Koch fiend Cory sleazed his way into office and he has started a rampage of bowing down to the Kochs, the NRA, Netanyahu and everything else that is disgusting and rightwing and wrong. Every moment he is in office is a moment when America IS IN DANGER.

There are serious consequences of the letter 47 Republican senators sent to the government of Iran: “This kind of letter is unprecedented and undiplomatic. In truth, it told us that we cannot trust the United States. —March 10, 2015 in a meeting with top clerics It is a matter of national security to mitigate the harm that has been done and assure Iran that the US can be trusted.

47 GOP Senators signed an open letter to the government of Iran in apparent violation of the Logan Act which makes it a crime for any citizen to engage in "“any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government . . . with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government . . . in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States.” This action endangers delicate negotiations that could result in an Iranian nuclear weapon.

The Republicans in the U.S. Senate have overreached the scope of their authority and are attempting to undermine the U.S. President's power to negotiate foreign policy in violation of The Logan Act. If this action is allowed to go unpunished, it will have dramatically negative consequences, not only for President Obama, but for any future U.S. president and will seriously undermine the United States of America's ability to be the leading country of the free world.

Because I think someone has broken the law.

TREASON

1. A long-fought legal battle to recover $8.9 billion in damages from Exxon Mobil Corporation for the contamination and loss of use of more than 1,500 acres of wetlands, marshes, meadows and waters in northern New Jersey has been quietly settled by the state for around $250 million. 2. This was no small contamination – we’re talking about 7 million gallons of oil, ranging in thickness from 7 feet to 17 feet. It’s no wonder New Jersey sought $8.9 billion in damages when its Democratic governor first filed suit in 2004. By all estimates, it would cost billions just to repair some of the obvious environmental damage. 3. A debate over New Jersey’s proposed $250 million settlement of what had been an $8.9 billion pollution lawsuit against Exxon Mobil Corporation has highlighted an obscure provision of a state law that would appear to allow Gov. Chris Christie to apply most if not all of the settlement toward balancing the state budget. 4. The current state appropriations law, as proposed by Mr. Christie last year, says that any funds beyond the first $50 million collected in damages or other environmental recoveries shall go to the state’s general fund. When state lawmakers tried to amend the proposal to steer more money back toward environmental restoration, Mr. Christie vetoed the effort.

Georgia's early voting period was cut dramatically in 2011 from 45 early voting days to 21. Now lawmakers want to cut to 12 days - that's 11 voting days and 4 hours on weekend. This will cause LONG lines and waiting times and may disenfranchise many voters. Fighting against prohibitive voting laws is important. We all need to speak up when our rights OR the rights of others are being infringed upon. This is #VoterSuppresion!

Someone should stand up to the do-nothing Congress. They have failed America completely.

UPDATE 4/1, 10PM ET: Several media outlets are reporting that Menendez will step down from the leadership of SFRC and be replaced by Cardin. UPDATE 4/1: Menendez has been indicted. He should step down from the Democratic leadership immediately. === The Justice Department is preparing to file corruption charges against New Jersey Sen. Robert Menendez following a 2-year investigation into allegations he accepted gifts and lavish vacations in exchange for political favors. [1] This has been long expected. In 2013 Menendez and Sen. Mitch McConnell were named by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) as the two most corrupt Senators. [2] Senator Menendez, like every other American, is entitled to a presumption of innocence when facing criminal prosecution. But he should not continue to serve in a position of leadership in the Senate while he remains under a cloud of suspicion of trading the power of his office for money. In 2008-2009, the New York Times [3], the Washington Post [4], and many Democrats [5] called for Rep. Charlie Rangel to step down from his chairmanship of the Ways and Means Committee while ethics allegations against him were investigated. In March 2010, he did so. [6] Senator Menendez currently serves as Democratic leader – “ranking member” – on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Thus, for example, he has a leading role in formulating the policy of Senate Democrats regarding U.S. diplomacy with Iran. Under a cloud of suspicion for trading political favors for money, Menendez should step down from this leadership position.
