BREAKING: A judge has dismissed President Trump’s lawsuit against me over the TRUST Act.
The TRUST Act, a law allowing Congress to request access to financial documents from NY, is an important tool that will ensure accountability & transparency.
"Report said the drug cartels purchased hotel units to hide the origins of money earned through drug trafficking and other criminal activity, and Trump is estimated to have earned tens of millions of dollars from the deals." From Nov. 2017. Still waiting.https://t.co/YYeejzTDFg
I love her. She is just so damn impressive, intelligent and gracious.
SHE WAS ROBBED. USA WAS ROBBED of her presidency. She shows no bitterness. I AM EATEN UP BY IT on her behalf. She’s a better person than I am. pic.twitter.com/p4HqfSVpdE
I'm always impressed, as with Obama, by calm, thoughtful, non-histrionic replies she gives. I like statespersons (not politicians!) who care, think, consider consequences, can apologize, & change course when necessary.
100 House Republicans have announced their departures since Trump took office. Republicans are running for the exits faster than Cadet Bone Spurs ran from the draft.

ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS. Fox News, MSNBC, CNN, CSPAN. Many outlets putting up the impeachment inquiry live for all to see. We’ll return to our regularly scheduled programming after the evidence is laid out before the world -Trump leveraged our foreign policy for his political gain.
NEW: The House Intelligence, Oversight, and Foreign Affairs Committees have just released the depositions of two former assistants to Amb. Volker: Catherine Croft and Christopher Anderson.
Kurt Volker indicated to Pentagon official Laura Cooper in August that the military funds would be released to Ukraine if Zelensky publicly committed to investigations, per Cooper’s deposition. pic.twitter.com/i5PuQpNlmU
OMB put a separate, earlier hold on Javelin missiles to Ukraine because Mick Mulvaney was concerned that “Russia would react negatively,” according to State Dept. official Catherine Croft. OMB was the lone objector. pic.twitter.com/kChQynqe3n
I like Deval very much. He gave a GREAT rousing speech at 2012 Dem convention. But right now, people entering the race at this point are saying they don’t see anyone else they can support and I think that hurts Dems.

Cory Remsburg’s story in NYMag is so painful to read and understand. It details his trials and suffering with recovery efforts as well as those of his parents. It’s an unvarnished view of the costs of war.
Thanks to PBO and Pete for continuing to tell his story. I love how they’ve bonded.
As Democratic Presidential nominees go, I (still) really like @JulianCastro and @KamalaHarris. Just wanted to say their names because they so rarely get their due. @amjoyshow talked about this today.
I really, really like both of them too. Media makes me angry the way Karris, Castro and Booker are NOT covered. Hmm, what is similar in those three? 😣🥵😳😱
"I was always struck by the precision of his edits. If a certain sentence or structure had problems, he’d tell us exactly how to fix them.

In the mood for a little romance? ❤️❤️❤️
Sports journalist Jemele Hill got married yesterday and she shouted out my fave Lalah Hathway for one of her songs.
Shout out to @lalahhathaway because she was the inspiration behind what I had inscribed in my husband’s ring. It was Brand New. I consider this to be a perfect love song.
I was at @KamalaHarris's Veteran's Day event in Greenwood, SC today. I think something's happening w/ her campaign here that the national media isn't catching yet. First, Greenwood is the home of Edith Childs, who did the "fired up, ready to go" chant for @BarackObama in 2008. 1/
.@realDonaldTrump didn’t uphold his oath, but I intend to uphold mine.

“Insidious”, that’s how Ambassador Sondland describes the President’s extortion of a foreign country. Make sure you read the transcripts from his and Ambassador Volker’s depositions. pic.twitter.com/h8WBkG0plY
There’s been a whole load of corruption shit from iQ45. W/ all this extortion & bribery of foreign nations & looking at these obsequious republicans, am wondering yet again if same modus operandi is in effect w/ them. Or maybe they’re just simply to suicidal maniacs? Jaysus! Strange times when one can’t figure between the two. 😏

“Trump administration will end Fillipino veterans program.”
Sen. Mazie Hirono:
“To serve his pathological need to treat immigrants as cruelly as possible, and to undo any program ever created by Barack Obama, Donald Trump is dishonoring Filipino World War II veterans by ending the program that allows them to reunite their families in the United States. The President’s decision means many of these veterans in their 90s will likely die without seeing their families again.
The depths of Donald Trump’s inhumanity where immigrants are concerned knows no bottom, but not even the most loyal of his supporters can be in favor of disrespecting the brave and distinguished service of veterans who fought alongside Americans and helped us win the war. There is no purpose to keeping the families of the quickly diminishing number of Filipino World War II veterans separated. They have been ignored and disrespected by this country for decades. They deserve our thanks, not spite from their unhinged president.”

A shoutout to all of our veterans! You are constantly on my radar. My bill, Protect Our Veterans Benefits Act, would ensure veterans’ disability benefits can never be taken away! You deserve full support from all elected officials. Thank you for your service to our country!
Wow, that was EXCELLENT. Great questions from the audience and great answers. I especially liked her making the connection between poverty and childhood trauma and the compounding effects of gun violence on children. Thanks so much for posting, D.
May be why I have a spring in my step this morning:) Justice is coming

Watching Biden’s CNN town hall. Not an endorsement by any stretch but his experience is on full display, one of his best nights so far. Sharp and presidential.
He did. Gotta say I was pleasantly surprised that he killed that format! I don’t think the debate formats are his, but give him the stage and some great questions, and he’s on.

What is it with people on planes?
Rude and selfish
… and uncouth and nasty.
Yes
I would have called the flight attendants and made a scene.
Not mine. I can only hope
My Rafa played hurt and had a bad day at the office 😣

This bitch is crazy.
Speaking of crazy bitch
He’s crazy.
Thanks JER 🙂

America! Pay attention!
Senate or Cabinet ok (Commerce maybe). President at this point, nah.
I like Deval very much. He gave a GREAT rousing speech at 2012 Dem convention. But right now, people entering the race at this point are saying they don’t see anyone else they can support and I think that hurts Dems.
Agreed!
Absolutely. This is NOT the message we need right now
Correct. They should be behind the scenes supporting VP Biden. IMHO 🙂
Exactly. These folks are just plain simple.
Tied with a bow
WTH!
MERCY!!….it is very hard to keep up with this..
Always takes credit for someone else’s work
He clearly is koo koo
Not being snarky… he has mental health issues

Thanks meta for bringing the article here. It is very touching and well written.
You are most welcome, ggail. Hope all is well with you!
I’m hanging in there 😘
So say we all!!
I really, really like both of them too. Media makes me angry the way Karris, Castro and Booker are NOT covered. Hmm, what is similar in those three? 😣🥵😳😱
I like Kamala & Julian and believe they both deserve to be in President Biden’s Administration. Booker is still too wishy-washy for me.
Wow! 😆
That’s my soul up there! 🌝

This is really BEAUTIFUL

Seems he had a great night last night
