Seattle Mayor Ed Murray after newly surfaced sex abuse documents: I'm not going to resign
A city councilwoman is asking the Seattle mayor to consider stepping down after a newly surfaced investigation believed Ed Murray abused a foster son in 1984. Murray's former foster son, Jeff Simpson, is one of four men who publicly accused him this spring of sexually abusing them long ago. Murray adamantly denies the allegations, but he declined to seek re-election in the upcoming race. Councilwoman Lorena González released a statement on Monday that said she is “deeply concerned” about the mayor’s ability to lead, and she asked him to consider stepping down as mayor. A couple of mayoral candidates are sharing that sentiment, calling on the mayor to resign.

Gingrich: Harvard Says CNN is 93% Negative -- That's an 'Attack Network,' 'Propaganda Network'
Commenting on how the White House is taking new approaches with its daily press briefings, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) said he would exclude CNN from the briefings because a study by Harvard determined that CNN's coverage of President Trump was 93% negative, which makes them an "attack network," a "propaganda network."

[Information from this site may not be reliable.]The focus on Obamacare as the source of all our health-care woes has distracted us from the real foundations of the healthcare mess. If actually improving the lives of taxpayers and constituents were the goal, the GOP could have focused less on specifically repudiating the Obama agenda, and instead looking for ways to undo decades of government meddling in healthcare — which has produced the expensive, inflexible, and monopolistic healthcare system we have today.
As I mentioned in an earlier article, Nancy MacLean’s Democracy in Chains has aroused controversy, in large part owing to her many inaccuracies and misleading remarks. I’d like in this note to call attention to a few more of these.
Absolute Immunity for Prosecutors Creates the Classic “Lemons Problem.” Public officials argue that to be able to carry out their duties, laws must protect them from lawsuits by disgruntled individuals or those harmed by wrongful actions of government agents. The U.S. Supreme Court especially has protected prosecutors, granting them absolute immunity as long as they committed wrongful acts within the scope of their legal duties. Prosecutorial immunity provides an incentive to government prosecutors to engage in fraud if it's good for their careers.

Alan Dershowitz: New York Times ignoring me because 'I don't have the right point of view'
Alan Dershowitz recently tried to publish an opinion piece in The New York Times that President Trump likely did not attempt to obstruct justice by firing former FBI Director James Comey. But Dershowitz told the Washington Examiner over the phone on Monday that the Times had "no response" to his submission. The widely known legal commentator and cable news fixture said he remains a "liberal Hillary Clinton supporter," but said after reading an op-ed in the Times that argued Trump could be charged for criminal conduct in Comey's firing, he reached out in June to the paper to present an opposing view.

The party of failure
The GOP controls both houses of Congress. It holds the White House. For seven years its leadership railed against ObamaCare, and its rank-and-file members voted to repeal it, over and over again. Yet here we are, six months into the Trump administration, and what has the party managed to deliver?
