The silence left by Franken leaving is deafening.

Anyone else feel the gulf left by the bold and frank Franken, who made the tv rounds to speak frankly about what the Repubs are doing? I recall that Franken is the only one I heard on tv who didn't mince words, when he said that Sessions lied at his hearing before the Senate.

I now more than ever appreciate how effective he was.

A big OOPS on this one. I self-deleted.

I posted an article in legitimate media, but after looking up the author, I confirmed that he used to work for Heritage...I think that although it seemed this was a nonpartisan fact-based short article, it maybe wasn't. So best to delete, I thnk.

Hardball says Rosenstein may be targeted, now.

Matthews is talking about a pattern of purging anyone who might threaten Trump re the Russia investigation. A slow Saturday Night Massacre. And now Rosenstein is being looked at.

"The cavalry isn't coming to save us."

What kind of dog is this? (UPDATED)

Can anyone say what kind of dog this is? He's adorable.

UPDATE:

Here are both of Jake Tapper's dogs. Adorable. The boy tan dog is Winston (an Australian Terrier) and the one on the right is Clementine! (a maltese/dachsund mix). Thanks to demmiblue's post, who found the answer. Phew. I wanted to consider getting a dog like Clementine in the future, but since she's a mix, she's a one-of-a-kind!

I bet there are a lot of Washington Repubs calling each other tonight.

Getting their talking points together. Tommorrow: sending out the dogs with the talking points. Fox will also get the memo.

Pretty good timing...the story is out suddenly, at night, before the Repubs can get ahead of the story. Someone knew what he was doing when he leaked this.

Awwwwwww.....doggie singing

Too cute!

Bill Kristol: Trump may have returned to the idea of firing Mueller....

and this may have been McGahn's attempt to stop it. Or why leak it now?

Is there going to be an alternate DU group page during the mid-terms?

This was brought up previously. Has anyone heard anything? In case the site goes down during the mid-terms like on 2017 election night. Or is that impractical?

I'm concerned we're going to see a repeat of the 2017 election because the Russians are still doing what they were doing last year (at least that's what I've heard officials say).

Jobs, Jobs, Jobs!!! Jobs?

The big jobs guy, the smartest man in the world, the one who makes the best deals (there's no better deal maker in the world), the guy who's going to bring so many jobs that the people will start saying "Stop! Stop with all the jobs!" That guy, it turns out, isn't producing more jobs at all. (Color me shocked!)
