I saw that! I can't believe they are forecasting another 3-5 inches rain between now and Friday evening.

I've been dodging yellow tumbleweeds for weeks.

This weather is really putting a damper on my splash pad and park plans.

Sen. John Thune sounds like an assbag. I had to mute him.

Kennedy was front and center for his aye vote though. Good for him. So much of LA is rural.

It may be symbolic and JukEboX I understand what you mean now. There isn't support to overturn a veto, but it still feels like a win today. The internet doesn't have to be a partisan issue.

Every day he disgusts me more and more (which at this point shouldn't be possible). CSPAN @cspan President Trump during California #SanctuaryCities Roundtable: "These aren't people. These are animals." Full video here: link: cs.pn/2INPSJ4 cs.pn/2INPSJ4

There's also this:
Jim Acosta @acosta
Trump today on immigration: “We have to break up families. The Democrats gave us that law. It’s a horrible thing, we have to break up families. That Democrats gave us that law and they don’t want to do anything about it.” (Fact check: both parties are responsible for immigration)

/xp According to the local news, there may have been as many as 30,000 people at our rally today!!! They thought at first it would be around 10,000. I'm so glad that many teachers decided to show up instead of just take a day off. Though some did chose to work.
I'm so glad we went. It felt very empowering since we're always being told what even bigger hoop we'll have to jump through next with less.
One of the best signs I saw today said something along the lines of "If you don't think we're willing to wait for these changes, you don't know how long we wait to pee!" Also, "Do you still want to arm us?"
Let's see if I can get this to work to work to show the size of the crowd...

Giuliani says Mueller told Trump lawyers they can’t indict a sitting president:
Sounds like Giuliani considers this a win.
Whatever, dude. He won’t be a sitting president if he’s impeached first.
(Like senate republicans will do it, but a girl can and does dream...)

Huhhhhh. This story about how Avenatti got the Cohen banking records -a law enforcement official leaked them because two previous reports about suspicious transactions disappeared from the FINCEN database.
Also, Ronan Farrow is killing it.

Color me skeptical that Mueller told Giuliani anything at this point.
Especially since Guiliani's whole strategy appears to be PR-based and just throwing out dubious legal statements on TV.
