To be clear, Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee were strongly in favor of these secret sessions.

It was only a handful of liberal Democrats who objected, complaining that the House was effectively covering up the same damning evidence that Nixon's men had covered up. pic.twitter.com/Pe4pawwqPm

call to Duterte

Trump Phone Call to Duterte Left White House Staff ‘Genuinely Horrified’. Another Trumpian assault on democracy, on our country, on betrayed allies, on intelligence and leaves our nation in a weak, isolated and untrustworthy position in the world. https://t.co/QmakO71jxT

Sorry to say this but the “Don Jr” character that has been developed by the 2019 Writer’s Room is a poorly drawn caricature. It’s impossible to take the character seriously. https://t.co/xnKYcT1WSw

ambush

A grieving British family were surprised by a visit from President Trump who told them that the woman who had killed their son in a car crash was in a nearby room — and urged them to meet. White House photographers stood by waiting to capture the scene.https://t.co/UHA7qcVwjq

PENCE

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mike Pence flew to Turkey yesterday. Expected to meet with Erdogan to obtain a cease fire with Kurds and free Syria forces.
Erdogan refused to meet with Pence, saying he will only meet with Trump.
Mission fail.
Wasted trip.
Maybe he should have called first? pic.twitter.com/dpgG3n113Y

Cummings dies

 

 

 

 

“When we’re dancing with the angels, the question will be asked, in 2019, what did we do to make sure we kept our democracy intact? Did we stand on the sidelines and say nothing?” —Elijah Cummings (1951-2019)

— rebkah howard (@pink_funk) October 17, 2019

.

 

Elijah Cummings was the heart and soul of our caucus, a dignified leader with a voice that could move mountains.

He was our moral and ethical North Star. Now we will be guided by his powerful memory and incomparable legacy.

Rest In Peace, my friend.

House vote

 

 

 

 

 

The House voted 354-60 to demand President Trump reverse course in Syria.

Senator McConnell: Put the bill on the Senate floor.

There's no better way to pressure the President to undo his damaging, dangerous actions.
