“Actions by federal regulators and Republicans in Congress over the past two years have paved the way for banks and other financial companies to issue more than $1 trillion in risky corporate loans.” washingtonpost.com/business/econo…
GOP’s corporate greed just another shit show Dems will have to clean up after the Mob party goes to prison. This gets old...
“The moves undercut policies put in place by banking regulators 6 years ago that aimed to prevent high-risk lending from once again damaging the economy.”
“Now, regulators and even White House officials are struggling to comprehend the scope and potential dangers of the massive pool of credits, known as leveraged loans, they helped create.”

Good question.
“When the Defense Department flunked its first-ever fiscal review, one of our government’s greatest mysteries was exposed: Where does the DoD’s $700 billion annual budget go?” apple.news/AinD75q9yTBe-X…
“Ahead of misappropriation, fraud, theft, overruns, contracting corruption and other abuses that are almost certainly still going on, the Pentagon’s first problem is its books. It’s the world’s largest producer of wrong numbers, an ingenious bureaucratic system...”
AT THE TAIL END of the year, the Department of Defense finally completed an audit. At a cost of $400 million...They could only offer no opinion, explaining the military’s empire of hundreds of acronymic accounting silos was too illogical to penetrate.”

“A small Russian bank owned by former U.S. congressman Charles Taylor has been stripped of its license after allegedly breaking anti-money laundering rules.” apple.news/AHlDZ_v9_R56Dv…
“Taylor, a Republican widely considered a hard-line conservative, was a congressman from North Carolina between 1991 and 2007. Central bank records show Taylor owns more than 80 percent of CBI...”
“Taylor represented North Carolina’s 11th district from 1991 to 2007. In his freshman term, together with Newt Gingrich, he was part of the so-called Gang of Seven that investigated a House banking scandal that fueled the perception of corruption in the lower chamber...”

"Some members of Mueller’s team are concerned that, because Barr created the first narrative of the special counsel’s findings, Americans’ views will have hardened before the investigation’s conclusions become public."
"The special counsel’s investigators had already written multiple summaries of the report & some team members believe that Barr should have included more of their material in the 4-page letter he wrote on March 24 laying out their main conclusions..."

Thread: On the Most Pressing Domestic Issues of Our Time

1. This is one man’s summary of the most pressing domestic issues facing the American Republic at the present time. There are presented in a rough order of priority.
2. #ObamaGate. This is the sum of the weaponization of the federal government against Americans during Obama’s presidency, with emphasis on the illegal surveillance of domestic political opponents that we now refer to as #Spygate.
3. The damage done by the likes of the criminal firm of “Clapper, Comey and Brennan” is incalculable. The number of people involved is astounding, including the willing (and at least partially paid) participation of the legacy media.

Today’s #FDA #SundayTweetorial is personal. I look back at what we've accomplished at FDA to advance innovations to benefit patients, promote policies to protect consumers, and address public health challenges during the two years I've shared these experiences with my colleagues.
I was truly fortunate to arrive at #FDA at an inflection point in medicine, health, and science – during a time when new discoveries, made right down to the molecular level, offer the potential to transform health, protect consumers, and cure disease in fundamentally novel ways.
Each novel medical technology challenged #FDA to be nimble and creative in its approach to product evaluation so that innovation would not only advance efficiently to benefit patients but do so while strengthening the agency’s gold standard for safety and effectiveness.

Here is Michael Cohen’s opening statement in full: Chairman Cummings, Ranking Member Jordan, and Members of the Committee, thank you for inviting me here today. I have asked this Committee to ensure that my family be protected from Presidential threats
and that the Committee be sensitive to the questions pertaining to ongoing investigations. Thank you for your help and for your understanding. I am here under oath to correct the record, to answer the Committee’s questions truthfully
and to offer the American people what I know about President Trump. I recognize that some of you may doubt and attack me on my credibility. It is for this reason that I have incorporated into this opening statement documents that are irrefutable

Today is a good day to remind every American that CONGRESS is supposed to be the most powerful branch of government, not a slave to a demagogic president's every whim. #116thCongress #SpeakerPelosi
Indeed, there was a time period in US history when the Speaker of the House was about to become the leader-in-all-but-name of the US government with the President just a figurehead; a series of "strong" Presidents and weak Speakers consolidated power in the Executive, however.
President Trump is a very weak leader. He's whimsical, ignorant and unfocused.

Congress over the past two years could have increased its power at the expense of the Executive if it so choose; Congressional Republican leaders, however, instead chose to be even weaker than Trump.

2/"The date was Oct. 23, 2010 — nearly two years into President Barack Obama’s first term and two weeks before the first midterm elections of his presidency. Speaking to the National Journal, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) made a now-infamous statement:
