Trump peppered Volker with his negative views of Ukraine, suggesting that it wasn’t a “real country,” that it had always been a part of Russia, and that it was “totally corrupt.”
In her speech in Iowa last night, Kamala Harris called out Sessions, Barr, & Brett Kavanaugh—three of the most dastardly of the Trumpist villains. The other candidates don't have the bona fides to take those guys on. We NEED #Kamala2020.

Greta Thunberg and activist DiCaprio commit support each other:
DiCaprio: “There are few times in human history where voices are amplified at such pivotal moments and in such transformational ways – but @GreatThunberg has become a leader of our time. History will judge us for what we do today to help guarantee that future generations can enjoy the same livable planet that we have so clearly taken for granted. I hope that Greta’s message is a wake-up call to world leaders everywhere that the time for inaction is over. It is because of Greta, and young activists everywhere that I am optimistic about what the future holds. It was an honor to spend time with Greta. She and I have made a commitment to support one another, in hopes of securing a brighter future for our planet.”

NBC reporting that AG Bill Barr has approached 5 intel agencies including the UK asking in strong terms for help with a “hatchet job” on theirs and U.S. Intel services by rescinding assessment that Putin interferred with the 2016 Presidential Election. WHAT THE HELL’S GOING ON?
There’s a very specific term for what Barr is doing. SEDITION is defined as ‘conduct or speech inciting people to rebel against the authority of a state or monarch.’ As Attorney General Barr is going to other countries strong arming them to discredit U.S. Intel agencies. WELL?
why can’t this be part of the impeachment process?
GOP working with Putin to re-write history to favor Trump?
And thus lift sanctions on Russia.
May all of those countries report loudly what Barr is doing to their media.

“Trump Refuses To Allow Thousands Of Iraqis Who Risked Their Lives To Help the US Into The Country.”
The Trump administration is refusing to take in thousands of Iraqis who risked their lives helping American forces during the Iraq war, cutting the number of high-priority refugees allowed into the United States this year and drastically slowing background checks they must undergo. Only 153 Iraqi refugees whose applications were given high priority were admitted in the fiscal year that ended in September — down from a high of 9,829 in the 2014 fiscal year, according to government data obtained by The New York Times.”

“There’s a national labor uprising happening right now that the media isn’t reporting.”
“Decades of wealth concentration and corporate domination leave unions no other choice.
As the national press corps fixates on the coming and goings of President Trump as if it were the only story, the American labor movement is rising up, informed by almost a half-century of wage suppression made possible by unchecked corporate greed that’s turned our economy into a pyramid scheme where all the wealth drifts to the top. For a generation after Ronald Reagan fired the nation’s striking air traffic controllers, unions were intimidated from striking…….What’s driving this militancy? Since the 1970s, while productivity increased, wages declined or stagnated as earning power was replaced by household and consumer debt. The percentage of Americans in a union declined. While workers increasingly struggled to make ends meet, corporations preceded to grow larger and larger, thanks to a U.S. tax code that subsidized them shifting their operations abroad and then enabled them to hide their profits in places like the Cayman Islands……while an estimated 1 in 9 Americans are food insecure, roughly over 37 million Americans, including more than 11 million children.

But also an effort to potentially hide the evidence of the president’s misconduct by placing that hall record in a classified system, that would be beyond most individual’s access and a system in which that hall record did not belong.
