A new report projects that nearly 40% of farm incomes in 2019 will come from federal aid to offset Trump's trade war damage, disaster assistance, the farm bill and insurance indemnities. axios.com/farmers-income…

The big freak-out over Mueller having the transition emails is that it means any interviewees who lied to the FBI about matters contained therein is already caught bc the FBI has the record of what happened.

Everyone's talking about Ella Emhoff's sparkly coat but can I just say how nice it is to see Jewish curls in their natural if slightly windblown state in a town of near-universal blow-drying and hair ironing?

"If you want water, just drink from a toilet." That's what border patrol told one thirsty woman we met on today's #DemsAtTheBorder trip. These are the same CBP personnel who threatened to throw burritos at members of Congress. Changes must be made. #DontLookAway

One of America's most famous male journalists of the 1970s did not report on domestic violence in the White House because, he says, he did not understand that the president hitting his wife was a criminal act x.com/thecitywandere…

This is so insulting to everyone who has lost someone to the disease, or had friends suffer from it

"That's all I hear about now. Turn on TV, 'Covid, Covid, Covid Covid Covid.' A plane goes down, 500 people dead, they don't talk about it. 'Covid Covid Covid Covid.' By the way, on November 4th, you won't hear about it anymore ... 'please don't go and vote, Covid!'" -- Trump

People often imagine themselves being willing to take on heroic roles when it comes to the controversies of the past. But what ICE is doing right now is THE event of the early Trump years about which people decades hence will ask how America allowed that to happen.

The president of the US on Veterans Day is calling for military and overseas ballots to be ignored in state voting. Most of the uncounted outstanding Fla. ballots after election day were provisional or military & overseas. miamiherald.com/latest-news/ar…

The Florida Election should be called in favor of Rick Scott and Ron DeSantis in that large numbers of new ballots showed up out of nowhere, and many ballots are missing or forged. An honest vote count is no longer possible-ballots massively infected. Must go with Election Night!

Confirmation from Trump that goal of meeting was to get oppo on Clinton. Not about adoption, per initial statement.

Most politicians would have gone to a meeting like the one Don jr attended in order to get info on an opponent. That's politics!
