Adam Schiff humiliates Meghan McCain over question of collusion
In the annals of journalism, only two sentences have had the power to send a frisson of dread down the spine of any politician: “Hello, I’m Mike Wallace, and I’m from 60 Minutes” and “I’m Meghan McCain from The View, and I have a really stupid question to ask you that you’ve already answered a…

Happy third anniversary to this Trump tweet about Russian interference!
Check the date. This tweet sprung from the rich, fertile loam in Donald Trump’s cranium exactly three years ago this morning: x The new joke in town is that Russia leaked the disastrous DNC e-mails, which should never have been written (stupid), because Putin likes me — Donald J.

Received this e-mail from Andrew Romanoff’s (D. CO) U.S. Senate campaign: Robert Mueller just concluded his testimony before the House Judiciary Committee.

Pompeo: Trump would 'do the right thing' if offered foreign election help
The sinister derp-state campaign to pass Donald Trump off as a real president and/or human being continues. Today, it was Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s turn.

Justin Amash scorches Don Jr., bakes his ashes into a scone, and eats it with a dollop of marmalade
I’m not one to speak well of a Republican — particularly a Tea Party Republican — but Rep. Justin Amash at least knows how to read a report and draw some glaringly obvious conclusions. And because he has a talent for reading comprehension that’s exceedingly rare among his brethren, Republicans have gone ape-shit over his calls…
Lindsey Graham forgot to hide these virulently anti-Trump tweets
As D.C. doctors finish suturing Lindsey Graham’s lips to Donald Trump’s regal buttocks, you might take a moment to recall that he was once one of Trump’s biggest detractors, as the following tweets prove … After Trump insulted John McCain’s service by saying he likes people who weren’t captured (by the way, Graham was one of…
Kushner: Mueller probe more harmful than Russian attack, which amounted to 'some Facebook ads'
Looks like Little Lord Fauntleroy is toeing the Trumpian line, and then some.

Define Collusion and Make It a Crime, Limit Pardons, and Examine Foreign Financial Entanglements
Congress needs to act to clarify and define that acting in concert with a foreign nation or foreign group to subvert or influence US elections is a felony with a substantial penalty.

MD-05: Steny Hoyer's (D) Primary Challenger Rips Him A New One On Twitter For His Cowardly Remarks

Anyway, you all know this happened today: House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said Thursday that nothing he saw in special counsel Robert Mueller's report would make seeking to impeach President Trump a “worthwhile” effort “at this point.” Hoyer made the remarks to CNN’s Dana Bash following the Justice…
This much is certain: Trump tried to cover up a 'sweeping' Russian attack on the U.S.
The bar has been set so low for this president that a damning report that can’t conclusively point to criminal wrongdoing is somehow being spun as a glorious triumph for Donald Trump and his skittering phalanx of swamp rodents. And damning it is. For this reason alone, if nothing else: “Although the investigation established that the…
