A little-known federal budget amendment that protects growers, processors, sellers and the professionals who work with them might expire this year at the behest of the Trump administration.

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?"

The Latest on President Donald Trump's visit to Mississippi for the opening of museums dedicated to the state's history and its role in the civil rights movement : And on Saturday, about 25 people, black and white, stood silently during the opening ceremony for two museums in Mississippi with Confederate battle flag stickers covering their mouths.

The expanding federal investigation into Russian interference in last year's US presidential election is shining new light on the central role played by one member of US President Donald Trump's inner circle - his son-in-law and top adviser Jared Kushner - in reaching out to Moscow. The latest disclosure - that even before Trump took office, Kushner directed campaign foreign policy adviser Michael Flynn to try to persuade Russia to quash a United Nations resolution - is one example of numerous Kushner contacts with Moscow and meetings with Russian intermediaries now under scrutiny by investigators for special counsel Robert Mueller.
The first point political experts stress is that, nine-plus months out from a primary election, the race for the 3rd Congressional District is wide open. But despite the uncertainty hanging over a historic field of 12 Democrats, some candidates in the race do have distinct enough credentials to stand out with a higher likelihood of success, at least at this early point.

John Lewis , heard that President Donald Trump planned to attend the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum dedication ceremony, they both announced that they would forego the event. On December 7, White House spokesperson Sarah Huckabee Sanders said, "We think it's unfortunate that these members of Congress wouldn't join the president in honoring the incredible sacrifice civil rights leaders made to right the injustices in our history.
So, Al Franken is a lewd boor, an unfunny buffoon, an intellectual midget, and an adolescent crude serial invader of womens' space. The latter triggered his blindfolded walk-the-plank exit from the USS Senate.
In early December, the GOP-controlled Senate passed by a partisan vote of 51 to 49 its sweeping tax rewrite , sending the $1.4 trillion tax package, detailed in a 492 page bill, to the Conference Committee to iron out the differences between the Senate and House bill, Tax Cuts and Jobs Act , that was passed by a 227-to-205 vote on November 16, 2017. While Democrats are technically part of the conference committee, Republicans are yet again hashing out the details behind closed doors on a purely partisan basis.
Whether you're on the right, left, or squarely in the middle, we can all agree that veterans aren't treated nearly as well as they should be in this country. In fact, they're blatantly disrespected in many ways.

In its latest cold open, "Saturday Night Live" took on the recent string of high-profile sexual misconduct scandals, featuring a parade of children - each seemingly more precocious and world-weary than the last - visiting a mall Santa, played by Kenan Thompson.

Two looming questions threaten to snag the seemingly smooth trajectory of the Republicans' massive tax legislation now in its final leg in Congress. How to satisfy demands of the rebellious GOP lawmakers from high-tax states who demand concessions over a cherished deduction? And how to pay for those concessions? Even President Donald Trump has dropped his stubborn resistance to a smaller cut in the corporate tax rate as Republican leaders consider it as a way to pay for the House GOP rebels' demands.
