Nearly a third of Iowa’s energy comes from wind power, and the Hawkeye State uses a greater percentage of it than any other state in the country.

Trying to use the popular former president to suppress the vote won’t discourage Democrats in Georgia – it’ll only motivate them more.
Polls showing the president this close to a majority approval rating are impossible to come by because they don’t exist, so it’s no surprise that the insecure Trump would lean on an outlier survey from a GOP-leaning pollster.
“We have not had one hearing, not one open discussion. And I should think that every Republican should be embarrassed by this, and I know that many of them are embarrassed by it.”

The fact that Mike Pence is now lawyering up suggests that, while he has largely flown under the radar with respect to the Russia scandal, he may have reason to worry after all.

The investigation into Kushner – Trump’s son-in-law and most trusted advisor – appears to have escalated yet again.
“We are a country that has a huge amount of gun violence, an internationally unparalleled level of gun violence and an internationally unparalleled frequency of multiple victim, mass shooting events.”
Republicans may have spent the first few months of Trump’s presidency cowardly refusing to hold him accountable, but even they are starting to recognize his days in the White House may be numbered.

Since Trump’s emergence as a political figure, bashing the Muslim community has been one of his biggest applause lines among his supporters.

Murphy didn’t explicitly call for the impeachment of the president, but his comments suggest that Democrats are becoming more comfortable heading down that road.
Republicans may be forced to remove a portion of their legislation that would essentially doom the bill – again.
If this is the new strategy from the Trump administration – to just remain silent when the American people demand answers – then Congress better come up with a way to fight back, and fast.
Republicans in the House of Representatives are about to dismantle financial reforms enacted by President Obama after the Great Recession.
The poll also found that a staggering 60 percent of Americans believe the president’s relationship with Moscow is either “illegal” or “unethical.”

It’s clear where the political energy is in this country right now, and it’s not with Donald Trump.

Leaders from across the country are proving that one man without any grasp of reality – even if he’s the president – will not hijack the global effort to tackle this growing threat.
The White House rushed to lift sanctions that the Obama administration imposed on Russia for interfering in the 2016 election.

Republicans say they are just two months away from getting enough votes to take health insurance away from millions of Americans.
If he had a third meeting with Kislyak last year, as the new reporting suggests, it would be not the first or second time the attorney general lied about his meetings Russian officials – it would be the third.
The fact that there is widespread disagreement and confusion in the White House surrounding the Paris climate accord could signal that Trump may back away from his promise to “cancel” the agreement.
Trump is making a move that clearly panders to his base of voters, but it’s a move that will hurt millions of women in America and make abortion more frequent.
Not only did the Russians successfully interfere in last year’s presidential election to help Trump become president, but now they are successfully shaping U.S. policy in their favor.
Flynn needs to hand over every last shred of paperwork relevant to this probe, not hand over a few to give off the impression that he is being transparent.
If the Russians wanted to influence Trump, Kushner would be one of the top people they would use – and it appears Kushner had no problem offering his assistance.
Deciding whether to protect the environment or uphold some empty campaign rhetoric is a no-brainer for everybody but Donald Trump.
“What did he intend to transmit through Russia’s secure cryptographic systems to communicate with Vladimir Putin? The presidential daily briefing? The nuclear codes?”
There are still many unanswered questions, but one thing is clear: Russia’s attempt to turn Trump into their puppet has been a wild success.

A thorough and independent investigation into Trump is a top priority, but Democrats should not lose sight of issues that affect working Americans every day.
Recusal means nothing to those close to this president, especially since they know the facts are increasingly pushing this presidency toward complete collapse.

The New York Times just added fuel to the raging dumpster fire threatening to take down this White House.
Administration officials are trying to remain calm in public, but privately, they know the train is coming off the track.
Donald Trump knows that the longer this investigation goes on, the more likely it is that he will be forced out of office.
If there is anything the past week has taught us, it’s that Trump’s campaign promises weren’t totally empty after all.
The President of the United States is either knowingly handing over highly classified intelligence to a foreign adversary or he isn’t smart enough to know what constitutes classified information.
Trump isn’t just leaking classified info, but he doesn’t seem to know what is and isn’t classified to begin with. Perhaps he should read his one-page briefings.
Last summer, referencing Hillary Clinton, Ryan said: “Individuals who are ‘extremely careless’ with classified information should be denied further access to such information.”
National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster issued what could only be described as a non-denial denial.

The Trump administration was so desperate to fire the FBI director that they used Clinton campaign material to justify it.
“There’s nobody left in America who believes that Donald Trump fired James Comey … because James Comey was mean to Hillary Clinton.”
“This investigation must be run as far away as possible from this White House and as far away as possible from anyone that President Trump has appointed.”
Why is Sessions involved in this decision if he has supposedly recused himself from all things related to Russia?
While Republicans are banking on their repeal efforts to excite the base of their party, it’s becoming clear that they are in over their heads.
Maddow said Trump’s move to distract from the Sally Yates hearing was the most “cynical” thing she has seen in politics in “many, many years.”
“The White House should be going through a full lifestyle polygraph to determine was Michael Flynn just an individual liar or did he have accomplices?”
Not only did Yates best the White House and its GOP allies on the facts, but she also destroyed them on the optics, which may be even more important to the former reality star president.
Maddow interviewed a woman with a brain tumor who was promised by her GOP congressman that he would oppose Trumpcare. Today, he voted for it.
“I would predict that in less than seven years, we’ll be in a single-payer system. That’s the great irony of this.”

Americans are quickly mobilizing to defeat vulnerable GOP candidates who voted in favor the disastrous legislation.
Clinton encouraged Americans to support Democratic candidates in swing districts represented by Republicans who voted for Trumpcare.
Members of Congress who put their name on this legislation should save themselves the time and not even launch a re-election campaign.
