Breaking: MOSCOW — Ukrainian authorities announced a probe Thursday into possible surveillance of U.S. Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch before she was dismissed from her post by the Trump administration.

Impeach the Motherfucker!
Even Dana Milbank
He was pretty awful a few years ago but I guess a rising Trump lifts a lot of mediocre boats : This had to be one of the most successful failures — one of the most triumphant defeats — in modern political history. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) clearly failed in the stated aim of …
