predictably to partisan maneuvers now, Pubs and Dems. And certainly the media.

While political news addicts and the media were focused on this yesterday and now today, the Republican congress moved ahead with plans for what is literally the biggest theft in all of history. Trillions of dollars to be taken from the American people and given to Republican dark-money donors.

They needed a distraction and my guess is have had this willing agent and her photo in their pocket for some time. Like tossing fish to seals.
