Wall Street-Owned GOP Threatening To Take Obama’s Retirement Money Because Of $400K Speech
Even when Barack Obama isn’t in the White House, Republicans in Congress are trying to bring him down.
Sean Colarossi currently resides in Cleveland, Ohio. He earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in Journalism from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and was an organizing fellow for both of President Obama’s presidential campaigns. He also worked with Planned Parenthood as an Affordable Care Act Outreach Organizer in 2014, helping northeast Ohio residents obtain health insurance coverage.
Even when Barack Obama isn’t in the White House, Republicans in Congress are trying to bring him down.

Murphy said that Trump should stop whining about not getting his way and start learning how to run the government.
Warren called Trump’s support of a government shutdown “staggeringly irresponsible.”
After being called out for his poor grasp of history, Trump just made matters much worse.
It’s never too early to start profiting from the next campaign, apparently.
Not only is Trump still ignorant about the world he leads, but it now appears he’s turning foreign policy into a form of entertainment for his rich friends.
“If you want to turn this president to stone, ask him about Mike Flynn.”
There is more to foreign policy than showing off America’s ships. Hopefully, the commander-in-chief will soon realize that.
Democrats are getting ready to wage a legal battle against Donald Trump on the basis that his business entanglements have put him in violation of the U.S. Constitution.
“If your plan for comprehensively overhauling that tax code is one page, double-spaced, with deep indents and almost no numbers, that’s a lot of things, but that’s not a tax plan.”
“We’ve got to join the rest of the world and guarantee health care to all of our people as a right.”
Trump wanted to remind everybody in the room that he was, in fact, still president, before ditching the meeting and letting the “grown ups” deal with the national security crisis.
If Trump can’t even turn to Fox News for an optimistic view of his presidency, then where can he turn?
“This White House has made a decision that they will produce absolutely nothing. I’ve not seen this before, and it sets a very dangerous precedent.”
That’s right: Trump just lost a trade battle with Mexico – over tuna fish.
“More and more information is coming out about the connections of the Trump allies and some people in his cabinet and their connections to Russia, and it’s only going to get worse.”
Trump failed to get his Mexico-funded wall along the southern border, so now he’s threatening a trade war with our allies to the north.
At a time when stability and competence are more important than ever, we have a president who has none of those qualities – in fact, he’s the polar opposite.

If this is the GOP’s secret weapon in keeping control of the hotly contested seat, then they’re in big trouble.
If this type of behavior precludes somebody from hosting a one-hour talk show, then it certainly should disqualify a man from holding the most powerful and prestigious office in the world.

If Democrats can ride this wave into 2018, they could very well outperform expectations in a year which Republicans are expected to do well.
These numbers aren’t just exactly what the Democrats were hoping for going into Tuesday’s special election – they’re even better.
The night is young and there is a long way to go, but Jon Ossoff appears to be performing well where it counts – at least for now.
Instead of allowing the young man to retrieve proof of his DACA protections and stay in the country, he was shipped back to Mexico.
According to a recent poll, Ossoff’s support is just over 45 percent – not far from the 50 percent he needs to avoid a June run-off.
“That’s the dumbest question I’ve ever heard anybody ask on television. You call yourself a political commentator and you ask a stupid question like that, Jeffrey?”
Being a Democratic candidate in Georgia isn’t always easy, particularly in the district he is hoping to represent, but Ossoff is doing it right.
Things took a bad turn for Tom Cotton after he defended Trump for refusing to release his tax returns.

As the Russia scandal becomes increasingly explosive, so too does Donald Trump’s foreign policy.
Maddow laid out how the new administration isn’t even trying to pretend to respect the freedom of the press.
Democrats will win elections when they go to all parts of the country and explain that their policies are better for average Americans.
This is just another reason why Donald Trump needs to release his tax returns so we know exactly the extent of his financial ties to Russia.
Manafort claimed he was an unpaid member of the Trump campaign – if you don’t count the millions he received from Trump-affiliated businesses after stepping down.
No matter what happens, this is a good night for Democrats in Kansas and across the country.
“One congressional intelligence source described the requests made by [Susan Rice] as ‘normal and appropriate’ for officials who serve in that role to the president.”
“This is the clearest evidence so far that the FBI had reason to believe during the 2016 presidential campaign that a Trump campaign adviser was in touch with Russian agents.”
“Clearly, I’m aware of [the atrocities of the Holocaust],” Spicer said. “I should’ve just stayed on topic”
While the rest of cable news fawns over Trump’s ineffective and unauthorized strike in Syria, Maddow didn’t flinch.
“Reince Priebus is a nice man, a good administrator in some ways, but he is not adult supervision for this man-baby president.”
Not only was the commander-in-chief’s publicity stunt in Syria a political failure, but most Americans believe it was a strategic flop, too.
It’s become a staple of the Republican Party – do as I say, not as I do, especially when it comes to sexual behavior.

McCaffrey said it would be a “mistake” to conduct “limited political signaling” in response to Bashar al-Assad’s chemical attack on his own people.
As Trump continues to spew nonsensical word salad about how he plans to deal with the humanitarian crisis in Syria, Hillary Clinton reminded us why she should be commander-in-chief.
“The people who work for you literally have no idea what you mean or what they should be doing.”
It’s up to Fox News to choose what’s more important to them – making money while fostering an environment of sexual assault, or doing the right thing.
“I really wish that there was some way we could rein him in. I wish that our foreign affairs experts could somehow get his ear and at least tell him to shut up, to just stop it.”
Trump didn’t make a single peep about Russia’s denials in today’s rambling news conference. Instead, he bragged about his still-secret plan to resolve the crisis in Syria and threw a tantrum about Barack Obama.
Not only is the latest version of Trumpcare already doomed to fail, but it’s guaranteed to drag Republicans down with it.
Merkley’s decision to hold the floor over the Gorsuch nomination comes as Republicans plan to hold a vote to change the Senate rules.
The claim by Ivanka Trump that she is a force for good rang hollow as the president recently signed an executive order that would be anything but good for American women.
“No matter what the White House throws at us, we’re going to be pressing forward.”
The congressman has access to more intelligence than the average member of Congress.
The move by Trump is a body blow to advocates of internet privacy and a win for internet service providers.
The Nationals were able to secure their first win of the season on Monday. Trump, on the other hand, is still winless.
No matter how hard the president tries, this explosive scandal isn’t going anywhere.
If there was a time for the president to revive Trumpcare, now would not be it.
Now we know why many of Trump’s proposals, from his disastrous health care legislation to his proposed budget cuts, would hurt the “little guy” and benefit the wealthy.
Democrats are taking this investigation seriously, while Republicans are bending over backward to protect the GOP president.
With members of Congress like Maxine Waters calling them out, Trump and the White House will not get away with lying about or diverting attention from their clear ties to Russia.

If the Trump campaign worked with Russia to sway the 2016 election, the American people want the president to start packing his bags.
It’s not clear why Comey didn’t seek other avenues of making this information available to the public before they chose the next president.

The colossal failure of Donald Trump and Republicans to agree on a plan to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act is already having wide-ranging effects.
“Don’t allow these right-wing talking heads, these dishonorable people to intimidate you or scare you. Be who you are, do what you do.”
As the investigation into Trump’s ties to Russia continues to heat up, the president is desperately hoping to distract his way out of it.
“Too many women, especially women of color, have had a lifetime of practice taking precisely these kinds of indignities in stride.”
Even though Republicans are scrambling to move on from their health care collapse, the epic GOP humiliation lives on.
Trump’s Monday night tweets weren’t the words of somebody who is confident in his innocence. They’re the rantings of a man who is terrified of being caught.
As Nunes refuses to back away from an investigation he can’t be trusted to run, Democrats continue to put pressure on him to step aside.
