More rumors that Don wants to be his own CoS. He's doing a shitty job at managing himself on a minute to minute basis, so why not let him freewheel. That, however, means that he is thinking about firing Kelly.

She tried to walk back what can only be called bullying by offering a sad apology (didn't mean to offend such a brave young man), but he flipped the table and clapped back that it was all about the advertising so she could suck it.

“On reflection, in the spirit of Holy Week, I apologize for any upset or hurt my tweet caused him or any of the brave victims of Parkland,” she said, extending an invitation for Mr. Hogg to appear on the show.

Mr. Hogg said he was unimpressed by the apology.

“She only apologized after we went after her advertisers,” he said. “It kind of speaks for itself.”

Her apology included taking credit for being the first person to like recognize him for his bravery immediately after the shooting.

Gotta keep the Trump shit rollin' and trollin' if you are going to get to the WH. I sort of cherish the idea of her running against Tim Kane with all the material available.

Is it really a credible line that evidence of wrong doing, because it "comes from" an opponent, is poison? If it is not credible, and meant as an attack/disruption, then yes, but that would also carry its own penalty for the purveyor of fraudulently information. that the "Steele" document was funded by someone, but was independently supplied to the US as a concern seems completely different.

I have heard this line repeated, like a chant, by Cor Lew, various House GOP members (part of the core of their messaging in the "results"), and paid commentators. Its disingenuous at best, especially with the head of the party demanding repeatedly, without any proof at all that Hillary and Obama need to answer for crimes. That is seriously a significantly worse abuse then an investigation that will need to be objective, and stand scrutiny.

Environmental Protection Agency administrator Scott Pruitt worked directly with a top energy lobbyist, and without a real estate broker, to set up a $50-a-night rental room in a prime Capitol Hill building co-owned by the lobbyist’s wife during his first six months in Washington, a source familiar with the arrangement told ABC News.

Pruitt was permitted to pay rent for just a single bedroom in the upstairs condo unit, even though the other bedrooms in the unit were unoccupied, the source told ABC News.


This guy. When does he go.

There is a part 2 to this story. Pruitt took a trip to Morocco last year, promoting the idea of importing liquified natural gas from the US. The only active Liquid Natural Gas export plant in the United States at the time is owned by Cheniere Energy, which is an employer for the condo owner.

I am not sure which is the right answer: Unethical, corrupt, or illegal (last one might be a stretch), but this is well past poor choice, and it is impossible to believe that he was just lucky getting such a deal.

Update: there is a lot more to the story

Seems his daughter liver there too. Who knows what her arrangement was, and the article is less then helpful in deciphering it. Maybe she was a freeloader squatting in an empty room, maybe she had a run of the place including the lobbyists living quarters, maybe the owners had no idea who this young lady in the kitchen was (but they seem to indicate that they had no agreement with her). Who knows. Nothing to see there, right?

Why would Pruitt go? Trump and Republicans hate the EPA.

We hate the EPA, but like don't be such an obviously flawed person in the midst of dismantling the regulatory state. Be boring and anonymous in doing so.

We’ve moved on to the reporting phase where there’s not much more to say. Although there’s always a Nugget or two. Today’s jem is that Pruitt took a nap and his security detail panicked, called 911 saying that he was unresponsive, and smashed down the door of the condo, which the EPA then had to pay for.

I’m actually surprised that there is not questioning about this security detail that he has. Currently it’s at least four people around the clock. That’s like 20 people for the week. In what world is the EPA administrator A top 10 enemy of the public requiring around the clock protection to such a degree.
