Keeping track of the GOP and Trump Administration:
- 05/02 - Stephen Moore withdraws from consideration as Federal Reserve Board nominee.
- 05/03 - North Korea launches a short-range missile. Another chink in the Kim-Trump bromance.
- 05/03 - A three-judge panel declared Ohio's Republican-drawn congressional map unconstitutional. Extreme gerrymandering.
- 05/07 - The New York Times publishes a story using obtained tax information showing that Trump lost over $1 billion between 1985 and 1994. A master deal maker.
- 05/08 - Donald Trump, Jr. is subpoenaed by the Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee.
- 05/10 - Trade talks with China breakdown. No agreement reached. New tariffs by both sides.
- Doral and Mar-a-Lago revenue drop in a booming economy. I wonder why? Maybe it's the landlord.
- 05/20 - A federal judge denied President Trump’s bid to quash a House subpoena for years of his financial records from his accounting firm.
- 05/22 - New York passes a bill giving Congress a way to get Trump’s NY state tax returns.
- 05/22 - A federal judge denied President Trump’s request to halt a House subpoena for his banking records from Deutsche Bank.
- 05/24 - “If we had had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so,” Mr. Mueller said. Somewhat short of complete exoneration.
- 05/24 - A federal judge issues a temporary restraining order to block part of the border wall construction plan.
