TV, do these relationships extend to the hiring and firing in your experience? That is a line that I object to.

The difference here I think is the hard evidence. Normally, this stuff would be off the record.

Its not nearly the same level, but we have a speaker series and when the main donor was alive, we would inform him abkut our selection as a "courtesy" before we went public.

Big day at the EPA. Pruitt affiliates hitting the door. One before (Kel Kelly from the 'I need a real nickname' file), and one after lunch (security head Pasquale “Nino” Perrotta). Now if we can just get Scott to go quietly.

Also, that Has VS Had controversy is a big nothing because Obama, I shit you not, put the country's nuts in a vice by signing a very bad deal, worst ever. Its only the difference between 'we are going to war' VS 'I can't fucking read the history file'.

It wasn't even an accident. The majority of people only heard the 'has" part and know nothing of the correction.

Rose stein balls out

Also in the rotator is the suggestion that Trump is the leaker of the questions that so offend him.

What a day, again.

lol trump leaked questions as a means to get legal advice from cnn and Fox News

Texas, Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Nebraska, South Carolina and West Virginia have dropped lawsuits to end DACA. Aside from Texas being a red State, I would think that might be an unpopular thing with their large Mexican population.

Burying (intentional reference) the lede, he won the GOP primary so it's not far fetched.

Wish I could vote against the R primarying in PA-1 using "America First" and "Make America Great Again" as his campaign slogans.

by vote against I mean stone. In the biblical sense.

He ran and lost in 2016 to Fitzpatrick, so I guess he's going more far right to try and beat him (I don't really recall his viewpoints). Fitzpatrick has been quiet on the Trump front, and I don't think he wanted to invoke the President too much in the primary (so he can run lukewarm on him in November). But yea, I agree, the signs are gross.

Are there any good primary...........primers out there? My district (PA-5) has a million democratic primary candidates and they're basically guaranteed a house seat.

Trump dictated his own letter from his (crazy) physician? No waze.

I guess you can roll it all up into the everything else you about Donald and his antics. But then again, this is a hiding in plain sight item.

Will people care? No. Apparently it is expected. Let that sink in. It is expected that the president will lie about any-, and every-, thing. His health, not that the letter clarified anything at all, while spreading Enquirer alternate health facts about his opponent.

I like Sheehan! she's basically the pro-science, progressive candidate

Lazer is cringeworthy because he's backed by Dougherty, but he's also backed by actual progressive labor and by Kenney.

I can try to find something if you want

my basic candidate website research showed the same thing basically. Given how safe the district is I'm voting as left as possible.

there really aren't any other options other than those two if you want to make an impact with your vote

the rest are DCCC (Lunkenheimer) or Rendell (Scanlon) or also rans

As we careen into a constitutional crisis will the public learn about the actual constitution and what the words mean?
