Republican Senators tried to stop trump from firing Sondland.

Trump evidently was not interested in a quiet departure, choosing instead to make a point by forcing Mr. Sondland out before the ambassador was ready to go. When State Department officials called Mr. Sondland on Friday to tell him that he had to resign that day, he resisted, saying that he did not want to be included in what seemed like a larger purge of impeachment witnesses, according to the people informed about the matter.

Trump claims of blue collar boom is just another lie.

The “real” value of hourly wages for manufacturing workers — that is, the actual buying power of worker pay when adjusting for inflation — since Trump took office at the start of 2017 has dropped by 3.88 percent, with the situation looking even more grim when the real value of fringe benefits is included in the figures.

Tax payers being charged millions for Secret Service to travel with trump.

Secret Service paid as much as $650. A night to stay at trump properties.

Those charges, compiled here for the first time, show that Trump has an unprecedented — and largely hidden — business relationship with his own government. When Trump visits his clubs in Palm Beach, Fla., and Bedminster, N.J., the service needs space to post guards and store equipment.

All due respect to Iowa.

This contest is NOT reflective of anything regarding the election. I’m tired of millions being spent there, candidates living there for months while my state, California, barely gets a mention from most candidates. A state that actually reflects the reality of America.

This is all noise to distract the press from the sh&t stain illegally occupying the people’s house.

Stop fighting, start organizing. If you’re not voting blue no matter who, you’re with them as far as I am concerned.

Kushner received 30 million from Israel while working on "peace plan"

According to a report published Sunday by the New York Times, Kushner's real estate firm received a $30 million investment from Menora Mivtachim—one of Israel's largest financial institutions—just before he accompanied Trump on his first diplomatic trip to Israel last year.

"The deal, which was not made public, pumped significant new equity into 10 Maryland apartment complexes controlled by Mr. Kushner's firm," the Times notes. "While Mr. Kushner has sold parts of his business since taking a White House job last year, he still has stakes in most of the family empire—including the apartment buildings in and around Baltimore."
