- The whole scandalous mess with the administration is kind of overwhelming. More information continues to come out in dribs and drabs. I recommend Shakesville's analysis.
- One drib is that Trump's explanation to the Russians about firing Comey was that he was a "nut job", and that firing him relieved pressure on the administration. That sounds like pandering, projection and wishful thinking.
- And today's drab is that the FBI's investigation includes a current senior figure in the administration (rumored to be Kushner). Both the drib and drab were published moments apart, just after Air Force One took off for the Middle East.
- Pence continues to be a fucking liar. Here's the proof. (Perhaps I'm too harsh. He might also just be grossly incompetent. But apparently that gets you elected as President nowadays...)
- The CDC has nearly 700 vacancies because of Trump's hiring freeze. Great. Just great.
- Because Trump and Republican can't get their facts/acts/stories straight, insurers around the nation are planning premium hikes for Obamacare marketplaces. Just what we need.
- Nonprofit organizations who provide lawyers for deportation cases are under attack from Session's Department of Justice, who have provided them with a cease and desist letter. This is shockingly perverse, and just what I'd expect from Sessions.
