In the latest display of Turkish anger at U.S. policy in Syria, the state news agency has divulged the locations of 10 U.S. military bases and outposts in northern Syria where the U.S. is leading an operation to destroy the so-called Islamic State in its self-styled capital of Raqqa.

The list published by the Anadolu news agency points to a U.S. presence from one end to the other of the Kurdish self-administration region—a distance of more than 200 miles. The Anadolu news agency even listed the number of U.S. troops in several locations and in two instances stipulated the presence of French special forces.

There are important things going on, so pay attention to what is happening with 'Made in America' week. Obviously the problem is that only three people know what happened, and none are going to talk unless Russia needs leverage. How stupid of the president to put himself into a compromise situation like that.


No one else was in the room when it happened!

That's how the capital was moved out of NY.

Trump will, of course, turn the Turkish leak news into an anti-Obama tweet. "Failed policies of the Obama Administration, blah, blah, blah".

Turkey is increasingly aligning with Russia and is on the outs with NATO. It currently holds the second-largest standing army in NATO. The Justice and Development Party sucks.

I think that the Dems are wandering into their own stupidity loop calling for Ivankna's security access to be reviewed. Let the investigation(s) roll on, don't make divisive news through ill thought through edicts. It points out an absence of political tact while encouraging the Trump and GOP bases to dig in because this truly does look like a witch hunt. Just the smallest amount of political sophistication would pay dividends for the Dems if they could keep their mouths shut and work the processes.

Has anyone seen The Originalist? It's a play about Scalia; I listened to an interview with the actors and I can't tell if I'd pull my hair out or be interested by it.

Look at me, I listen to the 1A, but I don't tell people that I listen to it.

I would love to see it.

lol, i figured you'd get where i picked this up from. i love how the host is a good host and tries really hard to prevent his own views from coming forward when you can obviously tell his personal opinion on science/numbers matters because of how he frames questions.

Plan a long weekend to take in a show then walk a few blocks to the Ballpark. Arena Stage is a nice place.

Joshua Johnson has had an occasional WAMU show on in the evenings, sort of a special I guess, trying to make sense of things in the new landscape. I thought it was a regular occurrence, but it seems to be deployed when things get truly crazy, or it has been decided that this is an everyday occurrence so they gave up (i.e., I cannot find it in the schedule). There is a curates 1 hour of 1A every night on WAMU from 8-9 now, which is good because I almost never hear the mid-day live.

Rep Michael Burgess Jr is a funny guy. The exec branch and the the GOP House and Senate are not accountable for not getting a healthcare action done, because DEMOCRATS. They did this, its their problem. Going on he suggests that pulling the funding for ACA is a completely legitimate course of action because it came from the Executive branch and the president is known as a closer. When ask if that is not closer to murdering ACA (my words), versus it dying he retreated to the word negotiation, then blamed the CNN host (who was trying to hold back her laughter). Glad I saw that bit as the stupidity made me smile.

Tale of two takes (from Google News aggregator view)

There are no notes on Trump's meeting with Putin. That's a big deal.

the RNC and RGA won't funnel money to Kim Guadagno because she spoke out against Trump around the Access Hollywood tape drop. Christie allies also aren't helping her.

An insider within the RNC's top leadership -- who declined to speak for attribution because such appointees serve at the pleasure of the president -- said the lieutenant governor's dire national fundraising situation stems as much from her double digit lag in recent polls as her public criticism of both the president and the governor.

"[The president] is unhappy with anyone who neglected him in his hour of need," said the RNC insider, referring to Guadagno's public disavowal of Trump after a 2005 video of Trump surfaced last October showing him making crude, sexually aggressive statements.


Thanks for the governorship, guys.

i guess JH is best suited to answer this: when does trump support become a liability in an R primary?
