Consoler-In-Chief. These deeply-moving words from the President before he heads to El Paso to ‘console’:
“Beto (phony name to indicate Hispanic heritage) O’Rourke, who is embarrassed by my last visit to the Great State of Texas, where I trounced him, and is now even more embarrassed by polling at 1% in the Democrat Primary, should respect the victims & law enforcement – & be quiet!”
Move Of USDA Operations To KC Was Deliberate Attempt To Fire Agency Employees. My source?: Mick Mulvaney, Trump’s Chief Of Staff. Where did he say it? At a Rethug fundraiser in South Carolina.
Business Lobbying In DC Spends At Least Twice What Was Previously Reported. Some excellent reporting here. Is it any wonder that the American Chemistry Council is lavishing praise on Chris Coons in the form of ‘non-advocacy’ ads? What a shock–these ‘advocacy’ groups are passing funds around among each other.
Medicaid Contractors Ripping Off Government, Refusing To Provide Care To Medicaid Recipients. Take, for example, Centene, ‘the nation’s largest Medicaid managed care company’. As long as these companies have a profit motive, they will do everything they can to provide as little care as possible. Sen. Bob Casey is on their trail.
Wilmington City Council Hires Former Mayor James Baker. This is…interesting. He’s not being paid much, $12K for a one-year contract. He is supposed to ‘provide historical context and advice on legislative issues’. Well, Baker is a historian and, when it comes to jazz, a good one. But, as Mayor, he suffered fools poorly. And if there is one thing that City Council has, it’s a surfeit of fools. I’ll be keeping an eye on this one. Could be fun.
