Trump, who cares more about ratings than governing, fears a televised Mueller hearing. 😈
Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee calls Trump Jr. to testify. Jr. may plead the fifth or decide not to come according to sources.

New York! 🍎
NY legislature had a busy today, passing 2 laws:
1) Kill presidential reprieves, pardons or other forms of clemency
2) Require release on any state tax return requested for any “specified & legitimate purpose.”

Rep. Cummings talks about withholding salaries. Meanwhile, Dems discuss jail time and contempt. (As Speaker Pelosi noted, there's a jail in the Capitol!)
Schiff introduces amendment to overturn Citizens United.

Wagging the dog! Things between U.S. and Iran escalate, even as intelligence is proven questionable. Major incompetence - giving away military positions ... or merely saber rattling?
N. Korea defends missile launch and people notice ... the missile is Russian.

House Intelligence Committee subpoenas the full Mueller report.
FBI is planning to meet with Florida “on the nature and extent of the Russian government’s efforts to interfere with the 2016 election in our state.” So Republicans agree on that? Interesting.

Trump is holding a rally in Florida ... where residents are still feeling the impact of Hurricane Michael.
Georgia is giving Roe v. Wade a run for its money.
China is threats (deepens our trade war) as stock market continues volatility. Fed up economists quit.

Congress fights to be a co-equal branch of government as our forefathers intended.
Other countries write about us that we're in crisis.
And democracy worldwide is on the retreat.

ICYMI: Comey says the Barr summary is wrong.
Congress has the power to jail or fine anyone who does not comply with a subpoena.
Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee subpoenas Trump Jr! Jr. deciding whether to plead the fifth or not show up at all! Does this prove Jr. lied under oath?

Could be mistaken for 2019. This is Republican Senator Marco Rubio (FL) in 2012 thinking the AG should resign. #BarrResign Even fellow Republican Kristol sees the similarities.
“The thing that’s unusual is the blanket refusal. It would be extraordinary if the president actually were to try to stop all congressional testimony on subpoenaed issues. That would actually be unprecedented if it were a complete ban..."

NY passes double jeopardy loophole. Relates to presidential reprieve, pardon or other forms of clemency and previous prosecution. Goes to Governor to sign.
NY Sen passed bill: NY Taxation & Finance releases state tax return requested by the House Ways & Means, the Sen Finance, or the Joint Cmtte on Taxation for any “specified & legitimate legislative purpose.” Trump may be forced to release taxes.

Pelosi lets us know there's a jail in the Capitol.
ICYMI: Pelosi made a similar argument about Trump’s actions, comparing him to Nixon. She noted that 1 of the articles of impeachment against Nixon was that he ignored congressional subpoenas.

Personal story. I found out from @pleasesaveour yesterday that there was a school shooting in Denver. My daughter wasn't home from school. I panicked until I learned it wasn't my turn to grieve, but someone else's.

Personal story part 2. So after learning the location, I knew it's where my boss lives. I believed my boss' son went to the school where the shooting occurred. He wasn't hurt. But someone else's son was. #TimesUpOnGuns
