republicans with donald trump it s all or nothing. and it is unacceptable to not express the point of view that ukraine meddled in the election even though the intelligence services as senator romney said clearly do not demonstrate that happened. in fact, we know factually the russians did. senator romney is going to say exactly what it is that is truthful about the situation. he s not afraid to do that. he s in a different position, though, potentially from other senators who may not have the political latitude that he does. not to justify or say that that s right or wrong, simply saying that you have different people in different positions. but with respect to senator romney, you can always expect him to say exactly what it is that s on his mind. in this case it s clear evidence that the russians interfered, no the the ukrainians. it s an important statement because it gives republicans potentially some cover to say this notion that the ukrainians were involved in the election is lud
in new york city and northern virginia, just outside of d.c. the initial decision to expand into new york city fueled protests and a fierce debate between the locals and city and state leaders. on one side, proponents like de blasio and governor andrew cuomo, who felt the incentives provided to amazon would be returned in high-paying tech jobs and many jobs created indirectly. on the other side were powerful politicians who decried corporate welfare being given to one of the biggest and most powerful corporations. yesterday, amazon released a statement, saying, after much thought and deliberation, we ve decided not to move forward with our plans to build a headquarters for amazon in long island city, queens. while polls show that 70% of new yorkers support our plan and investment, a number of state and local politicians made it clear they oppose our presence and will not work with us to build the types of relationships that are required to go forward with this project. freshman congres

i mean, this time i was really concerned about the president s where his head was at this morning. jennifer rubin, you know what was also there were so many if you have a list of things that were concerning about this morning s comments. one was just the image we showed on tv, the picture of the president walking out as he walked to the mike accompanied by mitch mcconnell. yes. you know, at least he didn t have him on a leash this time. but the behavior of mitch mcconnell i think will go down as one of the most shameful chapters in a very shameful book about the republican party. you ll recall that when this idea came up a few months ago, mitch mcconnell was saying, no, we shouldn t go there, bad idea. of course as soon as the president does it, mitch mcconnell is back on his team and cheering this along. he is cheering the destruction of his own branch of government, the legislative branch. he is destroying the united states senate. and he is setting up a huge battle within th
