DowDupont Pays Off Congress To Stop Ban Of Poisonous Chemical.  And, no, LBR is not a sponsor of the ban. And, yes, DowDupont was her second most generous campaign contributor. Oh, and she received more DowDupont $$’s than all but one opponent of the bill, behind only one Rep. John Moolenaar of Michigan. The only other D on the list is Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland. They own her, she doesn’t represent us. Or people who get poisoned. Any stated concern about environmental racism from LBR is bullshit as we now know that money talks when it comes to our first ‘congresswoman of color’. Her color is green. How about a call to her office? Does she represent her constituents or her contributors? Ask her. We already know the answer, but it’s good to let her know that we know.

Bannon: Trump ‘Just Another Scumbag’. According to a new book. Trump’s financials will reveal that he’s not, wait for it, nearly as wealthy as he claims.  Oh, and Bannon dubs the Trump Organization a ‘criminal enterprise’.

Projected Positive Impact Of GOP Tax Cut Was Bullshit.  For green eyeshade types only–the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service report in its entirety. Here’s an easily-disgestible alternative.

Congress Forces Defense Contractor To Reimburse Government.  This is what legitimate oversight can accomplish.

Powerful Tools That The House Can Use Against Trump. Not at all sure I’d want to go down this road…

‘Budget Smoothing’ Threatens Adult Caregivers.  BTW, this sentence could be used in virtually every article about Dover doings:

A spokesman for the governor declined to comment on the caregiver (fill in the blank) issue.

What do you want to talk about?
