What an asshole.

the committee’s records show it is asking officials only to portray marijuana in a negative light, regardless of what the data show.

onald Trump reportedly complained that the coverage of Senator John McCain's death was "over-the-top" and that it distracted from his recent trade deal with Mexico.

I clear forgot, because I was focusing on other areas of rights law, how much the facebook (in particular) and general commerical attitude to user privacy in the US gets me completely riled. Doing the module on privacy and aspects of cyberlaw this year has been an eye opener on the differences between US and EU/ECHR law on matters of privacy. Fuckin' Zuck and Sandberg, never mind their chief security officer, handwaving Kogan's use of their login API to hoover data as not a breach has me seeing red all over again. The EU Data Protection Directive was trying to deal with this back in 98 (short answer, big massive fail by facebook under the DPD, even bigger fail under GDPR), but god forbid that anyone get in the way of monetising personal data and growing company value in the US.

The Trump administration is reportedly accusing hundreds of Hispanics living along the U.S.-Mexico border of having fraudulent birth certificates, stripping some of their passports and throwing their citizenship into question.

...

Some passport applicants with official U.S. birth certificates are being jailed in detention facilities as they await immigration proceedings, while others have had their passports revoked when they tried to reenter the U.S.

I don't know if it's because I'm drinking my first Pumpkin Spiced Latte of the season, but I'm starting to think we're fucked. The only way to survive Trump is through complete repudiation in 2018 and 2020. He continues to attack the press and media with no real push back from the "coequal" branch of Congress. Trump's administration is questioning the citizenship of Hispanics at the border with little push back, the death toll of Maria is magnitudes higher than reported with no Congressional investigation in the government's handling of it, and pieces of scum like Steve King are still welcomed with open arms.

I mean, for fuck's sake, the Republicans made a list of things that Democrats may investigate when they get the subpoena power in the majority. They have an actual list of their dereliction! This, the party that was salivating at putting Hillary Clinton through the ringer of another 4-8 years of Benghazi hearings (4 Americans killed) while she was President cannot muster a ceremonial hearing into Maria (nearly 3000 Americans killed).

at least there's some good news on the horizon locally, slugs:
Democratic incumbents Gov. Tom Wolf and U.S. Sen. Bob Casey Jr. hold comfortable leads in their bids for re-election right now over their Republican challengers. Each has a double-digit lead.

Wolf leads 51 percent to 32 percent over former state Sen. Scott Wagner, and Casey leads 48 percent to 29 percent over U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta, according to the survey of 511 registered voters.

Wagner and Barletta, who have embraced Trump, face uphill battles with less than three months to go before the November election, due in large part to considerably less name recognition and satisfactory job performance ratings for the incumbents.

“We have two incumbents that people may disagree with, but there's no single issue that voters can lock on to that are huge negatives for them,” Madonna said. “The key for Wagner and Barletta is to energize their base — they won't win over swing voters.”

KEEP WORKING

We need to flip the House and Senate on the state level to un-break Harrisburg. Get all your family and friends to vote in November. Make sure they are registered and know their polling place. We can prevent a lot of terrible crap and start on a positive path for our state if we re-elect Wolf and elect a competent General Assembly. Vote MOZ

•65 percent say they haven't seen an increase in their household income because of the passage of the Republican tax-cut plan late last year.
•67 percent say they think the Russian government interfered with the 2016 presidential election. And 72 percent of those people believe they were attempting to help Trump win the election.
•28 percent, the plurality, say cable television is their primary source for news. And 43 percent of those people say Fox News is the network they rely on the most.

I just got a mailer for Bernie O'Neill, thankfully he is actually off the ballot so it's irrelevant. I wonder how far in advance local campaigns put these fliers together since he dropped out in the race against our local boart member (didn't know Moz/Wolfgang was an adjunct professor).

i'm amazed; there's consistently a core that will simply believe the leader:
RUSSIA16. Do you think the Russian government interfered with the 2016 Presidential election, or
not?
67% Yes
22% No
11% Do not know
HELP_TRUMP. Do you think the Russian government was trying to help Donald Trump win by
interfering in the election, or not?
n=343
72% Yes
19% No
8% Do not know

people in PA pretty starkly want abortion to remain legal. they think trump is handling the environment poorly. they want better education/schools. they think politicians suck.

FBI arrested a California man who called the Boston Globe, threatening to shoot up the newspaper. Among the tidbits from the transcript is the man taunting the newspaper to call Mueller for help and that they were "the enemy of the people." Another longer quote just tweeted by Ryan Reilley of Huffington Post:

As long as you keep attacking the President, the duly elected President of the United States, in the continuation of your treasonous and seitious aciton, I will continue to threats, harass, and annoy the Boston Globe, owned by the New York Times, the other fake news.

interesting report on Trump voters


What really distinguishes a Trump-supporting white voter from one who doesn’t isn’t education or even gender, it's whether or not that voter is evangelical.
