The administration is reviewing whether it can legally choose an acting [ODNI] director outside the line of succession


He wants his own guys in those roles, especially if they are not accountable to congress.

VA congressman Bobby Scott issued a statement after he sent a letter to Sonny Perdue stating that there is an unintended consequence to changing SNAP eligibility which is that student will loose access to free or reduced school lunches. I am sure it is reasonably understood that those breakfasts and lunches might be the only meals these kids get during the day, and there are plenty of outside organizations, primarily churches, that step into the void and send food home for the weekend and to supplement the lack of day time nutrition.

Its alright though because it seem like it will only effect ~500,000 kids.

I'm crossing off the list any Dems who didn't feel it important enough to show up to vote against Saudi arm sales.

you'd think Saudis committing 9/11 would leave some lasting impact on how we deal with SA, but if anything we've gotten even more in bed with them, particularly our commander and thief. If latest reports are right, UAE helped write Trump's america first speech, too. I mean, really. WTF

Yeah, apparently the murdering journalists thing had zero carryover with anyone either.

Gillibrand, Harris, Klobuchar ,Warren, Sanders.

I'm lying, of course, I'm not sure who that would leave. But I'm disappointed.

If trends continue, at some point in the next two months Trump will have a higher approval rating than Obama at the same point in their first term.

You can tell these women are liberals. Who else would say facts and the truth are a "ruse'?

China has said that it released the nearly 1M ethnic Muslims that they had in their reeducation camps. That is an interesting turn of events, and it might be more then a little hard to prove. I'll welcome any openness to "freedom" for these people, and I hope that this is a factual report.

Republican Sen. Rand Paul offered last week to buy Rep. Ilhan Omar a ticket to visit Somaliaso "she might come back and appreciate America more,"


Bold move from a guy who blocked funding for the 911 First Responders. He seems to have some hate for Americans in his blood.

Net approval is a different story however.

Rand is a flaming racist just like his daddy.

I'm thinking that there are 10 or 11 people on the debate stage that should be watching from home by now.
