When they talk about corruption, I would prefer a Democrat to step up to the mic and say "This is criminal, this violates our laws, and the people doing this will have to answer for it, not just politically, but legally and financially." Something like that. Consequences. Restitution. Rescue.

Good. More evidence that Trump's enablers are cracking.
Jake Sherman: THE $1B to secure TRUMP's ballroom is in trouble. Moderate Republicans have been chatting with leadership, W.H., each other, saying they cannot vote for it. Politics are too tough, they say.

“A first-year poli sci major would know not to ask members to take this vote and we hope the speaker does too,” one House Republican told us.

Another House Republican put it this way: “There is no way in hell that this will get 218 votes on the floor.”
