President Donald Trump lashed out this morning against his old nemesis, the “failing New York Times,” accusing it in his Sunday Twitter stream of planning a “Racism Witch Hunt” in its ongoing coverage.
“The failing New York Times, in one of the most devastating portrayals of bad journalism in history, got caught by a leaker that they are shifting from the Phony Russian Collusion Narrative (the Mueller Report & his testimony were a total disaster), to a Racism Witch Hunt,” Trump said in his tweetstorm.
“‘Journalism’ has reached a new low in the history of our Country. It is nothing more than an evil propaganda machine for the Democrat Party. The reporting is so false, biased and evil that it has now become a very sick joke…But the public is aware!”
The media-conscious Commander-in-Tweet also found time to complain about his poll numbers.
“With all that this Administration has accomplished,...

Regardless of whether Attorney General William Barr was ever a “respectable” political figure, plenty of powerful people seem to have held him in such regard.
If Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-hi) was one of those people, she’s not anymore. On Wednesday, she lamented the degree to which the attorney general has allowed himself to be co-opted by President Trump. “The American people know that you are no different from Rudy Giuliani or Kellyanne Conway or any of the other people who sacrificed their once decent reputation for the grifter and...

There’s no great mystery about what Attorney General William Barr did Wednesday during his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee. He knows that Senate Democrats don’t have the votes or the power to do anything substantial to impair his tragic choice to protect President Trump from the substantiated allegations against him. And so the nation’s chief law enforcement official and top prosecutor, at taxpayer expense, spent hours spinning like a defense attorney with his client’s liberty on the line. If every prosecutor was so keen to...

“I’m the captain,” Attorney General Bill Barr told the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, taking potshots at special counsel Robert Mueller hours after The Washington Post and The New York Times revealed Mueller had urged Barr to publicly release the report’s summaries, arguing Barr’s 4-page CliffsNotes summary of the 400-page report had undermined public confidence in Mueller’s investigation.
Barr made clear to the senators, and the millions of viewers watching across MSNBC, CNN, Fox News Channel and various broadcast networks interrupting their schedules with “special reports,” Mueller’s report is “my baby” to handle as he sees fit.
If Mueller had decided he was unable to charge President Donald Trump with obstruction due to a previous Doj ruling about a sitting president, Barr said Mueller should not have investigated the instances of potential obstruction, 10 of which are spelled out in Mueller’s 400+ page report.

The border wall is Trump University. It’s Trump Steaks and Trump Vodka, too. It’s the futile promise of a fruitful career in the Trump Organization if you’ve earned his favor on a game show, or the assurance of fortunes once you buy that book that he didn’t write and likely never read himself. The wall is a con. And like practically everything else at the foundation of his empire, Trump always lied about who was going to pay for it.

So we’re withdrawing troops from the Middle East.
Good!
What’s the War on Terror death count by now, a half-million? How much have we spent, $5 trillion? Five-and-a-half?
For that cost, we’ve destabilized the region to the point of abject chaos, inspired millions of Muslims to hate us, and torn up the Geneva Convention and half the Constitution in pursuit of policies like torture, kidnapping, assassination-by-robot and warrantless detention.
It will be difficult for each of us to even begin to part with our share of honor in those achievements.

For someone who talks a big game about respecting the military, President Trump spends a lot of time offending service members. His latest affront came after John McCain died Saturday. That night, the president reportedly nixed the released of a statement honoring McCain’s legacy, instead opting to fire off a perfunctory tweet that failed to commend the senator. The next morning, Trump occupied himself by attacking the Justice Department, and on Monday he ordered the American flags at the White House to return to full-staff, despite the tradition that...

John McCain died Saturday afternoon at his ranch in Sedona, Arizona. He was 81. The longtime senator from Arizona had been battling glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer, for over a year, and his death came a day after his family told the media they had decided to discontinue medical treatment. Shortly after McCain’s office announced his death, lawmakers on both sides of the aisle expressed their sympathies for the six-term senator.

Hours after the Justice Department indicted 12 Russian intelligence officers for interfering in the 2016 election, Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats warned that Russia is still very much a threat to America’s democratic process. “The warning lights are blinking red again,” he said. “Today, the digital infrastructure that serves this country is literally under attack.” President Trump doesn’t seem to share his intelligence director’s concern. On Wednesday Yahoo reported that the White House intervened to block a bipartisan Senate bill that would have fortified election security nationwide.

Updated with Joe Biden statement: Meghan McCain this morning marveled that White House aide Kelly Sadler still had a job after cracking in the office on Thursday that Sen. John McCain’s opposition to President Donald Trump’s CIA director pick did not matter because “he’s dying anyway.”
“Kelly, news flash, We’re all dying…It’s not how you die, it’s how you live,” said the senator’s daughter, who is a panelist on the ABC daytime talk show.
“I’m not scared of death any more, and whatever you want to say in this kind of environment,” Meghan McCain continued, addressing Sadler. “The thing that surprised me most is, I don’t understand what kind of environment you’re working in where that would be acceptable, and then you can come to work the next day and still have a job.”
