Someone must be spiking the water coolers in the Senate office building with testosterone.

**[Senate overwhelmingly votes to curtail Trump’s power to ease Russia sanctions](https://www.washingtonpost.com/powerpost/senate-overwhelming-votes-to-curtail-trumps-power-to-ease-up-on-russia-sanctions/2017/06/14/8c02d73a-5134-11e7-be25-3a519335381c_story.html)**

> The Senate voted overwhelmingly Wednesday to allow Congress to block any efforts by the president to scale back sanctions against Russia, and to strengthen those sanctions in retaliation for Moscow’s alleged interference in the 2016 election and its actions in Syria.
> 
> The vote of 97 to 2 is a sharp rebuke to President Trump’s posture on Russia and his resistance to the intelligence community’s assessment that the country was behind efforts to influence the election he won.
> 
> The two senators who voted against the measure were Republicans Rand Paul (Ky.) and Mike Lee (Utah)…

It will be interesting to see what Trump tweets about this. Mean Senate–trying to break up his bromance with Vlad.  
Not to mention:  
**[Trump calls House health bill that he celebrated in the Rose Garden ‘mean’](https://www.washingtonpost.com/powerpost/trump-calls-house-health-bill-that-he-celebrated-in-the-rose-garden-mean/2017/06/13/ede11784-5060-11e7-b064-828ba60fbb98_story.html)**

> President Trump told Republican senators Tuesday that the House GOP health-care bill was “mean” and he expects the Senate to “improve” the legislation considerably, according to several Republicans familiar with the gathering.
> 
> Trump’s comments, during a White House lunch with a group of 15 GOP senators from across the ideological spectrum, signaled that he may be willing to embrace a less-aggressive revision of the Affordable Care Act than Republicans have previously promised.
> 
> The meeting came as Senate Republicans were struggling to build support for their health-care rewrite among conservatives who are concerned that the legislation is drifting too far to the left…

I guess someone finally told DJT what was [del]not[/del] in it.

“Drifting too far to the left”?? :smack: Yeah, it might accidentally help someone. Can’t have that.
