1. My thoughts on DJT tweets: Trump feels cornered. Now aware of surveillance he believes came from his TT office via FBI wiretaps. https://twitter.com/kylegriffin1/status/838072989732200451 …

We should crush the republicans in the next election
With these two issues we should be able to crush the republicans. We need to quit taking a knife
to a gunfight! Hang these two issues around the republicans’ necks. No overtime pay and no health
care so the top 1% can get a tax cut.
Never fucking forget that Trumpcare is not about Health Care but it is all about giving the very rich a tax cut by
taking away medical care and medical coverage from millions of Americans to pay for it.

The bill cuts about a trillion dollars in funding for healthcare while cutting taxes for the top 2% by about the same amount.

House Republicans passed a bill on Tuesday that would let employers in the private-sector give workers paid time off instead of overtime pay.
The bill passed 229 to 197, and was largely along party lines, the Washington Post reports. No Democrats voted for the bill, and only six Republicans voted against it.
While Republicans think the bill will give greater flexibility to employers and their workers, notes the Post, Democrats think the bill undercuts the Fair Labor Standards act.
Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass) was one Democrat who vehemently spoke out against it, tweeting on Tuesday that the bill is a "disgrace." But Republicans don't agree. "I don't think there's anything more powerful than giving them more control over their time so that they can make the best decisions for themselves and their families," Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers of Washington said of the bill, according to CNN.

BBC Happy News, Rare Russian tiger returns to the wild Video @ link
Amur tigers were nearly driven to extinction, but conservation work in Russia is helping them bouncing back slowly.

This is not about getting people health care* but about giving the very rich a tax cut.
The E.O. that Trump signed is not about religious freedom but about the right to
be a bigot and push your thoughts on JEEE-BEE-ZUSS on others.
And Republicans in the House and Senate are not about trying to get to the bottom
about the connections between Trump/Russia/the elections but they are trying to
run out the clock and change the subject. Sen. Hatch yesterday, "Mr. Comey I am
worried about cell phone security." (rough quote)

Trump's Jackson comment in context / 20% of Trump Fans Think Freeing the Slaves Was a Bad Idea
http://time.com/4236640/donald-trump-racist-supporters/Donald Trump appears to have high levels of support among the nation's intolerant population, according to a New York Times deep dive into polling data.
The Times found that nearly 20% of Trump supporters did not approve of freeing the slaves, according to a January YouGov/Economist poll that asked respondents if they supported or disapproved of "the executive order that freed all slaves in the states that were in rebellion against the federal government"—Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation.
