SPICY LIVES: And face it, you want *every* detail on Dmitro Firtash extradited - how, why, and why Trump is IN TROUBLE. Mob too.

Cheating on your wife who is helping you cover up campaign finance crimes is a bold move @Rep_Hunter How's that working out for ya?


Trump has been snapping at Mick Mulvaney with some frequency, and expressing greater frustration with him than usual, Politico reports. Trump's treatment of Mulvaney signals to aides that the slow deterioration of their relationship has begun.


Stephanie Grisham named as Sarah Sanders' replacement


If you want South American migrants to stay home, they need to have an economy to sustain them, and security to protect them. Without those elements, ppl will flee and head towards wealth/security. NAFTA helped Mexico create new jobs which kept potential migrants home.

The Trump Murdoch alliance: Seven days and seven examples


How do I say this delicately? The 2020 election is going to be a dystopian hellscape of which the likes we have never seen.


Dear @FLOTUS: Your #BeBest Ambassadors may want to visit 1. Detention camps where @realDonaldTrump Administration is arguing it doesn't have to provide soap, toothbrushes & toothpaste 2. @HRW HQ where they will explain how US assisted Saudi coalition has killed lots of children

Iran is accusing the United States of lying about wanting to resume talks between the two countries in the wake of new sanctions imposed by President Trump earlier this week.


Trump’s trade wars thrust farmers into desperation loans Farmers have seen their net income plummet by half since 2013 and are now expected to hold nearly $427 billion in debt this year.


A cot in a tent city with a metal blanket, no toothpaste, no soap: $775 per day. A SUITE at the Trump International Hotel, DC: $757 per day. Someone is making a KILLING torturing children.


This is great. A collection of Hollywood stars hosted a live play based on the Mueller Report. If Congress won't #ReadTheMuellerReport, then share this video far and wide and send a list of Trump's impeachable offenses to them here:

- annex territory in Europe - launch a war against a sovereign state - kill over 13 thousand people - take dozens of political prisoners - ignore all PACE resolutions PACE: we lift sanctions and welcome you back! Europe, you are a disgrace.


Russia keeps killing in Ukraine and many EU countries do not care. We should be ashamed.


the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) have voted in favour of a report that will allow the return the delegation from #Russia to the chamber. 118 for 62 against 10 abstentions. 1st Western sanctions against Moscow to fall


Council Of Europe's Assembly OKs Russia's Return


I am sad to see that many European countries decided to appease Russia and let it come back to Council of Europe despite the fact that Moscow has not changed anything in its hostile behavior. You cannot appease dictators, they see it as weakness and will be even more aggressive.

Boris Johnson has just described the Garden Bridge as an “excellent project”. It cost £53m and doesn’t exist.


I have 3 kids. I know the math. A 24/7 nanny, hotel room, food, per diem, toothbrush and soap are far cheaper than this $775 per child, per day these companies are charging US. Our policy isn’t just morally vacuous. It’s bad economics. Where is $ going? h

Have we become numb to Trump’s loathsomeness?


How can journalist E. Jean Carroll be brushed away as just one more? In the era of #MeToo and this having nothing to do with anything consensual at any point? This is the most extreme accusation we've had against this President and it has had almost no impact on our dialogue.

Revelations of immigrant detention camp horrors renew outrage


The most terrifying thing about this is that the Trump administration isn't sorry they held kids in prison camps, they’re sorry they got caught.


Despite a bipartisan push, Mitch McConnell just shut down the possibility of a vote on an amendment that would require congressional approval for the use of military funds in Iran.


Rep. Burgess on conditions in migrant camps: "You know what? There's not a lock on the door. Any child is free to leave at anytime, but they don't. You know why? Because they are well taken care of."


Today Michael Flynn & his three person legal team emerged from the courthouse into a sultry DC summer, stepped over a dead rat, and flagged down a standard DC red cab before quickly squeezing inside. They drove away, Flynn in the middle seat, and the metaphor machine exploded.


Trump considered Jeanine Pirro for a top DOJ job under Jeff Sessions — a job she lobbied hard to get, WaPo reports. But Sessions blocked the appointment, after which Pirro attacked Sessions on her show for recusing himself from the Russia investigation.


Is Flynn preparing to take on the gov't? His new lawyer wants a security clearance. Prosecutors say there is no classified in the discovery. But lawyer says she needs it to review "other information" related to case.


Looking forward to collaborating with all of our #BeBest Ambassadors. Delighted to be working alongside so many people both inside and outside of government to better the lives of children everywhere!

#Russia’s state media about #Iran: “Trump was too scared to bomb because of Putin.” The columnist mockingly surmises: “As it turns out, Trump's only adequate foreign policy advisers are Vladimir Putin and Tucker Carlson. Only they tell him the truth, which is kind of sad.”


Trump's first line of defense to a rape accusation is "She's not my type." That's his first thought, not 'I would never rape anyone.'
