If the Administration spent half as much effort trying to cure cancer or fight climate change as it does terrorizing immigrants and retaliating against political opponents, we’d be living in a damn utopia.

Congress, not the president, controls the power of the purse. That is not politics. That is Article I of the Constitution. Handing that authority to the executive today sets a dangerous precedent that undermines the checks and balances our system depends on.

If this is about Comey saying he did not authorize the leak to the WSJ the IG report destroys the case. McCabe leaked it. He told everyone that and he said he did NOT clear with Comey in advance. IF so, this is as malicious a prosecution as I have ever seen. www.documentcloud.org/documents/44...

Grijalva: I was looking at the example of now-Representative Walkinshaw from Virginia, who was elected two weeks ago Tuesday. The following Wednesday—less than 24 hours later—he was sworn in, with unofficial results. So for me, apparently the rules have now changed in just two weeks.

Serious question: Members of Congress have to file financial disclosures, right? So why is it ok that @RepMarkGreen won’t say what “private sector opportunity” he’s resigning for… as he sticks around to get the budget passed? Obviously unethical. Maybe unlawful?

I thought the Marines swore an oath to the Constitution, not to a king, not to a party, and certainly not to an autocrat. Any leader who demands blind loyalty to themselves over the rule of law is unfit to command. Demand our service members defend democracy, not the oppressors.

Trump ended funding to Voice of America and Radio Liberty, forcing both to stop broadcasting to countries that restrict press freedom. VOA began operations in 1942; RL started in 1951. Why did Trump silence this voice against communism, fascism and oppression? Iran, Russia and China are thrilled.
