DNC chair outlines pro-worker, union focus in first memo in fight against Trump

"Unions protect workers regardless of identity, offer a pathway to the middle class, and raise standards for union and non-union members alike. Trump's continued Project 2025 threats to unions are a direct attack on the wellbeing of working families everywhere," Martin concluded. "As I take over as chair of the DNC, union workers and labor leaders will be core to my decision-making. As Trump wages his war on working families, Democrats will fiercely answer the call to my favorite old union song, Which Side Are You On? I'll tell you what: Democrats are on the side of the worker. We will show Americans every day that workers in fact do have more power than any billionaire."

Legal analyst Jeff Toobin destroys Trump lawyer’s claim that no crime was committed

Former federal prosecutor and senior CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin has a new in-depth feature in the December 11th edition of The New Yorker examining the legal implications of former Donald Trump associate Mike Flynn’s guilty plea. Toobin reports that Jay Sekulow, President Donald Trump’s defense attorney, is unconcerned about the possibility of charges based on illegal foreign campaign contributions or aiding and abetting the hacking of the Democratic National Committee and John Podesta.

 “I’m not concerned about these bizarre theories,” Sekulow told Toobin. “There is no basis for saying, under the law or the facts, that any of this behavior during the campaign was criminal.”

Other experts disagree with Sekulow’s conclusion.....

Team Trump’s Gotcha on Ukraine-DNC ‘Collusion’ is Total B.S. and Trump Aides Know It -- The Daily Beast

The White House and its allies have a plan to make the Donald Trump Jr. Russia-email scandal go away.

Trump goes beyond saying Russians weren't involved, claims that the DNC hack was a 'hoax'

If Donald Trump’s Thursday morning Twitter stream is designed to provide a smokescreen for the Senate chopping away health care for millions of Americans, he’s definitely lighting up the diesel fuel and damp garbage. Not only did Trump flat-out lie about the nature of former Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson’s testimony before the House Intelligence Committee, not only did Trump continue to dispute Russia’s involvement in hacking Democratic emails, he went into new territory. 

He declared that the hack of the DNC email server never really happened at all....
