Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee released the  memo  Friday. The White House responded by saying the memo "raises serious concerns about the integrity of decisions made at the highest levels of the Department of Justice and the FBI to use the government's most intrusive surveillance

The Big Mac And The Crocodile

Dear Friend, 2017 will be remembered as the year that the so-called ‘peace process’, at least in its American formulation, has ended. And with its demise, a political framework that has served as the foundation for US foreign policy in the Middle East has also collapsed. The Palestinian leadership and its Arab and international allies will now embark on a new year with the difficult task of drumming up a whole new political formula that does not include the United States. Cyril Ramaphosa, the next President of South Africa, was the man behind the entry of international fast food behemoth McDonalds into the country, earning him the sobriquet “The Big Mac”. Zimbabwe’s new President Mnangagwa bears the nickname “The Crocodile” from his days as head of Robert Mugabe’s secret police for, like his namesake, coming out of nowhere to suddenly snatch his victims, never to be seen again Also more stories from around the world.  If you don't mind, and if you think the conten

POLITICO Massachusetts Playbook: KOH’S cash — TAX DAY — STATE RACES heat up

KOH’S cash — TAX DAY — STATE RACES heat up 04/17/2018 07:29 AM EDT By Stephanie Murray ; ( stephaniemurray.news@gmail.com ; @StephMurr_Jour) and Brent D. Griffiths ( bgriffiths@politico.com ; @BrentGriffiths) GOOD MORNING, MASSACHUSETTS.  And happy Tax Day. Did you file yet? Mostly cloudy today with a high of 51. KOH'S CASH  - In the race to replace retiring Rep. Niki Tsongas, MA-3 candidate Dan Koh's $2.5 million war chest is almost three times more than his top-raising competitors, Rufus Gifford and Lori Trahan. And, as  David Bernstein notes at WGBH , Koh widened that gap by raising more than $900,000 in the first quarter of 2018. Let's put that in perspective.  Koh's most recent fundraising numbers aren't just eye-opening in comparison to his competitors for the open 3rd Congressional District seat. He also out-raised the incumbents in the Massachusetts congressional delegation. In fact, his Q1 haul is so ridiculously high - by any standard - tha
