In 2016, Obama shook President-Elect Trump's hand and promised a peaceful transition of power. At the same time Obama was running 5 operations against Trump. THE GRAND CONSPIRACY: How Obama Weaponized the Deep State Against Donald Trump Available now grandconspiracybook.com

Don Jr., the president’s son, had his wedding party paid for by a close friend of Vladimir Putin, a big Russian oligarch businessman. When a foreigner, particularly someone close to a senior leader in another country, pays for things for the President’s son, there’s an expectation that you owe them something in return. It’s not just about someone paying for your wedding. It’s about the expectation of insider information, privileged information, or access. That’s why there’s a clear red line not to do it.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Statement on Trump Suspending Microsoft from the PERM Program: This is a crucial issue for me as the top Democrat on the Immigration Subcommittee, the only member of Congress to have actually had an H-1B visa, and the Representative for tens of thousands of Microsoft workers. The administration has been consistently working to take away legal pathways for immigrants to contribute their talents to our country, and this is yet another of those attacks. The PERM program is the first step toward an employment-based green card for countless workers who want to contribute to this country, and it lays out a clear process with steps to ensure that this is a net benefit to our economy and does not harm American jobs. Our economy, our communities, and our families depend on immigrants in many sectors, including the tech sector, and heavy-handed attacks like this only hurt efforts to build a strong, stable, and diverse base of workers who have legal pathways to come and be in the United States while also protecting U.S. workers from unscrupulous employers. You don’t fix a broken immigration system by taking a hammer to legal immigration. Microsoft has been a leader in advocating for comprehensive immigration reforms that modernize an antiquated immigration system and provide more — not fewer — legal pathways for immigrants from all over the world to work here and be with their families. Targeting Microsoft or the PERM program in this way simply undermines legal immigration and weakens America’s ability to innovate.

Jefry Yan of the Mets debuted last night. He jumps in celebration after every strikeout. What’s your take: Great showmanship or bad sportsmanship?

What really happened after the State Dinner. The lost Xi camera roll has been found.

Senator Chris Murphy to Jennifer Welch: Government needs to regulate social media so people are less likely to support a candidate like President Trump. The left will censor your speech as soon as they have the power to do so. They're not hiding the ball here. They did it before. They will do so again.

On the day before the Election, the DOJ just announced the takedown of a "white supremacist" terror plot to blow up a substation. The plot was comprised of only 1 actual target, and AT LEAST five undercover feds -- 2 of them pictured here w/ the target and an inert pipe bomb (phony pipe bomb, you say?) H/T to the great @NotRadix for flagging this.

I think AOC is wrong on almost all of her political positions. But 95% of politicians can’t be normal on a walking interview like she is here. And I think there is a desperate craving for normal in politics today. Don’t underrate her. Kamala can’t do this.
