The White House was supposed to file a report more than 2 months ago on the outside groups that paid for White House officials’ travel. It still has not filed the report.

Remarkable final detail in this NYT piece.

FBI officials felt their decision to open a countelintel probe had been validated after Trump said this to visiting Russian officials in the Oval after Comey was fired: "I faced great pressure because of Russia. That’s taken off."

Lovely. And on President’s Day.

This is so out of bounds & offensive I don’t even know how to explain it. Violent gang members, leaders of drug cartels & mob guys have more respect for judges & very rarely do something like this.

It concerns me that the US State Dept under Trump/Bannon awarded a $500k contract to Cambridge Analytica’s parent company, SCL. And that Steve Bannon didn’t disclose his relationship to CA until after that contract was awarded. cc: @CREWcrew https://t.co/2AEhwqxxMA 1/

Trump considered a national emergency on January 10.
He declared it on February 15.
If there really was an emergency at the border, after 36 days of inaction, the US would be a giant caravan led by a pack of coyotes.

They need to make an example of him or this behavior will be encouraged and continue

[indict dfg today @cryborg]

Roger Stone was encouraging Trump supporters to commit acts of violence against Judge Amy Berman Jackson ... he should immediately be taken back into custody, be refused bail, and she should be on around the clock protection.

[indict dfg today @cryborg]

That apology was as worthless as the paper it was written on. They’re trying to game the Federal Court w/passive/aggressive subversive behavior. Perhaps a different Judge will be called upon to issue a new warrant against Stone? If he’s not taken into custody by tmrw? I’ll be 😳

The most startling revelation in the 60 Minutes interview with Andrew McCabe is that @realDonaldTrump told FBI officials in a White House intelligence briefing:

“I don't care. I believe Putin."

How much longer are we going to allow a TRAITOR to occupy our Oval Office?

[Power to the People ☭🕊 @ProudSocialist]

Trump and the GOP are building a dark, dystopian America where the press is the enemy, where truth is not truth, where climate change is not real, where racism is patriotism, and where the FBI are the bad guys and the Kremlin are the good guys.

[Power to the People ☭🕊 @ProudSocialist]

When @realDonaldTrump accuses Rod Rosenstein and Andrew McCabe of treason he is employing a propaganda strategy used by Hitler in Nazi Germany: “Accuse the other side of that which you are guilty.” The FBI is not guilty of conspiring with the Russian government — Donald Trump is.

[Power to the People ☭🕊 @ProudSocialist]

Trump Jr meeting w/ a Russian spy in Trump Tower is treasonous.

Republicans flying to Russia during the 4th of July is treasonous.

Trump siding w/ Putin over U.S. Intelligence is treasonous.

The FBI investigating Trump for conspiring w/ Russia is not treasonous—it’s patriotic.

[Power to the People ☭🕊 @ProudSocialist]

16 states just filed a lawsuit to stop Trump’s #FakeNationalEmergency:

Thank you @AGBecerra for leading the way!

McConnell’s behavior enabling Trump is worse than Trump’s. Discuss.

[Judd Legum @JuddLegum]

Can’t wait until this whole shredding the Constitution thing blows over so we can get back to discussing what song Kamala was listening to when she got high once

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

Declaring a national emergency would be a lawless act, a gross abuse of the power of the presidency, and a desperate attempt to distract from the fact that President @realDonaldTrump broke his core promise to have Mexico pay for his wall.

[Nate Silver @NateSilver538]

Declaring a national emergency would be a *very* unpopular step.

It's unclear whether it would fade into the background as it got tied up in the courts, or would remain a salient issue for some time.
