That's what they said last week but I wouldn't hold my breath that anything meaningful will be released.

If he doesn’t like the report, DT can give the doctor one of the fake news awards tomorrow.

One day SHS is going to crack and start shouting “I know you are, but what am I?” and it’s going to be amazing.

Predicted comment about Bannon's subpoena: "Look, guys, Mr. Bannon was only with us for a couple months, he had a marginal role in the administration, and then he was fired.  I'm not sure why you and Mr. Mueller's investigation, the legitimacy of which is questionable at best, are so hung up on someone so obviously irrelevant."

But I dream of the day she cracks like Gretchen Weiner.

And now I too have a dream to hold onto

Definitely encourage you to watch:

Senator Cory Booker just took the smile off the face of DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen's face.

I stand up and applaud the passion and outrage he is expressing in the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Thank you Cory Booker.

SORRY!! Worth my 2nd tweet of the day & then I’m done!

WATCH: Sen. Orrin Hatch removes a pair of glasses he's not wearing

News & Guts - Another day, another display where Donald Trump and his staff seem like they are trying to curb freedom of the press.

CNN's Jim Acosta says the President told him to get out of the Oval Office today and minutes later members of the White House press office got in his face, screaming.

Acosta says, "it reminded me of something you might see in less democratic countries when people at the White House or officials of a foreign government attempt to get in the way of the press in doing their jobs."

This, along with April Ryan's treatment last week, is terrifying.  

* I know the person screaming at April was not in the admin.

Tweet from the Justice Department:

DOJ, DHS REPORT: THREE OUT OF FOUR INDIVIDUALS CONVICTED OF INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM AND TERRORISM-RELATED OFFENSES WERE FOREIGN-BORN www.justice.gov/opa/pr/doj-dhs-report-three-out-four-individuals-convicted-international-terrorism-and-terrorism 

All caps ... weird.

Are they also hoping that people conveniently overlook the "international" classification? 

It also doesn't count incidents of domestic terrorism. Because why would we care about, say, a woman run down by a neo-Nazi in Charlottesville?

  I watched a different part of their exchange where she said she's never met with any DACA recipients. I thought it was so odd. If she's in charge of immigration I'd expect her to have been lobbied hard for a meeting.

Right hocus2?! She’s really diving in there to get to those pressing issues, huh? 😐

Ran across this article that outlines logistics of Norway’s common workforce regulations; pretty sure R’s would rather choke on their own pompous spittle before agreeing to any of these:

I was expecting to hear "Two weeks, two weeks" ... but apparently Dr. Jackson is briefing the media right now (I'm C&Ping from Reuters Twitter):

White House doctor says President Trump's medical exam showed he weighed 239 pounds and had a blood pressure of 122/74

White House doctor says cognitive screening exam on Trump was a normal reading (another source says 30/30 on the Montreal Cognative Exam)

"In summary, the president's overall health is excellent," Jackson says, but "he would benefit from a diet that is lower in fat and carbohydrates" and included regular exercise. (source)

[winecat]

45 looks like he weighs way more than 239 pounds. Or am I way off and my hate for him is showing here too? lol

[miniroller]

His weight is 239 lbs.

[winecat]

There's no fucking way his cognitive test results could be normal much less perfect!

No, based on my own weight and height that doesn't feel accurate.

I also refuse to believe that he doesn't have higher blood pressure.

Yeah. I’d think that number is off. 239 does not look like that on a 6’2” frame.

[miniroller]

So HOW can we even believe a GD word this man says?!?
He believes “he’s absolutely fit for duty & will remain fit for duty for THE NEXT TERM should he be elected” Guys.

[pixy0stix]

I thought they said no cognitive test was performed. *eye roll*

Right?  Normal blood pressure eating McD's daily?  Not fucking possible.

Geez. For people supposedly so against feelings and snowflakes ...

[miniroller]

The doctor is now promising he’s not withholding any information at all. That Friday (the day of the exam) was a “very, very good day for me.” 😐

[bowies]

Bull fucking shit that he’s 239 lbs.

[Bernadine]

I've never watched a physician briefing before, so is it just me, or is this guy totally up 45's ass?

What?!?!?  Did Trump promise to pay him ONE MILLION DOLLARS to share that info?  He knows he won't get paid, right? 

[mbcdefg]

[smock]

I can tell you exactly why Trump is "239 pounds." That puts his BMI at 29.9, literally a pound shy of obese. That's also why he pretends to be 6'3"––to avoid being labeled obese.

Also, that notorious "doctor's" letter from the campaign said Trump is 236 pounds. I'm calling bullshit that he's only gained three pounds since the election.
