Ha! Non-Trump related but made me smile (and we all need more of that round this way I think)

With Irma and Harvey devastation, Tax Cuts and Tax Reform is needed more than ever before. Go Congress, go!

He's trying to segue into 'political' tweets. (Hurricanes being about people. Other people.)

Keep posting Pain.

Remember also the lurkers who use the thread to catch up and for the different sources or those who don't use twitter.

It is that time of year for me too with work beckoning (hence the multi-tasking fail).

There must be a lot of argy-bargy going on behind the scenes.

Hope Mueller holds all the trump cards.

Out of interest, has anyone seen 45's million dollar cheque for hurricane relief yet?

Don't think it's been forthcoming cozie

Trump administration orders purge of Kaspersky products from U.S. government

Interesting. It seems clear, though, that there's much extrapolation going on here and that Mueller's current people aren't leaking. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

I'm very glad he is running such a tight ship.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders says she thinks James Comey broke the law by violating the Privacy Act

@Susan_Hennessey
It's hard to overstate how egregious Sanders' conduct is here. It's an outright assault on an independent DOJ. (Not to mention incorrect).

Yes, she tried to fudge it with that 'look at' phrasing but her general demeanor is so belligerent, she can't really pull it off.

She's not happy in her work. It's showing.

WSJ also picking up on the Flynn nuclear dealings.
