She was a tough as nails criminal prosecutor but I will be the first one to tell you, as someone for whom prison reform is the biggest pet issue, that there's little that can happen at the federal level and most of the stuff I care about starts and ends on the governor's desk.
Link?

Also she's really mean to her staff sources say. A lot of people are telling me.

They really fixed the software in version G.
Been saying this for a while. She's really good at maneuvering and is generally a half-step ahead of everyone else in terms of reading the political winds.
No kidding. It could probably stand as it's own solo bill if need be.

Talk radio was going on about bringing RICO charges against George Soros for funding terrorist groups. Theres no reaching these people.

Yeah, but Wales inoculated y'all to weird names lol. Our goofiest one was Eisenhower (to the point that he stole the mispronunciation of his name) and maybe Tricky Dick.

Would that apply to the primary, because that opens up a path for some random to primary Trump.

This is big. If trip doesn't get on the ballot to avoid this he will end up crushing down ballot Republicans.
Yes. This is why we should be passing these laws. Both the right thing to do ethically and politically.
Also, lololol http://www.politico.com/story/2017/09/14/inside-trumps-democratic-deals-daca-schumer-pelosi-242745
Probably not because primaries are run by the parties.
I wonder if Zuckerberg is going to be called before congress soon.
Go away omg

I'm really not either. But I think Andrew Sullivan had a good point, there's something about the left shitting on Harris this far in advance that transcends legitimate concerns about her candidacy to Hillary-esque bitch crackers.
Really don't see how Graham-Cassidy passes in the end. The House just went on recess for eleven days.
Democrats will pass an ACA fix bill, Trump will call it repeal and replace, everyone wins (except congressional Rs because fuck you).
If you live in the NE in the next 10 days you may want to be on the lookout

16 days and plenty of bigger fish to fry. Especially since McConnell seems uninterested.
They're trying to create momentum for their terrible bill. Trying to say "it's either this or Obamacare (or Berniecare)."
Apparently the senate voted against medical research funding amendment for the NDAA. Over the last decade or so, DoD-funded medical research has advanced several innovative treatments for multiple diseases ($80 to $90 million a year for prostate cancer, for instance). Durbin had sponsored an amendment to maintain the funding for FY18 (after expanding funding for FY17), but now they're going to do away with it entirely.
My ex-employer is kind of distraught about it. But since they laid me off five weeks ago, i'm trying to figure out how much i care.

Well, that's one way to get single-payer eventually implemented. Put this crap in and everyone will be onboard for single-payer.
Yeah right.

Why do you keep reading political activists' Twitter accounts and panicking? Were lessons not learned from May through July?
Edit: it's even the same exact Twitter account that gave you guys daily heart attacks for four months?! Why do this to yourselves?

This is so annoying, because I was on the Kamala bandwagon months before any of these fucking donors!
I haven't listened to it yet, but I remember she was on Axe Files a few months ago and basically said she evolved into more liberal positions on immigration and guns because she just flat out didn't know enough about them as a congresswoman and had very insular views, but then became exposed to more about it when she moved into the Senate. Which seems like a perfectly legitimate, non-bullshit reason to me? Unless she gave a different story on PSA.
Trump uses Twitter exclusively to talk to his base. He knows that his believers will dismiss anything they see/read in the media even if it's a direct quote from him. They will find some way to dismiss it so he can bash DACA on twitter and has base will eat it up and at the same time say he will protect DACA immigrants to the media and his base will do the mental gymnastics to dismiss it.
Edit: Also, Paul Ryan is such an ineffectual coward. He can't even criticize Trump without also kissing his ass.

This is totally not going to backfire on Dems.

I don't believe for a second this thing will see the light of day. I'm not seeing panicking anywhere.

There is no downside for Dems. Anyone who would enter a primary for the Democrat presidential candidate won't have stuff to hide in their tax returns. They all release multiple years every time. It's the expectation of the party to do so.
This guy's track record for ACA repeal news is spotty at best

I mean, this is the community that had a multi-page freakout over a tweet that literally just said something about McConnell smiling.
Man I love Kamala Harris. She's great when she just takes herself a bit less seriously. Her laugh is awesome and she's good at joking around with people. Very sharp and smart too.
It may seem weird that I'm focusing so much on her personality traits, but a campaign vs Trump is naturally going to turn into a personality war lol, and that's where Hillary particularly struggled.

Only reason I post his stuff is because
Whilst his news may be inaccurate at times, he is experienced and knowledgable about the details. I'm not going "ohmahgawd we're doomed!", more just posting something that may be of interest.
Edit: Abusive dick defends sexually assualting wanker
We've talked long and hard about how Trump has normalised racism, but gone into less detail about how he's normalised sexual assault and sexism.

Andy Slavitt knows a lot and means well, but his constantly sounding the alarm is going to, if it hasn't already, exhaust the people needed to protest ACA repeals.
Yeah, fair point. This is something that Republicans will try again in the future, so raising alarm bells now when there's almost-no-chance of it passing isn't the best strategy.
