While we're all focusing on treasonous behavior by potus, dont forget there are still kids in cages, PR doesnt have electricity, and Flint doesnt have clean water AND we have a 'youngish' white guy up for confirmation on SCOTUS. All of that coverage has been dropped in the last 24 due to that embarrassing display yesterday

I tried calling Mitch McConnell yesterday but could never get through and last night, either his voicemail was full or he had it turned off. I hope his staffers are giving him a shit ton of pissed off messages.

I asked my dad if he thinks his house cleaner is a spy yesterday (in jest) - since she is a (not recent) Russian immigrant and he wanted to talk politics with her (and he's a former defense contractor). That's what that show did to me.

Obama just ad-libbed on how much money people need. it was fantastic.
I miss having an intelligent, thoughtful, compassionate person representing our country. Listening to someone able to form a coherent sentence is really refreshing.

Someone posted on Facebook and was butthurt about six republican volunteers getting kicked out of their Uber ride after talking politics. Driver told them to get out and said "welcome to the resistance." Honestly I don't care to think about if this is right or wrong. People who still support Republicans need to be called on their shit. At this point you are complicit in everything. dailycaller.com/2018/07/15/uber-driver-republican-volunteers-resistance/

I've seen the RBG movie trailer and... I have concerns. Felicity Jones is a great actress but it looks like a pretty Hallmark-y version of her. Much more like Mary Tyler Moore spinning and smiling. What we know of her from press and the documentary is that she's actually pretty uncool and overserious and maybe not the warmest mother. (And that should be okay with us.) I hate to grouse, but Natalie Portman would have been the better pick. Do we know what happened there?

Not the same. Being gay is not a choice. Being g a Republican shitheel is. ETA: Not in this story, but in comments on it on FB, that comparison is being made.

Addressing election security. "We can't have this happen again". Moves for election security immediately.

Calling out the SCOTUS nom. Calling for "rigorous scrutiny" before voting.

Cornyn is downplaying the criticism of GOP response to Russian interference. Calling Mueller's indictments "name and shame" since the Russians won't respond anyway.

Says he trust the intelligence agencies but insists there wasn't collusion because, ya know, Mueller hasn't mentioned it yet. We should be nice to Trump, guys.

Is he *criticizing* Mueller for indicting the Russians involved??? Not outright, but he did make is seem like the indictments were unnecessary.

DiFi is raising the alarm over Republicans in the House drawing up articles of impeachment for Rod Rosenstein. Can you imagine doing that? Right now? The optics will be terrible. Mueller must be getting really, really close to some shit that's going to tear the Republican party apart. The spy they arrested yesterday was in the Oval. I'm thinking shes might have a wee bit more info on the tower meeting in June 16.

Apparently Rosenstein has already been to the WH and left. Trump was not in the WW but still in the residence (at 11:30, the lazy fuck.) Where did you hear about this?

So I will say this, I swear I heard Rosenstein's meeting was a regularly scheduled one there.
But wtf is up with Hannity tweeting that? That is.......that is not a good idea dude. Like wut.

Fox is reporting that Jim Jordan and a few other GOP reps are investigating whether Rosenstein threatened congressional staffers. I just can't.
