CONFIRMED: @SenGillibrand is expected to announce plans to form a 2020 presidential exploratory committee on @colbertlateshow on Tuesday, according to a person familiar with her thinking.
@SenGillibrand @colbertlateshow The 52-year old is one of the most active and outspoken critics of President Trump and she earned acclaim from party activists when she began voting against all of the president’s Cabinet and senior government nominees in early 2017. (2/)
@SenGillibrand @colbertlateshow Gillibrand would join a Democratic presidential field beginning to take shape. @JulianCastro announced Saturday; @TulsiGabbard says she'll do so in the coming days. @ewarren launched her exploratory committee on New Year's Eve. Others expected soon. (3/)
@SenGillibrand @colbertlateshow @JulianCastro @TulsiGabbard @ewarren Tea leaves have been hung out to dry for Gillibrand in recent weeks: Her Senate chief of staff, Jess Fassler, and Meredith Kelly, ex-DCCC communications director are set to join senior staff of her presidential campaign. Sources have said Troy, NY may be home to campaign HQ. (4/)
@SenGillibrand @colbertlateshow @JulianCastro @TulsiGabbard @ewarren Policy highlights for Gillibrand? Pushes for changes in sexual misconduct policy at DOD; pushed for end of "don't ask, don't tell"; bigtime critic of Trump and his Cabinet secretaries; was 1st Dem senator to call on @alfranken to step down. (5/5)

PER INBOX: Already NO on Kavanaugh: Casey (D-Pa) Booker (D-NJ) Harris (D-CA) Van Hollen (D-Md) Udall (D-NM). WAITING & SEEING: Jones (D-AL) Hassan (D-NH) Cortez Masto (D-NV) Gardner (R-CO) Cotton (R-Ark.) Paul (R-Ky.). YES: Cornyn (R-TX), Boozman (R-Ark.) McConnell (R-KY)
From Sanders (I-Vt.): “I do not believe a person with those views should be given a lifetime seat on the Supreme Court. We must mobilize the American people to defeat Trump’s right-wing, reactionary nominee."
Collins (R-Maine) on the fence as expected: “I will conduct a careful, thorough vetting of the President’s nominee to the Supreme Court, as I have done with the five previous Supreme Court Justices whom I have considered.”

TOSS-UP: New @CBSNews Battleground Tacker projections say Democrats would retake the House — by just 1 West. Dive into the numbers here and join @SalvantoCBS and I later today on CBSN as we dive deeper into the numbers.
How do you rate the economy? Voters tell us 57% “Somewhat good;” 22% “Very good;” 17% “Somewjat bad;” and 4% “Very bad.”
More details from the @CBSNews Battleground Tracker ... like/dislike about Trump; opinion of congressional Republicans and Democrats

So, in my final @washingtonpost assignment, I've joined @mikedebonis and @ericawerner in culling the omnibus spending bill for some standout items and hidden gems. Here are some highlights...
ALZHEIMER’S AND BRAIN RESEARCH: $1.8B for federal research of Alzheimer’s disease, a $414M increase from previous years. Another $400M for the BRAIN Initiative, and $40M for the National Center for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
APPRENTICESHIPS: Federal money for apprenticeship programs jumps $50M and by $75M for career & technical education programs. A win for @ivankatrump: More $$ "for child care and early head start programs to help make it easier for job seekers to enter or return to the workforce.”

The inauguration paid the Trump Organization for rooms, meals and event space at its DC hotel, according to interviews as well as internal emails and receipts reviewed by WNYC and ProPublica. propublica.org/article/trump-…
If the Trump hotel charged more than the going rate for the venues, it could violate tax law. The inaugural committee’s payments to the Trump Organization and Ivanka Trump’s role have not been previously reported or disclosed in public filings.
“The fact that the inaugural committee did business with the Trump Organization raises huge ethical questions about the potential for undue enrichment,” said Marcus Owens, the former head of the division of the Internal Revenue Service that oversees nonprofits.

Jerome Corsi says himself that he expects to be indicted for perjury, then Roger Stone tells Ingraham that the SC is 'forcing Corsi to make false statements @ me'..they're both such liars/att'n whores that until the p/w drops in court I'm not buying it. ENOUGH speculation!
2/Any associate of either Jerome Corsi or Roger Stone is about as credible as those two clowns are..so if one is saying that Corsi is negotiating w Mueller for a plea agreement, again, I'll believe it when I see it. This could well be Trump diversion.

Someone call @EdWhelan123! We've got another doppelganger mystery to crack!

"Ms. Dolphin said she had never kissed Judge Kavanaugh. “I think Brett must have me confused with someone else, because I never kissed him,” she said through her lawyer."

Michael Walsh, another Georgetown Prep alumnus, also listed himself on his personal yearbook page as a “Renate Alumnus.” Alongside some song lyrics, he included a short poem: “You need a date / and it’s getting late / so don’t hesitate / to call Renate.”
Ms. [Renate] Dolphin was aware that members of Judge Kavanaugh’s clique were reciting that poem, according to a person familiar with her thinking.

She told the football players that she found it offensive, believing it made her seem like a CHEAP DATE, and she asked them TO STOP.

(8/16) Maria Butina moves to U.S. on student visa.
"Rather than question or confront [Butina]...officials decided to track her movements to determine whom she was meeting and what she was doing in the U.S. — the kind of monitoring that is not uncommon when foreign natls are suspected of working on behalf of a foreign gov't."
"She sidled up to GOP presidential candidates, seeking first an encounter with Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and then, after his rising candidacy stumbled, with Donald Trump."
