FOCUS: Matt Taibbi | It's Too Late to Worry About 'Normalizing' Trump. Decades of Policy Did That for Him 
The United States helped create the pre-condition for Trump by continually spreading the idea that it's OK to ally ourselves with leaders who abuse their subjects. (photo: Carolyn Kaster/AP/REX Shutterstock)
Matt Taibbi, Rolling Stone
Taibbi writes: "The idea that we don't legitimize human-rights abusers is a laugh-out-loud joke everywhere outside America. You could fill a book chapter with the history of the friendly relations between American presidents and just the foreign dictators who are credibly reported to have eaten other human beings."

Fact Checker: War is peace. Fence is wall

Image
Democracy Dies in Darkness The truth behind the rhetoric War is peace. Fence is wall. In George Orwell’s “1984,” the ruling party works to convince the masses that war is actually peace. For his part, President Trump claims that 100 miles of fencing for the U.S.-Mexico border is actually the first tract of his wall. But war is not peace, and  a fence is not a wall . Although the $1.3 trillion omnibus spending bill Trump signed in March includes $1.57 billion to fortify the border, that money comes with strings attached. It can be used only to build fences or replace existing fencing, primarily in the San Diego area and the Rio Grande Valley. Parts of this all-fence, no-wall project have been in the works since 2009, long before Trump took office. “Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them,” Orwell wrote. In this case, it earned the president Three Pinocchios. ‘Ca...

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...

POLITICO Massachusetts Playbook: HOUSE looks ahead – WYNN’s thin ice – JKIII’s rebuttal

02/01/2018 07:21 AM EDT By Lauren Dezenski  ( ldezenski@politico.com ; @LaurenDezenski) with Brent D. Griffiths ( bgriffiths@politico.com ; @BrentGriffiths) GOOD MORNING, MASSACHUSETTS. LOOKING AHEAD IN THE HOUSE -  As the state legislature gears up for an action-packed close of the legislative year, per tradition, look for the body to take up health care reform, financial support for the life sciences sector, and - in response to the current national political climate - a bill stressing the importance of civics education. House Speaker  Robert DeLeo  outlined these goals in his agenda-setting address to members yesterday, and highlighted his path forward in the House until the session wraps up at the end of July. The House's push to take up health care reform is an interesting contrast to Gov.  Charlie Baker , embroiled in issues over proposed changes to state employee health plans with the Group Insurance Commission, but otherwise stayed away from...
