GOP Sen: Stop Nominating People With 'Questionable Records On Race'
https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/scott-stop-noms-quesiton-record-raceScott agreed that while a nominees history should be seen through a wider lens, the solution isnt simply to decry racial attacks.'
Instead, we should stop bringing candidates with questionable track records on race before the full Senate for a vote, he wrote. What this means, regardless of the obvious issues the Democratic Party has on race, is that the Republican Party must strive to do better. We can build on the momentum of opportunity zones and criminal-justice reform to show we are serious about tackling real issues facing people of color. I know conservative solutions can transform lives, but if folks dont trust us, implementing those solutions becomes impossible.

https://talkingpointsmemo.com/muckraker/for-first-time-publicly-mueller-nods-to-cleric-flynn-allegedly-plotted-to-removeI've been waiting for this to come back into the news...
On a side note, guess who was also at that meeting? Everyone's favorite obstructionist Devin Nunes.
Also interesting to me is where Flynn chose to publish...The Hill, everyone's favorite right wing disinformation source.

My question to Michiganders is what are you going to do about it?
Public servants...what non-pols would you like to acknowledge for their contributions to our society
Not talking celebrities here, but people who have proven themselves to be outstanding public servants despite not holding office.
I would like to take a step forward and celebrate the long years of public service by Amy Goodman, author, journalist and host of "Democracy Now'. I listened to Pacifica Radio in Houston as a boy and through the decades as Ms. Goodman (and Bill Moyer) brought 'real news' to all who might listen....all the stories the main stream press refused to cover. The KKK bombed the local transmitter and offices multiple times over the years for their efforts, but for almost fifty years I have been able to find the truth there, without any corporate slant or agenda. Kudos to Ms. Goodman and all those that work with her.
Just my wasted post of the day...
Rohrabacher's climate denial helped swing conservative California district, survey shows
https://thinkprogress.org/rohrabachers-poor-record-on-climate-helped-swing-conservative-california-district-survey-finds-72ba723e43fd/While it gets hotter and fire and smoke choke our air, Dana Rohrabacher is radically opposed to efforts to fight climate change. He says that global warming is a fraud. Rohrabacher sided with fossil fuel companies and voted against a plan to reduce carbon dioxide pollution, saying they dont hurt peoples health.
More than two thirds of voters in the district including 71 percent of swing voters recall having seen the climate advertisement.
I hope this is a major part of the Dem platform for 2020...
