- President Trump’s proposed 2018 budget, which would substantially cut funding for health care (including an $800 billion cut from Medicaid), food stamps, student loans for the poor and students who take jobs in government or with nonprofits, and disability payments, has “absolutely no chance of being enacted by Congress.” NY Times
- Former CIA Director John Brennan’s testimony to the House Intelligence Committee included the following statement: “I encountered and am aware of information and intelligence that revealed contacts and interactions between Russian officials and US persons involved in the Trump campaign that I was concerned about because of known Russian efforts to suborn such individuals.
