MOUNT VERNON, IOWA — Pumped-up Iowans wearing “Warren Has a Plan for That” T-shirts stood and clapped as the spritely senator jogged past them, her pink cardigan streaming behind her, and then fell to a hush as she grabbed the microphone. But before Elizabeth Warren talks about her plans, she talks about her past — at least, some of it. “So, I was born and raised in Oklahoma,” Warren told her supporters in a sun-dappled backyard in Eastern Iowa on Friday, launching into the story of her father’s sudden heart attack that forced her mother to get a minimum-wage jo

MORE (D-Calif.) again declined to support this week. Maguire is now scheduled to testify before the House Intelligence Committee on Sept.

An air of crisis is enveloping Washington over allegations from a whistleblower against MORE over his dealings with a foreign government. The specifics of the complaint are still unclear — something that irks Trump’s critics and supporters alike — but dealings with Ukraine appear to form a major part of it. The furor is also deepening because of Democratic outrage that the administration has blocked details of the complaint from being made available, even on a classified basis, to members of Congress. The Washington Post initially broke the story that an unnamed intel

Like his predecessor, MORE’s new national security adviser is known for advocating for a robust American presence abroad, but Robert O’Brien’s allies predict he will take a less confrontational approach to the role. O’Brien, who until Wednesday was serving as the State Department’s top hostage negotiator, has been thrust into a decidedly more high-profile job that comes with many challenges — chief among them adjusting to Trump’s unconventional management style and finding a way to influence the president in a way that doesn’t alienate him.

Nadler’s remarks were made as he spoke in Washington, D.C., at one of several global climate strike protests. “We have to make sure people feel the depth and the immediacy of this crisis, which is approaching us much more rapidly and much worse than the scientists proposed twenty years ago and ten years ago,” Nadler said. “Half measures will not do,” Nadler continued. “We are facing a crisis.

Selzer & Co conducted the poll, surveying 602 likely caucusgoers September 14-18, 2019. It shows Warren topping the crowded Democrat field with 22 percent support, marking the “first time she has led in the Register’s poll,” as the Des Moines Register indicated. Biden, who has largely remained the frontrunner as several national polls indicate, fell to second place with 20 percent support. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) followed in a distant third with 11 percent support.

Their participation follows weeks of climate change alarmism from the presidential candidates, many of whom have signaled support for limiting beef consumption in order to combat what they say is a looming climate catastrophe. According to reports, organizers were prepared to grill roughly 10,500 steaks plus 1,000 vegan burgers.

“I believe it’s ready for prime time,” Mike Lee said in a June 19 statement on the Senate floor, adding: Leon Fresco, a Democrat lawyer working with Lee to pass the bill, also declared the bill will pass the Senate: Fresco helped Sen. Chuck Schumer write the 2013 “Gang of Eight” amnesty bill that nearly passed — and which would have provided investors with a flood of cheap labor for at least 20 years. Lee’s promise came just after Georgia Sen.
