Source: The Washington Post
A growing group of Democratic lawmakers will boycott President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration Friday as a protest of Trump’s worldview and his criticism of civil rights icon John Lewis, congressman of Georgia.
There are now more than 30 House Democrats — 35, at last count — who have declared that they will not attend the inauguration on Capitol Hill this week. The number rose sharply after Trump tweeted Saturday that Lewis is “all talk, talk, talk” and should “finally focus on the burning and crime infested inner-cities.”

After Plagiarism Report, Monica Crowley Will Not Take White House Job
Source: The New York Times
Monica Crowley, who had been selected just weeks ago to serve in a high-profile post on President-elect Donald J. Trump’s National Security Council, has decided against taking the position after allegations that she had plagiarized key passages in a recent book.
Ms. Crowley had been dogged by allegations of plagiarism in recent weeks, beginning with a discovery by CNN that she had copied several key passages in a book she published with HarperCollins. A later report in Politico unearthed similar issues in her doctoral dissertation.
One person close to the transition said that Ms. Crowley’s role was to have involved overseeing certain speeches, something that would be difficult with the lingering plagiarism questions.

Oh Soooooooo close! Almost made it to inauguration day.
tRump melting down on twitter tonight.
According to CNN around 7:55 PM the jackass ended a twitter rant about CIA Director John Brennan with "Is this (he) the source of the CIA leaks?"
I think he's hiding something big and he knows Brennan is aware of it.
The GOP will never find a plan it likes more than Obamacare and Republicans can never admit it
"That’s in part because Obamacare, in its basic structure, is the conservative plan for health care reform.
The most conservative approach of obtaining near-universal coverage is the one Obamacare adopted: private insurers coupled with government subsidies, mandates, and regulations.
Republicans are boxed in, and Obama knows it. Any conservative health reform alternative will be a step backward from Obamacare. As long as near-universal coverage is the metric of success, the GOP won’t be able to beat Obamacare at its own game."

You Guys Are Feeling the Heat!: Anderson Cooper, Kellyanne Conway Battle Over CNN Intel Report
Source: Mediate
Kellyanne Conway and Anderson Cooper got into a massive heated back-and-forth tonight over CNN’s report last night on Trump being briefed about supposed “compromising” information against him.
Cooper expressed his frustration that Sean Spicer appeared to be conflating CNN’s report with BuzzFeed’s, which included a dossier on that alleged Russian disinformation, and he confronted Conway about that. Conway repeatedly insisted to Cooper that CNN’s “screaming headline” was wrong and that they linked to the BuzzFeed report online.

Donald Trump's colossal error on jobs during his press conference
Source: CNBC
Trump said that there "are 96 million wanting a job and they can't get (one). You know that story. The real number. That's the real number."
It is unfortunately very far from the real number. There are in fact 96 million Americans age 16 and older who are not in the labor force. Of this, just 5.4 million, or 91 million fewer than the number cited by Trump, say they want a job. The rest are retired, sick, disabled, running their households or going to school. (This number is 256,000 fewer than last year and 1.7 million fewer than the all-time high for the series in 2013.)

Lawmakers broach possible Trump campaign coordination with Russia
Source: Politico
The comments come amid an explosive report about allegations of compromising information on the president-elect.
By AUSTIN WRIGHT and MARTIN MATISHAK 01/10/17 07:10 PM EST
And the intelligence panel's ranking member, Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), said the committee's ongoing investigation into Russian meddling in the presidential election should look specifically at possible coordination between the presidential campaigns and the Russian government.
Warner said the committee probe should not seek to "re-litigate the results of the election" but that it must be "thorough."
"In my view, our committee investigation should focus on three broad areas," he said, before listing them: "The Russian hacking and release of stolen information; Russia's use of state-owned media and other means to amplify real and fake news to further their goal; and contact between the Russian government and its agents, and associates of any campaign and candidate."

Trump Received Unsubstantiated Report That Russia Had Damaging Information About Him
Source: The New York Times
WASHINGTON — The chiefs of America’s intelligence agencies last week presented President Obama and President-elect Donald J. Trump with a summary of unsubstantiated reports that Russia had collected compromising and salacious personal information about Mr. Trump, two officials with knowledge of the briefing said.
The summary is based on memos generated by political operatives seeking to derail Mr. Trump’s candidacy. Details of the reports began circulating in the fall and were widely known among journalists and politicians in Washington.

Trump national security pick Monica Crowley plagiarized multiple sources in 2012 book
Source: CNN
Conservative author and television personality Monica Crowley, whom Donald Trump has tapped for a top national security communications role, plagiarized large sections of her 2012 book, a CNN KFile review has found.
The review of Crowleys June 2012 book, "What The (Bleep) Just Happened," found upwards of 50 examples of plagiarism from numerous sources, including the copying with minor changes of news articles, other columnists, think tanks, and Wikipedia. The New York Times bestseller, published by the HarperCollins imprint Broadside Books, contains no notes or bibliography.
Crowley did not return a request for comment. Multiple requests for comment by phone and email over the past two days to HarperCollins went unreturned.
