish them Godspeed... 1/3
I just heard Trump complaining about his trip to West Point. Having to salute 600 times. Standing in the sun for 3 hours. And walking down a steep slick ramp. He is such an embarrassment to our country.
Trump says he’s ‘always’ taken the coronavirus pandemic seriously. He hasn't. And he can’t get away by lying about it. We all know what he has said for 2 months
Americans should ponder this: We have 4.4% of the world’s population. But, so far, we have 24% of the world’s coronavirus cases; 11% of the world’s coronavirus deaths. And this crisis is only beginning in the US. Why is this happening in the most developed nation in the world?
A 41-year old Broadway star with no underlying conditions died this weekend after a 90-day fight with the ravages of coronavirus. When will the president and his echo chamber quit lying?
On Pres Trump saying 99% of Coronavirus cases "are totally harmless," WH Chief of Staff Mark Meadows says except for the elderly with underlying conditions, "the risks are very low." On
@FoxNews
, he said "the vast majority of people are safe."
CNN reporting Iran says response will be against US military sites. And they want it to end there with no additional attacks. But if Trump attacks cultural sites, as he has threatened, then “all gloves will be taken off”
If there is violence during the Richmond protest, Trump must share the blame. The FBI is already making arrests. Trump’s comments in the context of the moment are more than inflammatory. There are a green light for the violent radical right.
Your 2nd Amendment is under very serious attack in the Great Commonwealth of Virginia. That’s what happens when you vote for Democrats, they will take your guns away. Republicans will win Virginia in 2020. Thank you Dems!
President Trump: An impeachment inquiry should "never be allowed to happen again". Someone tell Trump impeachment is in the Constitution of the United States
Be sure to watch Dr. Rick Bright’s interview tomorrow on “60 Minutes.” Then he will testify next week before Congress. He is not a disgruntled government employee. He is a scientist who knows what he talks about. We should all listen.
The danger of a president making up fake “cures” for coronavirus cannot be overstated. How many of his cult may now try to inject themselves with disinfectant?
Time to pay attention to this: “The Select Committee also has a good-faith basis for concluding that the President and members of his Campaign engaged in a criminal conspiracy to defraud the United States”
As Trump acquitted by Senate, far-right extremists are already calling for violence against "traitor" Republicans and Democrats who voted to convict, saying some "should be tried for treason and subsequently hanged publicly." This is the legacy of the Trump era.
The story of the supply-chain group, a power center within the larger task force run by VP Pence, is one of chaos, secrecy and ineptitude, some officials say.
Judge: If Trump shot someone on 5th Ave., "local authorities couldn’t investigate? They couldn’t do anything about it? ...”
Trump lawyer: "No."
Judge: "Nothing could be done?...”
Trump lawyer: “That is correct. That is correct.”
Biden’s approval ratings are about to soar as Democrats lock in infrastructure and social spending legislation next week. I spent 25 years on the Hill working on legislative deals. People have been too impatient lately. This is how the system works. In the end, Americans win.
Analysis: President Biden’s approval ratings have sunk into the low-to-mid 40s, putting him into rather lonely historical company. In the era of modern polling, only Donald Trump had a lower approval rating at this early stage of his term.
Take heed, my fellow Americans. What is happening in Israel can happen here if we are not careful. Bibi and Trump are made from the same cloth. Both have sold their souls to a fascist extreme right determined to remake their countries. Both need the extremists to take/seize power
