This must be exposed --> White House security specialist has been suspended without pay for defying her supervisor Carl Kline who approved Jared Kushner for top secret clearance


Thousands write in to oppose DeVos proposal to change campus sexual assault guidelines


Sec. Pompeo is expected to announce US intention to withdraw from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty as early as Friday, according to three US officials familiar with the decision


Last week we learned that career White House national security specialists reportedly rejected Jared Kushner's application for a security clearance, but were overruled by a "quasi-political" supervisor. Jared Kushner's security clearance *must* be revoked.


Opinion: This man used to fight the cartels. He knows why Trump’s wall won’t work.


.@MaddowBlog: Has President Trump peddled bogus claims about the border because of a movie?


We recently learned that career WH security specialists initially rejected Jared Kushner's security clearance application. It was overruled by a “quasi-political supervisor.” His security clearance must be revoked immediately. Our letter w/ @RepDonBeyer:


Lol. So you were finally taken to the principals office and patronized into submission. You’re like a spoiled five year old with congealed ice cream cake melt around your main head orafice bellowing for your 4th piece. You’re going to prison, traitor.


A well-deserved $300 million verdict against the Assad regime has been announced for its targeting and murder of American reporter (and full disclosure, my friend) Marie Colvin. Congratulations to her sister Cat on pursuing this to verdict.

New filing in United States v. Stone: Protective Order


We are at war with the global Mob and several enemy nation-states. This is bioweapon lethality on the level of nuclear weapons, with the worst-case nuclear scenario death tolls. WAKE UP AND ACT LIKE WE'RE AT WAR. BECAUSE THESE PEOPLE WANT YOUR KIDS DEAD. AND YOU.


Just filed: Here's the joint motion in Roger Stone's case to designate the case as complex, which pushes back the usual deadlines in criminal cases. Why? The amount of evidence is "voluminous and complex" and involves "several terabytes of information"


Dear @POTUS: Many people say you get your facts from fictional sources. We are concerned you may not understand the difference between our intelligence agencies and movies/entertainment shows. Here is a memo that explains the difference.

BREAKING: US Customs and Border Protection reports its largest fentanyl bust ever, seizing nearly 254 pounds of the opioid in Arizona.

Chemical warfare.

Cable news is all about Howard Schultz virtually all the time now, covering every aspect of his prospective candidacy and the response to it, except one: why they’re devoting so much airtime to one and only one no hope third party candidate.


I brought up unanswered questions about indicting a sitting president & the special counsel report with @senjudiciary. We need those answers before we are obliged to vote on #Barr.


What @Jim_Jordan don't want you to know is that this bust took place at a legal port of entry. A wall would have made no difference.


REPORTER: Do you have confidence with Gina Haspel and Dan Coats to give you advice? TRUMP: "No, I disagree with certain things they said. Time will prove me right, probably."


The rumors are true. Trump has "accomplished the military."


Nancy Pelosi on whether Russia has compromising information on Trump: "I think it's a question. By the way. I've been asking that question for two years ... I've always said that. What is this? What is this? Something is wrong with this picture."


You know who’s a YUGE fan of Iran? Your daughter @IvankaTrump. She couldn’t get enough of Iranian Revolutionary Guard bribes for her @Trump hotel in Baku. Why don’t you ask her for an intelligence briefing?


"Moscow and Beijing are working together more closely now than they have in decades, so regardless of what each country's capability is, it appears that they might work together to do us harm."


"It feels like I’m at a firefighters conference and no one’s allowed to speak about water.”


"Billionaire" isn't a qualification. It's the description of a person who is hoarding more resources than they could use in 100 lifetimes while other people are starving. It's the name for a human dragon sleeping on its pile of rubies and gold.

Let this settlement be a clear message that anyone profiting off impersonation on social media and seeking to make a quick buck lying to honest Americans is breaking the law and will be held accountable.


We've reached a groundbreaking settlement with Devumi for selling fake followers, likes, and views on social media platforms like Twitter & YouTube. This is the first settlement of its kind to find that selling fake social media engagement is illegal.


A number of passport numbers and names of alleged Wagner mercenaries has recently surfaced. What turns up when we run these names/passport numbers through leaked Russian databases? Lots of ties to the Russian MoD/GRU and the Wagner base in Krasnodar.


New details via @nancook: White House aides have been quietly meeting with conservative political groups to build support for the president to do the emergency declaration. Goal is to have such a declaration 100 percent ready to go.


This is like learning about the Watergate break-in and choosing to investigate whether the rooms were cleaned regularly.


White House aides restrain Trump from attacking Kamala Harris over fears of ‘elevating’ her candidacy


Rep. Jackie Speier, D-Calif. wrote to Mnuchin last week, raising concerns about a possible conflict of interest behind the Treasury actions, citing the secretary’s reported sale of his stake in a film company to Len Blavatnik, an associate of #Deripaska’s

RT purports to be outraged at my column warning of the dangers of US withdrawal from Syria and Afghanistan. This is the propaganda organ of the Putin regime which is committing war crimes from Ukraine to Syria. Russia wants Trump to pull US troops


George Will makes a compelling case: Amy Klobuchar may be best equipped to send the president packing


I don't think it's gotten enough attention that Trump celebrated the exact same Dow milestone almost exactly a year apart. Like is he not aware that this means the market did nothing for a year?


Mnuchin sold his $25 million stake to a “third party” who they say is “unrelated” to a Russian oligarch. What “third party?” We cannot have our Treasury Secretary - or our President - doing opaque business deals all over the world


I'm sort of happy that McConnell fears making election day a federal holiday. It's such a frank acknowledgement that the GOP's ideas are not accepted by the majority of American voters. Any party that is scared of people exercising the right to vote, will eventually be doomed.


Sen. Pat Leahy: "We can reach a bipartisan agreement, fund our government, secure our country & our borders, but our choice of how to allocate American tax payer money must be grounded in reality."
