LEFT-CENTER BIAS, MIXED, newspaper in Washington, D.C.FISA shocker: DOJ official warned Steele dossier was connected to Clinton, might be biased

The then-senior Department of Justice (DOJ) official briefed both senior FBI and DOJ officials in summer 2016 about Christopher Steele’s Russia dossier, explicitly cautioning that the British intelligence operative’s work was opposition research connected to Hillary Clinton’s campaign and might be biased.

Democrats Unveil Bill to Raise Federal Minimum Wage to $15
Congressional Democrats introduced legislation on Wednesday to raise the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour. The Raise the Wage Act is designed to hike the minimum wage gradually until it hits $15 an hour by 2024.

Democrats hope to lift more low-income workers out of financial stress while critics warn it could cause more harm than good. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), Sen. Patty Murray (Wash.), and others also announced their support.
Whoopi Goldberg Rips Bill de Blasio Over NYC Bike Lanes: ‘You Screwed the City Up!’
ABC News’ “The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg ranted against New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) for the miles of protected bike lanes throughout the city as the TV segment on Wednesday took an uncomfortable turn — one de Blasio probably didn’t expect. De Blasio appeared on the NYC-based “The View” to tout his unprecedented initiative offering free health care to all residents — including illegal immigrants. After a few minutes spent discussing that topic, Goldberg abruptly hijacked the conversation to talk about “what’s really pissing me off.”
