I saw the Trump Accounts commercial tonight. Anyone else? Is this the start of his media blitz before the midterms?

Taking art lessons from a lovely, accomplished Russian painter, but yesterday he mentioned his sister in Moscow is "getting into landscape architecture because we have all this new land in Crimea and people with oil money are moving there and want a lot of design done." <I feel sick.> #crimea

Trying to get my husband (who works from home) to quit at a reasonable hour today (we have some stuff to get done) but he never listens to me. So I'm playing dirty to get my way. I started cooking hashbrowns. Let's see how long before he comes downstairs.

In Sunny Isles Beach, FL, aka “Little Moscow” Trump-branded condos have spent years marketed to wealthy pregnant Russians as premium birth tourism packages — gold bathtub and chauffeured Escalade included. Funny how outrage over birthright citizenship never touched that. #SheShed

While the president rails against children of undocumented immigrants, wealthy Russians rent his condos—at huge costs—so they can have American kids.

Why is it that almost no one gives a damn that the Republicans are deliberately killing the maximum number of pregnant women possible? The abortion restrictions in red states have caused maternal mortality rates to soar, as everyone knew they would. So the GOP stopped keeping statistics.

WHOA. Lewandowski is accused of demanding fees from a private prison company to steer them ICE contracts, at a time when he was widely known to be running DHS on Kristi Noem's behalf, then punishing them when they didn't pay up. Congress should conduct a full and bipartisan investigation into this.

Hot take: instead of voting against Trump, Republicans are slowly dropping out of Congress and will gradually cede the power back to the Dems who will then prosecute him. That way it's more like attrition and not confrontation, so they can't be blamed.
