NEW: A prominent Kremlin-linked Russian politician has methodically cultivated ties with leaders of the NRA, and documented efforts in real time over six years to leverage those connections and gain access deeper into American politics, NPR has learned. https://t.co/sHa5mGS1sN

It was pointed out to me that Pence had to be a tie-breaking confirmation vote today on a deputy role at OMB. It got basically no coverage, and it speaks volumes about 2018.

30 different studies found places w more guns are less safe. Then the NRA got Congress to shut down the research. https://t.co/J3rHN2RgQl

@Alyssa_Milano @lcmoser This is 700 levels of BS. I'm a longtime D and donor. I've let them know that stops now. How is it helpful to be attacking one of our own so publicly? Especially a qualified woman who has shown real promise in terms of being competitive here. It defies logic.

@mr_wilf @DemocracyValues @KAstros @DemocracyValues is a bot. Don't engage.

@meredithk27 we are poised to win. Makes we wonder, as a lifelong Democrat, why you and the @dccc would do something as shortsighted as try and kneecap one of our own in Texas. Shame on you. https://t.co/MyscHJ0zwr

[Augie Daughter @augiedaughter]

@meredithk27 and @dccc - My mom was a labor organizer & I have been a lifelong Democrat. Actions like this are why instead of donating any more $ to you, I will donate directly to candidates who are working toward CONSTRUCTIVE change, including @lcmoser https://t.co/MyscHJ0zwr

Well, we're getting a better sense of why the Kobach commission has been so resistant to releasing documents. https://t.co/7cocXE3jLb

When Trump talks, the Russians amplify. Not a coincidence. https://t.co/wpspLeVK5g

We filed an amicus brief to the PA Supreme Court urging they rule the state's congressional maps an illegal partisan gerrymander. Today, they did just that. Now the maps must be re-drawn before the 2018 midterms. #fairmaps

Cornyn on DACA/border security resolution: “We’re gonna have to build a coalition of Democrats and Republicans, and I think we can.”

@barbie620 @SusanPaRN321 @realDonaldTrump Laws change all the time as our views evolve as a country. Change the law and they are not “illegal”. It would be terrible for the country both spiritually and *economically* to deport these kids

[Augie Daughter @augiedaughter]

@realDonaldTrump 87% of Americans support a pathway for dreamers. That’s not the “far left base“ – by the numbers that would even include some of your base. You are out of touch.

Inside the White House, Trump, the neophyte president who has styled himself the ultimate dealmaker, remained remarkably disengaged from the complex process of hammering out a politically palatable deal to end the shutdown. @juliehdavis @maggieNYT https://t.co/OuKWwiulBs

[Maggie Haberman @maggieNYT]

The White House is methodically trying to distance Trump from Ross and Zinke. Timing is interesting. https://t.co/7KUhlVIyX8

@JCBarraza2 @jsc1835 @maggieNYT @chrislhayes They did agree to those things. That was all in the bipartisan bill in front of the president when he made his “shithole” comment. The compromise exists. McConnell won’t put it on the floor for a vote.

[Augie Daughter @augiedaughter]

@Daisykona @WSJ He could making a lot more money in the private sector. He is doing what he has done his whole career - serving his country. He has found crimes. This investigation could very well clear the president. Attacking him just makes Trump look more guilty.
