WATCH FULL INTERVIEW Michigan AG on foiled militia plot: 'This may very well be the tip of the iceberg' msnbc.com/katy-tur/watch… AG:  “this is a president that traffics in extremism and I hear the press frequently talk about it in terms of a dog whistle to these groups but to me it's not a dog whistle. It is really a command to action more than anything”

“Research has shown tens of thousands of Americans have died needlessly because of Donald Trump’s slow response” - Biden in Darby PA. “The public health response is still woefully lacking from this administration...the average number of daily cases is still climbing in 21 states.” -Biden

My friend’s 73 yr old mother went to the ER at Interfaith in Brooklyn at 6pm last night. She’s now been sitting in a chair in the ER for 29 hours waiting for a bed. She has a bad cough, a fever and violent chills. She calls her daughter crying pain and fear.

Her daughter is freaking out & desperate for help. She’s afraid her mom is going to give up.

Her COVID test just came back positive. But she’s still in a chair. There are still no beds.

The drs and nurses are doing their best. They’re in an impossible situation @interfaithmed

It was weird sitting down with Donald Trump - a candidate nearly everyone called a joke - back in July 2015.

It was surreal seeing him overcome scandal after scandal to get elected in 2016.

It is depressing but not surprising watching him get impeached for abusing power. This is the first time -if you don’t count 2018 -Donald Trump has suffered poltical consequences for his actions.

He faced none during the campaign - not for the Muslim Ban
- not for The Access Hollywood tape - not for the 12+ women who accuses him of sexual harassment or abuse

America ranks 122nd in the world for voter turnout. Vietnam is number 1. Why? #americanswamp

Majarorie Maryweather Post envisioned Mar-a-Lago as a southern White House. What she didn’t envision was that the President would personally make money off it. #americanswamp Mar-a-Lago member and fellow billionaire Jeff Greene says he has no direct access to the President at the club BUT in his 2018 run for Gov he said his membership would allow him to confront Trump. #americanswamp

I have a personal appeal to make.

A family member of mine has Stage 4 Kidney Disease and he needs a new kidney. We're looking in the family for match but so far no luck. So, I'm turning to you. If anyone is able or willing, please visit donorsforalan.com A little about Alan:

On my first trip to see family back east when I was 16, Alan brought me to Philly’s Little Italy. “You don’t know real Italian,” he told me before shoving a bowl of Mussels in Spicy Red Sauce toward me. “Eat!” I admit I hesitated...

Cohen on the Hill, a thread.

The days of this committee protecting the president at all cost are over - @RepCummings Cummings: because Cohen addressed Russia in his opening statement, Russia is back on the table for questioning.

There is nothing POTUS is more afraid of than looking weak:

TRUMP: if you’re really, really pathetically weak, the country is going to be overrun with millions of people and if you’re strong, then you don’t have any heart. That’s a tough dilemma. Perhaps I’d rather be strong .. This is part of why we've seen him consistently take the hardest line position on any issue.

Terrorism: We should kill the families of Terrorists.
Abortion: Women should be punished.
Immigration: Build a wall, separate families
Muslims: Ban them all
etc etc
