Michael Moore tweets a great, and very do-able response to the shithead.

"In the morning, when u wake up, call your Senators &members of Congress — 202-225-3121 — & say, "I'm an American. My family originally came from the shithole country of (fill in the blank). On Nov 6th, I will be bringing my shithole self & and a shitload of others to the polls."

Fox News, AND CNN say they will not be hiring Stephen Bannon

Imagine that. Until now, both networks grabbed has-beens on their way down hill.
Guess Bannon is just too crazy for even Fox.

Former White House chief strategist Stephen Bannon will not be signed by Fox News or by CNN following his ouster from Breitbart News on Tuesday, according to the networks.

“Fox News will not be hiring Steve Bannon,” a network spokesperson confirmed to The Hill.

A CNN spokesman also confirmed to The Hill that they are not interested in hiring Bannon.

The decision by the networks comes after SiriusXM also said Tuesday that the former White House chief strategist will no longer host a radio show after it was announced he was stepping down.

"Breitbart News has decided to end its relationship with Stephen K. Bannon, therefore he will no longer host on SiriusXM since our programming agreement is with Breitbart News," SiriusXM said in a statement.

Another Senator releases a report on Russian meddling!

Ranking member of the Sen Foreign Relations Committee pulls a Feinstein and releases a report on Russia’s foreign meddling.!!!

Note: Benjamin Louis "Ben" Cardin is a Dem. from Maryland.

Today I'm releasing a #RussiaReport documenting Vladimir Putin's 20-year attack on democratic institutions in his own country and Europe. To protect against what the Kremlin did to the U.S. in 2016, we need to first understand Putin's pattern.

His tweet thread:

sure hope this is a pattern of the good guys taking a stand.

Senate Dems can now force a vote on Net Neutrality.

In what may be a win-win moment for Democrats, the proponents of legislation to reverse the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) edict to repeal Net Neutrality rules now has 30 sponsors in the U.S. Senate, which guarantees it will be voted on.
With 29 other Senators joining Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass), the bill can now bypass the procedural requirement for approval by a committee and be guaranteed a vote by the full Senate.

snip:
“Every member of the U.S. Senate will have to go on record,” adds Greer, “during a tight election year, and either vote to save the Internet or rubber stamp its death warrant.”

And every vote will be noted for the 2018 election
