Lightweight Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a total flunky for Chuck Schumer and someone who would come to my office "begging" for campaign contributions not so long ago , is now in the ring fighting against Trump. Very disloyal to Bill & Crooked-USED!

A U.S. judge questioned on Tuesday whether the federal government properly formulated new rules that undermine an Obamacare requirement for employers to provide insurance that covers women's birth control.

As Alabama votes to fill the seat vacated by Attorney General Jeff Sessions, the choice between Republican Roy Moore and Democrat Doug Jones has taken on outsized significance.

Alabama voters headed to the polls Tuesday for a pivotal special election in which allegations of inappropriate behavior against Republican candidate Roy Moore have created a unique opportunity for Democrats in the typically ruby-red Deep South. The closely watched race between Moore and Democrat Doug Jones is expected to set the stage for the 2018 midterm elections by testing the influence of President Donald Trump and his allies, such as former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon, in a tight election.
To understand the discouraging plight for Republicans heading into the 2018 midterm elections, it might help to recall a joke popular in Spain in 1975, when Generalissimo Francisco Franco, that nation's long-ruling and ruthless dictator, lingered for endless weeks on his deathbed. As of today, there are no brave souls in President Donald Trump's inner, or even outer, circle volunteering to mention to him that the most recent four times that majority control of the House of Representatives switched from one party to the other - 1954, 1994, 2006 and 2010 - were after midterm elections.
Are the current Republican tax bills, passed by the House and Senate and being reconciled in conference committee, an attack on ? That's a reference to the government, health care and education jobs that local Democrats in Dayton, Ohio, told Sen. Sherrod Brown have been fueling the area's comeback. The Dayton area's reliance on government is in tension with its history as an incubator of private-sector inventiveness, which more than a century ago produced the first cash register, the first airplane and the first automotive electronic ignition.

Former president Barack Obama recorded a robo-call for Alabama Democratic Senate candidate Doug Jones who is facing Republican Roy Moore in a special election on Tuesday. Democratic officials said that Obama had recorded the message the same time President Donald Trump recorded a message supporting Moore.
Alabama's U.S. Senate campaign entered its last day Monday with the candidates making final appeals for votes and a war of robocalls between President Donald Trump and former President Barack Obama. There was a flurry of bogus news as well.
Former President Barack Obama is adding his voice to the Alabama Senate race, imploring voters to go to the polls Tuesday to reject the candidacy of Roy Moore as part of an aggressive effort by Democrats to try and counter President Donald Trump's full-throated endorsement of the controversial Republican candidate. Two Democratic officials familiar with the Alabama race tell CNN that Obama recorded the phone message in recent days, at the very time Trump stepped up his own involvement in the campaign with a recorded message.
Republicans are determined to deliver the first revamp of the nation's tax code in three decades and prove they can govern after their failure to dismantle Barack Obama's health care law this past summer. Voters who will decide which party holds the majority in next year's midterms elections are watching.
Donald Trump, Roy Moore, and the Degradation of the G.O.P. - In less than a year, the President, with help from the Alabama Senate candidate, has so damaged the Party that it may never recover. - When Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the White House spokeswoman, was explaining last week Alabama Sen. Shelby: 'I couldn't vote for Roy Moore' - STORY HIGHLIGHTS - Washington Sen. Richard Shelby says he wants a Republican elected to the Senate on Tuesday to represent Alabama, but that he didn't vote for GOP candidate Roy Moore in the special election.
Toward the final months of his presidency Barack Obama infamously said the following regarding jobs that had left America - including millions during his eights years as President: "a some of those jobs of the past are just not going to come back." And when commenting on then-candidate Donald Trump's promise to bring jobs back, Mr. Obama said this: "a Well, how exactly are you going to negotiate that? What magic wand do you have?" No magic want was needed by POTUS Trump.
