The tabloid TMZ is ripping elected officials with a searing scrutiny beyond even what it usually reserves for celebrities, becoming an improbable fount of accountability. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
This will either be the best or the worst thing to happen to the American people.

Can I just say how I excited I am that TMZ decided to cover DC?
Sen Sheldon Whitehouse @whitehouse.senate.gov top ten list of how Trump is doing Putin’s bidding. Trump is a Russian asset undermining American values and democracy. Ten more reasons to remove Trump from office #TrumpIsPutinsPuppet #TrumpPutinsBitch #ImpeachTrumpNow #DV1 #ProudBlue
Remember when Trump threatened to wipe out a whole civilization? And then backed out of that and talked about forming a deal with Iran? And then dropped that and went to a UFC fight as negotiations fell apart? And then unveiled a triumphal arch and a photo of himself as Jesus?
That was this week.
PA last month said the two Trump prison camps they want to put there can't be hooked up to water or sewer (and therefore can't open).

So there’s no regime change, we lift all sanctions against them going back decades, they retain missile and drone capabilities, they control the strait and can charge tolls, and keep their enriched uranium. So much for “unconditional surrender.”
Thank god. Christ.
But seriously folks. We cannot continue to live like this.
The warnings are getting louder about Trump trying to take over voting at the national level.
Are we paying attention?
Sen Mark Warner, vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, is sounding the alarm, and he’s not guessing. That committee sees things the public can’t.
This is so bittersweet it makes you want to cry out of frustration; a sense of utter fruitless waste; and an appreciation for an institution doing the right thing
People need to pay close attention to this OLC opinion on the Presidential Records Act.

This could be the end of Planned Parenthood as we know it.
“Participating clinics are currently in their last year of a five-year grant…but those that don’t align with the Trump administration’s new vision could have difficulty securing more funding next year.”
