Pierce writes: "Any morning when you wake up and discover that the sitting Attorney General of the United States has been questioned by a special prosecutor on the subject of the president*'s complicity with thugs, hoodlums, international brigands, and Russian ratfckers is a day begun well, at least for scurvy political blogging types."

Government Shutdown

Image
     Regrettably, the federal government is closed. Like you, I am frustrated by this turn of events, and I am working hard to reach a principled solution to reopen the government. For months, President Trump and Congressional Republicans have prioritized corporate tax cuts over passing a budget that helps working families. Congress repeatedly passed short-term spending bills over the last several months in order to provide additional time to negotiate a long-term, bipartisan budget agreement. However, no real talks ever occurred and the President has provided contradictory and changing objectives. I am focused on passing a robust budget for our national security and our economic security, improving health care, helping families and businesses recover from last fall's devastating hurricanes, and putting real resources into the opioid crisis. Congress must also boost border security and find a way to protect the young people who were brought to this country...

Pilgrim workers violate federal regulations By  Christine Legere   Posted Feb 27, 2018 NRC: Two technicians took shortcut that caused safety system to shut down PLYMOUTH — When federal regulators come to town for the plant’s annual assessment meeting later this month, operators at Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station will have one more violation related to poor staff performance to explain. The incident involved two technicians who threw a safety system offline by taking a shortcut in procedure last March. The NRC’s Office of Investigations conducted a review and found the behavior of the workers represented a violation of federal regulations. According to the letter issued Tuesday by the NRC to plant officials, the technicians were heat testing switches on the reactor core isolation cooling system, which required them to dress in protective clothing so they could work inside a radiologically controlled area. The two technicians “deliberately decided” t...

Though Kansas Sen. Pat Roberts’ proposal did not make it into the Senate-passed version of the tax bill, it could still be added by the conference committee that will write the final  $1.4 trillion tax cut  legislation. Although dark money groups are entitled to conceal the identities of their donors,  reporting has shown  the Koch brothe...

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...
