I got through to someone I know on the DACA issue... for exactly one day. Then I guess he watched FOX News and read some memes on FB and now he's back at it. Lol

Certain constituents. And while I think he is a snowflake and a tool, I'll wait to completely judge him until there are details. Like was he receiving death threats or prank calls?

A brief google search seems to point to no legitimate reason for the C&D other than not wanting to deal with consistent calls to protect the Dreamers, ACA, and CHIP.

just like Trump!

I assumed that it would be old news, but no talk of HHS offering protections of Doctors, Nurses, and healthcare workers to only heal people that they agree with (i.e., to discriminate against persons based on personal religious beliefs). So where is that line? Whatever elected moron that said something like Biblicaly the poor have always been with us, so they are destine to always remain among us? Clearly people of genders, other faiths, who else? Rather disgusting stem to stern.

The Carrier plant in Indiana has eliminated more than 500 jobs since July, and union officials fear that the $7 million Carrier received in state incentives as part of the Trump deal to keep jobs is going to be invested in automation.

Mean while, Trump has turned his focus to the good job he did with Apple, taking credit for its decision to invest in Us operatoins.

President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that he plans to devote much of his time this year to helping Republicans maintain control of the U.S. Congress, but suggested he may stay out of divisive intra-party primary fights.

"I am going to spend probably four or five days a week helping people because we need more Republicans," the Republican president said in an interview with Reuters. "To get the real agenda through, we need more Republicans."

Good thing there's not a country to run or anything

It's just disheartening.

WH says it did not instruct Bannon to say, or not say anything. So what was Sloppy Steve's lawyer up to? There is an indication of the continuation of the game that the WH might want to invoke privilege in the future, so that is used to restrict discussions to however open you want to be, or, really, obstruct.

Apparently there has been an active warrant out for Seb Gorka in Hungary the entire time he was in the WH. Do they do background checks anymore?

NRA now part of the Russia probe as they are investigating if campaign money was funneled from Russia and eventually through the NRA

Pretty crazy. NRA taking funds to support Trump during the election. FEC would have a problem with that.

There is something wrong in this graph.

Apparently it was one letter sent out last October to a single constituent who called a 19 yr old intern a cunt and threatened her physically. That's fully understandable, and hopefully the intern wasn't too affected.

I still think Cotton sucks.
