The president went off on the fbi for yet another leak, tweeting, the fbi is totally unable to stop the National Security leakers that have permeated our government for a long time. They cant even find the leakers within the fbi itself. Classified information is being given to media that could have a devastating effect on u. S. Find now.

With seven candidates buying two replaced donna brazile, the leading contenders include tom perez, who enjoys strong support from the Democratic Party establishment. Says he plans to support perez. This is a generally centrist country. Mainly in the center, got to have a message that resonates across the board. The other front runner, minnesota congressman Keith Ellison, an early supporter of bernie sanders. But ellison has had to defend himself against accusations of antisemitism because of his now severed ties with Nation Of Islam leader and comments he allegedly made in graduate
school. These are false allegations, and that is why i have 300 rabbis and jewish communities supporting me. With many dnc voters still uncommitted, the other candidates have a fighting chance. I like all of them. I have really narrowed it down to four, and i am intending to remain open to persuasion right up until the vote. Political scientist saying that the young mayor there is a mother another candidate to watch. He points to successes in his party and state legislative races. He wants to not be totally progressive or totally establishment but try to figure out a way to bring all types of people together. And that is really the delicate Balancing Act democrats hope to achieve. On one hand, they want to capitalize on strong antitrump sentiment among the parties younger, more liberal base. At the same time, they hope to win back their reputation as being the party of working americans, a group that, in the last election, came out and large support for President Trump.

When President Trumps Executive Order went into effect temporarily banning travelers from seven predominantly muslim nations from entering the u. S. It sparked protests and lawsuits. It also affected far more people than originally claimed by the administration. Speak with the white house, the president said that there are only 109 people who were minimally inconvenienced by the Executive Order, and for the first time, the government has revealed that there are over 700 people who had some contact with customs and Border Protection under the Executive Order. And we dont even think that that number is complete. In a hearing friday morning, attorneys said they were simply handed a list of names but no other information to help track down the 746 people who may have been wrongly barred from entering the country in the first 26 hours after the ban took effect. We are trying to assemble a jigsaw puzzle. The government already has that puzzle together, and they could disclose that tomorrow if they wanted to. In court, the judge ordered the two sides to Work Together in sharing information. But there are still questions about how a new Executive Order, expected next week, might impact this and other cases. What we are working with is
like a 26 hour slice of a much larger problem which begs the question of what the government is hiding and why theyre hiding it. At the Justice Department declined to comment on the specifics of this case, but in court, a u. S. Attorney told the judges they cooperate by giving giveaways Additional Information on all of people who were turned away. This issue is not raised during todays offcamera White House Press briefing, but it is expected that next week when the new Executive Order is issued that will allow anyone holding a legal visa to enter this country, no matter where they are coming from.

But the g. O. P. Should be aware, because 84 of those surveyed by the Kaiser FamilyFoundation Want congress to keep the expanded funding in place. And g. O. P. Leadership isnt just under pressure from the public. They are hearing it from House Speaker paul ryans predecessor. Fix obamacare. I shouldnt call it appeal and
replace. Thats not what is going to happen. He was during dozens of successful votes is offbase. I sure hope he is wrong. We need to do that, it is a commitment be made. A 106 page documented published today by political reportedly contains the gops longawaited replacement in terms of plans to talk cut oute individual mandate. Dr. Sica manual has been warning against this. It would be a disaster. The first thing is, and the first year, 18 million americans will lose their Health Insurance paid democratic governors now probably make protesting. I think what congress would love to do is push all those costs on to the states. Republicans lawmakers hope that even there if there is les funding they will have more flexibility. The federal government wants to be involved in who gets
covered, get the money to me and let me figure out if i can do it better.
