In an astonishingly blatant abuse of power, the president of the united states attempted to use the power of his office and the power of the federal government to financially injure a company owned by a man who published journalism the president doesnt like. the "washington post" reporting today that trump has personally been pushing the postmaster general to raise shipping rates on amazon, a company owned by jeff bezos, who also happens to publish the "washington post" and for months, as you pr...

First six months was pretty chaotic. there were people hired that maybe shouldnt have been hired. >> i dont know how president trump will feel about it being called chaotic. we know when he said things before in an interview, it has come back to haunt him. >> well, thats true. hes been honest before in a way that the president doesnt like. but the president has booked this disis sent enough now to i think lead us to believe that the relationship is strong enough. and i think kelly is right about...

What does this tell you about where we are heading into the midterms? >> well, you know, kind of the thing with blankenship, he was -- he was the undisputed, you know, trump clone of the bunch. he -- he had this race-baiting campaign, he was a former businessman, he had an axe to grind. it was really trumpism would have been really bad for donald trump in this case because it would have threatened the senate majority. republicans really need to knock off joe mnuchin if they want to protect that ...

Attitude that this was a bad deal, he doesnt like -- didnt like president obama. he wants to undo the obama legacy at all costs. so if its obamacare, if its the iran deal, hes going to pull out of stuff. hes going to try and wreck it. and they never seem to know who comes next. theyre not -- it doesnt seem like theyre planning for that. so -- you know, fasten your safety belts, i guess. well have to see what happens. >> speaking of safety belts, a gem of an analogy from the "usa today" writing a...

>> it doesnt sound good for the president. i think maybe the larger problem is that its hard to follow the flowchart, and people are confused about, you know, where does the stormy daniels investigation in new york end and the russia investigation begin. its hard to keep the threads separate. that could be a larger issue. >> and one wonders at what point is the stormy daniels/michael cohen, what is the nexus here between -- >> do the streams cross? ghostbusters. >> there you go. at what point is...

Milli billion. thats if the white house gets everything they want. $11 billion is a drop in the bucket when we talk about federal spending. itd be less than 0.3% of the federal budget of this years p deficit, likely to rub some fiscal hawks in congress the wrong way. theyre already rubbed the wrong way on this one. so where would the spending cuts come from? certainly not from the omnibus bill itself, which mandates the extra spending trump doesnt like. instead, the plan is to cut what is known ...

A percentage of what we call discretionary spending? that is appropriations, what theyll be reducing. this is not significant. this is not the kind of things markets would notice or the bond market would cheer. its a publicity stunt. its too small to make much of a difference. you raised the right point, which is the right time to have done this would have been when the president signed the bill. that is he should have said no, im not going to sign it, lets renegotiate. he didnt do that. he appr...

Doesnt like. whether or not threw talked about it, whether he had his facts wrong, he knows giuliani is going to remain loyal to him and that jew will do whatever it is trump wants him to do even if he changes his mind unlike john kelly. >> this is nice washington talk on a friday night. i thought this was about the russian interference in the election. this is why this panel, this is why donald trump will win re-election. this is why donald trump will be fine after the midterms. im dead serious...

I like sarah. shes very resourceful. like she burns facts and she uses the ash to create a perfect smokey eye. >> jon: so will the incident spark changes to this annual dinner that is a fixture in washington? president trump says he thinks so. he said this was a total disaster and embarrassments to our country. fake news is alive and well and beautifully represented saturday night. so lets take it up with our media panel. joe concha is the media reporter for the hill. judy, does this mean the en...

Conclusion. yet youtube trusts the southern poverty law center to censor your videos. that tells you a lot. we contacted youtube for a statement on all this and we asked whether the company had revised its policies since the memo was written last year. the company barely responded. we were linked to a blog post written by don my google lawyer last june, and which he vowed the company would be more aggressive in censoring videos it doesnt like. its worth noting that almost nobody in power is figh...
