Good piece from @PeterKauffmann taking down the myth of Ivanka and Jared as a moderating influence on Trump: www.nydailynews.com/opinion/jared-ivanka-not-moderating-trump-enabling-article-1.3024213 …

Devin Nunes steps aside from House intelligence committee's Russia inquiry

But this is the interesting part:

"Nunes, a member of Trump’s national security transition team and the head of the House intelligence committee, said that “leftwing activists” had filed ethics complaints against him, prompting his absence while he contests them.

"“Despite the baselessness of the charges, I believe it is in the best interests of the House intelligence committee and the Congress for me to have Representative Mike Conaway, with assistance from Representatives Trey Gowdy and Tom Rooney, temporarily take charge of the committee’s Russia investigation while the House ethics committee looks into this matter,” Nunes said in a statement."

Bastard left wing activists.

'Steps aside' is coded language.

Out of interest - another view on Xi's visit.

At Trump’s request, House may tweak health-care bill before recess

It seems that "an amendment providing for “high-risk pools” — a mechanism to subsidize pricier insurance coverage for the seriously ill — will be added to the health-care bill at a Rules Committee meeting Thursday."

Meanwhile, not that he is a major figure, but it's not good for GOP's or Trump's image on health care:

Extremely interesting reading on the OK Corral etc, Ginger.

Definitely new words. Or abbreviations.

I'm still struggling with vets (for me it's the animal kind), never mind "pub education". I envision kids sitting around tables, sipping alcohol free pints, and watching an educational video on the TV, then having a quiz.
