Rosen did very good tonight in her debate with Heller.

Hope most Nevadans saw it the same way. Go Jackie.


Slate - To talk about what’s happening in the Nevada race, I spoke by phone with Jon Ralston, the editor of the Nevada Independent and an expert on the state’s politics. Our conversation, which has been edited and condensed for clarity, is below.

US doesn't call China 'currency manipulator' but puts it on a watch list with Germany, Japan, others

Source: CNBC

The Treasury Department refrained from calling China a 'currency manipulator,' a title that's been threatened by multiple U.S. administrations but not used since 1994.

In a report released Wednesday, Treasury said it has found no major trading partner met the criteria to be designated as intentionally manipulating its currency. But China was put on a watch list along with Germany, Japan, Switzerland, Korea and India.

Rogue. CNN analyst: Dump shows his ignorance.

Those planes wouldn't have flown out of and in to the country if Salman didn't know about it.

The brain of our president folks.

Alisyn Camerota did another follow-up interview with 6 independents.

5 voted for dump. All 5 expressed strong regret for their vote. One lady said she is changing her affiliation to Democrat. This is anecdotal but could be a strong indication of a huge blue wave.

Warren releases results of DNA test

Source: The Boston Globe

WASHINGTON — Senator Elizabeth Warren has released a DNA test that provides “strong evidence’’ she had a Native American in her family tree dating back 6 to 10 generations, an unprecedented move by one of the top possible contenders for the 2020 Democratic nomination for president.

Warren, whose claims to Native American blood have been mocked by President Trump and other Republicans, provided the test results to the Globe on Sunday in an effort to defuse questions about her ancestry that have persisted for years. She planned an elaborate rollout Monday of the results as she aimed for widespread attention.

The analysis of Warren’s DNA was done by Carlos D. Bustamante, a Stanford University professor and expert in the field who won a 2010 MacArthur fellowship, also known as a genius grant, for his work on tracking population migration via DNA analysis.

He concluded that “the vast majority” of Warren’s ancestry is European, but he added that “the results strongly support the existence of an unadmixed Native American ancestor.”
