Page Six: Rosario Dawson spotted at the movies with Cory Booker.

"The politically active Dawson has known Booker for years. The actress supported Sen. Bernie Sanders in 2016 and Green Party candidate Jill Stein."

Well well well.

Little history reminder.

"It is a story of politicians, especially then-Mayor Booker, with more ambition than attention span, leaving behind unfinished business — and students lagging years below grade level — as they climb the political ladder."

2013: "Ivanka Trump will host a fundraiser for Newark Mayor Cory Booker’s Senate bid next Wed. The event will be held at Ivanka Trump’s home on Park Ave. She & her husband, Jared Kushner, had bundled $41,000 for Booker’s Senate campaign as of May."

NEW: The Trump administration is planning to announce in the State of the Union a plan to shift more veterans’ health care to the private sector.
propublica.org/article/trump-…
The administration’s plan could cost ~$13.9B to $32.1B over 5 years, and send as many as 55% of veterans to private doctors, up from about 38% now.
propublica.org/article/trump-…
Those estimates could be low, since the costs are hard to predict.

FBI probing the NRA for using *illegal* #Russian🇷🇺money to help Trump win‼️

The NRA reported it spent a *record $55 million* on 2016 elections, including $30 million for Trump – TRIPLE what it spent for Mitt Romney in 2012.🤨 1/

amp.mcclatchydc.com/news/nation-wo…
Even WORSE:

👉🏼Most of the $55 million was spent by an arm of the NRA that is *not required to disclose its donors*
👉🏼Two people w/close connections to the NRA said its total election spending actually was *$70 million*

2/
The gap btwn the $55 million (reported) and $70 million (actual) may be b/c independent groups are *not required to report how much they spend on Internet ads or field operations*, including get-out-the-vote efforts‼️🤬 3/
