    That $110 billion Saudi arms deal the president keeps talking about? So far it's actually just $14.5 billion. How much is Trump personally getting from Saudi Arabia? He refuses to tell you. via

    Actually, no, this is false. Trump's administration is supporting a lawsuit that would end the ACA's guarantee of coverage regardless of pre-existing conditions.

    College educated women want safety, security and healthcare protections – very much along with financial and economic health for themselves and our Country. I supply all of this far better than any Democrat (for decades, actually). That’s why they will be voting for me!

    As deficit jumps, Trump orders all agencies to cut 5%. That's relative pittance. Again GOP is cutting "discretionary" money for about all govt does--from educ to med resrch to forecasting storms--which isn't growing. M'care, SocSec & M'aid are. Tax cuts=entitlement cuts ultim'ly.

    So many times on the campaign trail I would hear Trump say something, and point out "He's totally lying," and other reporters would shrug and say that his base loved it and he was connecting.

    "Why should I tell you?"

    . insists he’s not providing cover to Saudi Arabia in Khashoggi case. Would not say if he’s directed to investigate. “Maybe we have... why should I tell you?” Trump also said he asked Turkey for audio/video evidence of murder “if it exists.”

    This is 100 percent dead on. Too many political reporters act like they are sports reporters.

    "One of the preconditions for the success of Trump’s method is a news media that will devote far more attention to grading the effectiveness of Trump’s bullying than its truth." :

    Trump claims Cohen “wasn’t in trouble for what he did for me.” Not true. Cohen pleaded to a campaign finance violation, which was the Stormy payment.

    There will now be a time and a place for that agent to answer questions — about his efforts to prevent our reporter from speaking with Kushner. Last night the Secret Service announced it had initiated a formal review. We’ll keep you posted.

    0:21
    Jared Kushner did not answer my question and the secret service informs me, while obscuring my phone, that despite identifying as WH press, there is a “time and a place” for questions. It is unclear when and where that is.

    to be clear Cruz also led the push to *shut down the government* over this

    Cruz, who lead the charge to repeal Obamacare, says in his closing argument he wants to save protections for pre existing conditions.

    VP Mike Pence: "It's important that the world know the truth - if in fact Mr. Khashoggi was murdered, we need to know who was responsible. We need to hold those responsible. It's even more important that he was a member of a free and independent press."

    Fun fact: the deficit would be shockingly close to zero today with Clinton-era tax levels.

    He was asked during the campaign what was the most dangerous place he'd been and he said Oakland.

    Yeah. Looks like Saudi Arabia is totally cooperating. They apparently repainted some rooms in the consulate. And the consul general left Turkey Tuesday to return to Saudi Arabia.
