I have never thought that Putin’s hold on Trump relies on Russia having compromising evidence of a sexual adventure. Trump would not fear that, he would be proud of it. What Trump really fears is the hit to his ego if Putin ever told the world Trump really didn’t win.

We aren't talking enough about the fact that today we found out that the Russian government stole the identities of 500,000 American voters AND hacked a company used to VERIFY voter registration. Trump only won by 70,000 votes in 3 states.

I was just arrested with 500+ women and @WomensMarch to say @RealDonaldTrump’s cruel zero-tolerance policy will not continue. Not in our country. Not in our name. June 30 we’re putting ourselves in the street again. Join us. Familiesbelongtogether.org

The most successful people I've met: 1. Focus on what matters 2. Make rational decisions 3. Avoid pointless arguments 4. Don't get sucked into bikeshedding 5. Hold non-dogmatic beliefs 6. Use spaces not tabs 7. Use vim not emacs

Marshall: "We have a President who clearly got a great deal of assistance from Russia in getting elected. We can argue about how important it was to his victory. But the reality of the help is not in any real dispute" bit.ly/2JtKqsb

Does anyone think for one second that the founders ever thought the head of the executive was or should be above the law? To think, we may actually have to pass a Constitutional Amendment to declare that a potus can’t pardon themselves. #sad xitter.cf/realdonaldtrump/status…
As has been stated by numerous legal scholars, I have the absolute right to PARDON myself, but why would I do that when I have done nothing wrong? In the meantime, the never ending Witch Hunt, led by 13 very Angry and Conflicted Democrats (& others) continues into the mid-terms!

The Supreme Court has interpreted the acceptance of a pardon as an admission of guilt. So Trump's pardon of Trump would be Trump's confession. xitter.cf/realDonaldTrump/status…

Twitter is both a place where you can discover smart people and insightful ideas and a place to be bombarded with pointless nitpicking and endless outrage. It's like having coffee with the world's brightest thinkers while the most annoying person in your life sits one table over.

What will Trump do, as Mueller circles closer? Try to sack him? Or start a war as a distraction? ind.pn/2yXk0ub

Remember, Trump barely knows Manafort. Manafort only lives in his building, ran his campaign, & continued to advise him in the White House.
