During the George W. Bush administration, for instance, environmentalists looked to state and local governments for action on climate change, and the result was a slew of commitments that helped build the renewable-energy industry."   READ MORE The Federal Government Just Shut Down.

DEVAL'S ALABAMA WEEKEND  -   Former Gov.  Deval Patrick  is making a rare return to the campaign trail this weekend with a swing through Alabama to campaign for Democrat  Doug Jones  in the high-stakes special election to fill the US Senate seat vacated by now-US Attorney General  Jeff Sessions .

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...

Fact Checker: The NRA’s love-hate relationship with a database for background checks

Image
Democracy Dies in Darkness     The truth behind the rhetoric     The NRA’s love-hate relationship with a database for background checks After the high school shooting in Parkland, Fla.,  NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch was on TV  lamenting that states don’t send all the required criminal and mental health records to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). Because of these gaps, she said, many people legally barred from buying guns can get them anyway. “It’s not federally mandated,” she said on CNN. “Politicians could change this today; they could change it tomorrow,” she said on ABC News. We did some digging and found that politicians did try to change this, 25 years ago, with a federal mandate. And they were blocked — largely by the NRA. The group funded several lawsuits challenging the Brady gun law, which created the NICS, and filed an amicus brief in the Supreme Court arguing that the entire law...
