Keeping track of the GOP and Trump Administration:
  • The hits just keep on coming. Through10/31/2018, Trump has made 6,420 false or misleading claims over 649 days. Over the seven weeks leading up to the midterms, he averaged 30/day. An amazing rate. 
  • 11/2 - A federal judge denies a stay in the Trump emoluments case. 
  • The Supreme Court refuses to delay a case challenging citizenship questions on the 2020 census.
