President Donald Trump has described himself as "a loyalty freak" and told interviewers that it is the trait he cares about most when hiring an employee. "We could use some more loyalty, I will tell you that," he said at the Boy Scout Jamboree last week.
The answer to the Daily News Freedom of Information request arrived Friday: a thick package, nearing some 900 pages, with email addresses displaying notable names. The names were about the only thing legible.
When the tweeter-in-chief castigated Senate Republicans as "total quitters" for failing to repeal the Affordable Care Act, he couldn't have been more wrong. In fact, they showed zombie-like relentlessness in their determination to take health care away from millions of Americans, shambling forward despite devastating analyses by the Congressional Budget Office, denunciations of their plans by every major medical group, and overwhelming public disapproval.
I've been an Anthony Scaramucci fan ever since he went down south to help his cousin Vinny beat that murder rap. "Two yutes," right? "I'm funny how, I mean funny like I'm a clown, I amuse you? I make you laugh, I'm here to amuse you? What do you mean funny, funny how? How am I funny?" Think I exaggerate? Here are a few highlights of the new White House communications director's on-the-record conversation last week with a reporter for The New Yorker: "O.K., the Mooch showed up a week ago.

Dan Sullivan speaks at a town hall meeting at Bartlett High School in Anchorage on Saturday, May 20. How dare you, Mr. President, from your Twittering perch in distant Washington, threaten a senator from Alaska - or any senator - with damage to her state's share of public interests because she voted not your views but her own carefully considered views on a matter of concern to Alaskans. Apparently you think that Alaskans are so attuned to top-down dictatorial styles of government that they will punish Sen. Lisa Murkowski at the polls at your direction.
After the Senate Thursday night narrowly rejected his ham-handed efforts to ram through an Obamacare repeal that the health care industry, the insurance industry, most governors and the American people did not want, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell finally got something right. "It's time to move on," he said.
Re: "What does the Democratic Party stand for?" [Opinion, July 25]: First a history lesson. Coming of political age in April, June and those hot August nights 1968, and again May 1970, I will tell you what Democrats stood against: The war, the draft, soldiers being denied voting rights because they were under 21, minorities being denied voting rights because they were not white, "All the Presidents Men," racial and socioeconomic oppression, voter suppression, violations of human rights anywhere and everywhere around the world.
A new day in health care is slowly on its way for Washington's K-12 school teachers, classroom aides, part-time bus drivers and even lunchroom workers. The new school insurance program, approved by the Legislature in June, is not going to be a quick fix.
Strong arguments can be made for removing Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis. After all, their leadership has sent the GOP into a death spiral - bad ideas and silly stunts chase out reasonable compromise and responsible action.
Donald Trump had his worst day since he was elected president - we'll just call it Friday - and his worst week since the last one. Things can only get worser and worser, as the Bard would permit me to say.

The value of our free press can be seen with the present crisis of the collusion of the President and the Russians. Our free press has exposed lie after lie, told not only by Donald Trump, his sons and pretty much anyone associated with the White House.
The column is about the reasoning behind the country's "roughly 1,500 Confederate-related sites" built "during the early 20th century." For the record, Amarillo has one a monument which fits these parameters at Ellwood Park .
