Justin Lamar Sternad's Campaign Under Investigation by FBI, Miami-Dade Police
Well, that didn't take long. The bizarre campaign of Justin Lamar Sternad in the District 26 Democratic primary is under investigation by the FBI and Miami-Dade Police Department, according to the Miami Herald. His campaign's deep connections to Republican Rep. David Rivera definitely appear to be more than coincidental. The whole campaign seemed designed to attack a fellow Democrat -- the eventual winner of the primary -- Joe Garcia.
Unfortunately for Sternad, the campaign just couldn't keep its finances straight.
Sternad reported to the Federal Election Commission only an $11,000 loan of his own money to his campaign. The majority of it was spent on registering fees, and his last filing to the FEC showed he had just $120.97.
Yet the campaign somehow spent $43,000 on mailers, many of which targeted Garcia. Hugh Cochran, president of Campaign Data, told the Herald he was paid by the Rivera campaign to compile a list of voters to whom those mailings were ultimately sent. Other sources say the company that printed the mailers, Hialeah's Rapid Mail and Computer Services, was paid in cash-stuffed envelops. The woman who was apparently Sterand's campaign manager, Ana Alliegro, allegedly delivered some of the cash herself. As we learned yesterday, she's a close friend of Rivera's.

Sternard's lawyer, Rick Yabor (who himself has ties to Alliegro), claims the campaign will file new reports with the FEC even thought at this point they'll be late.
Odder still is that Congreesman Rivera was on Spanish-language América TeVe last night. He denied having any connections to Sternad's campaign, but did provide a few FEC reports from Sternad showing he had paid Rapid Mail. (Rapid Mail, meanwhile, is also used by Rivera, and the owners have made donations to his campaign.)
Though Rivera apparently has access to these FEC reports, the Herald cannot find them online, and an FEC spokesman told the newspaper that as of Friday, the reports were not filed.

Growth in a Differentiated Oligopoly with Product Innovation
We present a two-sector model where oligopolistic firms sell differentiated products. New products are introduced over time through formal R&D activity. Market competition takes place either a la Cournot or a la Bertrand. We show that tougher competition associated wit price-setting behavior does not entail a larger social welfare as long as it requires more effort for the production of the final goods.

and Lost in Translation |
While my hair
was still cut straight across my forehead |
David Hinton's
anthology of 'wilderness poetry', which covers some of the same ground as the
'New Direction' anthology but is actually wholly concerned with poetry from
the classical 'rivers and mountains' tradition, comes with scholarly
commentary about the tradition itself and the individual poets. |
Now, I could
be on dodgy ground here, because the translator of Mai Cheng's poems, Denis
Mair, is a reputed Chinese scholar and translator and he knows more about the
language and the culture than I will ever know, for sure. But this is about
poetry, and I don't have many friends anyway, so here goes. |

The Biker Update came out last fall for GTA Online. I tried the biker stuff when it first came out, but just getting the club house set me back enough. I couldn't afford to get a factory to go with it. Then I started grinding CEO work, and didn't really look back at the biker stuff. But once my buddies started playing again, and started getting into the biker stuff, I took a second look at it.
Closing the Loops
An important part of my GTD implementation is the review. I do a daily review each morning, where I map out the day, what I'm going to try to get done, and what's happening when. I do a weekly review every Friday morning, and then I do a monthly and yearly review at the end of each month and year. But the important one is the weekly review.
Really Good Days
The other day, I had a really good day. I don't mean that anything in particular happened, or that I was in a really good, happy mood all day. My mood was fine, and nothing out of the ordinary happened. But everything that did happen, happened according to plan.
Fear of the Unknown
Mynbruje has always been enthused about Borderlands 2. I had started the original Borderlands on the PS3, but was hobbled with my lack of familiarity with dual-stick controllers, and also my fear of the unknown. I had picked up Borderlands 2 – The Handsome Collection for the PS4 when it was on sale, mostly on Mynbruje's recommendation, and had started it, but didn't get very far. I was really into Destiny at the time, and it didn't make much sense to play a first person shooter that wasn't Destiny.
The Muddy Middle
I do like listening to music, really. I've just never gotten into it the way that a lot of people I've known through the years have gotten into it. There are people who are musicians, for whom music is their medium, and those people amaze me, but there are also the people for whom music is a recreation, and while those people still amaze me, they also confuse me. I think I'd like to be like that, but I just don't understand it.
Through the Glass
My son was watching me play a video game the other day. "When do we get to go in there?" he asked. I was thrown by the question. He's pretty precocious, and sometimes I forget how young he actually is.
Stop the Griefing
I've been re-playing Grand Theft Auto Online on the PS3 lately, and I've come to realize that it's basically a different game now from the version I've gotten used to on the PS4. I would imagine that the two platforms were similar when the PS4 launched, but now the PS3 is pretty far behind. It looks like the last DLC released for it was the Heists. You can do VIP work, I think, but it doesn't look like there are offices, CEOs, Bikers, etc.
Duct-Taping Tools
I've mentioned before that I live within OmniFocus. I've looked at other task managers, but they always seem to be wanting something. And also, it would take a lot to migrate my existing workflow into a new system. But I do have some issues with OmniFocus, some features I wish it had, or some things I wish they had implemented differently.
Another Day in Los Santos
I pulled myself from the smoking wreckage of the plane and looked out over the snow-covered hill. My cell phone buzzed in my pocket; it was my assistant, confirming what I already knew. The deal was off, the cargo lost. "I'm so sorry, boss," she said. "Come back to the office, and we'll try again."
Shear Off This Mane
I'm toying with the idea of adjusting some personal grooming habits in the coming year. I've got long hair and a beard, but probably not for the right reasons. The beard I like—I like the way it makes my face look, and I like the feel of it. It's a soothing nervous habit to be able to stroke it; it's nice and soft.
But the long hair is another story. I have long hair not as a counter-culture statement, and not because I like long hair, but because I'm lazy. I don't want to go get my hair cut because I don't want to talk to people, or interact in that way. When I worked in the office, I would get my hair cut fairly short, and then let it grow out again, and managed to only have a haircut about three times a year. Since I started working at home, the haircuts have gone out the window, and my hair has gotten long.

The sliced apple
What is it?: Years ago, someone noticed that a fractured 12-foot tall boulder looked like an apple sliced in pieces. It was eventually painted a brownish-red color for the skin and a white inside with black seeds.
Where is it?: Along Highway 74 in the Meadowbrook area between Perris and Lake Elsinore
The green frog
What is it?: At a rock outcropping near the apple, another large boulder is painted green to look like a frog.
Where is it?: Along Highway 74 in the Meadowbrook area between Perris and Lake Elsinore
The pink elephant
What is it?: In the 1960s, a Hemet high school coach first pointed out a large rock that was shaped like an elephant. It later was painted pink with a "No DUI" message added.
Where is it?: The pink elephant rock can be found on Highway 79 in Lamb Canyon between Beaumont and the San Jacinto Valley floor.
The pumpkin rock
What is it?: In Norco, a 15-foot-high jack-o'-lantern shaped rock sits perched on top of a hill. It's been painted in black-and-orange colors to look like Jack Skellington from the animated movie "The Nightmare Before Christmas."
Where is it?: On a hill at the end of a hiking trail off Vandermolen Drive in Norco.
The patriotic eagle
What is it?: Among a group of boulders up a hill in Menifee is one painted like a Bald Eagle wearing an American flag.
Where is it?: Along the south side of Newport Road, just west of Murrieta road.
There are rocks everywhere in Riverside County.
Some, however, stand out ... with a little help.
Over time, some have become local landmarks, thanks to creative types who -- instead of defacing boulders with graffiti -- have given them character by painting them. As animals. As objects. As symbols.
They have been changes over the years. The trunk of the pink elephant along Lamb Canyon Road fell off years ago. Hey, it happens.
Some have moved closer to suburbia. Well, suburbia moved closer to the rocks.
In Menifee, a boulder painted to look like an eagle was a long way from homes and even Newport Road. But the road was realigned some years ago to accommodate the Audie Murphy Ranch development. And those homes now sit behind the eagle.
Some reflect art, such as the fractured boulder that has been painted like a sliced apple. Others reflect popular culture, like the massive jack-o'-lantern in Norco. It resembles the character Jack Skellington from "The Nightmare Before Christmas."
Here are five painted rocks in the region worth seeing. Know of others? Let us know at firstname.lastname@example.com.

My apologies to all. My family and I have recently moved to a new home. We are living out of boxes for now, but my industrious wife and child are correcting that issue, though, I still cannot find my scrubs. I will post this while my dog look's for my scrubs (I gave him a scrub shirt with my scent, he is a blood hound). This issue I have today is an important one: medical mistakes. This has haunted medical professionals ever since the practice of medicine was discovered and refined (over 2000 years). Most lay people think medical mistakes involve wrong medications given to patients. While that is probably true, other mistake happen. An example is the wrong knee being replaced with a prosthetic. Or the wrong blood is given to a patient causing holy YOU know what in the ED. Ultrasound is becoming the standard of care in such situations like trauma to the chest and abdomen, and line placement both in the ED and in the CCU and ICU. Insurance companies recognize this and are setting up fee schedules that encourage the use of ultrasound in many instances. Ultrasound is becoming a wonderful tool both to eliminate errors, and insure that the patient get's the best quality of care at a "Somewhat" affordable rate. We will yet see what the health care reform does with the wonderful tool we call diagnostic medical ultrasound. Here is an excerpt and the link.
As a result, many leading hospitals, such as Christiana Care, are using ultrasound guidance to insert central venous lines, since the technique has been shown in several studies to greatly reduce rates of this complication—or even to prevent it entirely—compared to inserting the central catheter needle "blindly."
Ultrasound at the bedside can also improve diagnostic accuracy and is increasingly used in ERs for the FAST (focused assessment with sonography for trauma) exam, a test to rapidly check trauma patients (such as car crash victims) for signs of internal bleeding.
Because ultrasound imaging doesn't expose patients to ionizing radiation, it's now the preferred diagnostic test for appendicitis in children, as well as checking people of all ages for kidney stones, adds Dr. Sierzenski.
Thank You Lisa Colier Cool and Yahoohttp://health.yahoo.net/experts/dayinhealth/most-common-and-dangerous-medical-mistake

MOVIE REVIEWS & QUICK Q's
MOVIE REVIEWS & QUICK Q's
Movie Clip Discussions
Are you looking for movie clips that will stimulate discussion or illustrate a given point? Well take notes, sit back, and enjoy Jonathan's movie clip page.
When the Game Stands Tall
(Tristar, 2014)
Main Point:
It's easy to doubt God and His goodness when we are suffering. But during those times, we must remind ourselves that God cares for us deeply even if we can't see His hand at work.
The Movie Clip:
When the Game Stands Tall
was a great film released in 2014 that chronicled De La Salle High School in Concord, CA, the nationally renowned high school football team that won a record-setting 151 consecutive games from 1992 to 2003. It starred Jim Caviezel (The Passion of the Christ) and Laura Dern (Jurassic Park) as Coach Ladouceur and his wife, respectively.
The movie focuses on the lives of the players and the challenges they face on the field after losing their first game in over a decade as well as the challenges they face in real life. In fact, the subject of this clip is one of the off-field challenges, and a grim one at that.
The movie was rated PG by the MPAA and contains nothing of questionable content.
Introducing the Video Clip:
I want to show you a quick scene from a movie entitled
When the Game Stands Tall,
a dramatic documentary about a real-life high school football team in Northern California who went undefeated in 151 straight games. Those guys and their coaches were the stuff of legend! But to win that many games means you have to face some tough obstacles on the field, and that's not even counting the obstacles OFF the field! In this clip, Coach Ladouceur, AKA "Coach Lad," goes to visit one of his former players, Cameron Colvin who goes by Cam. He finds that Cam's mom isn't doing well, and is, in fact, dying. Cam is broken up by the news and outlines to his former coach all of the troubles he's facing in life. Listen to what he has to say about God and what his loving coach reminds him of.
Scene Script:
(The clip shows the visit Coach Lad pays to Cam's house to check up on him. Cam was one of Coach Lad's players, and the young man was struggling with all the setbacks in his life. The clip is full of dialogue and too long to record here. The scenes also shift from the parking lot of Cam's building, to a discussion with Cam's little brother, to the room in which Cam's mom lay dying, to a room where Coach Lad talks with Cam. The key dialogue takes place between Coach Lad and Cam.)
Transitional Statement:
Some of us have been in Cam's cleats haven't we? Some of us are in them now. The rest of you will be there one day, it's a guarantee from the Universe. So how do you handle those trying times in life? Are you like Cam and you begin to have doubts about God and His goodness? Are you a little stronger than Him, maybe? Perhaps you are weaker? During our time together, I want us to look at another story – this one from the Bible – about a very trying time in life to see what we can learn from those who have doubted and suffered and questioned before us. In the end, what I hope you'll see is that God is caring for us and loves us even when we can't see Him or His actions.
Divide into Small Groups:
Let's go ahead and split up into our discussion groups, and then afterward we'll come back together for a final word.
for a quick training article on how to maximize your small groups using our small group format—a great resource to equip your small group leaders.
Discussion Questions:
AROUND THE CIRCLE: As we get started, let's all take a second to share our names and which football team is our favorite.
ASK A FEW: What were some of the reasons why Cam was doubting God in the clip?
ASK A FEW: What did Cam begin to think about God or believe about God as a result of those struggles?
ASK A FEW: What would you have thought about God in that situation?
ASK A FEW: The most frequent time we doubt God's existence and His goodness is when we suffer or face setbacks in life. Why is that? Why do we do that then?
ASK A FEW: How do you think God feels about YOU during the times you suffer or feel alone or scared? How do you know?
Read the following passage:
John 11:1-15 (NIV)
Now a man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. 2 This Mary, whose brother Lazarus now lay sick, was the same one who poured perfume on the Lord and wiped his feet with her hair. 3 So the sisters sent word to Jesus, "Lord, the one you love is sick." 4 When he heard this, Jesus said, "This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God's glory so that God's Son may be glorified through it." 5 Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. 6 Yet when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days. 7 Then he said to his disciples, "Let us go back to Judea." 8 "But Rabbi," they said, "a short while ago the Jews tried to stone you, and yet you are going back there?" 9 Jesus answered, "Are there not twelve hours of daylight? A man who walks by day will not stumble, for he sees by this world's light. 10 It is when he walks by night that he stumbles, for he has no light." 11 After he had said this, he went on to tell them, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going there to wake him up." 12 His disciples replied, "Lord, if he sleeps, he will get better." 13 Jesus had been speaking of his death, but his disciples thought he meant natural sleep. 14 So then he told them plainly, "Lazarus is dead, 15 and for your sake I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him."
ASK A FEW: How do you think Mary and Martha felt about Jesus in that moment? They asked Him to come and heal their brother…and He didn't?
ASK A FEW: What did Cam have in common with Mary and Martha?
ASK A FEW: What reason does Jesus say all of this is happening for?
(Leaders – If the students need a hint, direct them to verse 4 or verse 15. Jesus is up to something…even if no one else can see it.)
ASK A FEW: What do you think most people assume about Jesus based on this passage? Why?
ASK A FEW: Based on this passage, how did Jesus feel about Lazarus?
(Leaders – We know for a fact that Jesus loved Lazarus [verses 3 and 5] and Jesus and Lazarus are referred to as "friends" [verse 11]).
Read the following passage:
Context: We're skipping a little bit of the story to save time, but just know in verses 16-37, Jesus and His disciples eventually go to Bethany where Lazarus and his sisters lived. Jesus met with each of the sisters Mary and Martha one on one, and in His discussion with them, declares Himself to be "the resurrection and the life." That's a monumental claim; let's see how Jesus backs it up.
John 11:38-45 (NIV)
Jesus, once more deeply moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance. 39 "Take away the stone," he said. "But, Lord," said Martha, the sister of the dead man, "by this time there is a bad odor, for he has been there four days." 40 Then Jesus said, "Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?" 41 So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, "Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me." 43 When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!" 44 The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face. Jesus said to them, "Take off the grave clothes and let him go." 45 Therefore many of the Jews who had come to visit Mary, and had seen what Jesus did, put their faith in him.
ASK A FEW: When you read how this story ends, what do you think about Jesus? Did the ending of the story make you change your opinion of Him? If so, how?
ASK A FEW: Earlier, Jesus had said that Lazarus' death was going to bring glory to God. How did that happen in this passage?
ASK A FEW: According to verse 45, many of the people in the village and surrounding area put their trust in God because of what Jesus did. How does it make you feel about God that He can use even our awful experiences and troubling times to bring glory to Himself?
AROUND THE CIRCLE: What did you learn during our discussion that will help you face your next difficult and tumultuous moment in life?
AROUND THE CIRCLE: How can you help others who are experiencing a tough time right now?
Wrap Up:
In the clip we saw from
When the Game Stands Tall,
it was easy for some of us to understand why Cam was struggling with his belief in God. His mother was dying, his family was being broken apart, and he felt all alone. It must have been a very trying time for him! Consequently, he called into question all he'd been taught about God.
Coach Lad tried to encourage him, but the questions remained. Where was God? What was He up to? Why didn't He do something to change the events in Cam's life? And why was all this happening to him?
Those same questions were probably on the minds and hearts of Mary and Martha when they lost their brother Lazarus. The two sisters had asked Jesus to come and heal their brother. He didn't. Lazarus died and Jesus stayed put where He was. The sisters must have felt betrayed and abandoned.
But we're told on multiple occasions in this story that Jesus loved that family and considered them His friends. We're also told that Jesus had the power to change their situation and He used that power to bring glory to His Father by raising Lazarus from the dead.
That's what I want you guys to remember when you face tough times: you're never alone, God loves you, and He's working on your behalf…even if you don't see His hand at work.
Listen, life can be difficult at times. We face obstacles, people hurt us, and we get knocked down. But we're NEVER out of the sight of God, nor are we out of the confines of His love. He has called us "friends" and He is working on our behalf even if we may not see it. Think about it like this: why would Jesus die on the cross for you just to leave you alone and let you waste away in misery and isolation? He wouldn't! He's already paid the most extravagant price for you; He will never leave you!
I hope those words are encouraging to you. I hope you believe them because they are true. We're going to close in prayer in a moment, but before we do, let me invite anyone here who's facing a tough time to come and speak with myself or one of our adult leaders afterwards. If you're facing a really tough time with school, parents, friends, a mistake in your past, or anything else, we'd love to talk with you about where God is in your life. Because even if you don't see Him, He's there.
Close in Prayer

America's forests are thought to be a significant sink for atmospheric carbon. Currently, the rate of sequestration by forests on the continent has been estimated at 0.23 petagrams of carbon per year, though the uncertainty about this estimate is nearly 50%. This offsets about 13% of the fossil fuel emissions from the continent [Pacala et al., 2007].… (More)

Accurate masking of cloud and cloud shadow is a prerequisite for reliable mapping of land surface attributes. Cloud contamination is particularly a problem for land cover change analysis, because unflagged clouds may be mapped as false changes, and the level of such false changes can be comparable to or many times more than that of actual changes, even for… (More)

adapted from the screenplay by Milton Subotsky Dr Terror's House of Horrors
Pan, London, 1965
The blurb on the back:
Werewolf, Vampire, Malignant Vine, Voodoo God, Disembodied Hand... The production company Amicus specialized in anthology horror movies (see also Tales From the Crypt), in which a group of stories were loosely linked together. This was the first of them, and the link here was the great Peter Cushing as Dr Schreck appearing to five passengers on a British train and telling them their fortunes. (Schreck, incidentally, is the German for 'terror', hence the somewhat clumsy title of the film.) The movie used to be a stalwart of late-night TV schedules, but doesn't seem to have been around for a while. Worth catching if you get the chance though, 'cos it's dead good fun. Particularly fine is the segment referred to in the sleeve blurb as 'Malignant Vine' - if I tell you that the victim of the evil plant is Alan 'Fluff' Freeman, you'll understand why I say this film's worth searching out. The book's not bad either. John Burke went on to write novelizations of Privilege and Till Death Us Do Part, and he was a neat little writer - not too flashy, but a good solid craftsman.

This has significant (uncooked!) alcohol content and is not appropriate for non-drinkers.
Servings: 16 - 20
- For the cake
- One 18.5-ounce package yellow cake mix
- 8 ounces vanilla pudding mix
- 1/2 cup whole or low-fat milk
- 1/2 cup corn oil
- 1 cup Irish whiskey
- 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup (4 ounces) coarsely chopped black walnuts
- For the glaze
- 4 ounces (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup Irish whiskey
- 1 tablespoon water
For the cake: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Lightly grease a 10-inch tube pan, preferably nonstick, or bundt pan with nonstick cooking oil spray.
Combine the cake and pudding mixes in a small bowl.
Combine the milk, oil and whiskey in the bowl of a stand mixer or hand-held electric mixer; beat on low speed until mixed well. Add the dry ingredients and beat until smooth, then add the beaten eggs in several additions until well combined. Increase the speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes until slightly thickend. Turn off the motor and add the walnuts, stirring by hand. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 75 to 90 minutes, being careful not to let it get too brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool in the pan.
For the glaze: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the sugar, whiskey and water, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Pour one-third of the glaze over the hot cake in the pan. Let cool on the wire rack for 1 hour, then remove from the pan and invert so the cake is upside down on a plate; pour one-third of the glaze over the cooled cake, then cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 3 days. On the fourth day, unwrap the cake, invert onto a second plate and pour half of the remaining glaze over the cake; recover tightly with plastic wrap; this process allows the glaze to flavor the cake evenly. On the next day, repeat the process, using the remaining glaze.

Out4Immigration urges caution on any legal action for the repeal of DOMA based on immigration benefits. For some time now, we have been told by civil rights attorneys that suing the federal government based on immigration benefits is not the right strategy. With the recent announcements by the Obama Administration that DOMA is unconstitutional, we have consulted again with a few civil rights attorneys who have been working closely on this issue and they have continued to urge caution about filing lawsuits against DOMA in this manner. We have had recent successes in the immigration courts but filing a federal lawsuit might instead jeopardize the advancements that have been made.
Out4Immigration has actually been approached to join in the lawsuit by the same organization that is asking many of you to join as individuals. We have decided not to join the lawsuit because of the following reasons:
1) We do not have the resources or capability as an all-volunteer organization.
2) We trust the legal opinions of our civil rights attorneys who have been working with us for the past few years and provided important guidance.
For those who still want to join this lawsuit, we ask that you seek your own legal advice and make sure you understand the risks involved before proceeding.

Progressive Groups Want Obamacare Win To Stiffen Democrats' Spine In Supreme Court Fight
Huffington Post
Neil Sroka, communications director for the online progressive heavyweight Democracy for America, sounded a similar note. "A victory like this one should certainly remind Senate Democrats of the power that comes from sticking together, something that will be exceedingly important for the Gorsuch fight," Sroka said. Democracy for America's fellow digital activism outfit the Progressive Campaign Change Committee has asked those on its 1-million-person email list to bombard senators with calls demanding that Gorsuch be blocked. The mobilization has inspired thousands of calls to Capitol Hill, according to Kait Sweeney, PCCC's press secretary.
More…Democrats Are Stuck Between A Mob And Their Job
The Daily Caller
It's impossible to go two directions at once, let alone four, resulting in a party unable to satisfy any part of its base adequately. And now, those limbs are turning their ferocity back on the body. CREDO Action, a leftist activist group, went after Democratic leadership in the wake of the election for supposedly being "welcoming" to Trump. In reality, then-Sen. Harry Reid called Trump a "sexual predator who … fueled his campaign with bigotry and hate." Sen. Chuck Schumer said he's "incompetent," and Rep. Nancy Pelosi said he's assaulting America. Progressive group Democracy for America didn't care for Schumer's bravado, saying, "leaders from Chuck Schumer down need to stop playing footsie with Trump."
More…Schumer backs filibuster of Gorsuch
Progressive groups have fought hard for a Democratic filibuster of Gorsuch. Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), a liberal who made an early push for a filibuster, joined Democracy for America activists on a call Wednesday night, aimed at stoking opposition to Gorsuch.

NBC News
"When Democrats dither and bend over backwards to appear 'reasonable' in the ways only Washington can define it, they allow Republicans to enact their extremist right-wing agenda. Democrats need to do everything possible to stop Trump's extreme pick for the court, up to and including filibustering him," Charles Chamberlain, executive director of Democracy for America, said in a statement last week.

"Democrats need to do everything possible to stop Trump's extreme pick for the court, up to and including filibustering him." Chamberlain pointed to massive protests since Inauguration Day, intense confrontations with lawmakers at town halls, and calls jamming the congressional switchboards as evidence that the American people "won't accept procedural cop-outs and sorry excuses from their supposed allies in the U.S. Senate."

"Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, millions of American across the country — they're all out there desperately trying to protect the institutions of American democracy," he says. "I hope Obama can look at that and say, 'It's time I followed along.'" "We got into the weakest position in decades through Obama's attempt to live in a post-partisan world that doesn't exist," says Chamberlain, of DFA.

He has also received fundraising help from liberal blog Daily Kos, which has raised more than $1 million for the Ossoff campaign through small donations.

At 9 a.m. Thursday, representatives of progressive groups converge in the atrium of the Hart Senate Office Building. Once they're all through the metal detector, they put together boxes for the 225,000-odd signatures they've gathered from activists who want Manchin booted from Senate Democratic leadership. They include leaders of CREDO, WeWillReplaceYou.org, 350 Action and Democracy for America. They walk up the stairs, enter Schumer's office and begin singing the protest song "We're Gonna Rise Up" to Schumer staffers.
More…Major progressive group endorses well-funded Georgia House hopeful
The Hill
Democracy for America (DFA) is the latest major progressive group to throw its weight behind Jon Ossoff, a Democrat running for Georgia's open House seat. DFA touts Ossoff's experience as a congressional aide and work in the private sector. Ossoff, 30, is currently an investigative filmmaker and a former aide to Reps. John Lewis and Hank Johnson. "Electing Jon Ossoff isn't just an opportunity for Georgia to reject Donald Trump's hate-fueled agenda, it's a chance to send a progressive leader from a new generation to Congress to fight for racial justice and against rapidly growing income inequality," said DFA chairman Jim Dean. "No single race for political office is going to signal the success or failure of the multiracial, multigenerational resistance movement that has emerged in Georgia and across the country to stand up to Donald Trump, but the grassroots campaign Jon is running is showing Democrats exactly how we need to fight." DFA's support for Ossoff is the group's first congressional endorsement since the 2016 election. The group, which was founded in 2004 by former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean, endorsed Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in the Democratic presidential primary.
More…While Democrats Press Trump On Russia, Liberal Activists Target On One Of The Party's Own: Joe Manchin
Efforts like #WeWillReplaceYou and the campaign against Manchin have drawn criticism from Democrats who say that calls for oppositional purity are misguided and that if the party loses seats in red states, they may never get them back. But progressives involved in Thursday's demonstration argued that, despite the dual campaigns that played out on Capitol Hill, the progressive demands on Democrats won't impair or distract from the party's efforts to push Trump on stories like Russia. "It's being able to walk and chew gum at the same time," said Neil Sroka, a spokesman for one of the groups targeting Manchin, Democracy for America. "The way that we're going to resist Trump is by building a cohesive narrative about what this party is for and what it's against — that includes Russian interference in our elections, don't get me wrong," he said. "But any Democratic response has to begin with opposition to an agenda which is directly opposed to Democratic values."
More…Progressives target Sen. Joe Manchin, demand removal from Democratic leadership
Washington Times
Nearly a quarter-million progressives signed a petition, delivered to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Thursday morning, slamming Mr. Manchin, West Virginia Democrat, and arguing he no longer represents the values of the party. "The idea that Manchin is considered a Senate Democratic leader is both morally disturbing and politically toxic for a Democratic Party with millions in the street demanding its members stand united in opposing Trump's hateful and corrupt agenda," said Charles Chamberlain, executive director of the liberal PAC Democracy for America, one of the groups that organized the petition. "Joe Manchin has spent the last few months aiding and abetting the Trump administration, removing him from Democratic leadership should be a no brainer."
More…Democrat gets backup in hunt for Georgia's Sixth District
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A left-leaning super PAC founded by former presidential candidate Howard Dean endorsed Democrat Jon Ossoff on Friday in the race to replace Rep. Tom Price. Democracy for America said it made Ossoff its first congressional endorsement since the 2016 election because the April 18 special election is a way to show the power of the "rapidly growing grassroots resistance movement" battling Donald Trump. "No single race for political office is going to signal the success or failure of the multiracial, multi-generational resistance movement that has emerged in Georgia and across the country to stand up to Donald Trump," said Jim Dean, the chair of the organization. "But the grassroots campaign Jon is running is showing Democrats exactly how we need to fight."

Neil Sroka, spokesman for Democracy for America, applauded Ms. Warren's Thursday reversal of her earlier stance.
"It is proof of not just a lesson learned from Elizabeth Warren, but an important lesson for all Democrats in the Senate in how you listen and how you respond to the grass-roots resistance efforts," Mr. Sroka said.
"The contrast between what Joe Manchin is doing in the U.S. Senate and what Elizabeth Warren is doing could not be more clear," Mr. Sroka said. "You cannot lead a resistance by trying to cheerleader for a president who is pursuing numerous reckless policies."
More…Georgia Democrat Scores Another Major Liberal Endorsement
Roll Call
Georgia Democrat Jon Ossoff is picking up yet another endorsement from a national liberal group in the race for the state's 6th District. Democracy for America, a political action committee founded by former Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean, is backing Ossoff, according to a statement obtained first by Roll Call. It's the group's first congressional endorsement of the 2018 cycle. Ossoff, a former Hill aide, has received national attention from Democrats and liberal activists who see an opportunity to pick up a traditionally Republican seat in what is expected to be the first competitive congressional election of Donald Trump's presidency. "Electing Jon Ossoff isn't just an opportunity for Georgia to reject Donald Trump's hate-fueled agenda, it's a chance to send a progressive leader from a new generation to Congress to fight for racial justice and against rapidly growing income inequality," Jim Dean, chairman of Democracy for America, said in a statement.
More…Liberal groups want Manchin removed from Dem leadership
The Hill
Manchin, who hails from a state Trump won in November by more than 40 points, has angered progressive groups by voting for Trump's Cabinet nominees. On Wednesday, he added to the list of Trump nominees he has supported by joining the GOP and 15 other Democrats in voting to confirm Rep. Ryan Zinke (R-Mont.) as secretary of the Interior. One of the groups involved in the petition effort against Manchin, We Will Replace You, is threatening primary challenges to Democratic senators who have not committed to a full resistance of Trump's agenda. The groups, which include We Will Replace You, Democracy for America, CREDO Action, Other98 and 350 Action, have collected more than 225,000 signatures for the Manchin petition.
More…225,000 liberals sign petition to fire Manchin after he hugged it out with Trump
Washington Examier
As his own party drifts further to the left, Manchin has become an anathema to the liberal base. He criticizes "the hard core left," invites the editors of Breitbart into his own office, and voted to confirm a dozen of Trump's cabinet nominees. That's why an activist troupe headlined by 350.org and Democracy for America want to axe Manchin. Liberal opponents call Manchin "a conservative extremist" for bucking the party line, while conservative supporters think the senator is a tease for not leaving Democrats behind. But history is more likely to remember Manchin as a shrewd politician.

More…5 challenges for new DNC chairman Tom Perez
The Hill
Several Ellison backers have told The Hill they are unsure whether they can support Perez, highlighting the intraparty rift he must overcome. Sanders and grassroots progressive groups released less-than-enthusiastic statements about Perez after his win. Sanders's statement lectured Perez on how "the same-old, same-old is not working." The Vermont independent has also said he won't turn over his coveted donor list to the DNC. Meanwhile, Democracy For America, a group run by Jim Dean, a brother of Howard Dean, called Perez's victory "incredibly disappointing" and "another missed opportunity." Perez squashed a revolt in Atlanta by quickly moving to make Ellison his deputy chairman. It is up to Perez and Ellison to determine whether that is merely a symbolic position or whether Ellison will indeed be active in rebuilding the national party.
More…Liberal activists, new DNC chief face a Trump-era reckoning
Associated Press
But it was Ellison who tapped so much of that anti-Trump energy. Sanders released a statement congratulating Perez yet warned "it is imperative that Tom understands that the same-old, same-old is not working." Jim Dean, chair of Democracy for America, called Perez's election "incredibly disappointing" and said the "resistance will persist ... with or without the leadership of the Democratic National Committee." Dan Kantor, leader of the Working Families Party, said Democrats "missed an opportunity."
More…Democrats brace for backlash as they vote on new DNC chair
Washington Post
Dean shouted the last words, making a joke out of the infamous speech he gave after losing the 2004 Iowa caucuses. Asked about the remarks, spokesmen for Schumer and Ellison declined to comment. And in the hallway outside of the lunch, Dean's brother Jim, who led the progressive group Democracy for America, was offering green "Keith for DNC" shirts to anyone who walked by.

"The DNC has traditionally operated separate from groups like ours that organize millions of people," wrote in the the letter that was signed Progressive Change Campaign Committee, MoveOn.org, Democracy for America, 350 Action and Presente Action, in an implicit criticism of Perez. "If Keith Ellison was chair and proposed partnering on state-level voter registration activities and issue mobilization rallies, we would be eager to engage in that conversation."

Last weekend, New Hampshire Party chair Raymond Buckley bowed out and threw his support behind Minnesota congressman and Progressive Caucus chair Keith Ellison.

However, Krewson and Jones are both confident in the support they have received. Both of them have pages on their campaign websites filled with endorsements (you can see Jones' here and Krewson's here). Jones has attracted many progressives and progressive organizations to her campaign, like Mobilize Missouri, the Young Democrats, and NARAL Pro Choice Missouri. Even national progressive groups like Democracy for America and MoveOn.Org have come out in support of Jones' campaign. Many elected officials, including Sen. Jamilah Nasheed, have also backed her campaign.
More…Liberal activists warn party's lawmakers: Primaries are coming
Frustrated by the party's performance on Capitol Hill and emboldened by the mass protests against President Donald Trump, a coalition of progressive groups say they are open to supporting primary challengers next year against Democratic members of the House and Senate – even if many inside the party believe that intra-party races might ultimately only help the Republican Party gain more power. The organizations, many run by former members of Bernie Sanders' insurgent presidential campaign, say they haven't drafted a list of targets just yet. But they vow to recruit, fund and support intra-party challengers if Democratic lawmakers don't start doing more to oppose the new president and his congressional Republican allies. "Every single Democratic incumbent considering aiding and abetting the Trump administration needs to consider their jobs at high risk," said Charles Chamberlain, executive director of Democracy for America, a grassroots progressive advocacy group based in Vermont.

Neil Sroka, communications director for Democracy for America, a PAC that supported Sanders and has endorsed Ellison, observed that the candidates' support does not break down along such convenient lines.

The offshoot campaign from former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean's unsuccessful presidential bid in 2004 is backing a challenger to longtime Bolingbrook Mayor Roger Claar in the April 4 election. The former Dean for America committee is now Democracy for America, headed by Dean's brother, Jim. It's also backing candidates on the Berwyn United slate that is challenging incumbents in the Feb. 28 primary in that community.
More…Liberal group will put money in city races to fight Trump's policies in DC
Officials with Democracy for America, an advocacy group based in Vermont, say the two-year investment is an important part of resisting President Donald Trump's agenda, even if the positions themselves have little say in federal policy-making. "Municipal government and local leaders have a huge amount of power over our lives and neighborhoods," said Annie Weinberg, Democracy for America's electoral director. "And in this moment, American cities, and who governs them, is more urgent than ever." Democracy for America, a political action committee, was founded by Howard Dean, the liberal former presidential candidate who later went led the Democratic National Committee. It touts itself as an member-driven advocate for progressive politicians and ideas – frequently against the wishes of Democratic Party leadership.

St. Louis American
Tishaura O. Jones received two new national progressive endorsements for St. Louis mayor on Monday, February 20 – from MoveOn.org Political Action and Democracy for America. MoveOn endorsed her based on the votes of its St. Louis-based members, of which 66 percent voted to endorse Jones in the March 7 mayoral primary. MoveOn has more than 19,000 members in St. Louis. The organization also donated an initial $10,000 to her campaign and committed to doing a fundraising mailing to its 7 million-plus national membership, according to the Jones campaign.
