Trump’s tweet comparing the impeachment process to a “lynching” set off a firestorm of Democratic criticism but largely a wrist slap from Republicans, who have grown frustrated but accustomed to the president's inflammatory rhetoric. After more than four years of trying to limit the president's divisive style, asking him to stop tweeting or focus on the economy, the Republican Party has given up any pretense of even trying to rein in the president. Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), the lone African-American GOP senator, said he “wouldn’t use” the term but largely supported the president’s broader frustrations." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

"Here's what I said... there were two reasons that we held up the aid."

Trump has pushed two Ukraine-related conspiracy theories that have been repeatedly and widely discredited: 1) that Ukraine interfered in the 2016 election, not Russia; and 2) that a Ukrainian-owned company whisked away a computer server from the Democratic National Committee (DNC) to the Eastern European country to cover up that fact. The truth is literally the opposite of all of that: Russia meddled in the 2016 election while favoring Trump; the company the president maligns — CrowdStrike — is headquartered in the US, not Ukraine; and there was never an actual physical server for anyone to take to Ukraine anyway." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

The longtime Democratic representative and chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform died Thursday at age 68 due to what his office called longstanding health challenges. The lawmaker, who represented major parts of Baltimore and its outskirts since 1996, was seen as an advocate for cutting prescription drug prices, fighting addiction, strengthening gun control and reforming the criminal justice system. Cummings gained more national prominence in recent years, especially in the aftermath of the widely covered death of Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old black man, in Baltimore Police Department custody. His role as chair of the House Oversight Committee put him in the position of being a major foil to Trump, and in a leading spot in the chamber’s impeachment inquiry into the president." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) the morning after the latest Democratic presidential debate. “I think she makes a lot of sense,” said Bill, a longtime Democrat sipping coffee in the diner. “You know, when she brought up that billionaires and taxing them after about $50 million, two cents of every dollar that they’ve made after, it’s nothing to them, and it would help so many people here.”" #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

"I can think of no one more suited to defend elitism than Stein, a funny man with hands as delicate as a baby full of soft-boiled eggs."--Jimmy Kimmel, host of Jimmy Kimmel Live! The night Donald Trump won the presidency, our author Joel Stein, Thurber Prize finalist and former staff writer for Time Magazine, instantly knew why. The main reason wasn't economic anxiety or racism. It was that he was anti-elitist. Hillary Clinton represented Wall Street, academics, policy papers, Davos, international treaties and the people who think they're better than you. People like Joel Stein. Trump represented something far more appealing, which was beating up people like Joel Stein. In a full-throated defense of academia, the mainstream press, medium-rare steak, and civility, Joel Stein fights against populism. He fears a new tribal elite is coming to replace him, one that will fend off expertise of all kinds and send the country hurtling backward to a time of wars, economic stagnation and the well-done steaks doused with ketchup that Trump eats." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

Instead, the current jail plan calls for four mega-jails, including a 27-floor building here in Queens. Rikers is a human rights atrocity, but building mega jails won’t solve the problem. At a time when we should be ending the jail and prison industrial complex, this proposal will invest ten billion dollars right back into the system. It’s a waste. The city’s crime rate continues to decrease dramatically, with fewer than 7,000 people held on Rikers; way down from more than 20,000 in the nineties. So why are we spending billions of dollars to build sky-high cages stacked on top of each other? It’s also personal for me. My older brother was arrested several times as a teenager for small burglaries. We were poor and scrambled to cobble together enough money to spare him from a night in Rikers. We always came up short, and as a consequence, he was shipped off for a few days each time. The trauma of being locked up in such a horrific place changed him. For a troubled kid involved in non-violent, petty criminal activity, incarceration did not help: it set him back." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

Any difference between the candidates, he said, would be in their “degree of emotional concern.” To prove the depth of his own emotional concern for queer people, Biden decided to act like one. He flirted with multiple men, joked that he was about to come out as gay, and at one point, clasped Anderson Cooper on the shoulder and mimed giving him a kiss. If you weren’t watching the town hall, you probably think I’m joking right now. I assure you, I am not. I expected Biden to say some nice things about Title IX, the Equality Act, and hate crimes legislation, then call it a night. I did not expect to see the former vice president try to show off his ally bona fides by telling a well-dressed audience member he looked like he’d “just stepped out of Gentlemen’s Quarterly” as the man stepped up to ask a question about racial health disparities." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

When the California senator was introduced on to the stage at the event in Los Angeles, she was quick to make an addition. “Thank you, guys,” she said to the audience. “My pronouns are she, her and hers.” Harris’s add elicited applause, but Cuomo’s response did not. “She, her and hers?” he asked, adding jokingly: “Mine too.” Harris replied flatly: “All right”." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

Tillerson refused, arguing it would constitute interference in an ongoing investigation of the trader, Reza Zarrab, according to the people. They said other participants in the Oval Office were shocked by the request. Tillerson immediately repeated his objections to then-Chief of Staff John Kelly in a hallway conversation just outside the Oval Office, emphasizing that the request would be illegal. Neither episode has been previously reported, and all of the people spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the conversations. The White House declined to comment. Kelly and Tillerson declined to comment via representatives. Another person familiar with the matter said the Justice Department never considered dropping the criminal case. Zarrab was being prosecuted in federal court in New York at the time on charges of evading U.S. sanctions against Iran’s nuclear program. He had hired former Attorney General Michael Mukasey and Giuliani, who has said he reached out repeatedly to U.S. officials to seek a diplomatic solution for his client outside the courts." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. shot back after a story in the conservative Washington Times criticized her for a "high-dollar hairdo." "40 million Americans live in poverty under today’s extreme inequality, yet the right-wing want you to blame Democratic socialism for their own moral failures. Our policies, like Medicare for All, advance prosperity for working people," wrote Ocasio-Cortez. "They're just mad we look good doing it," she added, with the hair-flip emoji. She later tweeted another response to the story with criticism of Vice President Mike Pence's stay at a Trump Organization-owned resort in Ireland. "Won’t you look at that: Mike Pence used *taxpayer funds* - not personal ones - to spend several thousand haircuts’ worth of public money on a visit to Trump golf courses. I wonder if Republicans care about corruption as much as they care about a woman’s cut & color," she wrote. " #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

But they’re there to help us with their land.” The US allied with Kurdish militias to fight the terror caliphate, ISIS, not merely to “help them with their land.” Currently, nearly 10,000 ISIS fighters are being held prisoner by the Kurds, but if Turkish forces overrun the Kurds in northern Syria, there is a risk these ISIS fighters could escape." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

The letter, from White House counsel Pat Cipollone, reads more like a political document than a legal one. It claims Democrats are violating President Donald Trump’s right to due process, as well as violating “the Constitution, the rule of law, and every past precedent,” with their inquiry, and suggests the inquiry is politically motivated and seeks to nullify the results of the 2016 election. “Put simply, you seek to overturn the results of the 2016 election and deprive the American people of the President they have freely chosen,” Cipollone wrote. “Many Democrats now apparently view impeachment not only as a means to undo the democratic results of the last election, but as a strategy to influence the next election, which is barely more than a year away.”" #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

Hundreds of angry community residents packed the auditorium of Christ The King High School in Middle Village to denounce the plan to build a new shelter to house 200 adult men at 78-16 Cooper Avenue. The facility, part of Mayor Bill de Blasio’s plan to build 90 new homeless shelters and expand 30 existing sites, would be an employment shelter, meaning residents would need to qualify by having a job to stay there. Community Chairperson Vincent Arcuri Jr. moderated as a stream of speakers came to the microphones. Some raised widely-held concerns—including that the shelter is within a mile of several schools.

In August 1998, 17-year-old Alabama resident Jillian Kirkland collapsed and later died after a night of partying at the State Palace Theater in New Orleans. The coroner could not determine what drug she overdosed from, but law enforcement, politicians, and the media blamed MDMA, better known as Ecstasy. Politicians and prosecutors then turned their focus on the rave promoter behind the party on that August night: James D.
