    Robert Menendez, a United States Senator, sought and received from Salomon Melgen approximately $300,000 for Majority PAC that was earmarked for the New Jersey Senate race, which benefitted Menendez, in return for Menendez’s advocacy at the highest levels of CMS and HHS on behalf of Melgen in his Medicare billing dispute. I know, conservatives do it too. I'm sure there's probably another thread about it.

    Kansas governor signs punitive welfare bill

    From the state that brought you legislation allowing for the arrest of teachers who use materials that the legislature doesn't like comes another gem from the Flat State With One Tree. Governor Sam Brownback signed into law a bill that, among other things, restricts withdrawals to $25 per day - making it useless for things like paying rent, and ensuring that banks rack up more usage fees and that less of the money is available for actual needs. Some of the provisions no one could argue with - like restricting use at tattoo parlors and on cruise ships (we probably wouldn't believe how many Kansas welfare recipients go on two-week Caribbean vacations) - but this accomplishe…

    By "possible" I mean there's a decent chance of running, and not just some backwoods rube living in the same Montana compound as mtangesfan, or comical candidates like Vermin Supreme. Who would you choose for presidency? My choice would be Bernie Sanders, and it isn't particularly close. Elizabeth Warren is a distant second.
