Bernie Shakes it Up...

Hillary's email flap reveals how weak the Dems' bench really is; and Ted Cruz's announcement actually helps him in the polls...ugh, Clinton on defense again and Ted Cruz at centerstage, what a start to 2016! Will it get better?

Lobbyist for a Day...Battling Dysfunction on the Front Lines

On the day the GOP sank the human trafficking legislation, I happened to be in Washington lobbying with Planned Parenthood. A first hand view of the battle to get good things done, the good and the bad:
