Dems who fumed over 'sources and methods' in Nunes memo demanding full Mueller report Democrats prepare to subpoena full, unredacted report; Rep. Mark Meadows and Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz react.

Howard Kurtz: Are media using one #MeToo episode to take down Biden? 'MediaBuzz' host Howard Kurtz weighs in on recent accusations by Lucy Flores, a former Democratic assemblywoman in Nevada, accusing former Vice President Joe Biden of some inappropriate touching, and how this might not be his real problem. Biden might in fact not be liberal enough for the liberal precincts of the media.

Tom Del Beccaro: Joe Biden's 2020 run is over before it started – here's why Joe Biden is in the news again. Yes, wants to be president. This time, however, he is in the news because of another well-timed allegation about his behavior, which may keep him out of the race altogether.

Joe Bastardi: Climate change agenda is being driven by hysteria, not facts In this age of political hysteria, we must all educate ourselves on the facts – the actual science.

Peggy Grande: Schiff is my congressman, and he's marching to the beat of a delusional drummer Peggy Grande on why Rep. Adam Schiff needs to let go of lies and accept the Mueller report.

Gutfeld on Trump's amazing week -- and the media's very bad one All right. So about this collusion thing.

New York Post: How Republicans should replace ObamaCare “If the Supreme Court rules that ObamaCare is out, we’ll have a plan that is far better than ObamaCare,” President Trump pledged Wednesday. Democrats and their media toadies attacked, claiming Trump will sucker-punch consumers with “junk” plans, abandon people with pre-existing conditions and cause “around 20 million Americans” to lose coverage, as New York Times columnist Paul Krugman warns. These claims are lies.

Rep. Chip Roy & Robert Henneke: Trump is right to decline to defend ObamaCare President Trump has had a very good week. But no decision he has made is more consequential or more correct than his decision to stand with Texas and 19 other states in challenging the constitutionality of ObamaCare.
