What exactly does the House Oversight Committee mean when it says it wants to talk with Michael Cohen about Trump's "debts and payments relating to efforts to influence the 2016 election"?
Last Tuesday I began writing a song for @1pissedPolack, who passed away on the 9th.
In real life, she was known as “Amy.”
The first version was a little too sad—and since her son, Zach, wanted to celebrate his mother—I figured the song should as well.
Here’s “Amy’s Song.”
Manafort Memo:
“His deceit, which is a fundamental component of the crimes of conviction and relevant conduct, extended to tax preparers, bookeepers, banks, the Treasury Department, the DoJ National Security Division, and members of the executive branch of the U.S. government."
BREAKING: Despite massive opposition, the Trump-Pence administration just released its unethical gag rule, making it illegal for Title X health care providers to refer patients for abortion. #NoGagRule#DontGagMyCare
11/ Bob Kraft did not solicit sex with a “prostitute.” He paid for sex with a woman who was being trafficked for sex. There’s a huge difference, and it’s important to make the distinction. This guy WANTED what he perceived as a disposable human being to service him.
6/ Some time ago, Epstein got a sweetheart deal for what were, and remain, serious and odious crimes. Minimum jail time. A slap on the wrist. The guy responsible for this deal? Alex Acosta, now Trump’s Secretary of Labor.

4/ I’m not being cute, mentioning the Russian mob. Epstein’s longtime girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, is the daughter of Robert Maxwell, the publishing magnate who was business partners with Semion Mogilevich. Yes, THAT Mogilevich, the capo di tutti capi of the Russian mob.
3/ Jeffrey Epstein is a convicted pedophile. He owns a tropical island, known as Orgy Island. He cultivates the rich, famous & powerful, and is likely used to generate kompromat on them. You know, like the Russian mob do.

Words like “model” & “masseuse” & “beauty pageant” & “escort” & even “prostitute” normalize unspeakably odious behavior by Donald Trump & an alarming number of his associates.
We need to talk about sex trafficking.

FYI: this is what women deal with when they set boundaries EVERY DAY. I'm posting because 1. it's textbook 2. I want men to see it 3. I want other women to know you're not alone and don't owe anyone anything.
When someone doesn't listen to no, they are trying to control you.
The Constitution literally says you must indict a sitting President.
“The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”
This is outrageous & will force immigrant women who are doctors, nurses, scientists & academics, among others, to abandon their professional careers. I called on DHS last year to withdraw this proposal & will continue to fight this. https://t.co/7zYY8ZGxuk
Today, I joined with my colleagues to introduce a bill to block Donald Trump's unconstitutional National Emergency declaration. If Republicans believe in checks and balances and limited government, now is the time to show it.
