For me, the Parkland children being belittled and abused in so many ways is utterly heartbreaking to witness. But they have been more adult than the adults in their response. They have shown us what faith means, and bravery. POTUS? He is made much, much smaller.

For 27 years, I was privileged to work with the thousands of career DOJ lawyers and FBI agents who work hard every day to keep our country safe, our rights protected, and the rule of law intact. They deserve better than this.

So sad that the Department of “Justice” and the FBI are slow walking, or even not giving, the unredacted documents requested by Congress. An embarrassment to our country!

Lou Dobbs has been on speaker phone during White House meetings on issue like trade and taxes.

Per @swin24, Trump has even cut off WH officials so Dobbs can get a word in.

Surely this is against WH policy?

OK - it's Rasmussen. You can just bet that it will be tweeted about, though.

I'll have another try.

I saw it a little earlier. Even Melania looked distinctly edgy when he started on about military spending.

I didn't actually watch it--I can manage the transcripts only these days.

President Trump called Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi today to congratulate him for his victory in a sham election.

It's déjà vu after his similar call with Putin last month.

House Oversight Dems say the fund to help cover Trump aides’ Russia probe legal fees may be set up in a way that could keep the IDs of donors secret, could allow the Trump campaign to control who gets disbursements and may hide the identity of recipients.

Hands up whoever thinks Melania would be doing a better job of running the country than her husband.

Shulkin says he was fired. The White House said he resigned. Here's why it matters.

When Trump fired Comey, he did it while Russian foreign minister Lavrov and ambassador Kislyak were in DC, and the three of them gloated about it together in person the next day.

And now Putin is coming.

[which in keeping with past patterns was announced first by the Kremlin rather than the White House, I believe]
