Almost certainly a response to Muller's subpoena. Nunes wants to know/pass along what Bannon is going to say to Mueller.

No way that fat fuck is in 'excellent health'

Fuckers just couldn't let 'shithole' go until we got a deal for the DREAMers....

Fun fact: he was always 6 foot 2 until he needed to be 6 foot 3 in order to avoid being classified as obese.

Yeah, if people would have let that slide, he definitely would have swung left on immigration.

Nobody knew how hard governing could be.

Democrats over-performed by 25 and 28 in two Wisconsin special elections tonight.

+21 in Iowa.

I was thinking yesterday...do Republicans do anything other than destroy anymore? I realize I'm being hyperbolic but it's 5AM so I've misplaced my thinking cap. They keep taking things apart in the interest of 'fixing' them but I haven't seen them put anything together that was worth two shits in a pretty long time.

Moby is gonna break this Russia thing wide open.

Not let it slide, just wait a week or two until we get the deal. He already had swung left from his far-right campaign rhetoric, he called for a "bill of love" (whatever that means), but he is someone who works not on well thought out plans but purely on what his fragile ego says at any moment... so antagonizing him in the middle of negotiations was not the best plan.

They became hostages to their most ideologically extreme players before Trump ever arrived. The Freedom Caucus is pretty used to getting its way, which is why you now have Republicans threatening to shut down the government unless other Republicans cave in to their demands (demands which, by the way, make bipartisan support impossible).

There's a residue of complacency left over from the days when their messaging system was so exact and so consistently controlled that they could spin this as a democrat obstruction problem. They aren't scared enough about how it will look.

You would think yesterday's specials would have reminded them, but none of the Freedom Fries is in a risky district (fun aside: Paul Ryan might be).

Boom Nunes subpoenas. Wont talk.

Gowdy rages. Won't talk.

Maybe gleefully destroying his career to save the ego of a distractible megalomaniac was a tactical error or something.

That's true. I mean, for the duration of Obama it was just "the party of no".
