Just watched a very insecure Oprah Winfrey, who at one point I knew very well, interview a panel of people on 60 Minutes. The questions were biased and slanted, the facts incorrect. Hope Oprah runs so she can be exposed and defeated just like all of the others!

I saw a promo for that last night. Wasn't that a rerun from like 5 months ago? Or was it new?

It was new. They were following up with the same people from the original broadcast.

Rick Lazer, the Johnny Doc/Bob Brady pick, is entering the PA-01 race.

I think Ahmad is better.

Oh good, that's what we need, more face time for those idiot trolls.

Medicaid and SNAP 'reform' is going to be costly and hard to implement:

But the federal government said in a letter to state Medicaid directors last month that it would not help pay for “job training or other employment services, child care assistance, transportation, or other work supports to help beneficiaries prepare for work or increase their earnings.”

Similarly, in Wisconsin, GOP Gov. Scott Walker is proposing new eligibility requirements for food stamps. His office estimates the changes would cost the state roughly $38 million a year in operating expenses and $22 million for implementation costs, such as computer upgrades.

In an email to Governing, Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson writes: “We have carefully evaluated how the implementation of the work requirement would impact our budget, and we have found an efficient way to administer the program through our existing online application site. ... We do not anticipate adding staff to implement the program.”

And before Kentucky's waiver was approved, the state amended it from a phased-in work requirement to a flat 20 hours per week, citing administrative burdens.

Kentucky also expects to drop close to 100,000 people from its Medicaid rolls if and when the new eligibility rules go into effect. (A lawsuit is currently pending.) That might save the state money, but Gov. Matt Bevin said in a January press conference that because the federal government won't reimburse states for job training expenses, "increases in job training efforts might offset any savings from fewer Medicaid beneficiaries."

so they will be spending the same amount of money to cover 100,000 less people? Success! And Arkansas is going to increase bureaucracy without hiring anyone new? This will work out well!

If there was ever an article that perfectly summarized (without trying) why there is such a political divide in this country, that is it. I acknowledge that "liberal" media, such as MSNBC, does its share of spinning but I think it is beyond debate that Fox News is in a league all its own when it comes to spinning news to favor those they favor.

I wonder when he's going to tweet blast the high school students who have been criticizing him.

I don’t see the problem. The president is simply politicizing the violent deaths of children in order to discredit a law enforcement agency because they’re investigating a hostile foreign power’s interference in our election process since the investigation has put extent of that president’s criminal acts under the microscope. All politicians do it.

we won!

Map has 8 Clinton CDs and 10 Trump CDs and good chances for Dems in 4 Trump ones. If we get to 12 D in PA, that's 1/6 of the way to taking the house in one state alone.

PA 7 moved so far north. So insane. Don't think any of the current candidates live anywhere near it.

They renumbered the districts. Old 7 is new 5. 15 is now 7. 8 is 1. etc.

I need a gigantic map to tell me if I'm still in PA-02 (now 03) or if I'm in PA-04. Guessing I'm in 03. Looks nearly identical.

Okay, so I was in 15 and am now in 9... Who's representing new PA-9?

Remarkably unhelpful. It appears to be Barletta according to Dave Wasserman's twitter where he's run though them district by district for PVI values.

Costello is gone with that redraw. Pretty solid D district from the looks of it.
