My gift to you:

Regarding the existence/non-existence of proof of collusion, it's a narrative that suits Trump and his camp.

The problem is that GOP will probably only do anything with a smoking bazooka.

Like with Sessions. I'm baffled that he wasn't charged during that hearing with contempt. I wonder if he'll ever be. Policy or not.

Urgh, that video about Ivanka and Jared threw up (most appropriate choice of words I think) this clip. Wtf is wrong with him

Factories Won’t Bring Back the American Dream
The U.S. is already a manufacturing powerhouse, no matter what the president says.

It's fasinating, NorthWest.

Clinging to a particular vision of productivity and work (usually also a very 'muscular' version--coal, steel, making big stuff) when the reality is so very different.

*fascinating

43 people have just died here in Portugal on a forest fire, trapped on a road. The huge fire is probably a direct consequence of the heat wave we're going through, with thunder storms, temperatures in the 40s and very dry weather for months.

I don't expect a message from His Presidency, particularly as it may relate to, ahem, global warming. :(

Oh, it's 57 now. :(

Fire and water - the strongest forces in nature I always think. And I also believe the effects are exacerbated by global warming.

We had a heatwave like this last year and they're likely to happen more frequently.
It used to be one or two days, it's full weeks now.
It only makes me think worse and worse of climate change deniers.

He's awake

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
The MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN agenda is doing very well despite
the distraction of the Witch Hunt. Many new jobs, high business enthusiasm,..
...massive regulation cuts, 36 new legislative bills signed, great new S.C.Justice, and Infrastructure, Healthcare and Tax Cuts in works!

lweji it's awful. Those poor, poor people

Lweji I heard on the news this morning

I spent a very happy 10 days in Portugal many years ago and it's a beautiful place

Someone please hack his Twitter account and change the password and recovery address! I'd volunteer, but I'm currently stuck at an airport with my laptop somewhere in transit.

Does that man have ANY self-awareness at all?

The new Rasmussen Poll, one of the most accurate in the 2016 Election, just out with a Trump 50% Approval Rating.That's higher than O's #'s!

Congratulations on a marginally better but still dismal approval rating, I suppose? Rasmussen isn't considered that good, by the way!

I'm really quite thankful Twitter wasn't around when he was still actually building stuff, though. The Freudian phallic metaphors describing his greatest towers ever would have killed me.

Ah Yes. 'Is it better in some way than You Know Who?' He's really frightened by him.

Awful news about the forest fires.

At least 62 dead including four children. Most died in their cars while trying to flee, it seems.

Trump atty. Jay Sekulow on #MTP: "The president is not under investigation by the special counsel." Says tweet was in response to WaPo story

Kailani Koenig @kailanikm
"He's responding to what he's seeing in the media in a way in which he thinks is appropriate to talk to those people that put him in office"

An interesting piece by Lawrence O'Donnell which touches upon Kamala Harris.
