bipartisanreport--2020-06-13--Susan Collins Finally Turns On Trump After Transgender Discrimination

This week — on the fourth anniversary of a mass shooting in Orlando , Florida , at an LGBTQ-oriented night club , no less — the Trump administration finalized a rollback of a rule from the Obama era that protected transgender patients from discrimination in medical facilities .
The removal of anti-discrimination protections for transgender patients is the latest in a long line of steps that the Trump team has undertaken in an attempt to smooth the way for anti-LGBTQ , far-right conservatives — including those in the medical profession , apparently — in the name of so-called “ religious @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) spoke out against the protection rollback and vowed to fight the move .
The allowance for discrimination against LGBTQ people in medical facilities is not the first step that the Trump administration has undertaken against the community .
For example , they ’ ve also worked to punitively ban transgender people from openly serving in the military .
NBC reported as recently as April of this year that standing Trump administration policy meant that “ transgender individuals would have to forgo gender-affirming health care and serve in the military according to their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ preferred gender , a situation that is untenable for many , if not most , trans people.
” Collins didn ’ t exactly spell out a plan for working to “ overturn ” the Trump administration ’ s decision to essentially allow discrimination against transgender patients .
Meanwhile , other leaders in Congress have been a lot more direct in their condemnations of the Trump administration ’ s decision to allow discrimination against transgender patients .
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer ( D-N.Y. ) , for instance , commented : Check out Twitter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Since she has a history of capitulating to the president and party line , not everyone trusted that she ’ d deliver on her promise to fight discrimination .

This week — on the fourth anniversary of a mass shooting in Orlando, Florida, at an LGBTQ-oriented night club, no less — the Trump administration finalized a rollback of a rule from the Obama era that protected transgender patients from discrimination in medical facilities. The removal of anti-discrimination protections for transgender patients is the latest in a long line of steps that the Trump team has undertaken in an attempt to smooth the way for anti-LGBTQ, far-right conservatives — including those in the medical profession, apparently — in the name of so-called “religious freedom.” Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) spoke out against the protection rollback and vowed to fight the move.
It’s no coincidence that Donald Trump announced a rollback of anti-discrimination protections for transgender patients on the anniversary of the Pulse massacre just like it’s no coincidence that he scheduled a rally in Tulsa on the Juneteenth holiday. The cruelty is intentional. — Andrew Weinstein (@Weinsteinlaw) June 13, 2020

‘The Trump Administration‘s decision to eliminate protections for transgender patients is simply wrong. I’ll work to overturn this discriminatory policy.’

The allowance for discrimination against LGBTQ people in medical facilities is not the first step that the Trump administration has undertaken against the community. For example, they’ve also worked to punitively ban transgender people from openly serving in the military. NBC reported as recently as April of this year that standing Trump administration policy meant that “transgender individuals would have to forgo gender-affirming health care and serve in the military according to their sex assigned at birth, not their preferred gender, a situation that is untenable for many, if not most, trans people.”
The Trump administration has finalized a regulation that overturns Obama-era protections for transgender people against sex discrimination in health care. The policy shift defines gender as a person's biological sex. https://t.co/gvYFzeeOcK — The Associated Press (@AP) June 12, 2020
Collins didn’t exactly spell out a plan for working to “overturn” the Trump administration’s decision to essentially allow discrimination against transgender patients. Meanwhile, other leaders in Congress have been a lot more direct in their condemnations of the Trump administration’s decision to allow discrimination against transgender patients. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), for instance, commented:
‘How cruel do you have to be to announce a roll back of health protections for transgender Americans in the middle of a global pandemic, in the middle of #PrideMonth, and on the anniversary of the Pulse nightclub shooting?!’

bipartisanreport--2020-06-13--Biden Doubles Lead Over Trump In New Swing State Poll

President Donald Trump ’ s path to re-election this November is looking increasingly precarious .
In a new poll conducted by the firm EPIC-MRA in Michigan , a state which was key to Trump ’ s electoral college victory in 2016 and will likely be key to the victory of whoever wins in the upcoming general election , presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden leads Trump by a full 12 percent .
That ’ s a doubling of Biden ’ s lead in the state since the most recent poll by the same firm , which was conducted in January @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 12 percent when the perspective of those who are just “ leaning ” towards their preferred candidate is factored in .
In the initial round of poll results , 50 percent of respondents said that they ’ d vote for Biden , and just 41 percent of respondents said that they ’ d vote for Trump .
Those who were undecided were then asked who they ’ d lean towards if the election was happening and they had to choose , and Biden ’ s lead increased by an additional 3 percent overall @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to Trump .
As of Saturday afternoon , the poll results giving Biden an overall 12 percent lead in the state are the most recent poll results to come out of the state .
On average , according to RealClearPolitics , Biden currently leads in the state by 7.3 percent .
It ’ s worth noting , all of these numbers have real-world support beyond “ mere ” poll numbers .
In both 2008 and 2012 , then-presidential candidate Barack Obama and then-vice presidential candidate Biden won Michigan by big margins .
In @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a staggering 16.4 percent .
In 2012 , the Obama-Biden lead slimmed , but they still won by an impressive 9.5 percent — almost double-digits .
In 2016 , Trump won the state by a meager 0.3 percent , suggesting that the state could easily swing back towards the Democrats .
Biden currently leads in an array of crucial swing states , according to RealClearPolitics .
In Wisconsin , he leads by an average of 4 percent , and in Florida , he leads by an average of 3.4 percent .
Senior voters @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Florida electorate — and in recent Quinnipiac University polling , although Trump won among senior voters in 2016 , Trump was losing to Biden among senior voters by 10 percent .

That’s a doubling of Biden’s lead in the state since the most recent poll by the same firm, which was conducted in January.

bipartisanreport--2020-06-13--Insider Defects To Reveal Secret Trump Meltdowns Inside White House

According to White House insiders speaking to NBC , President Donald Trump is increasingly walling himself off from reality as numerous issues continue to plague the United States and his re-election chances end up even further on the rocks .
Reportedly , he has repeatedly dismissed the huge groups of protesters who ’ ve been demonstrating against police brutality around the United States recently , insisting to advisers that they ’ re not “ my voters , ” as if that ’ s an excuse for him assuming no responsibility to care about their concerns .
NBC reports that his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one Republican ally of the president to insist “ that the president appears to be “ spinning wheels ” because he ’ s not setting the agenda on policing and race in the U.S. when he “ should be leading on these issues ” by taking steps like banning tactics like chokeholds.

” That complete disconnect from the seriousness of the situation at hand is not exactly a great look for a president of the United States , let alone a presidential candidate seeking voters who are willing to give him four more years in the White House .
Throughout recent polling , Trump has been losing , big time — on the national level , in important swing states around the country , among women , among voters who are 65 and older , and according to other @ @ @ @ @ @ @ remained laser-focused on his re-election prospects , according to insiders , but he ’ s been blocking out damaging information and refusing to take it seriously .

Those concerns have been bolstered by Trump viewing the protests through a political lens , they said , with anyone calling for change seen as inherently opposing his re-election effort.
” “ Spinning wheels , ” “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of these descriptions sound like the president ’ s re-election effort is exactly on track .
The president is further dividing the country in an attempt to use the divisions to his political advantage — that ’ s what his apparent “ strategy ” boils down to , as the NBC report outlines .

According to White House insiders speaking to NBC, President Donald Trump is increasingly walling himself off from reality as numerous issues continue to plague the United States and his re-election chances end up even further on the rocks. Reportedly, he has repeatedly dismissed the huge groups of protesters who’ve been demonstrating against police brutality around the United States recently, insisting to advisers that they’re not “my voters,” as if that’s an excuse for him assuming no responsibility to care about their concerns.

Throughout recent polling, Trump has been losing, big time — on the national level, in important swing states around the country, among women, among voters who are 65 and older, and according to other important metrics, too.

“Spinning wheels,” “so out of touch” — none of these descriptions sound like the president’s re-election effort is exactly on track. The president is further dividing the country in an attempt to use the divisions to his political advantage — that’s what his apparent “strategy” boils down to, as the NBC report outlines.
It’s led to spectacles like his recent racist rant against Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.). He tweeted:

Trump is out of touch with his own political party — the measure that Trump mentions passed a Senate panel on which Republicans are the majority.

bipartisanreport--2020-06-13--Biden Leads Trump By ‘Historic’ Margin In New Female Voter Poll

Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee and former Vice President Joe Biden is leading President Donald Trump among female voters by a huge , “ historic ” margin , elections analyst Harry Enten explains in a new piece published via CNN .
The last time that a Democratic presidential nominee came close to Biden ’ s current lead among female voters was decades ago .
In 1964 election results , Lyndon Johnson led among women by about a full 24 percent — and currently , Biden ’ s overall lead among women in recent polls is even higher than that already high @ @ @ @ @ @ @ over Trump among female voters of a staggering about 25 percent when the figures aren ’ t rounded , Enten explains .
‘ Biden is earning a historic amount of support from female voters for a presidential nominee when examining polling over the last 70 years .
Take a look at the most recent live interview polls of registered voters from May and June compiled by The New York Times ’ Nate Cohn .
Biden is leading among female registered voters by 59 % to 35 % , a 25-point margin when the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , all we can say is if this election were just left up to men , we ’ d be talking about a clear Trump lead instead of what it is in reality : a big Biden advantage.
’ A “ big advantage ” is impressive stuff for the Democratic presidential candidate .
Earlier this year , Enten adds , Biden led among female voters by 19 percent .
Meanwhile , in the final pre-election polls of registered voters back in 2016 , then-Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton led by 14 percent — @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lead among female voters .
Shortly before the 2016 election , Clinton led among “ likely ” female voters by 13 percent .
Notably , Biden is polling at around the same place that Clinton did when it ’ s specifically male voters under consideration .
By a small margin , male voters as a group have tended towards Trump .
Currently , Trump leads among male voters by about 6 percent , Enten explains .
In 2016 polling , Hillary lost registered male voters by 5 percent and “ likely ” male @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of “ likely ” voters are not undertaken until later in the election cycle than the current point in 2020 , so there ’ s no polling of Biden ’ s standing with “ likely ” 2020 voters yet . )
‘ In fact , the only candidate to win the presidency since 1952 and do as poorly as Biden is doing with male voters right now was Barack Obama in 2012 .
Obama lost them by 6 points , per Gallup ’ s tally .
The fact that Biden is leading overall @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wider margin than Obama won by ( 4 points ) , despite how poorly Biden is doing with men , is another indication of how strong he is with female voters.
’ Biden , of course , was on the ballot alongside Obama when Obama won the White House in 2012 .
Currently , Biden is leading in polls in states that Obama won in 2012 , including Wisconsin , Florida , Michigan , and Pennsylvania , all of which Trump won in 2016 .
Women are not the only group among whom @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for example , has been polling well among voters who are 65 years old and older — he ’ s been polling better than Hillary did , in fact .
In 2016 , Trump secured an estimated 53 percent of the senior vote , while Hillary got just 44 percent .
In recent Quinnipiac University polling , Biden led Trump among seniors by a full 10 percent .

Trump was mostly reading from a teleprompter during his remarks, but it’s unclear whether the remark about his birthday was a part of the pre-written version of the speech. It might not have been — when he comments about his birthday, he seems to look away from the teleprompter. It’s noteworthy that the point at which something occurred to the president that made him diverge from the prepared remarks is when he could circle back to himself.
Trump may have sought to use his appearance at West Point to depict himself as especially “presidential” — or something — but it’s not as though one speech is enough to erase the almost 3 and a half years of utter nonsense to which Trump has subjected the United States in the service of his ego.

He treats the world as a never-ending “ us vs. them ” fight , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of brazen racism .
It ’ s important to note — Trump didn ’ t even get the basic facts right in his comparatively brief discussion of the pandemic .
He claimed that the Coronavirus came from China — but at least some of the strains in the U.S. have been documented to have come from Europe .
The Coronavirus has no nationality , no matter how many times Trump wants to use it as a racist rhetorical bludgeon .
‘ The depth and breadth of the United States military ’ s contributions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to us all .

This Saturday morning, he delivered a commencement address to the class of 2020 at the West Point military academy, and amidst his speech, he launched into a racist rant about the Coronavirus pandemic. He tried to depict the pandemic as some kind of nefarious pathological invasion from China, as if everything in the world can be reduced to one of Trump’s ignorantly simplistic, relentlessly self-centered paradigms. He treats the world as a never-ending “us vs. them” fight, and that perspective includes a whole lot of brazen racism.
It’s important to note — Trump didn’t even get the basic facts right in his comparatively brief discussion of the pandemic. He claimed that the Coronavirus came from China — but at least some of the strains in the U.S. have been documented to have come from Europe. The Coronavirus has no nationality, no matter how many times Trump wants to use it as a racist rhetorical bludgeon.
He said:
‘The depth and breadth of the United States military’s contributions to our society are an everlasting inspiration to us all. I want to take this opportunity to thank all members of America’s Armed Forces, every branch — active-duty, National Guard, and reserve — who stepped forward to help battle the invisible enemy, the new virus that came to our shores from a distant land called China. We will vanquish the virus. We will extinguish this plague.’
He’s openly trying to depict the virus as an “invisible enemy” from China, as if the virus marched across the world just to make Trump look bad and subvert his supposed greatness. It’s the same kind of ignorantly racist rhetoric that he uses when discussing immigration. He’s previously referred to asylum-seekers coming to the U.S. from South America as an “invasion.”
During his West Point speech, Trump also discussed the recent National Guard response to nationwide protests against police brutality, a comparatively very small selection of which turned into riots. Trump thanked the members of the National Guard for promoting “order.” It’s always laughable when Trump tries to depict himself as the law and order president, since he’s the one with numerous associates who’ve just recently faced federal criminal charges.
Still, he said:
‘I also want to thank the men and women of our National Guard, who respond with precision to so many recent challenges, from hurricanes to natural disasters to ensuring peace, safety, and the Constitutional rule of law.’
He glosses over the fact that, in reality, that’s not an entirely accurate representation of the situation. Trump didn’t just want the National Guard to ensure “peace” and “safety.” In fact, he repeatedly insisted that authorities should “dominate” the streets, and he repeatedly seemed to make absolutely no distinction between a small number of rioters and a huge number of peaceful protesters. Trump just wanted a military confrontation.
Trump’s violent ignorance and racism don’t seem like they’ll be enough to ensure his re-election. Currently, presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden leads in national-level polls by an average of 8.1 percent.

As the Coronavirus pandemic has continued to unfold across the United States, the American epidemic of gun violence has also continued to unfold. Outside a bar in San Antonio, Texas, on Friday night, an attacker — who escaped the scene — shot eight people with a long rifle that he had in his car. The attack took place after a group of people including the eventual shooter were denied entry to the bar on account of their apparent intoxication. According to CNN, all of those who the shooter hit are in stable condition.
The only piece of identifying information that’s been publicly reported about the shooter is that they claimed to be a “UFC fighter from California” before opening fire. Police are attempting to identify the subject through means including surveillance footage. CNN reports:
‘Police are searching for a shooter who opened fire after he was denied entry into a bar in San Antonio, wounding eight people, authorities said. The five women and three men injured are ages 23 to 41, and are in stable condition, said San Antonio Police Chief William McManus. There were no fatalities… The shooter said, “‘don’t you know who I am? I’m a UFC fighter from California,'” according to McManus. He said the suspect went back to his car, grabbed “a long rifle” then walked back across the street and opened fire outside the bar.’
So far, since January 1, at least 7,303 people have died from gun violence in the United States, not including suicides, according to the Gun Violence Archive. A full 185 mass shootings have been reported in the U.S. within that same time frame, including the San Antonio incident. Hundreds of children and teens have been among the dead.

If you think it can’t happen, you must have missed the 2018 gubernatorial race in Kentucky. The state’s new governor, Democrat Andy Beshear, could assure you that it’s not only possible to oust far-right conservatives from Kentucky’s government, but that it’s already being done.

McConnell’s most prominent challenger for the Senate in 2020 is a retired 20-year Marine with moderate policies and a growing swell of supporters and campaign donors. In fact, she has so far outraged both Mitch McConnell and all of her primary challengers…combined.
The Hill reports that:
‘McGrath’s campaign reported in a filing with the Federal Election Commission that it raised $11.3 million from April 1-June 3 and currently has $19.3 million in the bank. McConnell’s campaign reported hauling in $7.2 million in the same time period and is sitting on $15.4 million.’

While Kentucky has reelected McConnell in every election for the past 36 years, his approval rating in both the state and nationally, where he is the least popular member of the 100-person U.S. Senate, indicate that he is ripe for being beaten in 2020. Donors appear to believe that McGrath stands a good chance of beating the long-time Senate Majority Leader.
According to a recent campaign ad for McGrath:
‘Amy has beat Mitch’s funding from deep-pocket special interests with donations from Kentuckians in all 120 counties and an average donation of $37. She’s built a grassroots team from the ground up that is capable of going toe-to-toe with Mitch in the fall.’

McGrath’s support is showing real signs of gaining steam just as Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear’s did in his race against former Governor Matt Bevin. While Kentucky, a deep red state in the South, will be a tough nut for any Democrat to crack, it certainly seems to be in the realm of the possible in 2020.
According to Newsweek:
‘With the candidates’ positions on term limits factored in, McGrath was backed by 45 percent of respondents, while McConnell was supported by just 30 percent. But 17 percent of those surveyed were still undecided, and 8 percent said they’d vote for a different candidate.’
I’m not just words, I’m action. I talk about the importance of making every voice heard. That's why we’re joining a lawsuit to make sure everyone has their say at the polls in this primary, and created a website and a hotline number to help people get their ballots. — Amy McGrath (@AmyMcGrathKY) June 11, 2020

A new poll by Polling USA showed how far the president’s numbers had crashed, even into the red states. At the same time, former Vice President Joe Biden has begun to make inroads deeply into the very red Arkansas:
‘Polling USA @USA_Polling #Arkansas Presidential Polling: Trump (R): 47% (-14) Biden (D): 45% (+11) Hendrix College / June 10, 2020 / n=869 / Online (% chg with 2016 Party Vote)’
POTUS and his ever-loyal ultra-conservative U.S. Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) both have slid badly downhill. With less than five months to go, Trump can do a lot of damage. The question is, can he improve in the eyes of Independent Arkansas voters?

It got worse, when the question was directed to only Independent voters in Arkansas, 39 percent approved and 54 percent disapproval rating of Trump. For Cotton, there was a 39 percent to 51 percent margin.
Governor Asa Hutchinson was doing well based upon his leadership style and outreach, according to Talk Business & Politics Editor-in-Chief Roby Brock:
‘Between a pandemic, high unemployment, racial strife and civic unrest, Trump and Cotton appear to be bearing the brunt of voter angst, whereas Gov. Hutchinson is benefiting from his visibility and leadership style.’
In a November poll, Trump had 50 percent approval, 45 percent approval rating. Cotton had 45 percent to 30 percent. Cotton will have to face off against Libertarian Ricky Dale Harrington, Jr. and Independent Daniel Whitfield, who has been trying to qualify for the ballot.
If the presidential election was held today, 47 percent of Arkansas voters would support Trump, 45 percent went for Joe Biden, and five percent wanted a different candidate. Yet, only three percent were unsure.
This was a big change from the 2016 election. Trump took the state with 60 percent of the voters. However, this time Independent voters chose Biden 46 percent to 40 percent. Brooks said:
‘We are seeing trends in other states that resemble the Trump-Biden matchup here, but it has been a decade since we’ve seen independent voters lean to the Democrat versus the Republican in a high-profile race. Is this an aberration or a trend? It’s a snapshot in time during a turbulent month.’
A columnist with The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette spoke about the poll’s results. Emeritus Professor of Politics at Hendrix College Dr. Jay Barth designed part of the poll and helped with the analysis:
‘Arkansas, as across the nation, President Trump’s handling of the COVID-19 crisis, the resulting recession, and the social conflicts following the police killing of George Floyd, have combined to harm his public standing. Trump finds himself “under water” with Arkansas voters just five months before the general election that will determine whether he gains a second term. While Trump’s standing remains strong with Republicans in the state.’
‘While just under half of voters disapprove of his performance, he is still able to eke out a small lead in a prospective matchup with Democrat Joe Biden. While Biden leads with women (50%-42%) and Independents (46%-40%) and has strong leads with non-white voters and voters under 45 years old, President Trump’s standing with other political and demographic groups allows him a lead.’
He continued:
‘Republican U.S. Senator Tom Cotton has no major party opposition to his re-election, but polling of Arkansas’s voters highlights his polarizing nature…The issue on which Cotton has become particularly polarizing inside and outside the state is his view of protestors across the country in the aftermath of the Floyd killing.’
Managing partner with Impact Management Group Robert Coon also contributed to the design and analysis:
‘President Donald Trump’s job approval has fallen significantly in several national polls recently, including the monthly Gallup survey which registered a 10 point drop from 49% to 39% last week. While Arkansas has typically been friendlier territory for the president, this survey shows that it’s not immune from shifts in broader public sentiment.’
Coon ended with:
‘In many ways, Senator Tom Cotton’s job approval numbers in this survey mirror those of the president. As with Trump, Democrats universally disapprove of the job he’s doing (96%), Republicans near universally approve (85%), and Independents net disapprove by 12 percentage points (51% to 39%). Cotton faces some of the same approval dynamics as the president when it comes to gender. Women net disapprove of Cotton’s job performance (-13), while men approve (+7). Recently, Cotton received national attention for an oped he penned in the New York Times calling for an “overwhelming show of force,’
The poll surveyed 869 likely Arkansas voters selected at random on June 9 and 10, 2020. The margin of error was 3.3 +/- percent. The pollsters contacted the participants via text. If qualified people wanted to participate, they were given a link to the online survey. There were 30.7 percent Democrats, 37.4 percent Republicans, 27.8 percent Independents, and 4.1 percent other.

Under Barr’s instruction, they honed in on the journalists. One of the videos showed the forces beating an Australian cameraman.
In addition, the president’s campaign sued another member of the media that had taken a poll unfavorable to POTUS, CNN. Trump wanted to “suppress a poll” that showed the president losing to his opponent Joe Biden in November by 14 points.
CNN’s Brian Stelter interviewed the president’s campaign attorney Jenna Selzer. She said:
‘No pollster in the world would stand behind this as a legitimate poll, according to industry standards. So why would CNN? Why? What industry standards?’
Stelter defended the poll:
‘This poll is in line with other network polls. Pretty much every poll shows Trump losing to Biden.’
Ellis responded:
‘That’s not true. You polled adults, not registered voters, not likely voters, but just adults.’
Stelter explained that the network used a “normal polling procedure:”
‘The only reason CNN published this, it’s junk science. You know that. And you know that if you’re (sic) poll showed the inverse and showed Joe Biden 14 points behind, you wouldn’t have published this poll.’
Stelter began to disagree, but she would not be interrupted:
‘Let me finish!. Are you just going to interrupt me this whole time? Or can we actually have a reasonable dialog. This is why everyone calls you fake news. Because you finally bring me on to actually talk about things and then, yet, you just interrupt me and won’t let me make my point. Your comment about polls and industry standards was totally false. And it’s important to interrupt when you share fake information.’
Ellis responded:
‘You call yourself a journalist, And it’s your job to report the facts and then let the people decide. Your ratings are so bad and so in the tank because America knows that CNN publishes activist agenda against President Trump.’
He argued:
‘CNN is one of the highest rated channels on cable. If you think the ratings are so low — it’s untrue but it shouldn’t matter — why would you bother coming on?’
Ellis replied:
‘I think it’s important for your viewers — the few that there are — that they get the facts and the truth.’
The president’s attorney asked:
‘Why is it President Trump cares about ratings at a time like this?’
The host said:
‘I’m saying President Trump cares about facts and truth. And as a journalist, you should care about facts and truth. And to stand behind this poll is actually embarrassing for you. Because this poll is so far outside the margins and standards.’
Ellis could not let that go and put in the last word:
‘That’s not true.’
Trump’s aides told The New York Times that the CNN poll was just a “phony” “stunt:”
‘[CNN without evidence said Trump attempted to] stifle momentum and enthusiasm for the president and present a false view generally of the actual support across America for the president.’
The CNN’s general counsel David Vigilante turned down the Trump campaign ask:
‘To the extent we have received legal threats from political leaders in the past, they have typically come from countries like Venezuela or other regimes where there is little or no respect for a free and independent media. our letter is factually and legally baseless. It is yet another bad faith attempt by the campaign to threaten litigation to muzzle speech it does not want voters to read or hear.’
Chief Executive of the network One America News Robert Herring approached the White House. The newer network takes information from The Associated Presse and the Russian network RT, among others. Shortly thereafter, Herring tweeted it would be happy to publish a voter poll that would better please Trump:
‘@OANN will be releasing a poll concerning the 2020 presidential race. It looks as though it will be in favor of @realDonaldTrump.’

The Trumps sometimes seemingly try and normalize themselves in the eyes of the public… but it doesn’t work. No number of tweets will erase the facts of the havoc of the Trump regime and the culpability of the people who’ve enabled that chaos, like the president’s daughter and adviser Ivanka Trump. This Sunday, she posted a message on Twitter acknowledging her father’s 74th birthday (which is this Sunday), but it’s not as though many Americans were exactly happy to hear from her.
Alongside a photo of herself as a child with her dad, Ivanka wrote:

A lot of commenters posted about Barack Obama in response to Ivanka’s post. Across Twitter, people posted about “Obama Day” on Sunday; after all, the current president has already long proven how absolutely frenzied he’s ready to get at the slightest mention of his immediate predecessor, Barack Obama. Many parts of Trump’s policy agenda have seemed specifically designed to thwart Obama’s policies for the sake of dismantling the Obama “legacy.”
As one Twitter user — Dr. Lara Carlson — put it on Sunday:
‘Impossible to pick just one @PeteSouza photo of my President. @BarackObama encompassed everything a leader should: strength, compassion, clarity, accountability, affability, humility.’
Neither the president nor any of the rest of the Trumps could claim pretty much any of those adjectives. Trump’s behavior consistently amplifies the polar opposite of “humility” — how else could one explain the president’s egomania that’s gotten to the point where he freely posts a conspiracy theory that an elderly man who was injured by police might be a secret “Antifa” agitator?
President Trump is now accusing Martin Gugino, the 75 year old white man pushed to the ground by police in Buffalo, NY, of faking his fall and being a member of ANTIFA.

New poll results out of Iowa may have Republicans panicking across the country .
In the new Des Moines Register/ Mediacom poll , Democratic Senate nominee Theresa Greenfield leads incumbent Republican Senator Joni Ernst by 3 percent .
Greenfield secured 46 percent of the support from “ likely ” voters , while Ernst had just 43 percent of the support from the same group .

In every state , the Democratic challenger to the Republican incumbent has had a strong showing in polls , although some more than others .

Calling that particular race a toss-up seems generous to the Republicans .
Meanwhile , in Iowa , Greenfield @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with a number of groups .
The Democratic candidate “ leads 71 % to 19 % among likely voters who do not have a religious affiliation and 55 % to 34 % with those who live in cities , ” the Des Moines Register explains , adding that Greenfield also leads among women as a whole and white women without a college degree specifically .
Among women , Greenfield leads by 20 percent , with 54 percent of the support compared to a meager 34 percent for Ernst .
Among white women without @ @ @ @ @ @ @ staggering 60 percent of the support compared to a measly 29 percent for Ernst .

New poll results out of Iowa may have Republicans panicking across the country. In the new Des Moines Register/ Mediacom poll, Democratic Senate nominee Theresa Greenfield leads incumbent Republican Senator Joni Ernst by 3 percent. Greenfield secured 46 percent of the support from “likely” voters, while Ernst had just 43 percent of the support from the same group. Although that leading margin is within the poll’s margin of error (which is 3.5 percent for the Iowa-specific results), the numbers seem to clearly indicate that Iowa’s Senate seat is in play — even though Donald Trump won the state in 2016 by over 9 percent. What other potentially presumed Republican strongholds could flip towards the Democrats this November?
As elections analyst Nate Silver put it:
‘This feels like a little bit of a canary in the coal mine. Ernst has been considered a rising star; Iowa has trended red; she hasn’t had any particular scandals or gotten in any particular trouble. If this race is competitive, the GOP is in a lot of trouble in a lot of places.’

So far, the Cook Political Report rates currently GOP-held Senate seats in a full four states as toss-ups; that list includes seats in Colorado, Arizona, Maine, and North Carolina. In every state, the Democratic challenger to the Republican incumbent has had a strong showing in polls, although some more than others. Arizona Democratic Senate candidate Mark Kelly, for instance, leads incumbent Republican Martha McSally by an average of 9.8 percent, according to RealClearPolitics. Calling that particular race a toss-up seems generous to the Republicans.
Meanwhile, in Iowa, Greenfield’s lead is bolstered by strength with a number of groups. The Democratic candidate “leads 71% to 19% among likely voters who do not have a religious affiliation and 55% to 34% with those who live in cities,” the Des Moines Register explains, adding that Greenfield also leads among women as a whole and white women without a college degree specifically. Among women, Greenfield leads by 20 percent, with 54 percent of the support compared to a meager 34 percent for Ernst. Among white women without a college degree, Greenfield secured a staggering 60 percent of the support compared to a measly 29 percent for Ernst.
Ernst, meanwhile, leads among men, 53 percent of whom support her candidacy. The pattern of a big gap between men’s and women’s support amidst the ongoing electoral cycle carries over into the presidential election. Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden leads among women by an average of about 25 percent, according to recent polling. Meanwhile, he’s losing to Trump among men by about 6 percent.
As J. Ann Selzer — who serves as president of Selzer & Co., which conducted the latest Des Moines Register/ Mediacom Iowa poll — put it, discussing Greenfield’s lead among women:
‘More women typically vote in elections than men. And so if there is this kind of gap, this kind of lead with the majority of voters, it’s very difficult to overcome that. Except that recently the division is strong on both sides.’
Trump and Republicans at large seem to be trying to use division for their political advantage.

‘There are already numerous examples of abuse of the PPP program. We saw it with requests from Ruth’s Chris [Steakhouse] and others. Then, the PPP limitation has been plagued by inequities. Different states not given the same amount of resources, minority-owned businesses, smallest, most vulnerable businesses not getting help… This is why… Senator Kamala Harris and I are calling on the Treasury to disclose this information.’
Indeed — if the Treasury Department released the information in question, then the issues that Porter mentions could have a better chance of getting worked out.
Yet, the Trump administration has again stuck to their commitment to no transparency. Although the president’s businesses were specifically excluded from eligibility for a lot of the Coronavirus-tied bailout money in question, that lack of transparency has previously been used to hide Trump making money off the presidency via government expenditures at his properties.
There’s no shame in securing a public loan, but immense shame in hiding where taxpayer dollars are flowing. That’s why I introduced the bipartisan TRUTH Act, to disclose all loans over $2mm and ensure transparency and accountability. Spread the word. https://t.co/DjrfT7S6I5 — Rep.

bipartisanreport--2020-06-14--Ben Carson Embarrasses Himself During ABC Sunday PR Disaster

President Donald Trump has consistently shown his utter disregard for basic standards of decency when it comes to issues like the names of military bases across the U.S. that are named after Confederate generals .
Trump has adamantly opposed renaming these bases , thereby seemingly trying to protect a legacy that is inextricably tied to leaders of the soldiers who fought and died on behalf of slavery — and during an appearance on ABC ’ s This Week on Sunday , Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson refused to acknowledge a problem with the president ’ s perspective .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Carson dubiously excused the president ’ s defense of legacies that are tied to the Confederacy and airily called for Americans to “ work together , ” although he himself works for a staggeringly divisive president .
‘ We obviously should look at things from multiple perspectives because we are a diverse country .

I don ’ t have any problem with him expressing his opinion , as long as he ’ s willing to listen to other @ @ @ @ @ @ @ re all willing to listen to other opinions , because , as I ’ ve said before , the United States of America is a destination country — it ’ s a place where other people want to come to… and there ’ s a reason for that .
And we ’ re the only ones who can destroy ourselves , and we have to stop putting everything into the arena of combat .
Let ’ s see if we can find a way to work together , because if we don ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Has Carson ever read the president ’ s Twitter feed for any significant amount of time ?
Has he listened to many of the president ’ s other public remarks over recent weeks and months ?
He proclaims that Americans need to “ work together ” — while working for the guy who turned a pandemic into a political football .
Trump claimed that coverage of the Coronavirus , which has now killed over 110,000 Americans and counting , was a conspiracy to make him look bad — and yet , Carson apparently @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and proclaiming that Americans need to “ work together.
” Besides — racism is not a matter of opinion !
The leaders of the Confederacy fought on behalf of slavery .

Asked about Trump ’ s plans to deliver a Republican @ @ @ @ @ @ @ violent KKK attack on civil rights advocates , Carson dubiously added : Again — racism is not just a matter of opinion !
In any sane world , an adviser to the president of the United States wouldn ’ t try and talk about the “ both sides ” of an issue in which the president chums it up with racism .

Through the course of his remarks, Carson dubiously excused the president’s defense of legacies that are tied to the Confederacy and airily called for Americans to “work together,” although he himself works for a staggeringly divisive president.
Carson said:
‘We obviously should look at things from multiple perspectives because we are a diverse country. We have diverse opinions, and his opinion is one of them as well.

Has Carson ever read the president’s Twitter feed for any significant amount of time? Has he listened to many of the president’s other public remarks over recent weeks and months? He proclaims that Americans need to “work together” — while working for the guy who turned a pandemic into a political football. Trump claimed that coverage of the Coronavirus, which has now killed over 110,000 Americans and counting, was a conspiracy to make him look bad — and yet, Carson apparently finds little to no contradiction between that and proclaiming that Americans need to “work together.”
Besides — racism is not a matter of opinion! The leaders of the Confederacy fought on behalf of slavery. Military installations and other monuments with Confederates’ names on them are just one step away from directly honoring slavery. They treat the Civil War as if it was some kind of gentleman’s disagreement rather than a war in which one side was clearly and unequivocally morally wrong.
Asked about Trump’s plans to deliver a Republican convention speech on the anniversary of a violent KKK attack on civil rights advocates, Carson dubiously added:
‘We’ve reached a point in our society where we dissect everything and try and ascribe some nefarious notion to it… We need to move away from being offended by everything, of going through history and looking at everything, of renaming everything.’
Again — racism is not just a matter of opinion! In any sane world, an adviser to the president of the United States wouldn’t try and talk about the “both sides” of an issue in which the president chums it up with racism.

“We need to move away from being offended by everything, of going through history and looking at everything, of renaming everything,” Carson says when asked if it’s appropriate for Trump to deliver convention speech on anniversary of “Ax Handle Saturday.” https://t.co/av1o0DGeWq pic.twitter.com/WvTW8AvtXz — This Week (@ThisWeekABC) June 14, 2020

‘The Heartbeat of racism is denial,’ Ibram X. Kendi said this morning on MSNBC amidst another horrific shooting and its aftermath. Rayshard Brooks died of an unnecessary police gunshot wound in Atlanta, GA on his daughter’s eighth birthday. His crime? Falling asleep in his car at a Wendy’s. The police must have a systemic change. People imagine they would appreciate being relieved of non-police duties. Some of those are dealing with Americans who are homeless, have a mental illness, or have a drug addiction. Instead of dealing with this issue, Donald Trump had something else on his mind.
His first tweet sarcastically dealt with Michael Moore’s warning to the country that Democrats should not underestimate the number of “white male Trump supporters” and their rage:
‘Michael Moore: I‘m ‘Begging‘ Dems — Don‘t Underestimate White Male Trump Supporter‘s ‘Rage,‘ ‘Emotion‘ https://breitbart.com/clips/2020/06/12/michael-moore-im-begging-dems-dont-underestimate-white-male-trump-supporters-rage-emotion/… via @BreitbartNews Well, he got it right in 2016?’
Of course, that kicked off Trump’s me-time. After all, today is Trump’s birthday. In his me-time world, today was even more focused on the president. He tweeted:
‘Thank you Philip!’
A Trump supporter, Phili Shcuyuer, sent him a Happy Birthday suck-up:
‘#HappyBirthdayTrump is most Jack can muster. Anything more might show respect. Happy Birthday Mr. President, Who but you could’ve handled Dem/media attack on USA? We’ve never been in more capable hands. Thank you for your service. 7:32 AM · Jun 14, 2020·Twitter Web App’
This first response to Donald Trump is what makes Trump followers so dangerous. Take a look at these other responses to his tweets below: The Mueller Report Adventures: In Bite-Sizes on this Facebook page .

In 2002, Mary Trump spoke with The New York Times and provided information about the Trump family’s tax abuses, providing documentation of their financial corruption and abuse, a story that won the Pulitzer Prize. Now, Mary plans to release a tell-all book called Too Much And Never Enough on August 11, shortly before the Republican National Convention.
According to The Daily Beast:
‘One of the most explosive revelations Mary will detail in the book, according to people familiar with the matter, is how she played a critical role helping The New York Times print startling revelations about Trump’s taxes, including how he was involved in “fraudulent” tax schemes and had received more than $400 million in today’s dollars from his father’s real-estate empire.’
Time to revisit this. It has now been revealed that the principal source for this 2018 investigation by the @nytimes was Trump's NIECE, Mary Trump. She will be releasing a tell-all book in August, just before the GOP convention. Bring it on, Mary!https://t.co/AzWOU42U9w — MURRAY (@murray_nyc) June 15, 2020

Part of the book will deal with a story that made the rounds in the press previously about Donald and Maryann’s cruelty toward their older brother who contested their father’s will, cutting off his health insurance that covered his disabled son in retaliation.
‘After Fred Jr.’s children brought their messy court case against the family—contesting their grandfather’s will and alleging it was “procured by fraud and undue influence” on the part of Donald and his siblings—they highlighted Donald’s callous treatment of family members as he, along with siblings Maryanne and Robert, cut off the medical benefits to his nephew’s sick child William, who was born with cerebral palsy. The move, the family said at the time, was payback for Mary and Fred the 3rd’s challenge to the will.’
