If Russia were an “enemy,” Trump would clearly be guilty of “treason.” But Russia is a hostile nation making cyberwar on the U.S. So Trump is committing “high Crimes and Misdemeanors” in plain view by cozying up to Putin. We need #ImpeachmentInquiryNow!

Vladimir Putin didn't just attack American elections. It was an attack on the entire United States meant to undermine our democracy and national security. Seeing President Trump joke with Putin about this shows where the loyalties of the President of the United States really lie.

[Dan Rather @DanRather]

It seems Pres. Trump wants a militarized Fourth of July celebration more similar to the kinds of events overseen by dictators like his buddy Kim Jong-un. I prefer the Boston Pops, hot dogs, and Uncle Sams on stilts.

Good riddance! (and I know just who should replace him....)

DHS is planning to target "families" as part of stepped up effort to deport undocumented immigrants, a senior admin official told me, in response to Trump's tweet last night. But the official said there are "not a lot of happy faces" at DHS, as Trump revealed plans in the works.

“Should adults be arrested without their children because they are at school, day care, summer camp or a friend’s house, it is possible parents could be deported while their children are left behind.”

Who could wish this on another human being? https://t.co/8qYpem3wdd

Can we please just cut to the chase - everyone knows what these citizenship questions on the census are designed to do.

[Dan Rather @DanRather]

It's like President Trump is testing how craven his GOP enablers are... Cuddle up to a murderous dictator? Crickets. Welcome election "help" from a hostile foreign power? Nothing to see here. On and on! Oh how I wish this was Candid Camera and not the state of the Republic.

Compassion and concern for others are the key to human survival. People with no interest in religion sometimes disregard qualities like patience and compassion, which they associate with religious practice. In fact, they are relevant to anyone who wishes to live a happy life.

It’s pathetic to watch the reviews of Mueller as performance art. He issued a clarion call that we’ve been attacked — and continue to be under attack — by an enemy power and that POTUS is covering it all up rather than defending America. And people dissect his double negatives!

[Rep. Nadler @RepJerryNadler]

Given that Special Counsel Mueller was unable to pursue criminal charges against the President, it falls to Congress to respond to the crimes, lies and other wrongdoing of President Trump – and we will do so. No one, not even the President of the United States, is above the law.

[Goodenoughing @Goodenoughing]

Robert Mueller: “If we had had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so.”

They DID NOT SAY SO.

[Laurence Tribe 🇺🇦 ⚖️ @tribelaw]

Mueller said: READ MY REPORT. It says I COULDN’T indict a sitting president. If my office could’ve concluded he was innocent of collusion or obstruction, we would’ve. We couldn’t so we didn’t. Only Congress can hold him accountable. The ball is in their court now.

[Jim Acosta @Acosta]

Biden camp responds as Trump lands back in US: "The President’s comments are beneath the dignity of the office. To be on foreign soil, on Memorial Day, and to side repeatedly with a murderous dictator against a fellow American and former Vice President speaks for itself." 1/2

This tyrannical lunacy has gone much too far

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

How we view human nature can mean the difference between living in a world filled with people who are perceived as hostile, violent and dangerous, or as essentially kind, helpful and gentle. A deep awareness of the essential goodness of human beings can give us courage and hope.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

Our life depends on others so much that at the root of our existence is a fundamental need for love. That is why it is good to cultivate an authentic sense of responsibility and concern for the welfare of others.

[Dan Rather @DanRather]

Pres. Trump complaining Democrats getting nothing done in Congress, when they control only the House (sigh). Plus, I seem to remember when GOP controlled both houses and the White House and got very little accomplished. But I guess history and civics are not Trump's strong suits.

[NewsandGuts @NewsandGuts]

Justin Amash apparently doesn’t care about being bashed by fellow Republicans (or the President). Today he says, “Some of the president’s actions were inherently corrupt.” https://t.co/wQhFttiO7y #justinamash

What's going on with Ben Carson? The HUD Secretary's appearance before Congress on Tuesday was nothing short of a disaster until it got worse. https://t.co/9AexI1ncvR #BenCarson
