The GOP will not be playing by *Any Rules*.

Imagine the football game where we throw out our players for unnecessary roughness, yet the refs are owned by the other team & let them carry and use baseball bats.

It's against the rules, yes. But who is going to stop them?

Now Trump's gonna re-do the golf course at Joint Base Andrews

Add that to ripping out the rose garden, revamping a Qatari 747, building a HUGE gilded WH ballroom, renaming Kennedy Center, building a WH tennis pavilion, gilding the Oval Office, etc, etc, etc

Today, we're learning why DOJ didn't release the redacted files last March. Because the multitude of redactions exposes how much they're covering up.

Garcia: In our initial estimation—It could be that we're only getting about 10% of what the DOJ has. And of that 10%, 5% of that has already been released. And the other 5% is highly redacted. So we're getting very little so far

Elise Stefanik did an event in her north country home district on Thursday and found the local crowd, in a ruby-red area, was intensely hostile to her. It was one of the reasons leading her to decide it was time to quit politics and move on. www.timesunion.com/state/articl...

The federal government shutdown became the longest in history on Wednesday. It’s now in its 37th day.

And a new poll is the latest sign that it could remain pretty stubborn in the days ahead. https://cnn.it/3WJPMXr

This is actually the fourth time Trump has failed to indict Letitia James:

1. Erik Seibert refused to
2. Lindsey Halligan wasn't lawfully appointed
3. DOJ tried again and failed last week
4. DOJ tried again and failed today

Their closing message to Indiana: change your maps to artificially benefit the President's political party or 'roads will not be paved' as punishment.

They are openly saying this.

Who would want to live in a country that works like that?

‼️ Daily reminder. You have a sexual predator in the WH. Hold him & everyone involved accountable.

The survivors deserve justice.
The public deserves answers.
The predators deserve consequences.

Support survivors, not predators & accomplices.

Wild that even in Indiana the GOP finally found a line they couldn’t cross. If your gerrymander is so extreme that a Republican Senate says ‘absolutely not,’ you know you cooked it. Democracy wins today.

ANTIFA isn't rolling through American cities assaulting people, kidnapping them off the street, taking them out of the country & dumping bodies, blowing up boats & killing civilians, pirating oil tankers and stuff like that.

Imagine serving as a Marine and then having a distinguished career in the FBI investigating actual terrorist threats and then having to go in front of Congress and say you’re afraid of Antifa. Absolutely humiliating.
GLASHEEN: Antifa is our primary concern right now. That's the most immediate violent threat we're facing

BENNIE THOMPSON: Where is antifa headquartered?

GLASHEEN: ... ... ... we are building out the infrastructure right now

THOMPSON: What does that mean?
