Roger Stone’s arrest is only the latest event on a long list of indictments, guilty pleas, and convictions turned up by the Mueller probe thus far. Still think it’s just a witch hunt?
Most significant in the Stone indictment is new info that a senior campaign official was “directed” in July 2016 to contact Mr. Stone about additional Wikileaks releases.
This was at same time candidate Trump was publicly calling for Russia’s help in obtaining Clinton’s emails.
Once again, Trump is exploiting the issue of human trafficking to make a false case for his wall.
Trafficking experts say Trump's depiction (of women being kidnapped, bound with duct tape, & shoved into vehicles) comes from the movies, not real life.

It is telling that @MattWalshBlog, @CBNNews, @foxandfriends and all the right-wing pearl clutchers denouncing #ExposeChristianSchools have not reached out to talk to me as the person who started it, or to anyone using the hashtag to tell their stories. I’m available, you cowards.
Dear @realdonaldtrump: You should spend your time reopening government instead of forcing yourself on the House of Representatives. We are a separate & coequal branch of government.
We do not serve you. We serve the American people. And they want you to reopen government.

BREAKING: Speaker Pelosi responds to President Trump; says the House will not consider a concurrent resolution that would authorize the president to deliver a State of the Union address in the House chamber until the government is reopened.
"It's not just that the GOP elite don't share the same long-term vision as many of us, it's that they don't *have* a long-term vision. For the religious extremists in the admin, it's apocalyptic: they don't believe there will be a future." -- @gaslitnationpatreon.com/posts/24184840
The shutdown’s impact on federal workers is bad enough, but the FBI is also losing counter-terrorism sources and is unable to fund key efforts to target terror suspects, drug traffickers and sexual predators.
Time to reopen the government and stop putting our security at risk.
New: The wheels of justice are grinding to a halt. FBI agents say the shutdown is costing them irreplaceable sources, postponing indictments, & slow-rolling investigations. The fed judiciary and US Attorneys’ offices are running out of money. It’s day 33. theatlantic.com/politics/arc…
On @gaslitnation, @AndreaChalupa and I have been covering the shutdown for the past three episodes. This is not just a shutdown: it's a hostile restructuring by kleptocrats.

In an internal TSA email, the agency asks for 250 workers to move to airports struggling with callouts - a sign it's straining under shutdown pressure cnn.it/2HqJlEJ
Discrimination is never patriotic. Allowing all who love our country to serve, is. Deeply disturbed the Supreme Court will allow Trump’s ban on transgender troops to take effect.
As the legal battle continues, we’ll redouble our efforts to reverse this backward decision.

The influential Oversight Committee has accrued a laundry list of potential subpoena targets over the past two years and is expected to serve as a powerful check on the Trump administration

#DidTrumpOpenGovernmentYet? Asking on behalf of federal employees, and their families, in my district who are unsure of when they will see their next paycheck or how they will put food on the table. #EndTheShutdown
This, from @SenSchumer, gets to the heart of it: “It was the President who singled-handedly took away DACA and TPS protections in the first place – offering some protections back in exchange for the wall is not a compromise but more hostage taking.”
