Topped out at 84F in Seattle, so wrong! If you knew us, you’d know we like things around 65F, and try not to complain when it gets blistering! Such a bunch of babies
Got up to 80 here today. Tomorrow it’s suppose to get to 90 tomorrow. It usually doesn’t get that hot this soon. But this weekend back it’s only to get to 55 and snow in mountains.
Seems logical if they knew how to turn it OFF, they surely knew it was there, what its function was; must wonder who directed them, or what motivated them to do something so stupid. Do we have enough prisons to house all these mofos?
How do we get young leaders to take action in their communities? Thanks @BarackObama for your visit & insights tonight in my hometown. pic.twitter.com/EwJXPEkN3w
Today was a good day. Got to see my Forever FLOTUS and My Forever POTUS both make PBO amazing speeches. Saw Jon Ossoff knock his debate performance outta the park.
It’s like this warm feeling has come over me. I dunno what to do. Maybe I need to wiggle! 💃🏾🎼🕺🏾🙃😜😄
Thank you @MichelleObama for sharing your views on diversity & innovation, and for encouraging developers to make the world a better place. pic.twitter.com/IlJRBcb5Di

if Wray did not do work on the Trump matter, then EO does not preclude. But Senate hearings will need to assess that, & his independence. https://t.co/TCCKfQcFg7
Wtf!!! The New FBI Director Christopher Wray's Law Firm Last Year took on Rosneft as a client.. Remember Steele Dossier#TrumpRussiapic.twitter.com/nj2j8swX1c
Oh wait! There’s more! Read the thread…this law firm supposedly lobbies for the Saudis….just “all purpose” law firm, I guess. Helps out the Russians AND the Saudis!
Well, considering the connections that this man has, this law firm has, to the Russians…..it could just cause even MORE problems for the idiot Putin Puppet.
Will questions from GOP members of the Senate Intelligence committee — i.e., Rubio, Cotton — be asked, not to determine Russia’s involvement in our election or 45’s campaign’s possible collusion with Russia or 45’s attempts to obstruct the investigation, but to attack Comey’s reputation?
I’m sure dinner last night wasn’t a social affair as much as it was a strategic meeting. 45/WH is not being silent about their intent.
Morning everyone! Happy Wednesday….Big day today:) Can’t wait for all these guys to prime the pump for tomorrow and Mr. Comey Goes to Washington! ITMFA

Right now, it looks like the Senate’s plan is to make a few minor tweaks to the AHCA, and then dare half a dozen Repbulicans to vote no. It would be a rapid turn-around with votes in under a month from today.
If McConnell has his way, the public will only have two days to read the bill, with a day to debate & a vote 6/28. 2
Pretty remarkable section of Clapper's speech. He says the intelligence assessment did cast doubt on the legitimacy of Trump's election. pic.twitter.com/BFU3XhHClZ
Just read this on MaddowBlog. Brownback really messed up that state..glad they overrode his madness and are trying to restore some order…Brownback may get a job with DT….would fit in perfectly.

Amounts to lip-service. If they really expect the WH to honor requests, then they will make a bi-partisan request. There’s a reason the requests are coming from just Democrats and sends a signal to 45 that the GOP is not going to force the issue.

And then use June to “buy” the incremental votes they need. Most ppl. think it will pass w 50 & there are 43 in now.
Wrap your head around this. A deeply hated and unpopular pseudo president wants to take the healthcare away from tens of millions of people…He’ll still have HIS, he wants YOURS gone so that he can give even MORE tax breaks to his friends and family. Does that sit well with ANYONE??
Nothing that uninsuring 5-7% of America to give >1% of America a tax break can't fix. https://t.co/xDfX9AuffX
They’re trying to make it about “them feeling pressured”. The point is, did maniac45 engage in a conversation about FBI investigation into Russia’s and 45 admin election shenanigans. This is not about someone feeling pressured.

He is a skinny man, but boy can he eat. Ain’t nothing wrong with some good food.

They may be the two most popular men in the world at this time.
Well…THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE

Anyone Trump touts as ‘impeccable’ has to be suspect.
There’s a pattern. Does he think Wray will be ‘loyal’ to him?
Gorgeous place:
Michelle talked about their stay at this place yesterday when she spoke at that Apple event.
What did she say?
Will questions from GOP members of the Senate Intelligence committee — i.e., Rubio, Cotton — be asked, not to determine Russia’s involvement in our election or 45’s campaign’s possible collusion with Russia or 45’s attempts to obstruct the investigation, but to attack Comey’s reputation?
I’m sure dinner last night wasn’t a social affair as much as it was a strategic meeting. 45/WH is not being silent about their intent.
This is what I suspect we’ll see from GOP during Comey testimony.
I don’t trust these Republicans. I don’t.
Neither do I, bella. They’re already showing that it’s about party before country. But even more, it’s about self-interest before party.
They all have their talking points.
Morning everyone! Happy Wednesday….Big day today:) Can’t wait for all these guys to prime the pump for tomorrow and Mr. Comey Goes to Washington! ITMFA

DEALBREAKER. He will not be an impartial investigator of Rosneft, which is at the heart of the allegations against Trump’s entanglement with Russia.
Probably why 45 decided on him over Pistole…who he perceived would be “loyal”.
Gee, thanks

All you need to understand. SHARE WIDELY. CALL YOUR REPS
Mark Warner is talking about STUFF now!!!
Rodgers is not cooperating
They come up with some way to lie without looking like they are lying because they want to protect that pathological liar they call President.
yes
They’re all copping out. They say because this is a public hearing…they aren’t talking and sharing with the public
This “I never felt pressure to interfere or intervene..”” bullshit
They’re trying to make it about “them feeling pressured”. The point is, did maniac45 engage in a conversation about FBI investigation into Russia’s and 45 admin election shenanigans. This is not about someone feeling pressured.
Big, damn CYA Party going on here.
Watch the Republicans on this committee rally around the troops…protect the puppet. Then this makes sense
Lying crooks.
No the Republicans are just like Trump, I don’t trust them at all. Our hope is 2018, we have to get out to vote.
TY, Allison
