The advanced nanobubbler technology very effectively killed the algae that has plagued every Lincoln Reflecting Pool reopening—most infamously Obama's reopening—since 1922. The Reflecting Pool water is crystal clear, and our National Park Service team is now vacuuming up the dead algae resting on the bottom of some parts of the Reflecting Pool—just like the destroyed Iranian Navy resting on the bottom of the Persian Gulf.

AIPAC spent tens of millions of dollars lobbying against the Iran nuclear deal, a signature Obama achievement, and now is running an ad featuring Obama that misleadingly suggests Obama endorsed Haley Stevens in the MI Senate race. Weird that people dislike the organization...

Senate Candidate for Michigan @MalloryMcMorrow on expanding healthcare and paid leave: "Everything I am proposing is under the umbrella of protecting your kids and families... if you start [kids] off on the right foot when brain development happens the most, then you succeed." @CitizenCohn spoke with all three Democratic candidates for the Michigan Senate ahead of the primary race between Rep.

AIPAC’s United Democracy Project super PAC is starting to buy ad time around Michigan today, marking its first spending in #MISen this cycle




Mallory McMorrow—who hasn’t released her own tax returns—rolls out a massive “ethics package” demanding Prez and VP release their tax returns, but shields herself from the same standard

A SuperPAC formed 3 days ago drops $1.22 million in the #MISen race for Democrat Haley Stevens (the SuperPAC is using Chain Bridge Bank, the go-to institution favored by Republicans, but using Democratic vendors)
