Gorsuch Filibuster

WaPo breaks down some interesting connections. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-gorsuch-filibuster-is-about-far-more-than-payback/2017/04/05/1281201c-1a32-11e7-bcc2-7d1a0973e7b2_story.html?utm_term=.8e05eed28bdf&wpisrc=nl_headlines&wpmm=1

Bannon and Ivanka: Who are they?

WaPo reveals that Bannon, for all he wants to destroy the administrative state, has gotten rich with the globalized system. What a hypocrite.
And WaPo has a good podcast on the role of Ivanka, and who she is.

Trump and Russia - Connections

WaPo has a good opinion piece on the role of Devin Nunes and how he derailed the House investigation into the Russia question as well as the threat from Russia. The best by WaPo is an interactive graphic that explains the Trump and Russian connections.  I encourage you to look at it.

Sanders and Pinocchios

WaPo gives Sanders 3 Pinocchios for saying that the Dem insistance on 60 votes for Gorsuch is not a fillibuster. It also corrects the idea that Dems have much choice. Sanders has a habit of generalizing and overstating. Just saying.

Resistance School

Interested in changing the direction of the country, or opposing Trump agenda, or promoting progressiveness? Resistance School provides 4 one hour sessions that you can live stream, or watch afterwards. I will probably check it out to see what it has to say.

Nunes and the no good meeting

NYT broke that Nunes met with 2 WH staffers to get the incidental wiretap info and the WaPo provides a good analysis of the situation. Oh what a tangled web we weave......

Isolation of Tillerson

WaPo reports that Sec of State Tillerson is isolated, and frankly, the dude sounds weird. And it is killing off the reputation of the U.S. These people want to destroy the country. Seriously.

Kushner an innovator? Not hardly.

WaPo has a perspective piece by the former editor of the NY Observer who worked for Kushner (who owned the Observer), Essentially, Kushner's role in the Dept. of American Innovation or whatever it is called is a joke. He mismanaged the Observer, is into "vanity" projects, and his main experience is in family businesses. It must be nice to have money.

Nunes and Kushner - What the heck?

DMN reports that Nunes is compromised and that Kushner is getting called before a Senate investigative committee and this after Kushner gets a WH gig???

Tillerson didn't want the job

Great. The Guardian reports that Rex Tillerson did not want the job of Sec of State and that his wife told him it was God's will.  I am bothered by the fact he didn't want the job and that now he thinks he was ordained to do this. I am all about doing God's will but as Sec of State it concerns me.
