AP - "President Donald Trump will not answer federal investigators' questions, in writing or in person, about whether he tried to block the probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election..."
As the Trump-Bolton administration bangs the drum for war, it's worth remembering
- We don't have a Secretary of Defense
- We don't have a Secretary of Homeland Security
- We don't have a WH COS
- We don't have an Ambassador to the UN
Just a reminder.

Dear Everyone-
Please stop saying that the Russians meddled in our election
TRUTH: They invaded. They stole. They ran a disinformation campaign. They deceived. They cheated. They tampered. They won.
They didn't just meddle. They're not Scooby-Doo.
It’s that moment when your obscure research subject pops up in the news. Yesterday
@AOC
was confronted by a woman claiming to be a climate activist at a town hall meeting. Her proposal to solve the climate crisis - “eat the babies”.

Archie Bunker says that the way to stop terrorists from hijacking planes is to arm all the passengers.
Give them all pistols as they board.
Sound familiar?

Hillary Clinton was a First Lady, a US Senator, a Secretary of State, the first women nominee of a major party for President and won the popular vote in 2016.
The GOP Board of Education in Texas wants to delete her from their history curriculum.
Eric Trump: All while in New York you can't go into Duane Reade, you can't go into CVS and buy skin lotion because it has to be locked behind plexiglass
Hey - Remember when we found out that the sex-trafficker in South Florida was...also an agent of the Chinese gov't..... had also bought access to Trump regime through Mar-a-Lago.... was also a Communist Party official?
Yep. That was all this week.
THIS is the new TV ad that
(1) FOX News refuses to let you see; (2) Donald Trump doesn't want you to know about.
So watch it. Share it.
FOX News refuses to run it.

that using 50-vote threshold "would be great" and "we ought to do that"
GOP NOT IN CONTROL: He tells
@DanaBashCNN
that if Democrats use a 50-vote threshold they would "poison the well"
Weird, huh?
Congress should NOT ALLOW Trump to have an unsupervised meeting with Putin.
Trump & Putin are under investigation for tampering with the election. They can't be allowed to meet without oversight.
#Russia
's state TV:
Politicians & experts reiterate their belief that Trump & Putin will enter into a "secret verbal agreement," wherein Trump will look the other way w/ respect to
#Ukraine
. Political scientist: “Agenda for the Trump-Putin summit should omit the word “Ukraine.””
Dear Copy Writers, Headline Writers & Chyron Writers -
The "House Intelligence Committee" did NOT conclude Russia didn't intervene to elect Trump

Important difference
Thanks,

Clayton County voters give Biden the lead in Georgia.
Georgia puts Biden over 270 Ev - electing him and defeating Trump.
Clayton County is home county of John Lewis.
The moral arc of the universe is long but does, indeed, bend towards justice.
McCarthy voted to
-Raise Prescription Drug prices for older Americans (re-open donut hole)
-To ban Medicare from negotiating lower Drug prices
-To let insurance companies stop covering any of the cost of prescription drugs
McCarthy has taken $1.3 MILLION from drug companies
Democrats and Republicans should be working together to lower the cost of prescription drugs.
What are Democrats doing instead? Holding the Attorney General in contempt for NOT breaking the law.
It's ABSURD.
SIREN: Rick Scott thinks people who have pre-existing conditions just didn't "take care of themselves" so it makes sense to let insurance companies discriminate against them...
Wow:
@ScottforFlorida
just admitted he thinks returning to a time when insurance companies could discriminate based on pre-existing conditions is a good idea.
“We’ve got to reward people for taking care of themselves...It’s no different from what companies have done the past.”

The CDC is now investigating 450 cases of vaping-related lung illnesses, including 6 deaths. This should concern all Americans, especially in light of the fact that vaping and tobacco use are on the rise among American teenagers.
Let me get this straight.
The GOP is partnering with anti-vaxxers to send trucks to block the border --- making supply chains worse and making inflation worse?
So, like, they're pro-pandemic and pro-inflation at the same time?
Quite a thing.
Regardless of whether you liked Michelle Wolf or not, if you're angrier about the vulgarity from a comedian than you are about the vulgarity from a President, you should take a time out and think about your priorities.
"MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The Republican-controlled Wisconsin Legislature on Wednesday voted to stop Democratic Gov. Tony Evers’ administration from requiring seventh graders to be vaccinated against meningitis."
To anyone who sang GOD BLESS AMERICA tonight:
The man who wrote that song came to America as a 5 year-old Russian refugee fleeing the pogroms. His named was Irving Berlin.
Today, Trump would have just thrown Berlin into a cage until he went home

TODAY: We celebrate America's independence day.
NEXT WEEK: Trump wants a secret meeting with a hostile foreign President who invaded our sovereignty to get Trump elected.
Trump wants to meet with Putin alone, with no other aides present on either side, in Helsinki this month. That means no note-takers, witnesses, or official record.
@atrupar
1. Rick Scott is lying. This plan lowers prescription drug prices, not Medicare funding
2. Rick Scott has a plan that ends the guarantee of Medicare in 5 years.
3. Before coming to the Senate, Rick Scott perpetrated the largest Medicare fraud in American history.
