You know how people speculate that Fox News will help Trump escape for the #MuellerReport?
Glad to see at least someone there going with the facts.

Considering how relentlessly Fox fans the flames of lies, paranoia and conspiracy, you'd think Elie position wouldn't be controversial. Dems should not appear on Fox!
I don't care how desperate they are to reach the mythical racist-Trump-voter-with-a-heart-of-gold. Democratic Presidential candidates need to STOP appearing on white supremacist media like Fox News. https://t.co/xHrwnvHlhz

“Executives are very worried Fox & Friends will be next. If advertisers start bailing on them, they're screwed,” an insider said.

Trump on Hannity says Attorney General Bill Barr after receiving the Mueller report "made a decision right on the spot” that the president hadn’t obstructed justice.

The Mueller report doesn't cover the counterintelligence investigation: did Russia try to infiltrate the Trump camp? But a new filing in another case shows Moscow had a broad scheme to obtain influence within US political circles.

The GOP will be defending 22 senate seats in 2020. If democrats take 4 of them we control the Senate. Now is the time for every Democrat to pick your favorite seat to flip and do something to help. Volunteer, donate, make calls, tell your friends, just start helping.
