Dem House win is critical to protect Mueller from Acting AG Whitaker-a Trump crony refusing to follow DOJ ethics advice to recuse. Whitaker won't set a date to testify to House Judiciary. . now chairs & can subpoena him.

NEW: Pentagon chief of staff Kevin Sweeney is resigning, marking yet another key departure from the Pentagon. This comes just after Defense Secretary James Mattis resigned over Trump's impulsive decision to pull US troops out of Syria.

Why was a Democratic takeover of the House crucial? Real institutional power which includes the ability to subpoena. Case in point: The House is preparing to investigate the North Carolina election () that appears stolen if NC certifies the results.

We have over 2 years of evidence that Trump consistently lies about stuff (both mundane & consequential) and frequently acts against the interests of the United States, often in a way beneficial to our geopolitical enemies. Unfortunately, Avi's read of the situation is accurate.

Worth noting, the implication here is one of two things: 1) There truly is a national emergency & Trump is arbitrarily refusing to declare one. 2) There's no national emergency & Trump is pushing a lie that there is one to get his way. Pick your poison.

POTUS’ latest temper tantrum is not about border security. Like a spoiled two year old holding his breath, he is holding our nation hostage—trying to force taxpayers to foot the bill for his vanity project he promised Mexico would fund. Meanwhile, the country suffers.

Potentially fulfilling one of his key campaign promises (to Putin), Trump will lift sanctions on Russian oligarch, close Putin ally & Manafort lender Oleg . Unless the Republican Senate agrees to override the Treasury Dept., Trump will succeed.

Trump’s wall shutdown is a case study for populist governance. Leader makes ridiculous campaign promise to exploit voter anxiety, comes to power, faces mounting corruption probes, then tries desperately to implement the promise to keep base, causing broad government dysfunction.

BREAKING NEWS: Trump just threatened to use his “emergency powers” to deploy the military to build his Great Wall without permission from Congress. This deserves much more attention than it’s getting — so far. Watch this space.

The Democrats have the House, so we can breathe a little, right? Take a bit of a break from calling, marching, writing? Sorry, no. If you want to see change, now is the time to ramp up. Here's why:

Both Republicans & Democrats are upset with Mitt Romney. (For very different reasons.) 's take is worth the read & adds perspective - specifically that R's are unhappy because Romney told the truth about Trump. We won't always agree, but they are worth a follow.

Jeanne Shaheen is threatening to block the Trump admin's invite of a sanctioned Russian official to visit the US. Dmitry Rogozin is barred for his role in Moscow's annexation of Crimea. Rogozin is an ultranationalist known for racist, homophobic rhetoric.
