Tax preparation day at this household/ Wish me luck.

Thought of the night.

Only an idiot would produce a smear video against a senator WHO WAS JUST RE-ELECTED.

"They slept on the massage tables, cooked on the back steps, got no breaks."

Report: Barr likely pushed back against story that Mueller report was coming soon.

“The false alarm was just the latest in a line of imprecise and inaccurate estimates about when Mueller’s team plans to submit its report to the attorney general, and when a version of that report could be made public,” a report from The Daily Beast said.

The Beast goes on to explain that even though Mueller has been “tight-lipped” about the report, that several of Trump allies and aides have shared information with the press about when they think it is being released.

A blog for the Palmer Report echos the same sentiments that the release of the Mueller report is being taken advantage of to fuel President Donald Trump’s agenda to control the media narrative.

“This smells just like the pattern used in the past by Donald Trump of painting a narrative he wants to be true, as a way to pressure people to support his story,” the post said. “By allowing a DOJ official to tell a reporter that the report would not be submitted next week, Barr just followed in the footsteps of Andrew McCabe, before him, and Jim Comey before them. These Justice officials can’t be pushed around, and today we have some hope that William Barr is one of them.”

Puerto Rico governor says 2020 Democrats must support statehood

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Puerto Rico Governor Ricardo Rosselló said on Friday that as Democratic candidates begin visiting the island ahead of the 2020 presidential nominating contests there is one question they must answer: whether the U.S. territory should become a state.

“What I want to hear everybody talk about,” Rosselló told reporters, “is their stance on the equality of U.S. citizens in Puerto Rico? It should be a yes or no answer. There should be no room for wiggle.”

“The only way to get that equality is through statehood, which twice in the past seven years the people of Puerto Rico have voted. That is the top simple question that I would want them to answer,” he added.

Rosselló, a Democrat, spoke to reporters at the annual National Governors Association meeting in Washington. He was elected governor in 2016 after making Puerto Rican statehood a main component of his campaign. The U.S. Congress and president would have to approve Puerto Rico becoming the 51st U.S. state.
