One of her counterparts in California dismisses estimates of tax savings for most U.S. households and says the legislation is "just putting money in the pocket of the wealthy." And in Kansas, a Democratic candidate for governor says it's "a recipe for disaster" that signals inevitable cuts to popular programs like Social Security and Medicare.
There should be a "purge" of the FBI to get rid of "deep state" officials working at the agency, Rep. Francis Rooney told MSNBC on Tuesday.

Mayor de Blasio compares himself to Mahatma Gandhi and Thomas Edison - and says Hillary Clinton would have won if her campaign had taken his advice.

Over the past several years there have been a number of reports, many of them chronicled here at Outside The Beltway in one form or another, about the manner in which technology and habits are changing the way that we interact with businesses, and even how we pay for the things we want to pay. The latest example of that to jump out at me came early this morning when I was perusing headlines at The New York Times regarding a number of new restaurants or eateries that were refusing to accept cash as a form of payment and instead mandating that customers can only pay via either credit card or a mobile app, be it one tied to the restaurant itself or something such as Apple Pay or Android Pay.

It all started when Trump picked Jeff Sessions as his attorney general and injected Alabama politics - the Luv Guv, Luther Strange and the Roy Moore carnival of crazy - into the national spotlight. Alabama's weird special election collided with the #MeToo movement and spun into America's biggest political soap opera in November/December.
Considering what is happening at the national level, this would be a good time not to question the reasons why a New Jersey Republican elected official would switch to the Democrat Party. But, as the case of Salem County Freeholder Melissa DeCastro demonstrates, broad policy differences between the parties don't carry as much weight in motivating those who prompt an officeholder to do the switching.
