Shappy? His parents not like him or something? I was more annoyed by the “at last” comment. But Shappy. Jesus. I’m old enough to have friends who are grandparents I’m kinda excited to get grandkids so I kinda get it. Lol

I think she's incredibly smart and I think she knew exactly what she was doing by hiring a similarly smart bulldog of a lawyer who happens to have a face for television. Damn, Stormy hit the jackpot with that lawyer of hers.

Did all of our Ohio ladies vote in the primaries today? I can’t comment on the Iran thing because I’m too angry. Indiana's was today, too. And North Carolina had something too

If you aren't watching The Circus, you should be. It's fantastic reporting. John Heillemann was in the car with Michael Avenatti as he left the Courthouse on Hannity day

This is the exact question I just asked my mother, word for word. Lololol Is it too....conspiracy theorist to wonder if a Russian source tipped him off? Again, further destabilizes America and that benefits them.

Damn, Gina! This is actually last week's episode but Sally Yates:
"I don't understand how he would have the moral authority to continue as president, but yet refuse to answer [Mueller's] questions"

At this point, I don't think I'd he surprised if the Loch Ness Monster conspired with the tooth fairy herself to send the leak as a message in an actual bottle.

Y'all, I think I might canvas for a Congressional condidate next weekend (in a swing district on swingleft, aiee!) and I'm super nervous. Someone hold my hand and tell me it'll be ok.
Is there some way to prepare ahead of time? Should I know more than fuck-all about the other candidates or anything?

More coming in. "Transactions totaling at least $4,400,000 flowed through the LLC starting shortly before Trump was elected and continuing to Jan. ‘18." So...this is money laundering, yes? And pretty significant violations of campaign finance laws? And potentially bribery with the AT&T payments? Am I just jumping to conclusions??? ETA: I'm not on board with Russian collusion JUST YET because the payments happened after Trump had won...right? I'm just...trying to restrain myself. From the snippet I caught tonight. It’s not illegal to pay for access to the pres. So the at&t thing isn’t necessarily a violation IF it hadn’t involved a sanctioned oligarch

You can include congress in that too.

I was so nervous about canvassing my first time but,in this day and age, the campaign should give you literature that, at minimum, has a link to the candidate's positions. So don't feel like you singlehandedly have to act as a spox for the candidate. You can always just say something like, "That's such a great question and I'd encourage you to visit the candidate's position on Issue X here at the website listed on this convenient piece of literature"

Also ktg I bring my kids when I canvas. For one, I think it's good for them. For two, most people are less likely to be straight up jackwagons when a small child is present.

dc2london I hope that's true! I'm excited to be tangibly involved in something. Hell, I just registered as a dem (was independent before but this state has closed primaries) and now I'm just making my avatar face when I think about doing this. But I'm doing this. I'm doing this! ![](https://media1.tenor.com/images/f573cf10fe1ee7e9291c739cd70f8bc8/tenor.gif?itemid=7385066) ETA the time slot is toddler nap time so I think I'll leave that mess at home. 😂

*snip* Pics of AT&T’s mentions after the news broke they paid into Cohen’s shell corp before the merger news... Just hours before that bombshell dropped: ATT named to Corporate Responsibility Magazines list of 100 best corporate citizens... The first reply is my favorite. ![](https://media.giphy.com/media/l0ExayQDzrI2xOb8A/giphy.gif) I mean, obviously the rank and file employees at AT&T had little to do with their leadership's decisions and I feel bad for them. But yeah, that tweet will definitely not age well.

North Korea has released the detainees. Trump says he will be there to greet them and Pompeo when they land.

Ron Wyden is Ron Wydening
Ron Wyden, critic of Gina Haspel's, unloading on CIA today. "There is literally an A to Z coverup going on here," he told me. "What you have is selective declassification; you have a public influence campaign being waged by the agency and just a boatload of misinformation."
