A corollary to Holding Trump accountable, perhaps, but a worthy pursuit on Day One by the Democrats!

Ha has had freedom to drive all the rest of us batty — up to now. The Republican controlled Congress sat on their hands and looked the other way. That is when they were not trying to think up ways to thwart any and all investigations that would expose the dirty pool they and tRump have been playing. The new Sheriff just rode into town today and she did not come to play games. I think I saw a glint in her eye as she took the oath.

DJ tRump’s bad few weeks just jumped forward to what could be the worst time of his life. He thinks he has this under control, but he is wrong — as usual. Things are going to get really ugly, really fast. And she’s only been at it for one day.

It feels like a huge weight is lifting. And getting Pelosi back, knowing how good she is...happiest news day in years.

And so much more to come!

So long as the Dotard doesn't crash the freaking economy or start a nuclear war over a dick-measuring contest, things are looking way up!!

protecting voter's rights is somewhere in the mix as well. When the process to elect our leaders is attacked on so many fronts by one particular party, it's time to clean up and solidify that process. That's a must!

Nunez referred to the ethics committee for leaking to the white house.

and possibly corrupted or interfered w/ ongoing criminal investigations w/ his tampering (or attempts to).

Why else would he sneak into the WH at night? I think more was going on than what we all know.

Prison Dairy Gives Inmates Job Skills — And A Sense Of Purpose

Lisa Morehouse, KPBS, 11/5/14

Inside the secure perimeter in the milk processing facility at Corcoran state prison, Ryan Mons (left) and Edward Wilson give a tour. Wilson’s job involves testing the milk for bacteria. “I take pride in what I do,” he says.

Making license plates is the stereotypical job for a prisoner, but in California’s Central Valley, a group of inmates are doing very different work, supplying milk to almost every prisoner in the state system.

They earn just 35 to 95 cents an hour, but inmates at Corcoran state prison say the job gives them plenty of other benefits.

“I like coming out here to be away from the people in the yard,” Jose Franco tells me. He got locked up for vehicle theft. I watch him move about 20 cows inside the milking building, then gently attach pumps to their teats and start milking. Franco has never worked with animals or agriculture before, but for four months, he’s clocked in here at 4 a.m. every day he can — even though he’s only assigned to work here five days a week.

The dairy sits on 30 acres, on prison grounds but outside what’s called the “secure perimeter.” Corcoran is a high-security prison. Only inmates deemed to pose the lowest security-risk can work at the dairy.

Just outside the milking building, inmate Tony Sao maneuvers a loader to scoop oats and hay which get mixed in a feeder. He’s been at this job for a year, as he does time for grand theft.
