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."

CC News Letter 14 March - Happy News From India!

Dear Friend, Here are two important news to report today. One is good and the other is bad.  First the good one.  In the all importan by-poll held in the states of Uttar Pradesh (UP) and Bihar of India, BJP lost all three seats. The oppositions took all three seats from BJP, including the all important seat of Gorakhpur, which was vacated by the UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanth. This seat is a citadel of BJP which held on to it over three decades. The voter turn out was less than 40 %. The results and the voting percentage shows that the Indian public in UP and Bihar have given up on BJP. It must be the beginning of the end of the right wing BJP's fascist rule in India.  One of the greatest scientists of the world , Stephen Hawking passed away today. During his last days, he was more worried about the health of the planet than his own health. It falls upon us to carry on the fight against climate change.  Andre Vltchek reports that NATO is shifting ...

‘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...

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...

Tools for Understanding State Budget Proposals

MassBudget    Information.    Participation.  Massachusetts Budget and Policy Center    Democracy. Tools for Understanding State Budget Proposals     Tomorrow the Governor will kick off the state budget season by releasing a detailed Fiscal Year (FY) 2019 budget proposal. The Governor's proposal begins an important process of determining what we as a Commonwealth hope to do together through our government next year, and detailing how we will pay for those things. The likely schedule for subsequent steps in the budget process is: In April, the House will debate and approve its FY 2019 budget proposal. In May, the Senate does the same. In June, a joint House/Senate conference committee reconciles differences between these two budgets which the Legislature approves. The final budget plan, which requires the Governor's signature, will ideally be completed by July 1st, the beginning of FY 2019. MassBudget works ...
