Can you imagine how Trump’s tweet is being received in the FBI and DOJ?
The message is clear—if you investigate Trump, you could face years in prison for doing your job even if a court authorized your surveillance and you had a good reason to investigate. https://t.co/0ipCoRbTIb— Renato Mariotti (@renato_mariotti) May 17, 2019
“Treason” is defined very narrowly in the Constitution, so his tweet is meaningless legally. But the message is clear nonetheless.

I had a second trimester abortion. Our son never formed an airway. Had he survived birth he would have been brain dead. That wasn’t the life I wanted for him. It was the first true parenting decision I ever made. I am not a monster or a criminal. #youknowme

Watch my 1st baby die, miscarried the 2nd due to same birth defect. Because abortions were safe & legal I risked a 3rd pregnancy. My 3rd pregnancy ended happily. That child serves our country as a Navy doc. My child is alive because abortion was safe & legal #youknowme

Chuck and Nancy panned Trump’s immigration plan, put together by Jared in order to get everyone on board.
But perhaps more notable was McConnell’s reaction, which notably was not an endorsement. “I look forward to reviewing the president’s proposal.” https://t.co/qc6gmP8QWG— Annie Karni (@anniekarni) May 17, 2019
