The Trump corruption never stops... We talk about Trump/Sessions and now Montana repubican Greg Gianforte body slammed a reporter... How many Trump people lied on the vital SF 86 forms? I've lost count...Sessions, Flynn, Kushner...the entire GOP seems to be invested with Russia. Also we talk about Trumps Budget and his death care plan. The CBO came out yesterday and 23 million people will lose health care and 51 million will lose health care by 2026.
