Former special counsel MORE will testify before Congress on Wednesday in the most anticipated hearing of the year. It comes more than three months after his 448-page report became public, and two days before the House embarks on a six-week recess. Mueller has made it clear he is a reluctant witness, and his appearance comes much later than many Democrats would have desired. It’s uncertain whether there will be any surprises on Wednesday, or whether he’ll move the needle on impeachment one week after the Democratic-controlled House for the first time considered article

“The right to boycott is deeply rooted in the fabric of our country,” Tlaib said on the House floor on Tuesday. “What was the Boston Tea Party but a boycott?”  “Where would we be now with the boycott led by civil rights in the 1950s and 60s, like the Montgomery bus boycott and the United Farm Workers grape boycott,” Tlaib said.

Last Sunday, President Donald Trump tweeted that Omar and three other far-left Democratic congresswomen in the so-called “Squad” should “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came” and then “come back and show us how it is done.” He did not call for them to be deported, and later clarified that he meant simply that if they did not like the U.S., they should leave. Some members of a large rally

In response to Trump rolling out his travel ban idea in December 2015, a version of which he would later successfully implement as president despite legal challenges, Tlaib said on Twitter: “Deport this asshole!” Trump, like Tlaib, is an American citizen, so deporting either would not be possible. But this tweet carries particular irony now, given Trump’s comments about Tlaib and her fellow members of the so-called “Squad”–Reps.

Biden, who has pitched himself as the only Democrat capable of winning back the white working class in 2020, made the admission when being interviewed for a profile in The New York Times that was published on Tuesday. “A lot of people were left behind,” the frontrunner said when discussing the Obama administration’s efforts to combat the recession.

WASHINGTON — On a hot evening in June last year, an eclectic mix of people mingled under the glow of a neon pink light in the living room of a small Greenwich Village apartment, intent on altering American politics. This was not your typical glitzy Manhattan fund-raiser. The fare was cheese, chips, and guacamole, with a large ice bucket filled with craft beer in the bathtub.

Donald Trump believes being president means he has the right to do what whatever he wants. That’s the message he delivered — not for the first time — on Tuesday while addressing a crowd of teenagers and young adults at the Turning Point USA Teen Student Action Summit in Washington. There are numerous viral video clips from Trump’s 80-minute speech at the conference, but one of the most interesting bits came as he discussed Article II of the U.S.

The Justice Department on Monday told former special counsel MORE that he should limit his Wednesday testimony before Congress to the four corners of his public report on Russian interference. “Any testimony must remain within the boundaries of your public report because matters within the scope of your investigation were covered by executive privilege, including information protected by law enforcement, deliberative process, attorney work product, and presidential communications privileges,” Associate Deputy Attorney General Bradley Weinsheimer wrote in a letter to M

A pair of prominent conservative personalities knocked MORE on Monday over a report that asserted his administration has not constructed a single mile of new wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. The Drudge Report, an influential site run by conservative MORE took note of the headline and added her own barb at Trump. "I guess @realDonaldTrump is too chicken to call @DRUDGE a wacky nutjob," Coulter tweeted. The comment was a reference to March, when Trump

MORE’s challenges with Iran mounted on Monday after Tehran claimed to detain more than a dozen citizens it alleged are CIA spies.

Regional experts said Monday that it’s hard to gauge the credibility of Iran’s announcement.

Regardless, they added, Iran’s flexing of its security apparatus represents the latest in a back-and-forth of escalating U.S.-Iran tensions, coming on the heels of Iran’s seizure of a British-flagged oil tanker.
