ഓറിഗണ്: യു.എസ്. കോണ്ഗ്രസിലെ ആദ്യ ഇന്ത്യാക്കാരിയും ആദ്യ മലയാളിയുമായ കോണ്ഗ്രസ് വുമണ് പ്രമീള ജയപാലിന്റെ (വാഷിംഗ്ടണ് സ്റ്റേറ്റ്) മൂത്ത സഹോദരി സുശീല ജയപാല് ഓറിഗണ് സ്റ്റേറ്റിലെ മള്ട്ട്നോമാ കൗണ്ടി കമ്മീഷണറായി തെരെഞ്ഞെടുക്കപ്പെട്ടു. ഓറിഗണില് ഇലക്ഷനില് ജയിക്കുന്ന ആദ്യ ഇന്ത്യാക്കാരിയാണ്.
സുശീല ജയപാലിനു 12,869 വോട്ട് ലഭിച്ചു. 58.5 ശതമാനം. 50 ശതമാനത്തില് കൂടുതല് വോട്ട് കിട്ടിയതിനാല് ഇനി ഇലക്ഷനില്ലാതെ തന്നെ അവര് വിജയിയായി. മല്സരം പാര്ട്ടി അടിസ്ഥാനത്തിലല്ല.
പോര്ട്ട്ലന്ഡിന്റെ പ്രാന്ത പ്രദേശമാണു മള്ട്ട്നോമ കൗണ്ടി. 20 വര്ഷമായി ഇവിടെ സാമൂഹിക പ്രവര്ത്തകയാണു അറ്റോര്ണിയായ സുശീല, 55. പ്ലാന്ഡ് പേരന്റ്ഹുഡ് തുടങ്ങിയ സംഘടനകളുമൊത്ത് അവര് പ്രവര്ത്തിക്കുന്നു. 26, 23 വയസ് പ്രായമുള്ള രണ്ടു മക്കളുണ്ട്.
സാധാരണക്കാര്ക്കും പാവങ്ങള്ക്കുംജീവിക്കാന് പറ്റാത്ത സാഹചര്യങ്ങള് ഉണ്ടെന്നും അതില്ലാതാക്കുകയാണു പ്രധാന ലക്ഷ്യമെന്നും അവര് പറയുന്നു. അഫോര്ഡബിള് ഹ്സിംഗ്, കൗണ്ടിയുടെ ജീവിത നിലവാരം ഉയര്ത്തുക, തുടങ്ങിയവയാണു മറ്റ് ലക്ഷ്യങ്ങള്
സഹോദരി പ്രമീളയെപ്പോലെ പതിനാറാം വയസില് പഠനത്തിനായാണു സുശീലയും അമേരിക്കയിലെത്തിയത്. വിദ്യാഭ്യാസമാണു ഏറ്റവും സുപ്രധാനമായ കാര്യമെന്നു മാതാപിതാക്കള് കരുതി. സ്വാര്ത്ത്മോര് കോളജില് നിന്നു ബിരുദവും ചിക്കാഗോ ലോ സ്കൂളില് നിന്നു നിയമ ബിരുദവും നേടി. അഡിഡാസിന്റെ ജനറല് കൗൺസലായിരുന്നു.
അതില് ത്രുപ്തയകാതെ സമൂഹിക പ്രവര്ത്തനത്തിലേക്കു തിരിയുകയായിരുന്നു. ഇലക്ഷനില് മല്സരിക്കാന് പ്രേരിപ്പിച്ചത് സഹോദരിയാണ്. പ്രസിഡന്റ് ട്രമ്പിന്റെ നയങ്ങളോടുള്ള എതിര്പ്പും ഇലക്ഷ്ണില് മല്സരിക്കാന് പ്രേരകമായി
പിതാവ് പാലക്കാട് മുതുവഞ്ചാല് വീട്ടില് ജയപാല മേനോനുംഅമ്മ മായയും ബാംഗ്ലൂരാണ് താമസം.

1] “Trump Orders Help For Chinese Phone-Maker After China Approves Money For Trump Project
“Trump will profit from Indonesian resort project that will get $500 million in Chinese loans in a deal sealed days before before his tweet ordering help for ZTE”. It is a violation of federal ethics.
2] Jared Kushner was apparently not pleased when he attended a 2016 Trump Tower meeting that he expected would provide dirt on then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, according to recently released interviews with the man who arranged the meeting. He was expecting more.
3] U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley defends Israel, then walks out of U.N. meeting as Palestinian envoy begins speaking CBS
4] Trump’s latest financial disclosure form reports liabilities to banks and financial services firms of between $356.15 million and $480.35 million, including up to $175 million to Deutsche Bank U.S. and $150 million to Ladder Capital, a listed real estate investment trust.
Robert Mueller, the special counsel heading the federal inquiry probing alleged Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential race, subpoenaed records regarding Trump’s loans in December 2017, as well information on former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, according to the New York Times.
5] "These aren't people. These are animals." Trump used the harsh rhetoric to describe some undocumented immigrants during a California "sanctuary state" roundtable.
6] Senate Judiciary Committee just released the transcripts of interviews about the Trump Tower meeting. Committee tried to release ALL transcripts but were blocked repeatedly by Republicans. The public deserves to see them and judge for themselves. Release the transcripts.
7] Up to 20% of incarcerated people in America are imprisoned because they lack the money to pay cash bail or fines for minor violations. Some 400,000 people are incarcerated today for crimes they haven't been convicted of. That is insane.
8] Team Trump has no exits or off-ramps left. Mueller is coming. All they have left are delaying and distraction games, which work on hardcore Trumpers but not on normies -- and definitely not on DoJ. Clock's ticking....louder by the day.
* don’t let koothara & bobby distract you. Do not watch FALSE fox news. Watch CNN, NPR, Bloomberg, BBC
Trump got closer to being deposed on Thursday, when a New York state appeals court ruled that accuser Summer Zervos's case would move forward.
Zervos, an ex-Apprentice contestant, filed a defamation suit against trump just three days before his inauguration in 2017, claiming Trump "debased and denigrated" her with "false statements."
After Zervos went public with allegations that, in 2007, Trump pressed his genitals against her and kissed and groped her without her consent, Trump said it "never happened." He claimed the accusations were "totally false" and said Zervos and his other accusers had fabricated their stories.
she can be your wife, daughter, sister or mother- you trump malayalee
Despite what one of his attorneys might claim, Trump is not “above the law” and can be indicted for a crime or hit with a subpoena, according to a Fox News senior judicial analyst on Thursday.Judge Andrew Napolitano cited one case in particular, United States vs. Nixon, as the precedent in determining why a president can be charged with a crime despite his status and duties as head of the executive branch.Napolitano also pointed to the investigation of former President Bill Clinton by then independent counsel Ken Starr in the 1990s.
“Look, the president is not above the law. He can be indicted like anyone. How do we know that? Because Ken Starr waved a sample indictment in front of Bill Clinton and said, ‘We’re gonna present this to the grand jury,’” Napolitano told Fox Business. “And instead of that, Bill Clinton pleaded guilty to an information. An information is basically an indictment to which the defendant agrees; therefore you bypass the grand jury. Same thing happened with General [Michael] Flynn, George Papadopoulos and the others who pleaded guilty in the present case.”
Napolitano’s comments followed several recent claims by one of Trump’s personal attorneys, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, that the president could not be indicted or subpoenaed. Napolitano asserted that Giuliani, also a former federal prosecutor, knows that Trump could, like any other citizen, face either predicament.

House intel Republicans said they found no evidence of collusion or crimes. Perhaps that's because they didn't look for either.
A bombshell report published Saturday by The New York Times reveals the existence of a second Trump Tower meeting and provides the first indication that a country other than Russia offered to help the Trump campaign in the months leading up to the 2016 presidential election.
The report — which details an August 2016 meeting between Donald Trump Jr., Blackwater founder Erik Prince (who is also the brother of Betsy DeVos), an emissary for two Arab princes, and an Israeli social media specialist promising a plan to help Trump win the election — opens up an entire new line of questioning about why Trump associates were so eager to meet with representatives of foreign governments offering assistance to the campaign.
“It is illegal for foreign governments or individuals to be involved in American elections, and it is unclear what—if any—direct assistance Saudi Arabia and the Emirates may have provided. But two people familiar with the meetings said that Trump campaign officials did not appear bothered by the idea of cooperation with foreigners,” The Times reported.
The revelation of a second Trump Tower meeting during which Donald Trump Jr. received an offer of help from officials representing two other foreign governments — the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia — also blows a huge hole in the already flimsy final report released this month by Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee.
House intel Republicans ended their Russia investigation in March, declaring that they found no evidence of wrongdoing, no collusion, and no crimes committed by anyone they interviewed or investigated. They also broke with the intelligence community and said Russia had not attempted to help Trump win the election.

3] White woman calls security on “suspicious man walking the bike path with a baby” in Washington DC- wakeup, Malayalee- are you different in the eyes of the white?
4] Special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe is looking more closely into Middle Eastern involvement during Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, as it is now exploring the role of an Israeli entrepreneur with ties to a Gulf monarchy, according to people familiar with the matter.
5] So far, not a single member of the Trump family has been found to be secretly working for the benefit of the United States of America. But there are millions of illiterates who regard him as their hero, there are several malayalees too belong to the group.
