This & that....




I believe that every little bit of resistance to Donald Trump adds up. Think of it as one tiny drop of rain falling into a reservoir. Once enough drops fall, the dam will begin crack from the pressure.
Keep the pressure on. We're going to break this mofo down. And we're going to take back our country.

‘Vote her in next, Massachusetts’ — $15 minimum wage, paid family leave ballot questions to be dropped — KENNEDY joins hunger strike 06/27/2018 07:17 AM EDT By Lauren Dezenski  (ldezenski@politico.com; @LaurenDezenski) with Brent D. Griffiths (bgriffiths@politico.com; @BrentGriffiths) GOOD MORNING, MASSACHUSETTS. NY-14'S MASSACHUSETTS CONNECTION —  A progressive woman of color, facing institutional opposition and a significant fundraising gap, wages a long-shot bid against a 10-term, scandal-free white male incumbent. Sounds a lot like Boston City Councilor  Ayanna Pressley 's campaign to unseat Rep.  Michael Capuano  in Massachusetts' 7th District, right? But those were the contours in New York's 14th District, where 28-year-old  Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez  decisively defeated Rep.  Joe Crowley  in the Democratic primary last night. There's even a Massachusetts connection to the winning campaign — Pressley sent her field dire...

Progressive Breakfast: Betsy DeVos Harms Higher Ed More Than K-12 in 2017

Image
MORNING MESSAGE Jeff Bryant Betsy DeVos Harms Higher Ed More Than K-12 in 2017 DeVos calls loudly for K-12 "school choice" and neglects younger students' civil rights, but she has proven far more effective at gutting regulations that protect the rights of college students and college student loan borrowers. Negotiations On DACA Fix Turn Into Standoff Political agenda keeps Trump and Congress apart on a fix for immigrant ‘Dreamers’ “President Trump will convene a bipartisan group of lawmakers Tuesday to discuss immigration at the White House, but leaders remain far apart on a resolution to protect nearly 800,000 young people from deportation. A compromise deal that once appeared within reach — passage of the Dream Act coupled with some enhanced border security measures — now appears to have slipped as the administration backtracks on Trump’s earlier agreement with Democratic leaders and piles on fresh demands. In the balance are young immigrants brought to ...

The Daily 202: Trump fills the job of White House communications director – with himself

Trump fills the job of White House communications director – with himself Donald Trump steps off Air Force One yesterday at in West Palm Beach, Fla. The president is at Mar-a-Lago for a summit with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. (Mandel Ngan/AFP/Getty Images)   BY JAMES HOHMANN with Breanne Deppisch and Joanie Greve THE BIG IDEA: Hope Hicks announced her departure as White House communications director in February, but President Trump has yet to name a replacement. Instead, he continues to do the job himself. He drafts talking points. He organizes surrogates. He oversees rapid response. He maintains relationships with key media figures over dinners, rounds of golf and long phone calls. And, of course, he manages his own social media presence. Since the 2016 election, five people have now done six stints as Trump’s communications director. One reason it’s an impossible job is that the former reality television star who occup...

Progressive Breakfast: Mitch, Chuck and the Big “What If” for DREAMers

Image
MORNING MESSAGE America Reyes Mitch, Chuck and the Big “What If” for DREAMers My name is America, and I am a DREAMer. Mitch McConnell, Chuck Schumer, and their colleagues need to step up and show me, my sisters and everyone who votes that they can lead, or if their promises are just another big, empty "What If" to everyone who believes in the American Dream. Government Reopens, For Now Congress has voted to end the government shutdown. Vox: “After a three-day standoff, Congress has voted to reopen the government — but only for three weeks. In a last-minute decision, Senate Democrats agreed to pass a spending bill that would fund the federal government through February 8, and fund the Children’s Health Insurance Program for six years, with an assurance from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to negotiate some kind of immigration deal within that time period and put a bill on the floor for a vote. The House passed the same spending bill a few hours later. Law...
