| Palmer Report: Sarah Huckabee Sanders gets schooled by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez | ||||||
Republican politicians and pundits just keep lining up to dishonestly attack new Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and it just keeps working out poorly for them. The latest member of the GOP to take on AOC in a battle of wits is the eternally witless Sarah Huckabee Sanders, and well, you can already figure out who won and who didn’t.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders went on Fox News and slammed Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s climate change plan, saying “I don’t think that we are going to listen to her on much of anything, particularly anything that we will leave into the hands of a much, much higher authority.” This is far from the first time in which Sanders has severely twisted Christianity to fit her distinctly un-Christ-like political view, but rarely has it gone quite this poorly for her.
Ocasio-Cortez promptly fired back on Twitter with three Bible verses that spell out how God would actually want us to deal with climate change and the planet:
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez then added “You shouldn’t need a Bible to tell you to protect our planet, but it does anyway.” Not surprisingly, Sarah Huckabee Sanders has had nothing to say in response. It’s still not quite clear why so many prominent figures in the the Republican Party and the Trump regime keep taking on the same freshman Congresswoman. But it is clear that they keep losing whenever they try it.

| Palmer Report: Donald Trump spirals out of control as Senate bill fails to reopen the government | ||||||
Last night Donald Trump gave up on one of his key pieces of potential leverage in the government shutdown when he caved to Nancy Pelosi’s demand that the State of the Union address be delayed until after the shutdown is over. Today things didn’t go anyone’s way when both bills before the Senate ended up failing. Trump is spiraling out of control.
Everyone knew that the first Senate bill, to reopen the government with funding for Trump’s imaginary border wall, would fail. But there was some hope heading into today that the second Senate bill, to reopen the government without any wall funding, might pass. That failed to happen, meaning that Trump is still stuck with his shutdown and without his wall, and America is stuck without a government.
Before the vote took place, Donald Trump posted this whacked out tweet: “Nancy just said she “just doesn’t understand why?” Very simply, without a Wall it all doesn’t work. Our Country has a chance to greatly reduce Crime, Human Trafficking, Gangs and Drugs. Should have been done for decades. We will not Cave!” It seemed to be a signal to Senate Republicans that they’d better not vote to reopen the government without his wall, and sure enough, they caved accordingly.
But the true spiraling chaos came when Sarah Huckabee Sanders tweeted this after both votes failed: “Leader Mitch McConnell and Senator Chuck Schumer are meeting now to see whether or not they can work out of the deadlock. As was made clear to Senator Lindsay Graham, the 3 week CR would only work if there is a large down payment on the wall.” In other words, Donald Trump is still insistent on riding his wall demands all the way to the bottom. This shutdown is harming Americans, but it’s finishing Trump off in real time.

| Palmer Report: The real reason Michael Cohen just got subpoenaed by the Senate Intel Committee | ||||||
Yesterday Michael Cohen announced that he was indefinitely postponing his public testimony before the House Oversight Committee, citing the threats that Donald Trump and Rudy Giuliani were making against his family. Committee Chair Elijah Cummings then vowed that Cohen would end up testifying, which was a clear hint at a subpoena. But now the Senate Intelligence Committee has decided to subpoena Cohen to privately testify instead.
Much has been made today of the fact that the Senate Intel Committee is Republican controlled. But in reality it’s the one congressional committee investigation into the Trump-Russia scandal that’s still functioning in bipartisan fashion. If the Democrats on the committee thought that Republican Chair Richard Burr were pulling any hijinks by suddenly pulling in Cohen before the House can, they would be publicly saying so. Ranking member Mark Warner in particular would be sounding the alarm. His silence is a clear indicator that this isn’t some partisan fight over Cohen. So what’s really going on here?
The two committee investigations in question have been tasked with very different goals. The House Oversight Committee is investigating Donald Trump’s crimes in general, and that includes the role that Michael Cohen played in them. The Senate Intel Committee is investigating Russia’s 2016 election meddling on Trump’s behalf, with the stated goal of preventing it from happening again; Cohen is only relevant in that he acted as a Trump Tower Moscow project liaison.
It’s fair to assume that the Senate Intel Committee decided to forcibly subpoena Michael Cohen today after seeing his sudden hesitance to voluntarily testify at all. But there is no reason to expect that Cohen’s upcoming Senate testimony will have any impact on the prospects for his House testimony. Elijah Cummings can, and will, subpoena Cohen if he ends up concluding it’s the only way to get Cohen to testify before his committee.

Donald Trump’s implicit threat of direct US military intervention in Venezuela is a high-risk gamble that could backfire calamitously. By publicly and aggressively backing the opposition’s bid to supplant him, Trump has presented Nicolás Maduro, the country’s incumbent president, with a very personal, existential challenge.
