Keillor writes: "Now we have a totally Christian president, an awesome and amazing man, a very good man, who has done more for the faith in the past fourteen months than all of the other forty-four presidents combined, and who, as a result, has suffered more attacks from slimeballs than anybody but has stayed the course and done the right thing, no collusion with the devil at all, no collusion, none, it's a witch hunt and which hunters those are I think you know - crooked Democrats."

We often say that we do not, or will not take corporate/commercial financing. Quite true, but more importantly they wouldn't be likely to give it to us anyway. So let's raise funds the old fashioned way: One Reader, one donation at a time. Thank you sincerely in advance. / Marc Ash - Founder, Reader Supported News Sure, I'll make a donation!

(photo: Bryan Cox/Getty Images) ICE to Deport Sole Provider of a Paraplegic 6-Year-Old, Report Says By David Boddiger, Splinter 06 January 18 ollowing  the publication of a profile  of 6–year–old Ricky Solis, who will require around–the–clock medical care for the rest of his life after a car crash left him paraplegic, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials announced they will deport the boy’s sole financial provider and one of only two trained caregivers at home. Earlier this week,  The Cincinnati Enquirer  profiled Solis, along with his mother, Sandra Mendoza, 24, and Yancarlos Mendez, 27, an undocumented mechanic who for years has been involved in Solis’ life in Ohio after the boy’s biological father left following domestic abuse allegations.

‘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...

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...

The 5-Minute Fix: What Trump’s legal team really means when they say ‘perjury trap’

Image
Democracy Dies in Darkness Keeping up with politics is easy now By Amber Phillips It's a perjury trap. If  he can be fair. There's nothing I want to do more. These are the catchy phrases and statements that President Trump and his legal team repeatedly use to explain why they probably aren't going to sit down voluntarily with special counsel Robert S. Mueller III to talk about Russian interference in the 2016 election. And as usual with politicians, there's what they  say  and what they  mean  by what they say. Let's translate some of the most-used lines the best we can: 1. "Perjury trap" (AFP PHOTO / SAUL LOEB and Brendan Smialowski/Getty Images) How Team Trump uses this:  As a way to discredit Mueller's investigation by suggesting he's only trying to talk to the president to catch the president in a lie. Used in a sentence:  "I’m going to walk him into a pro...

Lawmakers, advisory panel plot Pilgrim’s future

Lawmakers, advisory panel plot Pilgrim’s future By  Christine Legere   Posted Apr 11, 2018 WEST BARNSTABLE — While there have been different perspectives among the public on the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station over the last 45 years, priorities are now aligning as the beleaguered plant progresses toward its announced permanent closure on June 1, 2019. That was the message delivered by the region’s senators and representatives during a meeting of the Pilgrim Nuclear Decommissioning Advisory Panel at Cape Cod Community College on Wednesday night. “We’re entering a really critical phase: the safe, swift decommissioning of Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station,” state Sen. Julian Cyr, D-Truro, said to the panel. Whether you are a plant opponent or plant employee, everyone sees safety as a top priority once the reactor shuts down, Cyr said. Wednesday was kind of a wrapup of the advisory panel’s first year of information gathering. Meeting time was dedicated to...
