This article makes it sound like they were talking about things with Turkey/Israel, many people were opposed to a full withdrawal and then Trump just tweeted it to make it so. Sounds familiar.

OMG.
OFAC is terminating sanctions against Oleg Deripaska.
Like does Trump think he's about to get impeached and is just finishing off all the "quo" or....?

I hope their reputable organizations are those that help refugees, support climate change, and Planned parenthood.

So...Assad tortured and killed an American woman. Why would *that* prompt us to bail in Syria? No, I think she was referring to that story with regards to State Dept pulling their staff out and it not being a safe place for them if US troops are withdrawing. What prompted the decision is completely unclear at the moment. Beyond Trump wanting to do it for his own reasons. MSNBC was talking about how removing troops form the middle East was another campaign promise, and since the wall funding is likely to not happen right now he's shifting gears to fulfill another promise. It's all for bragging points, supposedly.

John Kasich most likely won't primary 45 because he says he can't beat him with today's GOP.

ACA enrollment is at 8.5M this year, down slightly from 8.8M last year...but given all the bullshit from the WH, GOP and that court ruling, it's still pretty good.

But it’s still a bummer because more people could be insured. CA pushed out the deadline for January coverage to 12/21 to counteract all the shenanigans.

It's all for bragging points, supposedly. Getting out of Syria was not a Trump campaign promise. Trump said his goal was to end ISIS, even if it meant partnering with Putin. Given that ISIS has not been defeated, this doesn't meet any of his promises regarding Syria. Well he tells his base he defeated ISIS and they believe him, so maybe he thinks he's fuflfiiling a promise 🤷 the guy is a fucking whack job. Looking for logic in the illogical.

Its taking this long for the ultra-right to understand this?
“Trump will just have been a joke presidency who scammed the American people, amused the populists for a while, but he’ll have no legacy whatsoever.” ~Ann Coulter (ok they aren't just figuring it out this is about him backing down on the stupid wall)

Ugh. The mayor of SF, who I adore, wrote a letter to Governor Brown to commute the sentence of her brother who is serving a 44 year sentence for armed robbery and murder (he’s served almost 20 years already). It’s causing all sorts of controversy here. She wrote it on personal letterhead but after she became mayor. I’m all sorts of conflicted. I don’t think it should be commuted (the crime was horrific) and I don’t want her using her influence to get a favor. But I understand that it must be hard for her.

I’m interested to see how this all goes down with Roger. Doesn’t really seem like he’s going to cop to anything like Cohen/Flynn but who knows if he’s looking at actual charges.
