Taxpayer-Funded Police Slush Fund Under Investigation.  Talk about a bare-bones story. Maybe it’s all that Randall Chase could glean from the cops.  Which would be par for the course.  Guess who they’ve got investigating it? A former state cop.  This entire story highlights the cozy relationship the police have with government. And your money.

Senate Votes To Remove Consumer Protections Via Class Action Lawsuits.  VP Pence casts the deciding vote. Biggest beneficiaries?: Equifax and Wells Fargo. McCain, Corker and Flake vote with the Rethugs.  Conscience can only take them so far. BTW, here’s why Elizabeth Warren should be President.

The Tiny Company Given The Yuge Contract To Repair Puerto Rico’s Power Grid.  Yes, of course it has ties to a major Trump contributor. Oh, and it’s located in the same tiny town that brought us Interior Secretary Zinke. Whitefish, Montana. Guess who gets the short end of this stick. Yep, the people of Puerto Rico. While Trump cronies get rich. A criminal enterprise.

Why This Whole ‘Trump’s Generals’ Thingy Might Not Be A Good Idea. Their skill set may be ill-suited to the political game and the PR game.

What do you want to talk about?
