Hopes for a Liberal majority are not going to become a reality.
US Conservatives Outnumber Liberals by Narrowing Margin
"PRINCETON, N.J. -- Many more Americans have considered themselves politically conservative than liberal since the early 1990s."
"36% of Americans now conservative, 25% liberal"
"Yet that 11-percentage-point margin is half of what it was at its peak in 1996 and is down from 14 points only two years ago."

Donald Trump mocked for changing Twitter banner to hit back at Russia links
"Director Clapper reiterated what everybody, including the fake media already knows- there is "no evidence" of collusion w/ Russia and Trump," the president proclaims in the account's main picture, which shows the president surrounded by dozens of people in the Oval Office giving a thumbs up."
He said no such thing.
What he said was:
"James Clapper, the former director of national intelligence, who retired when Mr Trump took office, told the committee that the Russians would be celebrating the discord they had sown."
"He said that the evidence that Russia was behind the hack of the election was "overwhelming".
“Russia’s activities to influence the election counted as a high watermark in their efforts," he said.
This is what he said about not seeing F.B.I. evidence:
"The former national intelligence director says that he was not aware of the FBI's counterintelligence probe into Russia meddling in the election during his time as head of the nation's 17 spy agencies."
"James Clapper retired the day President Donald Trump was inaugurated."
"He says that as a consequence, he was not aware of the counterintelligence investigation that FBI Director James Comey acknowledged during his March 20 testimony before the House intelligence committee."
The lying con-man in the White House is getting more and more desperate.
The walls are closing in...

Ex-CIA Officer Says Carter Page Is "Chump Change" And That Bigger Fish Now Being Targeted By Feds
“Look, the reason Carter Page is being featured is because he’s prominent in the press, not because he’s the most prominent target of the FBI,” Mudd said."
“I think there will eventually be an indictment. Somebody going to be indicted, I don’t know if it’s going to be Carter Page — I think he’s chump change, I think it’s someone higher up.”
"Asked to elaborate, Mudd explained that, based on what the FBI has heard from their “intercepts” of Trump transition officials talking with Russian officials, they will use that evidence to get those officials to “flip” and spill what they know in order to avoid being indicted on federal charges."

Donald Trump’s Penthouse Is Way Smaller Than He Claims
"During the presidential election, Donald Trump took Forbes on a tour of his three-story Trump Tower penthouse, and boasted that it was 33,000 square feet, worth at least $200 million, and was literally the “best apartment ever built.”
"According to Forbes, Trump actually shares those three floors with a neighbor."
The magazine estimates that the residence is actually worth $64 million, not the $200 million figure Trump claimed.

Atheist organisation files lawsuit against Donald Trump's 'Religious Liberty' executive order
"A organisation of atheists from Wisconsin has filed a lawsuit challenging the president’s so-called “religious liberty” order, claiming his move to allow religious groups to preach politics from the pulpit is in breach of the constitution."
"The Freedom from Religion Foundation (FFRF), established in 1978, said recent comments by Mr Trump were a clear attempt to roll-back the provisions of the Johnson Amendment, a 1954 law that prohibits all tax-exempt institutions from campaigning for political candidates."
"The FFRF lawsuit says: “Among its many faults, [Mr Trump’s] order requires the IRS to selectively and preferentially discontinue enforcement of the electioneering restrictions of the tax code against churches and religious organisations, while applying a more vigorous enforcement standard to secular non-profits.”

Trump’s war on science continues with EPA firings
"Late last week, the President and his Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt quietly fired half of the 18-member Board of Scientific Counselors, a panel that evaluates research done by EPA scientists to help government regulators create the rules that protect clean air, water and soil, among many other things."
"It's part of a larger war on science that includes a House bill that would require more industry representatives on another EPA science panel so that it's oversight of industry is more "balanced"...towards industry"
"Jan. 23: "President Trump institutes media blackout at EPA." Three days into his administration, the President barred EPA employees "from providing updates on social media or providing information to reporters."

Donald Trump's ignorance is becoming more evident with each passing day
It’s laughable when pundits try to distill a Trump doctrine from his word salad.
His own words illuminate the undeveloped space between his ears (sub-title)
"Let’s connect the dots between Donald Trump’s “tax plan”, his invitation to the murderous leader in Manila and saying he would be “honored” to meet with the dictator of North Korea."
"Human beings have thousands of years of experience with taxes and diplomacy and yet Trump lives unaware of the basic principles of government finance and international relations."
"Trump is even ignorant about his tax plan, all 100 words of it, or that it violates principles of taxation articulated by Plato, Adam Smith and many other philosophers."

After being fired by Trump, Sally Yates to testify on Russia
"An Obama administration official who warned the Trump White House about contacts between one of its key advisers and Russia is set to speak publicly Monday for the first time about the concerns she raised."
"Trump moved to distance himself from his former adviser's troubles Monday, tweeting that it was the Obama administration that gave Flynn "the highest security clearance" when he worked at the Pentagon."
"The president made no mention of the fact that Flynn was fired by the Obama administration in 2014."

Donald Trump impeachment probe resolution passed by Los Angeles council
'It is important ... to tell this president that no one is above the law' (sub-title)

"Los Angeles Council member Bob Blumenfield spearheaded the move, which the council backed by 10 votes to zero."

Reporters barred from Kushner Companies' event in China
"Organizers barred journalists on Sunday from a publicly advertised event in Shanghai that offered Chinese investors the chance to get U.S. immigrant visas if they put money in a real estate project linked to the family of President Donald Trump's son-in-law."
"Guests at the event said Kushner's sister, Nicole Kushner Meyer, spoke for about 10 minutes, including about her family's humble roots."
"According to the New York Times, Meyer attended a similar event in Beijing on Saturday and told the audience of about 100 people the project "means a lot to me and my entire family".

Trump's business network reached alleged Russian mobsters
"Trump told reporters in February: "I have no dealings with Russia. I have no deals that could happen in Russia, because we’ve stayed away."
“Yet in 2013: I have a great relationship with many Russians, and almost all of the oligarchs were in the room,” Trump said, referring to Russians who made fortunes when former Soviet state enterprises were sold to private investors."
"Five years earlier, Trump's son Donald Trump Jr. told Russian media while in Moscow that “Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross section of a lot of our assets" in places like Dubai and Trump SoHo and elsewhere in New York."
Nail this lying scumbag. And his spawn.

Donald Trump Jacked Up His Campaign’s Trump Tower Rent Once Somebody Else Was Paying It
Office rent soared in July after Trump’s campaign began accepting donor contributions. (sub-title)
"WASHINGTON ― After bragging for a year about how cheaply he was running his campaign, Donald Trump is spending more freely now that other people are contributing ― particularly when the beneficiary is himself."
"Trump nearly quintupled the monthly rent his presidential campaign pays for its headquarters at Trump Tower to $169,758 in July, when he was raising funds from donors, compared with March, when he was self-funding his campaign, according to a Huffington Post review of Federal Election Commission filings."
"The rent jumped even though he was paying fewer staff in July than he did in March."

‘TRUMP REGRETTERS’: NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO REGRET VOTING FOR DONALD IS INCREASING
"A national poll released last week shows that a steadily increasing number of people who voted for Trump at the 2016 general election are joining a category of voters dubbed “Trump regretters,” that is, people who voted for Trump in November but have since changed their minds or have serious doubts that they made the right voting choice."
"The new PSB Research survey conducted last week found that 11 percent of the general population identified themselves as “Trump regretters.”
"The poll also found that although a majority of Trump voters still feel that Trump is keeping his promises, improving the economy and keeping America safe, only 39 percent of Trump voters agreed with the statement that he is “surrounding himself with the best people,” compared with 50 percent who agreed with the same statement last month."
11 percent in one month.

Kushner Family Tells Wealthy Chinese: Invest With Us and You Can Immigrate
"White House senior adviser Jared Kushner's family business encouraged wealthy Chinese citizens to “invest $500,000" in their real estate empire and then be allowed to immigrate to the United States."
"That was the message for an event held Saturday in a ballroom full of wealthy Chinese investors at the Ritz-Carlton in Beijing, The Washington Post reported."
"Kushner’s sister, Nicole Meyer, encouraged those in the ballroom to invest in her family's New Jersey real estate project and get an investor visa in return."

Trump Weighing 95 Percent Cut to Drug Office, Chief Warns
"The Trump administration is weighing a cut of almost 95 percent of the budget for the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy at a time the president has pledged to aggressively combat opioid addiction, according to an internal memo."
"The office, which coordinates much of U.S. drug strategy, including responses to trafficking, could see several grant programs for drug prevention discontinued under the proposal, which was decried by prevention advocates and members of Congress from both parties when it was reported on Friday."
“These drastic proposed cuts are frankly heartbreaking and, if carried out, would cause us to lose many good people who contribute greatly to ONDCP’s mission and core activities,’’ Richard Baum, acting director, wrote Friday in a staff memo that was provided to news outlets."
Trump, Christie Pledge to Combat Nation's Opioid Addiction
President Donald Trump has tapped New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie to the lead the against the nation's addiction crisis. (sub-title)
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is vowing to step up efforts to combat the nation's opioid addiction crisis, and he's tapped New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie to lead the fight.
"We want to help those who have become so badly addicted. Drug abuse has become a crippling problem throughout the United States," said Trump, citing statistics that show drug overdose is now the leading cause of accidental death in the country.
"This is a total epidemic and I think it's probably, almost un-talked about compared to the severity that we're witnessing."
I guess it was all the BS hyperbole as usual...

Trump lauds Australia’s universal health care minutes after Republicans vote to end Obamacare
"U.S. President Donald Trump delivered a real head-scratcher Thursday when he took aim at Obamacare by lavishing praise on Australia‘s health care system — which provides universal coverage and is partially taxpayer-funded."
“Right now, Obamacare is failing. I shouldn’t say this to our great gentleman and my friend from Australia, because you have better health care than we do,” Trump said as Turnbull smiled.
"Trump’s comments may come as a surprise to many as Australia’s Medicare system is partially funded by a two per cent levy, with low-income Australians paying less or nothing in many cases and high-earners paying extra."

At FDA, TVs now turned to Fox News and can't be switched
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/at-fda-tvs-now-turned-to-fox-news-and-cant-be-switched/
From your link:
"CBS News has confirmed an email was sent to researchers at the FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research responding to apparent efforts to change the channel on internal television screens."
"The reason for the change is that a decision from the current administration administrative officials has requested that all monitors, under our control, on the White Oak Campus, display FOX news," the email reads."
"Then, White Oak apologizes for the "inconvenience," adding, "I am unable to change any of the monitors to any other news source at this time."
