"The first order of business is to try to cool the room down," Sen. Graham says while starting the hearing with William Barr. Yup, it's hot in here, literally and figuratively.
Sen. Graham is praising the Mueller report. “It was well written” and “very thorough.”
Sen. Graham is saying that Mueller had the cooperation he needed from Trump, the White House and his campaign.

That's definitely not true.

Rep. Nadler opening statement — "We must come together to protect the integrity of this chamber. The administration may not dictate the terms of a hearing in this hearing room. The challenge we face is bigger than a single witness."
"The president of the United States was desperately to prevent Congress . . . . from providing any check whatsoever, even on his most reckless decisions," Rep. Nadler says
"If we don't stand up to him together, today, we risk forever losing the power to stand up to any president in the future. The very system of government of United States . . . the system of not having a president as a dictator is very much at stake," Rep. Nadler says

I'm reading Robert Mueller's report right now. Here's a efw highlights.
The Russian government's interference was conducted in "sweeping and systematic fashion."

Trump has often downplayed or outright denied Moscow's role.
Mueller didn't establish a conspiracy with Russia, but "the Campaign expected it would benefit electorally from information stolen and released through Russian efforts."

Senator Graham: "can't say I've read it all, but I've read most of it."

Here's my Trump FY2020 budget thread, which I'll be updating throughout the day.

To start us off, the Trump budget calls for $220 billion in cuts to SNAP. SNAP gives on avg just $1.40/meal. It lifts 8 million out of poverty. And Trump would eviscerate it.
cbpp.org/research/polic…
Because the admin has withheld information, we can't yet calculate percent cuts, but as you can see, those SNAP cuts are large and immediate. We're talking on the order of a 1/4 cut to SNAP. How disgusting. I don't care who you are or what you've done. No one should go hungry.
The Trump budget would destroy student loans and cripple college affordability. It calls for $207 billion in cuts to the student loan program.

Conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsi in plea negotiations with Mueller, which could shed light on whether Trump or his advisers were linked to WikiLeaks’ release of hacked Democratic emails in 2016 washingtonpost.com/politics/stone…
"Word is friend in embassy plans 2 more dumps. One shortly after I'm back. 2nd in Oct. Impact planned to be very damaging."

Corsi informed Stone about the planned WikiLeaks Dem email releases 2 months in advance.

And Mueller has the exchange. nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
"Stone responded, "Get to (Assange) [a]t Ecuadorian Embassy in London and get the pending (WikiLeaks) emails."

Corsi passed the request along to conservative author Ted Malloch in London"

the albemarle charlottesville regional jail board is meeting today to vote on their policy of voluntarily notifying ICE of inmate release dates. guards outside the jail are turning away members of the public, saying there is no parking at this public meeting.
they’re advising people to park at the food lion .5mi away. the guard i spoke to said they have NOT confirmed this is ok with the property owners at the shopping center &he is “not responsible” for the safety of people walking along the busy road with no sidewalks or crosswal3YXF
we showed up anyway. 20-30 members of the public are here, some inside to make public comments, most outside here in the overflow picnic shelter, watching on big old tube TVs. members of the press have been denied access to the building.
