Day 742 of NO EVIDENCE produced by Trump that his phones were tapped by Obama.
The FISA warrant Trump referenced targeted Carter Page. #TrumpLies
Day 530 since the deadliest mass shooting on U.S soil in Las Vegas that killed 58, injuring 546.
Although a bump stock ban takes effect in 2 days, Congress must take action to prevent future mass shootings. #NeverForget #NeverAgain #EnoughIsEnough
An armed domestic abuser shot and killed a woman with whom he’d had an on-and-off relationship inside a bank in Alpharetta, Georgia.
Just another day in America.

If you don’t think the Trump administration, the @NRA and Fox News aren’t all working together to juice gun sales, you’re not paying attention.
US to keep 1,000 troops in Syria months after Trump called for complete withdrawal: report

FYI: The Trump admin has quietly resumed separating immigrant families at the border.
At one agency, the children were put into temporary foster care and shelters with little or no indication that they arrived at the border with their parents: propub.li/2QcsPvY
Reminder: The Trump administration is systematically locking up thousands of children at unheard of rates - now almost 15,000 are in U.S. custody.
The government classifies these children as "unaccompanied"

Thousands more kids may have been separated from their parents at the border under the Trump administration than was previously thought, according to an internal government report.

Trumpworld seems extra agitated today
Does this signal some damaging news is coming?
Saudi Crown Prince authorized a campaign of rendition, detention and torture a year before Khashoggi’s killing. W/@NYTBen

Some of the clandestine missions were carried out by members of the same team that killed & dismembered Khashoggi, suggesting that his killing was a particularly egregious part of a wider campaign to silence Saudi dissidents. nyti.ms/2W5YDkY
Day 31 since Trump declared a national emergency in response to a manufactured crisis to seize power and subvert the Constitution.
"I didn't need to do this"
@MickMulvaneyOMB claims no programs scheduled to start in 2019 will be impacted by emergency declaration, adding: “there's no list of projects that are absolutely going to not be funded...” He added he expects the veto override to fail in the House.
Sen. @timkaine: White House is withholding information on military projects being cut because they fear losing votes if Congress saw what would “be ransacked to pay for the president's wall.”
Donald Trump "may fabricate" another national emergency to remain in power after 2020, Harvard's Laurence Tribe says.

Donald Trump often claimed to be "first in his class" at Wharton. However ... washingtonpost.com/news/retropoli…
When former British diplomat Andrew Wood first told John McCain about the Steele dossier AFTER the 2016 election, Wood recalled that McCain was "visibly shocked." McCain's response, per Wood: "My first thought has to be for my country."

Trump once again threatens to use the power of the federal government to punish a satire show because he doesn't like that they make fun of him.
Well it WAS a re-run, so it would make sense that it was repetitive.
Instead of pressuring GM to restore operations at its Lordstown, OH production plant, Trump is tweeting at the @UAW Local President David Green telling him to “get his act together and produce.”
Green wrote to Trump last year. Trump ignored it.
Trump's St. Patrick’s Day tweetstorm continues. First, McCain, SNL, Fox executives, GM and autoworkers union. Now, Fox weekend news anchors...
Trump has posted 13 tweets that are either about Fox News or are a video clip from Fox News since Friday.
By 3pm ET, Trump this weekend has attacked:
- Fox News weekend anchors
- McCain twice
- Mueller report
- GM
- Local UAW leader
- HRC
- SNL
- Christopher Steele
- Dems
- Paris climate deal
- Retweeted attacks on Mueller, McCabe, HRC

@timkaine: white nationalism is “on the rise and the president should call it out but sadly he's not doing that,” adding that “[Trump] is using language that emboldens them”
Margaret Brennan points out that Trump had called for a Muslim ban and said "Islam hates us."
Mulvaney: "Well, take the words and put them in one category and take the actions and put them in another"
“I don't think anybody can say that the president is anti-Muslim,“ acting WH chief of staff Mick Mulvaney says on “Face the Nation“
Trump's first executive action was trying to ban Muslims from coming to the U.S.
Flashback:
Former U.S. Attorney @PreetBharara: doesn’t seem to me that “the work of the special counsel is ending anytime soon…”
Trump's unhinged tweets today seem to reinforce Preet's theory.
Trump’s budget — his own budget — projects debt held by the public will hit $22.8 trillion by 2025, more than 50 percent higher than the year he took office.
(also, that's AFTER deep cuts to education and health care)

“In conversations on Air Force One and in the White House, Trump has acted out scenes of self-driving cars veering out of control and crashing into walls. He's said he doesn't think autonomous vehicles make sense, according to four sources...”

Eduardo Bolsonaro — Brazil President Jair Bolsonaro’s son and a congressman from São Paulo — sporting a “Make Brazil Great Again” hat after an event with Steve Bannon at the Trump hotel in DC
#emolumentsclause
Brazil’s Bolsonaro says staying at Blair House (across from the White House) is “an honor bestowed on very few heads of state.” It is actually the standard lodging for visiting heads of state.
Based on information from captured #ISIS members, an estimated 5,000 fighters and their families remain in #Baghouz, according to SDF spox @KinoGabriel1
On a sparkling, crisp spring Sunday morning, daffodils and crocuses in bloom, Trump... tweeted. And tweeted. And tweeted. @agearan on Trump’s Lenten day of grievances. wapo.st/2TUg2zs?tid=ss…
Every president since Nixon has voluntarily given their tax returns. Trump hasn’t.
There’s a reason for that, he has a lot to hide.
Washington Senate passes bill that would keep Trump off 2020 ballot unless he releases tax returns
