The sister of Trump's top adviser just pitched her White House connections to Chinese investors.
Great. Another excuse for Congress to turn a blind eye and give lip service to our constitution.-

New York legislation would reveal Trump's state tax returns.
The legislation -- dubbed the Tax Returns Uniformly Made Public Act (or TRUMP Act) -- would require the state to post online the state tax returns of anyone elected to federal or state office in a statewide election, including the president and vice president.
Trump is a resident of New York, and bill sponsor Brad Hoylman hopes the legislation will give the public a glimpse at Trump's taxes.
"Democrats and a small handful of Republicans, citing Trump's ongoing business interests, have pushed him to release his returns or to pressure Congressional leaders to exercise their authority to obtain them legally."-

The president's inner circle may yearn for totalitarian rule — but for Trump, it's all narcissistic play-acting.
No doubt that he's playing games, but lives are involved.-

The first daughter has the president's trust and a widening portfolio. So what will she do with it?
The two trade thoughts from morning until late at night, according to aides.

She calls cabinet officials on issues she is interested in, recently asking the United Nations ambassador, Nikki R. Haley, about getting humanitarian aid into Syria. She set up a weekly meeting with Steven Mnuchin, the Treasury secretary.

His rapturous show kept fans enthralled on Saturday night as the populist hero came to speak to his people.
Towards the end of a nearly hour-long speech on Saturday night, the President of the United States read a 266-word sonnet by Al Wilson called “The Snake.”
It was a callback for the truest believers to a simpler time—the day-in, day-out grind of the 2016 presidential campaign where Donald Trump beat the pundits and the lying, rotten fake news media and appeared in front of hordes of fans desperate to chant the token mantras: “build that wall!” and “lock her up!”
Why admit you voted for a pathological liar when you can make him into a hero?-

The contrast couldn't have been more stark. In Washington, journalists celebrated the First Amendment (and themselves) at a glitzy and ritzy dinner. In Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, the President of the United States delivered up slabs of red-meat to some of his most loyal supporters who had gathered to celebrate his first 100 days in office.-

The candidate that FactCheck.org dubbed the 'King of Whoppers' in 2015 has held true to form as president.
Lying about Flynn, the emoluments clause, and his "fake news" claims should bother everyone. They don't.-

President Donald Trump has suggested that the judiciary doesn't have the authority to question him. He was a very early proponent of nuking the filibuster for Supreme Court Justice Neil M. Gorsuch. And he recently raised eyebrows by congratulating Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on the expansion of his presidential powers - echoing his previous admiration for strongman leaders.
Now Trump is talking about consolidating his own power.-
