Trump Timeline ... Trumpocalypse

Russia’s cyberattack on the U.S. electoral system before Donald Trump’s election was far more widespread than has been publicly revealed, including incursions into voter databases and software systems in almost twice as many states as previously reported.
In Illinois, investigators found evidence that cyber intruders tried to delete or alter voter data. The hackers accessed software designed to be used by poll workers on Election Day, and in at least one state accessed a campaign finance database. Details of the wave of attacks, in the summer and fall of 2016, were provided by three people with direct knowledge of the U.S. investigation into the matter. In all, the Russian hackers hit systems in a total of 39 states, one of them said.
The scope and sophistication so concerned Obama administration officials that they took an unprecedented step -- complaining directly to Moscow over a modern-day “red phone.” In October, two of the people said, the White House contacted the Kremlin on the back channel to offer detailed documents of what it said was Russia’s role in election meddling and to warn that the attacks risked setting off a broader conflict.
The new details, buttressed by a classified National Security Agency document recently disclosed by the Intercept, show the scope of alleged hacking that federal investigators are scrutinizing as they look into whether Trump campaign officials may have colluded in the efforts. But they also paint a worrisome picture for future elections: The newest portrayal of potentially deep vulnerabilities in the U.S.’s patchwork of voting technologies comes less than a week after former FBI Director James Comey warned Congress that Moscow isn’t done meddling.
U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions is talking to the Senate Intelligence Committee today, and Donald Trump should be worried.
The highest law-enforcement officer in the land has given conflicting answers about meetings with Russians and will be asked to explain his role in firing FBI chief James Comey. It's also not clear how much Sessions will say in between claims that he can't say anything because of executive privilege.
The intel committee’s decision to invite Sessions today – just five days after Comey testified before the same panel – shows just how seriously senators are taking the matter, Republicans and Democrats alike.
Yes, there are Trump loyalists making noises about whether he might fire special counsel Robert Mueller. With Trump, you can never say never, but don’t bet on it. It’s more telling to look at who isn't calling for Mueller's exit: Republican senators, many of whom seem plainly tired of the spot Trump has put them in.
Our well-thumbed Watergate history books tell us Richard Nixon was cooked when his own party could no longer defend his actions. Trump is a long, long way from that, but keep an eye on the Senate Intelligence Committee. If Trump loses them, he is lost.

You’re Probably Going to Need Medicaid
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/13/opinion/youre-probably-going-to-need-medicaid.html
Imagine your mother needs to move into a nursing home. It’s going to cost her almost $100,000 a year. Very few people have private insurance to cover this. Your mother will most likely run out her savings until she qualifies for Medicaid.
This is not a rare event. Roughly one in three people now turning 65 will require nursing home care at some point during his or her life. Over three-quarters of long-stay nursing home residents will eventually be covered by Medicaid. Many American voters think Medicaid is only for low-income adults and their children — for people who aren’t “like them.” But Medicaid is not “somebody else’s” insurance. It is insurance for all of our mothers and fathers and, eventually, for ourselves.
The American Health Care Act that passed the House and is now being debated by the Senate would reduce spending on Medicaid by over $800 billion, the largest single reduction in a social insurance program in our nation’s history. The budget released by President Trump last month would up the ante by slashing another $600 billion over 10 years from the program. Whether the Senate adopts cuts of quite this magnitude or not, any legislation that passes the Republican Congress is likely to include the largest cuts to the Medicaid program since its inception.
Much focus has rightly been placed on the enormous damage this would do to lower-income families and youth. But what has been largely missing from public discussion is the radical implications that such cuts would have for older and disabled Americans.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions is asking congressional leaders to undo federal medical marijuana protections that have been in place since 2014, according to a May letter that became public Monday.
The protections, known as the Rohrabacher-Farr amendment, prohibit the Justice Department from using federal funds to prevent certain states "from implementing their own State laws that authorize the use, distribution, possession or cultivation of medical marijuana."
In his letter, https://www.massroots.com/news/exclusive-sessions-asks-congress-to-undo-medical-marijuana-protections (first obtained by Tom Angell of Massroots.com) and verified independently by The Washington Post, Sessions argued that the amendment would "inhibit [the Justice Department's] authority to enforce the Controlled Substances Act."
Just smoke and mirrors, folks . Trump did fuck all for this country but bring drama.
