We rushed out of the last thread without even a pocket handkerchief: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/a3124599-Trump-2018-Resistance-is-Never-Futile

So here's a new one, with its own

I am the very model of a Very Stable Genius.
I have a mighty button and no problems with my penius.
I have no time for television, golf or social media
Since my brain is way way better than the best encyclopedia.

I'm cutting tax, I'll build a wall, I'll take away their medicare
You can trust me 'cos I'm orange and I have the most amazing hair.
So with my total ignorance of matters heterogeneous
I am the very model of a Very Stable Genius!

Compared to other leaders, my behavior's quite unusual
My twisted tweets and pissed-on sheets have managed to amuse you all
I have to drink two-handed 'cause my fingers are the teeniest
I need a sippy-cup with the inscription "Stable Genius."

Given the state of the obstruction evidence, if @potus refuses an interview, Mueller WILL file charges (either criminally or more likely with Congress). See our report for how it will work www.brookings.edu/research/presidential-obstruction-of-justice-the-case-of-donald-j-trump

Thoughtful leaders on both sides of the aisle know FISA section 702 is a vital and carefully overseen tool to protect this country. This isn’t about politics. Congress must reauthorize it.

Kevin McCarthy tells me they’re in “good shape” to pass FISA bill. Asked if Trump tweet made things more challenging, McCarthy says: “There were two tweets.”

He's waiting to interview President Pence. So that he's impeached as well.

BREAKING: Yesterday, I shared that the Trump Administration would issue policy to states on requiring certain people to work to keep getting Medicaid.

The policy is out.

Will add it to this tweet. Follow if interested.1/

Here is the document released from the Trump Administration.

The title of the press release on work requirements labels it “community engagement.” 2/ pic.twitter.com/UOZWCJ3PoH

There are 10 states that have made requests to require “community engagement” of some sort— all likely different.

This memo outlines that type of requests that CMS says they will approve. 3/

The first state request— from KY— is expected to be approved any day now.

This is a radical departure from over 5 decades of how we care for low income families, and hits women especially hard.

A more thorough statement will follow. 4/

BREAKING: House Republicans are opposing a 10-year extension of CHIP—even though it SAVES $6 BILLION per CBO. There is literally no excuse not to ensure long-term security.

BREAKING: Top Dems to Gowdy: Finally Start Investigating President Trump's Compliance w/ Emoluments Clause of U.S. Constitution - Request for Subpoena Comes on One-Year Anniversary of President #TrumpPressConference

medium.com/oversightdems/presidents-compliance-with-emoluments-clause-of-u-s-constitution-5d3f92160c57

One year ago today, President-elect Trump held a press conference to announce that he would not liquidate his assets or establish an independent blind trust.

t.co/iwyu2L5Rhr?amp=1

The docs referenced by Trump were never provided to Congress. According to press accounts at the time“Trump staffers blocked reporters from examining the folders” and others suggested that they “actually appear to have been blank.”

Just asked Feinstein about her comment yesterday about being "pressured" to release the Simpson transcript.

"I made no statement to that effect," she said.

Me: but there are recordings of you saying you felt pressured

"I don't believe there are. I don't believe I said that."

Me: ...Ok. reporters have the recordings

Feinstein: "it appears in one place, and I saw it, and I'm just telling you, you asked me the question, and the question is, it's not correct"

For the record, @desiderioDC has a recording and @mkraju reported the comments as well.

Feinstein's office said yesterday she misspoke -- and she corrected herself as well at the time. But now she's saying she never made the comments, which seems...odd.
