				<p><img src="http://www.BradBlog.com/images/BradCast_Rubio_Trump_Mueller_021618.jpg" hspace="6" vspace="3" border="0" align="right">We begin today's <a href="http://BradBlog.com/BradCast"><i>BradCast</i></a> with a somewhat harrowing and breathtaking round-up of what has been an <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/16/politics/trump-terrible-week-analysis/index.html">exceptionally bad</a> news week, even for <i>this</i> particular White House. But all of that got considerably worse on Friday. [<i>Audio link to show is posted below.</i>]</p>
<p>New grand jury <a href="https://www.justice.gov/file/1035477/download">indictments [PDF]</a> were <a href="https://m.nytimes.com/2018/02/16/us/politics/russians-indicted-mueller-election-interference.html">filed against</a> 13 Russian nationals and three Russian entities, by Robert Mueller's Special Counsel probe, for alleged interference in the 2016 Presidential election. We detail what the indictment says and <i>doesn't</i> say, and how Donald Trump and his White House</a> are <a href="http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2018/02/trump-claim-mueller-found-no-collusion-is-literal-nonsense.html">lying about</a> both.</p>
<p>Then, before it disappears into the ether, more coverage of the shameful dodging, denial and misdirection from Senate Republicans --- of particularly shameful note were Senators Chuck Grassley (IA) and Marco Rubio (FL) on Thursday --- following Wednesday's horrific mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.</p>
<p>Despite some  <a href="https://twitter.com/maddow/status/964270202006405120?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet">twisted misdirection</a> from Grassley on "mental health" issues (he <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-signs-bill-revoking-obama-era-gun-checks-people-mental-n727221">sponsored the bill</a> passed last year to make it easier for the mentally ill to purchase weapons) and <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/15/politics/marco-rubio-senate-floor-florida-shooting/index.html">desperate remarks from Rubio</a> on the purported futility of any and all laws regarding guns (or anything else, apparently), we detail the reason why the U.S. has so many mass shootings, <a href="https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/11/07/world/americas/mass-shootings-us-international.html">according to</a> dozens of peer-reviewed studies from around the nation and the world: the obscene number and easy availability of guns in the U.S., which is unparalleled among developed nations. Period.</p>
<p>Next, Friday's grand jury indictments from Mueller detail a disturbing and well-organized Russian-based scheme to try and undermine the U.S. Presidential election by using social media to spread "derogatory information about Hillary Clinton, to denigrate other candidates such as Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, and to support Bernie Sanders and then-candidate Donald Trump." </p>
<p>But the methods and material they used for doing so came <a href="https://twitter.com/AriBerman/status/964582273495588864">directly out of</a> the well-worn GOP and rightwing media playbook.  Fake news said to have been spread by Russian social media accounts declaring, for example, "voter fraud" in Florida just days before the election, as cited in the Mueller indictments, was, quite literally, taken <a href="https://archive.org/details/FOXNEWSW_20161102_200000_Your_World_With_Neil_Cavuto/start/120/end/180">straight off of Fox "News"</a> and other rightwing media outlets, where fake news of the type said to have been spread by Russian agents has been used for <i>years</i> to manipulate the U.S. electorate.</p>
<p>Worse still, it appears that Republican officials and candidates for office are now creating <a href="https://www.politico.com/story/2018/02/14/arizona-senate-kelli-ward-fake-news-407281">their own fake news sites</a> with legitimate sounding names --- from the "Arizona Monitor" to the "Maine Examiner" to "The Free Telegraph" (that one is run by the Republican Governors Association!) --- in order to scam voters with wildly fake and/or slanted "news", meant to appear legitimate.</p>
<p>So, yes, foreign interference in our elections is of concern, but, as we explain today, the far greater threat to American democracy is still "coming from inside the house."</p>
<p>Finally today, Desi Doyen joins us for the latest <a href="http://GreenNews.BradBlog.com"><i>Green News Report</i></a>, as U.S. intelligence agencies contradict the Trump Administration on climate risks, ExxonMobil fights back against climate lawsuits, the corporate media continue to fail on climate change coverage, and a bit of good news, happily, from the Queen of England...</p>

				<p><img src="http://www.BradBlog.com/images/BradCast_FloridaShootingGuns_021518.jpg" hspace="6" vspace="3" border="0" align="right">On today's <a href="http://BradBlog.com/BradCast"><i>BradCast</i></a>: Our coverage continues of Wednesday's bloodbath at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, where 17 were killed and 13 remain hospitalized today, following the nation's most deadly school shooting since Newton, Connecticut's Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre in 2012. [<i>Audio link to full show is posted below.</i>]</p>
<p>We have many more <a href="https://apnews.com/a6fd450470d4464ab423b8b3a911b42d/Florida-gunman-had-extra-ammo-at-school,-fired-for-3-minutes">new details</a> today about the alleged shooter, a 19-year old former student who is said to have legally purchased the semi-automatic AR-15 military-style assault weapon and arsenal of ammo and magazines to go with it. (<i>A photo of his collection, <a href="http://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/nikolas-cruz-legally-purchased-ar-15-despite-long-history-of-mental-illness-warnings-10089980">reportedly</a> from one of his Instagram pages, is above.</i>) State law enforcement officials reportedly say, late today, that the previously expelled and recently orphaned student, Nikolas Cruz, has now <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/15/us/florida-shooting.html">confessed</a> to the mass shooting.</p>
<p>The predictable fight between gun safety proponents and those opposed to any such measures got underway in full today, as Republicans from <a href="https://apnews.com/875dcc51d79043ccb28fc1adc928aac5">President Donald Trump</a> to <a href="http://www.nola.com/crime/index.ssf/2018/02/rick_scott_florida_shooting_me.html">Florida Gov. Rick Scott</a> to <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/15/politics/marco-rubio-senate-floor-florida-shooting/index.html">U.S. Senator Marco Rubio</a> went out of their way to avoid discussion of guns and deflect from the need to take action on the nation's continuing gun violence epidemic. They chose instead to declare the need for mental health reform as the only way to prevent the "true evil" behind such massacres, while spreading some of the blame to victims who, they claim, failed to alert authorities to earlier concerns about the shooter.</p>
<p>That charge, as we discuss, appears disingenuous at best, even as <a href="https://www.adl.org/blog/florida-white-supremacist-group-admits-ties-to-alleged-parkland-school-shooter-nikolas-cruz">news breaks</a> today that Cruz appears to have been associated with and/or trained by a white supremacist organization in the Sunshine State. (Over the past year, Trump has both <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/trump-signs-bill-revoking-obama-era-gun-checks-people-mental-n727221">signed legislation</a> to make it easier for the mentally ill to purchase weapons like the one used in Parkland, Florida, and has <a href="http://thehill.com/policy/national-security/346552-trump-cut-funds-to-fight-anti-right-wing-violence">cut funding</a> to research and combat of domestic white supremacist violence.)</p>
<p>By way of contrast to the uniform GOP denial and misdirection, Broward County School District Superintendent Robert Runcie <a href="https://shareblue.com/school-official-pleads-to-fight-guns-right-in-front-of-nras-top-allies/#.WoXMEy2ruP0.twitter">offered a plea</a> on behalf of Stoneman Douglas High School students who are demanding real action in response to gun violence in the wake of their Valentine's Day nightmare. "I hope we can get it done in this generation," he said at a news conference today, flanked by two of the National Rifle Association's top benefactors in Florida, Gov. Scott and Attorney General Pam Bondi. "But if we don't, they will," he vowed.</p>
<p>We're joined to discuss all of the above, including the stranglehold that the <a href="http://www.bradblog.com/?p=9426">terror-enabling</a> NRA continues to have over Republicans from D.C. all the way to state and local governments, by <b>WENDY WHEATCROFT</b>, Group Leader of the San Diego Chapter of <a href="http://MomsDemandAction.org">Moms Demand Action on Gun Sense</a>. Wheatcroft, a former elementary school teacher, explains that she has lived through active shooter lockdowns herself, and charges that "the NRA has been infiltrating local government for years. Not just local government offices, but school boards, water boards, every lower level of government. They have been infiltrating and pushing out these talking points."</p>
<p>She details her own group's efforts to enact common sense gun reform, such as "red flag" laws that were <a href="http://lawcenter.giffords.org/californias-new-gun-violence-restraining-order-law-2/">adopted in California</a>, to enable "family members or police to remove weapons from someone they deem to be a threat to themselves or others."</p>
<p>"There is no such thing as 'too soon' to talk about gun violence," Wheatcroft argues. "These shootings are compounding, one upon the other upon the other, so when is the time? It's too late for those families  --- it's too late for those moms whose kids did not come home from school on <i>Valentine's Day</i>. Can you imagine?," she asks tearfully.</p>
<p>She also speaks to how gun safety proponents can take on the NRA (who "will say and do anything possible to sell their guns and make money"), and cites removing NRA-supported elected officials from office as the most effective weapon for doing that.  "It's just so important for us, in every city, to buckle down locally and to make sure that we are supporting candidates who do not share this narrative and this message."</p>
<p>"Right now, our House is dominated by legislators who have been bought by the NRA," Wheatcroft says. "Gun Sense candidates aren't just Dems. It's not enough to just be a Dem anymore. We need people who are champions for gun violence prevention, and who will outspoken and unafraid to speak out and stand up to the NRA."</p>
<p>"We are not trying to take anyone's guns away. We are not here to ban the 2nd Amendment. We are here to help put in place gun safety measures that enable gun owners to maintain their rights, and to keep their guns, while also keeping people safe from guns."</p>
<p>Finally, we close today with a look back at how U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell led the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/18/us/politics/senate-obama-gun-control.html?nytmobile=0">successful 2013 GOP effort</a> to block majority-supported passage of any and all bi-partisan gun safety legislation brought to the Senate floor for a vote, just months after the nation's deadliest school shooting in Newtown, CT...</p>

				<p><img src="http://www.BradBlog.com/images/BradCast_FloridaShootingParentChild_021418.jpg" hspace="6" vspace="3" border="0" align="right">Once again on today's <a href="http://BradBlog.com/BradCast"><i>BradCast</i></a>, we must lead with breaking details of yet another mass shooting. This time, at a high school in South Florida where, by the end of today's show, authorities report that <a href="https://apnews.com/49734418df1e477681cf36b29faca7da">17 had been killed</a>, with a 19-year old former student in custody. [<i>Audio link to show is posted below.</i>]</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/14/us/florida-high-school-shooting/index.html">horrific tragedy</a> at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, FL led Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) to take to the Senate floor <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/14/politics/chris-murphy-florida-school-shooting/index.html">to note</a>, yet again, that these this "epidemic of mass slaughter...happen nowhere else other than the United States of America", where Republican officials, controlled by the funding of the massacre-enabling National Rifle Association, refuse to take even the slightest action, year after year, massacre after massacre, to try and curb the nation's gun violence epidemic.</p>
<p>Murphy, who represented Newtown, Connecticut as a U.S. House member during the 2012 <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandy_Hook_Elementary_School_shooting">Sandy Hook Massacre</a>, where 20 elementary school children and 6 adults were killed by a 20-year old with an assault weapon, notes that the South Florida shooting was the 19th school shooting since the beginning of this year, which is not even two months old.</p>
<p>The Republican Party is, in fact, controlled from top to bottom by big money corporate donors. And, where many Democrats are similarly enthrall to corporate donations, at least a number of the leading Presidential hopefuls are finally beginning to <a href="http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2018/02/gillibrand-and-booker-swear-off-corporate-cash.html">swear off</a> of corporate "dark money" PAC donations. As we have argued for years --- and do so again today, in light of this latest tragedy, get money out of politics, particularly anonymous "dark money" from corporate PACs like the NRA, and most of our nation's problems, including the <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2018/01/18/year-later-trump-has-made-his-own-american-carnage-editorials-debates/1038286001/">'American Carnage'</a> from our worsening gun violence epidemic, can finally be dealt with.</p>
<p>We cover a number of stories today that underscore that necessity. In one, House of Delegates candidate <a href="https://lissalucas.com/donate/">Lissa Lucas</a> in West Virginia is <a href="https://www.commondreams.org/views/2018/02/11/woman-dragged-out-west-virginia-house-hearing-listing-oil-and-gas-contributions">physically dragged</a> off the floor during a Public Comment period on new fracking legislation, because she dared to list the donations from the fossil fuel industry received by the Delegates who were preparing to vote on the bill.</p>
<p>In another, Republicans in the Arizona statehouse are <a href="https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/tempe/2018/02/09/arizona-lawmakers-may-pre-empt-tempe-dark-money-measure/1082820001/">moving a bill forward</a> that would bar cities from requiring that "dark money" donations be disclosed. The state legislation comes after the City Council in Tempe <a href="http://azdailysun.com/news/local/arizona-house-votes-to-keep-nonprofits-from-disclosing-election-funding/article_3b41a0da-30e0-5a78-8397-3acb43f72217.html">voted unanimously</a> for a ballot initiative that, if approved by local voters, would require such disclosure. Voting on that local transparency measure began on Wednesday, even as the state government moved to nullify its effect.</p>
<p>And, speaking of money in GOP politics, new disclosures from Donald Trump's personal attorney Michael Cohen suggest he used his own personal money to buy the silence of porn star Stormy Daniels regarding an alleged affair she had with Donald Trump. A statement from Cohen, <a href="https://m.nytimes.com/2018/02/13/us/politics/stormy-daniels-michael-cohen-trump.html">first reported by the <i>New York Times</i></a>, seems to suggest the $130,000 paid to Daniels, just weeks before the 2016 Presidential election and days after the infamous "Access Hollywood" tape was released, came "out of his own pocket".</p>
<p>But a <a href="https://reason.com/volokh/2018/02/14/did-trumps-lawyer-pay-stormy-daniels-out">closer look</a> at his statement reveals he may not have admitted any such thing. In the meantime, attorney Paul S. Ryan of Common Cause, who filed complaints with both the <a href="http://www.commoncause.org/policy-and-litigation/litigation/fec-complaint-trump-january-22-2018-no-cover.pdf">Federal Election Commission</a> and the <a href="http://www.commoncause.org/policy-and-litigation/litigation/fec-complaint-trump-january-22-2018.pdf">Dept. of Justice</a> in January (he discussed the complaints <a href="http://bradblog.com/?p=12447">on <i>The BradCast</i></a> at the time), <a href="http://www.commoncause.org/press/press-releases/trump-attorney-appears-to-have-made-illegal-contributions-to-trump-camoaign-when-he-made-alleged-hush-money-payment-to-stormy-daniels.html">stands by</a> his belief that the payout was an unlawful, unreported, in-kind campaign donation.</p>
<p>Finally, Desi Doyen joins us for our latest <a href="http://GreenNews.BradBlog.com"><i>Green News Report</i></a>, with still more news on the dangerous and deadly effects of corporate money polluting our air, water and, yes, politics...</p>

				<p><img src="http://www.BradBlog.com/images/BradCast_GerrymanderedPennsylvania_021318.png" hspace="6" vspace="3" border="0" align="right">On today's <a href="http://BradBlog.com/BradCast"><i>BradCast</i></a>: Never mind Russia. Is it even possible for Democrats to overcome the systemic structural disadvantages Republicans have put in place in virtually every aspect of U.S. elections? We've got both encouraging and not-so-encouraging news in that regard on today's show. [<i>Audio link to show posted below.</i>]</p>
<p>Now that both the U.S. intelligence community and Democrats --- and even a few Republicans --- have finally begun to figure out that Election Integrity requires, at a bare minimum, a paper ballot for every vote cast, how long will it take them to figure out that those ballots need to be hand-marked (not computer-marked) and, preferably hand-counted, so that the American public can <i>truly</i> begin to restore confidence in election results and know that their votes actually matter? There is some --- precious little, but some --- encouraging news out of Pennsylvania today on that front, and even from the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee.</p>
<p>The Governor in PA, a state which still hates its voters so much that it forces the vast majority of them to vote on 100% unverifiable touch-screen voting systems, has <a href="https://apnews.com/b33d9d5fd72642058552662c9cfbf426">decreed</a> that any new voting systems purchased to replace the old ones, must have some form of "paper trail" or "paper record" or "paper backup". That's a <i>very</i> low bar, but better --- for the most part --- than the current 100% unverifiable touch-screen systems used across the state. Yet, the Democratic Governor, Tom Wolf, has yet to propose any new funding to purchase those new systems. So, like PA votes, they remain vapor ware for the moment.</p>
<p>At the same time, Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia, Ranking Democrat on the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee, seems to have <a href="https://twitter.com/emptywheel/status/963457749207175170">noticed</a> the cost of trying to secure elections (like <a href="https://www.c-span.org/video/?440888-1/fbi-director-rob-porter-background-check-completed-july&#038;start=8628">"the Dutch elections, where they hand-counted all the ballots"</a>) versus the price of one single F-35. Hand-counts, like those carried out by the Dutch, is, in truth, a pretty inexpensive deterrent against foreign manipulation of our computer tabulation systems, if our elected officials were truly concerned about it. (It would also help to deter the much greater threat of <i>domestic</i> manipulation, by the way!)</p>
<p>But, even if we had a hand-marked paper ballot for every vote cast and even if we counted them all by hand, publicly at the precincts, before ballots were moved anywhere (as per <a href="http://bradblog.com/?p=7417">Democracy's Gold Standard</a>), Democrats would <i>still</i> have a mountain to overcome this year in the shape of the GOP's systemic partisan gerrymandering of state legislative districts and U.S. House seats.</p>
<p>To that end, we've got some similarly-qualified <a href="https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/pennsylvania-governor-rejects-gop-proposed-congressional-map">encouraging news</a> out of Pennsylvania as well today, where the state Supreme Court recently <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2018/01/22/pennsylvanias-supreme-court-just-gave-democrats-a-big-win-on-redistricting/?utm_term=.03ebdcdf0c1f">ordered</a> new U.S. House maps to be drawn in time for the upcoming May primary elections in the commonwealth, after finding the ones drawn by Republicans following the 2010 census were in violation of the state constitution's right to a fair vote. The battle over those new maps --- which have given the GOP a 13 to 5 advantage in U.S. House seats in the largely 50/50 state over the last three elections, where Dems outnumber Republicans --- is now moving forward on a very tight court-ordered deadline.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, similarly partisan gerrymandering by the GOP in Wisconsin, North Carolina, and many other swing-states continues, thanks in no small part to the U.S. Supreme Court delaying lower federal rulings that determined Republicans had unconstitutionally given themselves a steep enough advantage on district maps that they were able to retain huge majorities in state legislatures and the U.S. House, despite being consistently out-voted by Democrats.</p>
<p>We're joined today by <a href="http://www.fairvote.org/david_daley">FairVote gerrymandering expert</a> <b>DAVID DALEY</b>, former Editor-in-Chief at Salon and author of <a href="http://amzn.to/2BWar3d"><i>RATF**KED: The True Story Behind the Secret Plan to Steal America's Democracy</i></a>. We discuss the gerrymandered state of play as the 2018 primaries are now just weeks away in many states, and as the dam seems to be bursting in both state and federal courts --- finally! --- against partisan gerrymandering. </p>
<p>"The courts have been consistently outraged by what the Republicans pulled off in 2010, 2011," Daley says. "The problem is, here we are in 2018, we've been using these unconstitutional maps now this entire decade. There is no sense we're going to have new maps in most of these states, with the possible exception of Pennsylvania, in time for the 2018 election. We may well have the fourth of five elections in all of these states held on unconstitutional maps."</p>
<p>By way of one example, Daley notes: "In 2012, 52% of Pennsylvanian voters vote for Barack Obama, 51% of them vote for Democratic members of the U.S House. Republicans however, take 13 of the18 seats that year --- 71% of them! Democrats get 28% of the seats, even with more votes."</p>
<p>We also discuss the new documents he recently uncovered, published in <a href="https://www.salon.com/2018/02/06/how-the-republicans-rigged-congress-and-poisoned-our-politics/">a new Salon exclusive</a>, detailing the fascinating story of how the Republicans' so-called REDMAP scheme to take over state legislatures and redistrict the nation with a wildly partisan advantage, first came about prior to the 2010 election and U.S. Census.</p>
<p>Among the questions we discuss: Is it even possible for Democrats to overcome that structural disadvantage in the 2018 mid-terms without the U.S. Supreme Court finding partisan gerrymandering to be unlawful? Are state court cases, like the one in PA, the answer instead? And can any of this be done in time for the 2020 elections, after which district maps will be redrawn once again by partisan majorities in state houses for another 10 years?</p>
<p>"There may be a blue wave [in 2018], but there is also a red firewall that stands ready to knock it down," Daley warns. "Democrats are probably going to need two seismic, historic waves in order to have a shot at fair maps in 2021. And it they can't pull that off, and if the courts don't come in and do something in the meantime, the maps that are drawn in 2021 are the ones we are going to live with until 2031."</p>
<p>Also today, in other related news: A second federal court, this time in New York, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/13/politics/federal-judge-daca/index.html">blocks</a> Trump's attempt to reverse DACA, and one Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate must be a very bad choice...at least <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/12/politics/kfile-kevin-nicholson-parents-donations/index.html">according to</a> his own parents!...</p>

				<p><img src="http://www.BradBlog.com/images/BradCast_TipMoney_DeptOfLabor_021218.jpg" hspace="6" vspace="3" border="0" align="right">On today's <a href="http://BradBlog.com/BradCast"><i>BradCast</i></a>: If there's anything the Trump Administration excels at, it's their reverse Robin Hood penchant of taking from the poor to give to the rich. But their new wage theft plan for workers in the restaurant industry may bring that penchant to new heights --- or depths, as the case may be. [<i>Audio link to show follows below.</i>]</p>
<p>But first up, and very much related, Trump's new <a href="https://apnews.com/e50aec4820da4e30aed4bea9ff440e86">$4.4 trillion budget proposal</a>, released on Monday, calls for moving still more money from the poor to the rich --- on the heels of last year's unpaid-for $1.5 trillion tax scam --- with cuts to domestic programs, more obscene increases to our national war budget, and trillion dollar deficit spending as far as the eye can see. And all of that is <i>separate</i> from his Department of Labor's <a href="http://www.newsweek.com/trump-department-labor-tipping-wage-theft-799683">plan to steal tips</a> off the tables of waiters and waitresses. Yes, literally!</p>
<p>We break down Trump's <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2018/02/trump-budget-congress/553085/">dead-on-arrival</a> proposal for his 2019 budget, which doubles the deficit spending called for by his dead-on-arrival 2018 budget. The scheme, <a href="http://thehill.com/blogs/floor-action/senate/373453-democrats-pan-trumps-budget-request">described</a> Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) as "morally bankrupt", also includes what he and corporate media (inaccurately) have been referring to as a $1.5 trillion Infrastructure Plan to rebuild the nation's roads, bridges, airports and much more. That scheme would actually invest just $200 billion in federal money, with the rest being paid for, in theory, by cash-strapped states and wealthy private corporations --- even as the $200 billion in proposed federal spending actually comes by way of <i>cuts</i> to the Dept. of Transportation and EPA. In other words, as we detail today, his $1.5 trillion infrastructure program, <a href="https://twitter.com/mattyglesias/status/962034803909443584">is really</a> a $0 infrastructure program, in which we sell off our national assets to private companies. Other than that, it sounds great!</p>
<p>Then, speaking of Trump scams, we're joined by President Obama's former chief economist at the Department of Labor, <b>HEIDI SHIERHOLZ</b>, now Senior Economist and Director of Policy <a href="http://www.epi.org/people/heidi-shierholz/">at the Economic Policy Institute</a>, to discuss the Trump Dept. of Labor's <a href="http://www.newsweek.com/trump-department-labor-tipping-wage-theft-799683">new plan to steal tips</a> earned by service professionals and give it to restaurant <i>owners</i> instead. No, really.</p>
<p>"There is long-standing practice by the DOL that interpreted tips as belonging to the workers who earned them. That was codified in a 2011 rule, that just said very clearly, 'Employers, <i>you can't take tips</i>, they belong to the workers who earned them." What this proposed rule does is it just <i>rescinds</i> those regulations --- it says employers can do <i>whatever they want</i> with worker's tips, as long as they pay workers minimum wage," Shierholz tells me. "This has been a dream of the National Restaurant Association, which is the big industry group for restaurants <i>forever</i>. [Trump's DoL]  cared so much about giving a big gift to the National Restaurant Association, that they were willing to propose a rule that would literally shift billions of dollars from workers to employers." </p>
<p>And, as if that's not outrageous enough, as <a href="https://bnanews.bna.com/daily-labor-report/labor-dept-ditches-data-on-worker-tips-retained-by-businesses">Bloomberg Law revealed earlier this month</a>, it turns out the DoL, when asking for Public Comment on this new rule, withheld their own agency's analysis, finding the new scheme would transfer billions of dollars from wait staff to the restaurant owners themselves, who'd get to keep anything earned above the federal hourly minimum wage of $7.35 hour! Shierholz details how the Department is hoping to scam the public by not including their own analysis of the cost of this new rule, even as her own organization's <a href="http://www.epi.org/publication/employers-would-pocket-workers-tips-under-trump-administrations-proposed-tip-stealing-rule/">analysis</a> estimates that the new regulation, allowing owners to keep tip money, could transfer nearly $6 billion annually await from wait staff, and potentially as much as $13 billion each year.</p>
<p>"But this is the key: there are rules that they have to follow as a part of the rule-making process, and it includes, very clearly, that they have to do a very comprehensive cost-benefit analysis. They have to estimate the impacts of the rule on workers. We now know that they <i>did</i> do that. But it looked really bad, and so they tried to bury it."</p>
<p>Yup. Prepare yourself to pay up once again to defend still <i>more</i> lawsuits filed against this lawless Administration.</p>
<p>We also discuss how this rule, if finalized, will <a href="http://www.epi.org/publication/women-would-lose-4-6-billion-in-earned-tips-if-the-administrations-tip-stealing-rule-is-finalized-overall-tipped-workers-would-lose-5-8-billion/">adversely affect women</a> in particular, who stand to lose $4.6 billion of the $5.8 taken from tipped workers each year. "The fact they are forging ahead with this, despite knowing how bad it is for workers, really is primarily about their far greater interest in supporting corporate interests over those of workers. The fact that it's massively, disproportionately going to affect women may be sort of a bonus," Shierholz quips.</p>
<p>Finally, with the unthinkable possibility of <i>peace</i> between North and South Korea <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2018/02/09/asia/korea-north-south-meeting-olympics-intl/index.html">breaking out</a> over the weekend during the Winter Olympics in PyeongChang --- despite the Trump Administration's determined hopes for a new, potentially nuclear war on the Korean Peninsula --- deadly <a href="https://nyti.ms/2BSrSBp">new military skirmishes</a> broke out between Israel, Iran and Syria over the weekend. So, just in case you're worried that all of Trump's new U.S. military spending would go for naught, don't worry! We'll always find new wars on which to spend it...while your kids can't pay for college, you can't afford medical care and the Trump Administration is stealing tips off the table.</p>

				<p><img src="http://www.BradBlog.com/Images/ChristopherSteele_posturized_full.jpg" hspace="6" vspace="3" border="0" align="right">The significance of the previously concealed transcripts of Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson's unclassified Congressional testimony far exceeds the narrow, albeit accurate, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2018/01/02/republicans-steele-dossier-conspiracy-theory-was-dealt-a-big-blow-this-weekend/?utm_term=.9f04f776156c">observation</a> that the transcripts blew a huge hole in one of numerous conspiracy theories about the so-called <a href="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3259984-Trump-Intelligence-Allegations.html">"Steele Dossier"</a> floated by the President, his Republican allies in Congress and by right-wing propaganda outlets such as Fox "News".</p>
<p>Contrary to earlier GOP spin, the FBI initiated its <a href="https://www.c-span.org/video/?425087-1/fbi-director-investigating-links-trump-campaign-russia">Trump/Russia investigation</a> <i>before</i> the Bureau was first contacted by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Steele">Christopher Steele</a>, the former British MI-6 intelligence agent and author of the 16 field memos collectively known as the "Steele Dossier".</p>
<p>Indeed, even Republicans now concede that point, as detailed by the feckless <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2018/02/read-the-full-text-of-the-nunes-memo/552191/">Nunes memo</a>, which notes that the Trump/Russia probe was initially <a href="http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/nunes-memo-george-papadopoulos-investigation-triggered-formal-launch-of-fbi-probe-in-trump-campaign/article/2647947">triggered</a> by the loose lips of Trump campaign foreign policy aide, George Papadopoulos. </p>
<p>That timing issue, however, is but a tip of the iceberg.</p>
<p>We now know why Congressional Republicans sought for so long to keep the Simpson transcripts under wraps. They had hoped to erect a patently false narrative that depicted the 'Steele Dossier" as a groundless and politically-motivated exercise in character assassination; a "poison" that so tainted everyone at the FBI who touched it, that it called for, in the <a href="https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2017/12/how-fox-is-undermining-the-mueller-investigation.html">words</a> of Jeannie Pirro at Fox "News", a "cleansing" and subsequent jailing of the individuals at the FBI and Department of Justice (DOJ) who have undertaken to investigate Trump/Russia.</p>
<p>By detailing both the sound investigative techniques applied by Simpson and Steele, and, most importantly, by explaining the real reasons why Steele reported his disturbing, yet entirely unanticipated findings to the FBI, the now public Simpson Congressional transcripts expose the mendacity behind a vicious right-wing assault on the integrity of the Trump/Russia probe and upon our federal law enforcement institutions.  In the process, the Simpson transcripts raise even more deeply unsettling questions about the man now serving as the 45th President of the United States...</p>

				<p><img src="http://www.BradBlog.com/images/BradCast_RepBarbaraLee_TrumpKelly_020918.jpg" hspace="6" vspace="3" border="0" align="right">On today's <a href="http://BradBlog.com/BradCast"><i>BradCast</i></a>: We're joined by progressive Democratic <b>REP. BARBARA LEE</b> of California, the only member of Congress, in either house, to vote against the Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) after 9/11, calling it a blank check that would lead to endless war. As we now know, 17 years later, with the War in Afghanistan and many others still raging under the third President to cite the AUMF to justify military action anywhere in the world without Congressional oversight, she was, of course, correct. Along with continuing her fight to repeal that 2001 AUMF, this week Lee <a href="https://lee.house.gov/news/press-releases/rep-barbara-lee-announces-introduction-of-women-and-climate-change-act">introduced</a> a new bill regarding woman and climate change, which we discuss as well today. [<i>Audio link to show follows below.</i>]</p>
<p>But first up, on another insanely busy program, we detail what happened on Thursday night and Friday morning when Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) single-handedly <a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2018/02/rand-paul-shutdown">held up</a> passage of the new, bi-partisan <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2018/02/08/12-of-the-most-important-things-in-congress-massive-spending-deal/?utm_term=.b670ac6321bb">government spending bill</a>, which includes up to $500 billion in new military and domestic spending, as well as disaster aid. In shutting down the government for the second time this year, for about seven hours, Paul described approval of the bill and increased deficit spending by his fellow Republicans to be the "the very definition of intellectual dishonesty [and] hypocrisy". That, after the intellectually dishonest and hypocritical Paul just voted in December, along with the entire Senate Republican caucus, for massive, unpaid-for tax cuts set to blow a $1.5 trillion hole in the national debt.</p>
<p>Then, late details on this week's newest scandal surrounding the resignation of White House Staff Secretary Rob Porter on Wednesday, following the public <a href="https://theintercept.com/2018/02/07/rob-porter-wives-abuse-trump-aide/">disclosure</a> of his alleged violence against his two former wives. Among the new developments: Donald Trump's Chief of Staff John Kelly and other top White House officials reportedly <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/top-white-house-officials-knew-of-abuse-allegations-against-top-aide-for-months/2018/02/08/2faddcf2-0ce9-11e8-95a5-c396801049ef_story.html?utm_term=.f66b488d4314">knew about</a> the charges long ago; Kelly has now said he'd be <a href="https://mobile.nytimes.com/2018/02/09/us/politics/trump-porter-abuse.html">willing to resign</a> over what happened, and several outlets are reporting that their remain <a href="https://mobile.nytimes.com/2018/02/09/us/politics/trump-porter-abuse.html">"dozens"</a> of White House staffers, some in very senior positions, still operating without full security clearance.</p>
<p>That suggests that many of them, like the President's son-in-law Jared Kushner, may never receive full security clearances, despite Trump and the GOP having run their entire Presidential campaign hypocritically (and falsely) charging that Hillary Clinton carelessly allowed classified information to be seen by those without proper security clearance. <a href="https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow/watch/rob-porter-access-to-classified-info-raises-huge-legal-question-1157292611791?playlist=associated">According to Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D-NY)</a>, a former White House Staff Secretary himself, describes this situation as "nuts", saying that Porter would have handled the nation's most highly classified secrets in his top Oval Office role. He believes an investigation is warranted to determine what both Kelly and Trump knew about the "eminently blackmailable" Porter and who gave him the okay to remain on, even after the FBI had determined he would not qualify for a full security clearance.</p>
<p>Next, we're joined by Congresswoman Lee, to detail her new <a href="http://lee.house.gov/imo/media/doc/LEE_105_xml.pdf">"Woman and Climate Change Act of 2018" [PDF]</a>. We discuss how women and girls around the world are "bearing the brunt in many ways", as the first and most affected victims of the dangerous effects of global warming and whether Republican members of the bi-partisan Women's Working Group may help in co-sponsoring this effort, despite "the climate deniers who are within the federal government running the show."</p>
<p>"Women are especially vulnerable to these changes in the environment," Lee explains. "We know women are the ones that are finding water, collecting food, caring for family members. And so now, more than ever, we need to focus on climate change as a whole, but also ways to empower women, as they are the most vulnerable people, and will be impacted most by these health epidemics, refuge crises, forced migration --- all the issues that we know women are disproportionately impacted by."</p>
<p>She also shares her opinion on the odds of Ivanka Trump, self-proclaimed women's champion, coming aboard this particular campaign. Lee, a former co-chair of the Progressive Caucus in the House, who now serves as Senior Democratic Whip, responds as to whether Democrats fought hard enough, during the recent government funding battle, to protect "Dreamers" facing imminent deportation as early as March 5, unless a legislative deal can be struck, and whether she believes House Speaker Paul Ryan will ever allow such a measure to be brought up for a vote. She urges Americans to keep contacting their members of Congress on both of these efforts.</p>
<p>"Listen, you have to stay optimistic. Otherwise we get stuck with their negativity and trying to take us back.  The public has to be hopeful and has to work hard to get this done," she tells me.</p>
<p>Finally, Lee also shares her thoughts on the bi-partisan momentum in both the House and Senate for finally repealing (and replacing?) the 2001 AUMF. "Congress has been missing in action. We need to do our job, and we're not. But, believe you me, we are building support to do this," she insists. "Hold your elected officials accountable!"</p>
<p>We close today with a bit of listener mail in response to a recent story we covered on the <a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.com/?icid=hjx004">record number</a> of scientists now said to be running for office in 2018, and on the dangerous new effort by the Trump Administration place <a href="http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/article198549039.html">lifetime limits on Medicaid</a> for the first time in the popular social safety net program's history...</p>

				<p><img src="http://www.BradBlog.com/images/BradCast_JohnKelly_RobPorter_020818.jpg" hspace="6" vspace="3" border="0" align="right">On today's <a href="http://BradBlog.com/BradCast"><i>BradCast</i></a>: As Congress <a href="https://m.nytimes.com/2018/02/08/us/politics/congress-budget-deal-vote.html">struggles</a> to pass a spending bill and <a href="https://talkingpointsmemo.com/dc/shutdown-showdown-fizzles-as-pelosi-declines-to-whip-dems-against-budget">avoid</a> another government shutdown, the White House was busy on Thursday <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/white-house-refuses-to-say-what-john-kelly-knew-about-rob-porter-wife-beating-story">fending off</a> much-deserved criticism for allowing an alleged wife abuser to serve as a top Oval Office official for the past year, despite failing background and security checks over that time. [<i>Audio link to show posted below.</i>]</p>
<p>White House Staff Secretary Rob Porter finally <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2018/02/07/white-house-staffer-rob-porter-resigns-amid-abuse-allegations/316149002/">resigned</a> on Wednesday, but not before Donald Trump's Chief of Staff John Kelly <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/07/politics/rob-porter-white-house-who-knew/index.html">fought hard</a> to keep him on board and wildly <a href="https://www.politico.com/story/2018/02/07/white-house-aide-rob-porter-resigns-after-allegations-from-ex-wives-397407">sang his praises</a>, even after reportedly being told long ago that Porter's two former wives had <i>both</i> accused him of physical and emotional abuse, which they had notified the FBI about as early as January of 2017.</p>
<p>It wasn't until a graphic photo of one of the women with a black eye --- which she says she told the FBI that Porter had caused when he punched her while on a vacation --- was <a href="https://theintercept.com/2018/02/07/rob-porter-wives-abuse-trump-aide/">published</a>, that the White House finally got around to <a href="https://www.politico.com/story/2018/02/07/john-kelly-porter-allegations-abuse-398168">backing off</a> the praises they had been singing for him. That, even while Porter had been handling the nation's most classified information along with Kelly, despite being <a href="https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2018/02/heres-why-rob-porter-was-able-to-get-security-clearance.html">unable to obtain</a> a full security clearance, thanks to his violent and abusive background.</p>
<p>We cover many of the developing details in that <a href="https://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/wh-doesnt-deny-reports-it-knew-about-allegations-of-ex-staffers-abuse">grotesque</a> story, including some of the remarkable (and <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/blogs/right-turn/wp/2018/02/08/the-family-values-crowd-is-mute-on-rob-porter/?tid=ss_tw&#038;utm_term=.8113f3ec3127&#038;__twitter_impression=true">shameful</a>) reaction to it today.</p>
<p>Then, the 2018 Affordable Care Act enrollment numbers are <a href="http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-na-pol-obamacare-enrollment-20180207-story.html">finally in</a> and suggest that Americans, even in states won by Trump in 2016, sure do <a href="https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/11-8-million-enroll-obamacare-2018">like ObamaCare</a>!</p>
<p>Nonetheless, the White House and Republican states are still doing all they can to take health coverage away from Americans, particularly those that need it most. Several GOP states have now applied for waivers to allow them to put <a href="http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/article198549039.html">lifetime limits on the use of Medicaid</a> for the first time in the history of the crucial social safety net program. </p>
<p>Finally, Desi Doyen joins us for the latest <a href="http://GreenNews.BradBlog.com"><i>Green News Report</i></a>, in which Trump's EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt uses your public airwaves to double-down on lies about climate change, Dunkin' Donuts finally ditches foam cups (well, eventually, anyway), and California fends off the Trump Administration's hopes of expanding offshore drilling off the Golden State coast...</p>

				<p><img src="http://www.BradBlog.com/images/BradCast_DefendDacaDreamers_020718.jpg" hspace="6" vspace="3" border="0" align="right">On today's <a href="http://BradBlog.com/BradCast"><i>BradCast</i></a>: Several encouraging election-related news items for Democrats and others in the fact-based community, but still more troubling news for American immigrants and their families as DACA recipients are left out of a new Senate deal to keep the government open. [<i>Audio link to show posted at end of article.</i>]</p>
<p>We start with some of the good news for Democrats, as yet another special election on Tuesday has resulted in yet another state legislative <a href="https://talkingpointsmemo.com/dc/another-dem-pulls-off-a-big-upset-in-state-legislative-race">seat flipped from "red" to "blue"</a>. This time it was a special election for the Missouri House in a district where Trump is said to have won by 28 points in 2016.  The stunning victory continues a tidal wave of Republican seats picked up by Democrats since Donald Trump took office last year. There is less good news for Republicans, however, as a holocaust denier and actual member of the American Nazi party is now <a href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/politics/holocaust-denier-arthur-jones-republican-3rd-congressional-district-lipinski-newman/">set to become</a> the GOP's nominee for the U.S. House in Illinois'  3rd Congressional district this fall.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, U.S. Senate leaders Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Chuck Schumer (D-NY) announced a <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/spending-deal-in-jeopardy-as-pelosi-issues-last-minute-demand-on-immigration/2018/02/07/a07e4e68-0c1b-11e8-8890-372e2047c935_story.html?utm_term=.9951b964a6e9">breakthrough agreement</a> on Wednesday to keep the federal government funded and open in advance of Thursday night's shutdown deadline. The deal, if adopted by both chambers of Congress, would increase both military and domestic spending by some $300 billion, includes additional disaster relief to states rebuilding after last year's hurricanes, funds community health centers for several years, and increases the debt ceiling to avoid a government default, as lost revenue following the GOP's $1.5 trillion tax cut last year means federal borrowing must be increased sooner than previously expected.</p>
<p>The deal, however, does <i>not</i> include protections for "Dreamers", those who immigrated here with their parents years ago, who now face the possibility of mass deportation as early as March 5, after Trump reversed the Obama-era DACA program that had previously protected them. Some progressives and self-identified conservatives in the U.S. House oppose the Senate plan, including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) who took to the House floor today for a record <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/powerpost/pelosi-launches-hours-long-filibuster-style-speech-in-bid-to-force-immigration-votes-in-the-house/2018/02/07/b98a25f4-0c33-11e8-8b0d-891602206fb7_story.html?utm_term=.efe158004af8">8-hour marathon speech</a> to highlight the DACA issue and contributions made by hundreds of thousands of "Dreamers" who have lived here most of their lives.</p>
<p>Pelosi says she opposes the Senate bill and called on House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) to promise a vote on immigration issues, as McConnell has in the Senate. Freedom Caucus Republicans in the House also <a href="http://thehill.com/homenews/house/372805-gop-fiscal-hawks-revolt-against-senate-budget-deal">claim to be upset</a> by the bill, thanks to its additional new government spending. So, it remains to be seen if today's breakthrough package will make it to the President's desk before the midnight Thursday deadline or not.  Either way, it doesn't appear that a fix to DACA will be included, assuring more continued uncertainty for some 800,000 previously protected Dreamers who could soon face deportation.</p>
<p>We're joined today by <b>JESSICA HANSON</b>, attorney at the <a href="http://nilc.org">National Immigration Law Center</a>, to discuss how a recent <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/jan/10/judge-blocks-trump-dreamers-daca-program-immigrants">federal court ruling</a>, temporarily blocking some of Trump's attempted DACA reversal, may effect his March 5 deadline for legislation to protect "Dreamers", as well as the rise of white nativism in the GOP, including Trump and his Chief of Staff John Kelly.</p>
<p>Hanson explains the "temporary reprieve" by a federal court ruling in California that has allowed "individuals who have had DACA previously to renew their DACA grant." But, she says, while <a href="https://www.nilc.org/issues/daca/">NILC recommends</a> such renewals, even where some may have already expired, she notes that those who never had DACA protection are still out in the cold, at the moment, as "the government took the unusual step of seeking to skip the 9th Circuit and instead appeal directly to the Supreme Court" in the ruling.</p>
<p>In response to recent remarks from Kelly, alleging that those not covered by DACA were <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/06/politics/john-kelly-daca-deadline/index.html">"too lazy to get off their asses"</a> and that he "doubts very much" Trump will extend the program beyond March 5, Hanson charges: "Those remarks reflect an ongoing, deep, white nativist sentiment with this administration that has shown itself over and over again."</p>
<p>We also discuss a number of other related issues, including Trump's lies about our <i>legal</i> immigration policies, such as the Diversity Lottery and Family Reunification programs that he is now trying to restrict and ties to a DACA deal ("The President has been completely misrepresenting these programs," explains Hanson, who describes it as yet another effort "to make America white again"), and concerns about millions of other American immigrants already being terrorized by detention, deportation and separation from their families, business and lives under Trump's radical anti-immigrant policies.</p>
<p>She joins NILC in <a href="https://www.nilc.org/2018/02/07/senate-deal-leaves-dreamers-cold/">decrying</a> today's Senate deal, charging that "it is inexcusable that the Senate leadership has agreed to put immigrant issues aside" and explains that "the mainstream media could do a lot more to lift up these stories" about abuses by Trump's immigration enforcement agencies like ICE and CBP, "because a lot of people don't realize it's happening [and] have no idea that this is going on."</p>
<p>Finally, we finish up with a bit more encouraging election news for those still interested in facts and reality and science, as a <a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/science-candidates_us_5a74fffde4b06ee97af2ae60?ncid=tweetlnkushpmg00000016&#038;section=politics">record number of scientists</a> are now lined up to run for office in 2018, on the state, local and federal level, in response to the Trump Administration and GOP's increasingly anti-science policies and positions...</p>

				<p><img src="http://www.BradBlog.com/images/BradCast_DonaldTrump_BackOfHead_wave_020618.jpg" hspace="6" vspace="3" border="0" align="right">On today's <a href="http://BradBlog.com/BradCast"><i>BradCast</i></a>, as one political mess piles up on top of another in D.C. (and across the country), at what now seems to be an impossible pace, our old friend <b>HEATHER DIGBY PARTON</b> <a href="https://www.salon.com/writer/heather_digby_parton">of Salon</a> and <a href="http://digbysblog.blogspot.com">"Digby's Hullabaloo"</a> blog is here today to try and help us dig out of from under it. Wish her luck. [<i>Audio link to show is posted at end of article.</i>]</p>
<p>First up, Parton responds to Donald Trump's <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/05/politics/trump-speech-treason/index.html">charge</a> on Monday that Democrats who failed to stand and applaud during his State of the Union address last week were "unAmerican" and may have committed "treason". Yes, he actually said as much, even though treason is punishable by death, and couldn't possibly be applied in this case. (And, yes, we also discuss how many others also misuse the charge of "treason" against <i>Trump</i>.)</p>
<p>Then, Republicans on the U.S. House Intelligence Committee have finally <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/05/us/politics/democratic-memo-adam-schiff-trump.html">voted</a> to release the Democratic Rebuttal Memo written in response to the cherry-picked Republican Memo produced by committee Chair Devin Nunes (R-CA), perhaps in collusion with the White House. The Nunes memo, though landing with a <a href="https://www.salon.com/2018/02/02/worse-than-a-nothingburger-the-nunes-memo-lands-with-a-dud/">thud</a> after it's release on Friday, is still being used by Fox "News" GOPers to falsely make the case that Robert Mueller's Special Counsel probe must be shut down due to an alleged misuse of material from the so-called "Trump/Russia Dossier" written by a former British intelligence agent, for the FISA warrant application sought and obtained by the FBI in 2016 (and renewed three times) to intercept communications with Carter Page, a former Trump Campaign advisor and suspected Russian asset.</p>
<p>But will the President actually allow the House Democrats' rebuttal memo to be released to the public? Parton has her doubts ("I don't know why people think it's a done deal. I mean, I keep wanting to say, 'Have you met Donald Trump?!'") She also has <a href="https://www.salon.com/2018/02/06/lock-them-all-up-trumps-desperate-new-strategy-investigate-everybody/">a few thoughts</a> on Nunes and the entire GOP attempt to undermine the Mueller probe on <a href="https://www.salon.com/2018/02/05/after-years-of-sleazy-partisan-attacks-suddenly-republicans-are-outraged/">specious grounds</a> and on the promise by Nunes' to produce several <i>new</i> memos in what is part of <a href="http://thehill.com/homenews/house/372467-nunes-claims-clear-link-between-dems-and-russia-during-2016-election">his new effort</a> to make the case that Hillary Clinton, not Donald Trump, conspired with Russia before the 2016 election. Parton compares the effort to go after members of the FBI and DoJ, etc., to Sen. Joseph McCarthy's targeting, in the 1950s, of alleged Communists in the FBI, Dept. of Justice and State Department. Sadly, the effort by Nunes, Trump and friends seems to be working, at least partially, according to a stunning new <a href="https://www.axios.com/gop-turns-on-fbi-survey-78c4f486-8755-4c9e-be99-a1567bd3a625.html">Axios poll</a>.</p>
<p>I also share my own concern with Parton about what I see as a serious weakness in the <i>Democrats'</i> case for "collusion" against Trump, and she shares her prediction that "there's an excellent chance" a second Special Counsel will be convened to try and prosecute Hillary Clinton before this is all said and done.</p>
<p>We then go on to discuss the <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/feb/06/trump-government-shutdown-democrats-immigration">mess</a> in Congress in advance of another possible federal government shutdown later this week, which Trump, on Tuesday, <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-congress-shutdown-trump/trump-says-id-love-to-see-a-shutdown-if-no-immigration-law-idUSKBN1FQ2V6">said he welcomes</a> amid what has been his own bad faith deal-making with Democrats over the fate of some 800,000 children of immigrants brought here illegally decades ago. Those kids had been protected from deportation by the Obama-era DACA program, until Trump reversed it --- using them as human shields for his radical new immigration demands --- setting a deadline to begin their deportation as early as March 5th, unless a deal can be struck for legislation passed by Congress to protect them. </p>
<p>"This is a mess. It's been a mess," Parton argues. "Giving the Democrats a little bit of slack, this immigration problem and the DACA kids have been out there for a long time, and they have tried. The problem for the Democrats was that they thought, when Donald Trump was elected, because of this promises "Oh, I love the [DACA] kids!', that he had the credibility to bring along the Freedom Caucus and all these right-wing anti-immigration hawks in the Congress. That was the game that Trump talked. It turns out that he's a complete mess. He doesn't know how the government works. He doesn't know how to negotiate."</p>
<p>So, now, such a deal must somehow be worked out between the Dems, who are lousy negotiators, and Trump, who is a dishonest one, in advance of Friday's government shutdown deadline, or be pushed off yet again, leaving the fate of the DACA kids in jeopardy as March approaches. Not helping in the matter, as Parton observes, is Trump's far-right, <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/john-kelly-suggests-some-dreamers-might-be-too-lazy-to-get-off-their-asses">anti-immigrant</a> Chief of Staff John Kelly, not to mention the untrustworthy Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.</p>
<p>Next, Desi Doyen joins us for the latest news-filled <a href="http://GreenNews.BradBlog.com"><i>Green News Report</i></a>.</p>
<p>And, finally, some new <a href="https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2018/2/5/1739029/-BREAKING-PA-Republicans-To-Try-and-Impeach-the-State-Supreme-Court-Rather-than-Uphold-its-Ruling">developments</a> out of Pennsylvania where, speaking of the rise of authoritarianism under Republican rule, an elected GOPer in the state House is now moving to impeach five of the seven Justices on the state Supreme Court after they voted to require new U.S. House maps for the state. The new districts would replace the GOP's illegally gerrymandered Congressional Districts that Republicans have been using to hold 13 of 18 U.S. House seats in the closely divided (but Democratic-leaning) swing-state. The nascent impeachment effort --- though one that <a href="https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/960925007823147008.html?refreshed=yes">should be taken seriously</a> --- in the PA House comes as the Republican President of the state Senate continues to <a href="http://www.philly.com/philly/news/gerrymander-pa-scarnati-map-us-supreme-court-20180131.html">defy the court's orders</a>, despite their ruling being <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-court-election/us-supreme-court-allows-revamp-of-pennsylvania-electoral-map-idUSKBN1FP2E0">upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court</a> on Monday.</p>
<p>Yes, this mess keeps getting messier. By the minute...</p>
