Congressional Democrats on Friday called for an investigation into whether White House National Security Adviser Michael Flynn discussed U.S. sanctions in phone calls with Russia's ambassador while President Barack Obama was still in office, conversations that may have broken U.S. law aimed at barring private citizens from conducting diplomacy.

Today, Congressman Ted W. Lieu (D | Los Angeles County) and Congressman Ruben Gallego (D | Arizona) – both of whom served on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces – issued the following statement calling for President Trump to fire General Michael Flynn.

Democratic Congressman Ted Lieu of California is considering introducing a bill that would require a psychiatrist's presence at the White House. As the Huffington Post reports, a physician's presence has long been written into the law, but the POTUS' mental health largely evades discussion—blame stigma for that one. Arguably, installing a mental health professional near the president is a long overdue measure.
Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) says Kellyanne Conway broke the law by promoting Ivanka Trump's clothing and accessories line in an interview on Fox News.
A Democratic congressman from California who has called President Trump a "danger to the republic" will introduce legislation next week that would require the White House provide top aides, including the commander-in-chief, with access to a psychiatrist.

Congressman Ted Lieu, D-California, hosted a telephone town hall Monday night to address the current direction of the nation after a series of actions by President Donald Trump.

Monday on MSNBC's "All In," Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) said President Donald Trump "lies pathologically," and that he added leads to "authoritarianism, and therefore he was "a danger" to the republic.
Lieu said, "Let me say that we have a problem here in America. Our president lies pathologically. He has a staff lie pathologically and then he attacks the free press, he attacks the judiciary and this is what starts authoritarianism. Donald Trump is a danger to republic and we need to wake up and understand the harms that he's causing our country."
Scientists who study the risk of nuclear war recently moved the hands of the symbolic Doomsday Clock to 2½ minutes before midnight — meaning they believe that the world is closer to nuclear catastrophe than it has been since 1953 after the United States and Soviet Union tested hydrogen bombs. The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, which created the clock in 1947, says that President Trump is the main reason for this worrisome development.
