Damian Paletta is the Washington Post's White House economic policy reporter and before we get into the much-discussed piece he wrote over the weekend, How regulators, Republicans and big banks fought for a big increase in lucrative but risky corporate loans, let's look at which current members of Congress have taken the most in bribes from the Finance Sector.
We've covered her quite a bit before but in case you've forgotten, Brandy X. Lee is a forensic psychiatrist at Yale, best known for the bestseller, The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 37 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President. Friday she penned an OpEd for the New York Daily News, Trump’s mental condition seems to be getting worse: He should subject himself to a rigorous assessment now.
Democratic Hopefuls by Nancy OhanianTomorrow the House Judiciary Committee is scheduled to vote on whether or not to subpoena the Mueller report. Despite the House having voted 420-0 to urge Barr to release the report-- and despite the fact that polls consistently show that something like 75% of American voters want to see the full report, I can predict the exact vote tomorrow.
Jake Tapper: "Do you think [Biden's behavior toward women] is disqualifying for him?" Lucy Flores: "For me it's disqualifying."by Thomas NeuburgerListen to the clip above in which Lucy Flores talks with CNN's Jake Tapper about Joe Biden's "completely inappropriate" behavior toward her and other women.

Vice President Mike Pence-ilneck has been out parroting Trumpanzee's line about the collusion delusion. The Russia hoax is finally dead? Except for his pathetic dead end followers, Americans don't believe that.
Forty-five years after Congress passed the War Powers Act in the wake of the Vietnam War, it has finally used it for the first time, to try to end the U.S.-Saudi war on the people of Yemen and to recover its constitutional authority over questions of war and peace. This hasn’t stopped the war yet, and President Trump has threatened to veto the bill.
A new new poll from Quinnipiac shows the whole country is of one mind when it comes to the real Robert Mueller Report rather than William Barr's absurd press release. Now that Republicans have been lulled into believing the report exonerates Trump-- which it doesn't-- they join normal people in wanting to see it. 84% of Americans want to see it made public, while just 9% think it should stay sealed.
