The Justice Department issued a withering rebuke on Monday to assertions that a Republican political operative helped draft the department’s request to place a citizenship question on the 2020 census. “There is no smoking gun here; only smoke and mirrors.” https://t.co/w6C8lH7GaS

1. Last week we learned that a political operative that specializes in racial gerrymandering concocted the Trump administration's scheme to rig the 2020 census.

Who was paying him?

I followed the money and found the answer: the RNChttps://t.co/97847BzuKK pic.twitter.com/V1vRWovG9z

This yr, I think of our Trump Org. coverage as 3 I’s:
1. Income. How’s the biz doing financially?
2. Influence. Who might try to influence @realdonaldtrump thru his biz?
3. Immigration. Is the biz using undocumented labor, despite Trump’s rhetoric against it? 1/

Trump-Putin update

I deleted the last post on their call because some of the original tweets were revised in terms of what was discussed. I’ll wait for more clarity.

Trump makes up a story about Mexico

The U.S. military says the incident "was an honest mistake by the Mexican soldiers." Trump says the Mexican soldiers were probably trying to create a diversion to help drug smugglers. https://t.co/FBoXNJBvrw

Adding seats to the Supreme Court – a poll

I support adding additional seats to the Supreme Court. I don’t see any other way to compensate for the seat the Republicans stole when they ignored the Garland nomination.

NEW POLL: When provided the arguments for and against adding seats to the Supreme Court, Democrats support the idea 75-25 and independents support it 55-45.https://t.co/58C81WRl9A pic.twitter.com/3G3rChs6cQ

McFarland is a liar

K. T. McFarland’s lie from the Mueller report. This administration lies all the time.

Mueller says after WashPost reported Flynn talked to Russian ambassador the day Obama imposed sanctions, Flynn directed deputy McFarland to call WashPost and deny they discussed the sanctions. “McFarland made the call even though she knew she was providing false information”
