Cohen sending signals

New: Michael Cohen has been telling associates he wants Trump to cover his legal fees, which he has said are “bankrupting” him. He says he feels Trump owes him after his years of loyalty, and he’s frustrated Trump hasn’t offered. w/@rebeccadobrien https://t.co/l8fr1aVYQH

when you lose Chuck Todd

Reminder, of the key 2016 Trump campaign players who haven’t been interviewed by Mueller is Parscale. He is part of a club that includes: Stone, Manafort, Don Jr and Cohen. They’ve all met w/Congress on Russia but not Mueller, hinting All five could be Mueller targets. https://t.co/QJqIwrUWfx

where are the girls?

Just heard from @HHSGov again:

Of the 11,786 minors currently in the unaccompanied alien children program, 3,280 are female and 8,506 are male.

We still don’t have photos of or acces to any girls or toddlers.

Republicans pray on Sunday.

Then, during the rest of the week, they prey on children and families through their tremendously indefensible and brutal policies.

It seems as if inflicting emotional and physical damage is part of their platform.
