Thursday on CNN’s “New Central,” Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) dismissed scandal-ridden Maine U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner because Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) rubber stamps President Donald Trump’s agenda. Host Kate Bolduan said, “You are running for Senate. As I mentioned, another Democrat running for Senate is running in Maine, Graham Platner. He has faced controversy over a few things over his tattoo. You defended him over that, I saw that. He’s also facing controversy over exchanging sexually explicit text messages with multiple women, which his wife flagged to the campaign on her own. When he was just in Washington, though, meeting…

House lawmakers moved a measure this week to lower gas prices at military exchanges in hopes of making fuel cheaper for United States service men and women.

The measure would also allow the secretary to discount prices even further in order to counteract high state and local taxes. Introduced by Rep. Abe Hamadeh,…

From the 29 states that DID share data, we’ve already identified at least $3 billion a year in fraud. Extrapolated nationwide: more than $10 billion. This isn’t ‘erroneous payments.’ This is FRAUD — and yes, @RepAngieCraig, I know the difference. Do you?” Rollins shared a clip of her exchange with Agriculture Committee Ranking Member…

India-born Rep. Shrinivas Thanedar (D-MI) says it is essential that the federal government accelerate the inflow of migrants into seasonal jobs throughout his very poor district in Michigan. “We are falling behind because we don’t have a robust immigration policy,” Thanedar told a May 28 meeting of business executives at the northern Michigan Mackinac Island resort, adding: I have talked with business owners … [about] the H-2B visa [seasonal worker] program.

For much of the nation, it feels like we are in a permanent economic crisis with no end in sight. I have been documenting our long-term economic decline for years, and now we have reached a point where Americans have literally never felt this bad about the state of the U.S. economy. Considering everything that we have been through over the last several decades, that is saying a lot. So how will the American people be feeling if economic conditions continue to deteriorate? We might want to be thinking about that, because all of the long-term trends are taking us…
