"For the stay-in-office-at-all-cost representatives and senators, fear is the motivator. They are afraid that Mr. Trump might give them a nickname like “Low Energy Jeb” and “Lyin’ Ted,” or that he might tweet about their disloyalty." https://t.co/QrEHnTOJU6

Presidents typically invite anchors from all major networks for a pre-SOTU lunch at the White House. Wolf Blitzer has been attending for 20 years, longer than almost any other anchor.

Per @brianstelter, CNN anchors are being excluded from today’s lunch: https://t.co/OvOsf0sPHZ

You can safely ignore him

I can’t download my 17 years’ experience of covering these assholes into your brains, so you’ll have to take my word that you can safely ignore anything Tom Fitton and Judicial Watch has to say — even if it’s true. Because even if it’s true, I guarantee it will be twisted out of context as to have no relationship to reality.

Now that Senate Rs have told Trump he can continue corrupting the 2020 election with impunity, House Dems must step up and protect the country.

* Subpoena John Bolton

* Call Lev Parnas

* Get to the bottom of William Barr's activities

I want you to read this closely

And then I want you to act on it. Call or write your senators.

Trump is compiling a post-impeachment enemies list and Bolton is at the top of it. Trump had told people he wants Bolton criminally prosecuted. My latest:https://t.co/p7ZjjszDhP
