In California's 25th Congressional District, Republican Mike Garcia will look to defeat Democrat Christy Smith in a special election and flip the seat, which was held by disgraced former Democrat Rep. Katie Hill. In Nebraska, Democrats will choose their candidate in the state's Second Congressional District to take on incumbent Rep. Don Bacon in November.

Sean Duffy - recently resigned as congressman of Wisconsin. close connection with Paul Ryan.
Duffy quit because his 9th child was born with a birth defect, they are dealing with that….both parents basically quit their jobs to spend time with their kids..
Ryan is a POS which moved his family to Virginia so his wife and children could be closer to her sister.
Do the math. Where is Ryan going to be???????

Trump's reading list: 11 books the president plugged in 2019
Before taking office, President Trump said he was too busy to read. And with the world's problems, from North Korea to Venezuela, in his inbox as well as the impeachment battle, it is difficult to see how he can find time to pick up any of the past year's tidal wave of new releases. Yet during the past 12 months, he managed to recommend 28 newly published books to his 68 million followers on Twitter. That is an average of more than a book every two weeks.
Whether he read them cover-to-cover or simply saw their authors on Fox News, here are 11 of the president's favorite books of the past year.
Game of Thorns by Doug Wead Subtitled "The Inside Story of Hillary Clinton's Failed Campaign and Donald Trump's Winning Strategy," this book won a bump in attention when its author appeared on Fox & Friends Jan. 24. Trump praised the 2017 book on the same day. Sample sentence: "Donald Trump should easily be ranked as one of America's great presidents."
Exonerated: The Failed Takedown of President Donald Trump by the Swamp by Dan Bongino Billed as an "explosive, whistle-blowing expose," this book is one of a number on the list that sets out to reveal the dark secrets of the "deep state" actors who set out to frame Trump in the Mueller report - a recurring genre in Trump's recommendations.
The Case for Trump by Victor Davis Hanson
"Victor Davis Hanson's new book, 'The Case for Trump,' chronicles the successes of America's 45th president as only the prolific Hoover Institution scholar could," according to the Heritage Foundation.
Our Lost Declaration by Mike Lee An important book, according to the Washington Examiner's Paul Bedard. "And not just because it lays out the founding rights, but because the Declaration is mostly a list of oppressions by the British government that look like a preview of today's deep state," he wrote.
Rebuilding Sergeant Peck by John Peck
Peck lost all his limbs in an IED attack in Iraq and was invited to the White House a week after his double arm transplant and uplifting story were featured on Fox News.
Sacred Duty by Tom Cotton
Another reminder that a book does not have to be about Trump to get a presidential seal of approval - although it helps if an ardent admirer writes it. This one mixes the story of the Arkansas senator's military service with that of the Old Guard, the ceremonial regiment that honors fallen soldiers.
Justice on Trial by Mollie Hemingway and Carrie Severino
Fresh details culled from hundreds of interviews with players in last year's confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh make this one of the few books on this list that won praise from both sides of the political divide.
Radicals, Resistance, and Revenge by Jeanine Pirro
In the second of her alliterative tomes (following last year's Liars, Leakers, and Liberals), the former judge and Fox TV personality picks her way through the "deep state" and the Mueller investigation. Sample sentence: "The White House stands alone like an ancient walled city with barbarians storming the gates, looking to annihilate the man the American people put in that house in 2016."
Paloma Wants to be Lady Freedom by Rachel Campos-Duffy
"Today we spend so much time talking about diversity and what makes us different that we're forgetting to tell our children stories about what unites us as Americans," runs the blurb to this children's tale set inside the U.S. Capitol. Campos-Duffy trod a familiar path to Trump, coming to prominence as a reality TV star in the 1990s on The Real World before eventually becoming a Fox News guest host, by way of The View. She has nine children with her husband Sean Duffy, the former Wisconsin congressman.
Resistance (At All Costs) by Kimberley Strassel
Another book making the case that it is Trump critics - not the president - who represent the real threat to American democracy through their overzealous efforts to drive him from office. "Thought provoking" or "a biased attack on Trump detractors," according to Amazon reviews.
Triggered by Donald Trump Jr.
Endorsements by the father in chief helped propel this first-time author to the top of the bestseller lists. Or possibly, it was the bulk buys by the Republican National Committee, which reportedly spent almost $100,000 on copies.

Carson on HUD eviction plan: 'You take care of your own first'
House lawmakers sparred Tuesday over a plan from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to remove thousands of immigrant families from federally subsidized homes.
In a heated hearing with HUD Secretary Ben Carson, Democratic members of the House Financial Services Committee blasted President Trump's housing chief for what they called an inhumane and ineffective proposal to evict undocumented immigrants from federal housing.
"The 'D' in HUD does not stand for 'deportation,' " said Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.). "We cannot create affordable housing for Americans by throwing other Americans out in the street with no place to go."
HUD announced in April it would tighten regulations barring immigrants in the country illegally from receiving federal housing benefits. While families with at least one member eligible for HUD programs are currently allowed to live in federally subsidized housing, Carson's proposal would evict all households led by undocumented immigrants.
HUD estimates that 32,000 federally subsidized households and 55,000 children would be subject to evictions under its proposal. That could force thousands of U.S.-born children of undocumented immigrants, along with legal permanent residents, refugees, and asylum-seekers, into homelessness.
"I hope and pray that you rethink that," said Rep. Juan Vargas (D-Calif.), adding that he couldn't believe "that this rule could come from you."
"I don't think you're mean-spirited at all," Vargas continued. "I have to say, taking these 55,000 children and putting them on the street is mean-spirited. I don't think it's your nature."
Carson and House Republicans insisted Tuesday that the evictions are necessary to comply with federal law and cut down a waiting list of more than 4 million U.S. citizens seeking HUD-subsidized housing.
"It's not that we're cruel, mean-hearted. It's that we are logical," Carson said. "This is common sense. You take care of your own first."
The secretary compared the eviction proposal to a flight crew advising airplane passengers to put on their own oxygen masks before helping others with theirs.
"It's the same concept," Carson added. "It seems only logical that tax-paying American citizens should be taken care of first."
Throughout his term as HUD chief, Carson has been criticized by Democrats for proposals to ease more Americans out of public housing, cut spending on development grants, and its handling of disaster relief funding.
HUD's eviction proposal launched a new wave of backlash from Democrats as the Trump administration and Republicans pushed forward with similar initiatives to cut other federal benefits for undocumented immigrants, including Medicaid and food stamps.
"I applaud you because as an American citizen, we should put Americans first," said Rep. Sean Duffy (R-Wis.) to Carson.

Big banks defend policies on gun manufacturers to Congress
April 10 (UPI) – Big banks defended their policies to lend – or not lend – to gun manufacturers during testimony Wednesday before the House financial services committee. Democrats on the panel praised the leaders of Bank of America and Citigroup – two of seven in attendance – for their decisions to stop loaning money to gun makers after a teenager used an assault-style rifle to kill 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla.
Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan told lawmakers his bank made the move because some 100 company employees had been present in multiple mass shootings in recent years. "These are based on us taking a look at what the right thing [is] for our teammates and the communities we serve," he said.
Republicans, though, criticized the policies. "There's a lot of Americans who you serve [that] would greatly disagree with that policy," Rep. Sean Duffy, R-Wis., said to Moynihan. "It might play well in the East Coast, it might play well in California, [but] your bank is not the Bank of New York or California, it's the Bank of America." Meanwhile, Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., vice chairwoman of the committee, questioned JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon on why is bank hadn't implemented similar policies. The bank has given hundreds of millions of dollars in loans to gun makers. The company also partially owns Remington Outdoor Co., after converting more than $775 million in debt into equity.
Dimon said JPMorgan Chase would possibly consider policies like those at Bank of America and Citigroup. "Everything we do with clients goes through a severe process of review, reputational risk, etc. We have a very small relationship with gun manufacturers," Dimon said. "There are over 100,000 retailers out there who sell guns. Every single one that we do business with we do a thorough review. And if we think they are doing something wrong our risk committee stops doing business with them.

U.S. lawmakers grill bank CEOs for the first time since financial crisis
(Reuters) - Chief executives of some of the largest U.S. banks appeared before Congress on Wednesday, giving lawmakers their first opportunity to grill the lenders since the 2007-2009 financial crisis.
Democratic lawmakers focused many of their questions on who the banks were doing business with, probing for answers about their Russian accounts and financing of gun manufacturers.
The tone, questions and players were distinctly different from a decade ago, when lawmakers focused on banks' ability to safeguard the financial system and avoid future bailouts. Among the CEOs on the panel, JPMorgan Chase & Co's Jamie Dimon was the only one who headed his bank before the financial crisis.
Still, bank executives got a few chances to flag hoped-for talking points like their positive contribution to the economy when Republican lawmakers quizzed them on more systemic issues.
Along with JPMorgan's Dimon, Bank of America Corp's Brian Moynihan, Citigroup Inc's Mike Corbat, Goldman Sachs Group Inc's David Solomon and Morgan Stanley's James Gorman all faced off against the House Financial Services Committee.
Ronald O'Hanley, CEO of State Street Corp, and Charles Scharf, CEO of Bank of New York Mellon Corp, the country's two largest custody banks, also appeared.
The hearing was led by Democratic Representative Maxine Waters and staffed with some high-profile freshman representatives like progressives including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
(progressives….OMG)
Waters' first question, directed at three of the bank CEOs, was whether they had found suspicious activity within their banks related to Russian accounts.
Citi's Corbat declined to comment, citing an ongoing investigation into the matter. The Bank of America and Morgan Stanley CEOs said they had conducted internal investigations and did not find any suspicious activity.
Questions largely focused less on systemic risks and more on social issues like how banks are addressing wealth inequality by adjusting overdraft fees in checking accounts, and whether banks are extending loans to businesses that need them.
Democratic Representative Carolyn Maloney pressed JPMorgan's Dimon to commit to a policy that would reduce the bank's financing of gun makers. Citi and Bank of America last year said they would no longer provide certain banking services to gun manufacturers.
Some Republican lawmakers criticized such policies on Wednesday, with Representative Bill Posey cautioning banks against withholding financing from legal business and Representative Sean Duffy accusing Bank of America of denying Americans their Second Amendment rights.
The bank executives' prepared remarks focused on arguing that Wall Street has reformed the practices that fueled the crisis and stressing the contribution banks make to the broader economy.
Dimon said that JPMorgan "will never lose sight of what we learned Still, the bank has taken steps that went a long way to preventing another crisis, Dimon argued.
(fuck you too buddy!)
Since the crisis, the country's largest banks have added more than $800 billion in capital to bolster the financial system.
In the months leading up to the hearing, the banks also made a string of announcements to show how they are helping customers and communities.
Bank of America said on Tuesday it would raise its minimum hourly wage to $20 from $15 by 2021.
Last month, JPMorgan said it would no longer finance the private prison industry and would invest $350 million in job training programs.

Goldman Sachs has publicly set targets for hiring women and minority groups, a move Citigroup also made late last year.
Wells Fargo & Co was not present at the hearing since former CEO Tim Sloan resigned abruptly last month, two weeks after appearing before the same committee.

CNN Channels 1960s Film For Tips on Denial
Posted on April 1, 2019
CNN has been on the defense recently because the network has been plagued by errors in its reporting on the Russia investigation.
Thursday on CNN's "Cuomo Primetime," Rep. Sean Duffy, a Republican member of the House Intelligence Committee, debated host Chris Cuomo about the network's coverage of the Mueller investigation. "You're the reporters," Duffy told Cuomo. "And as reporters, you have a job to make sure you're putting out the right facts. For two years you're putting out the wrong facts." "What wrong facts did we put out?" Cuomo asked. "That there was Russian collusion," Duffy said.

Rep. Sean Duffy Calls Out CNN's Chris Cuomo For Media Bias On Russia Collusion
Rep. Sean Duffy called out CNN's Chris Cuomo on Tuesday night for his network's role in promoting the Russian collusion conspiracy theory. Duffy noted that special counsel Robert Mueller spent two years investigating alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government and did not charge a single person for colluding. Duffy called the results "great news" for President Donald Trump and added that "it's time to celebrate."
The Wisconsin Republican turned his sights on the media, telling Cuomo, "We spent two years speculating." "What I think you want to know is, who duped us?" Duffy said. "You've been talking about this for over two years. You should say, who actually set this up?" "You guys are supposed to figure that out," Cuomo claimed.
"What you guys did is you reported on it," Duffy countered. "You took all these salacious reports, you know, of all of this scandal and for two years. And you've gotta say, analyze how we get our information ... I look at the American people and they go, 'Do I trust the media? Do I trust the Democrats who have been pounding this story that's absolutely false?'"
Cuomo blamed the president for Duffy's perception of the media, citing Trump's constant criticism of the press. "If the media was doing its job they would be far more skeptical," Duffy said. "You're the reporters and you have a job to make sure you're putting out the right facts. You put out the wrong facts." "What wrong facts did we put out?" Cuomo asked. CNN published several false stories related to Russian collusion over the past two years, including their debunked claim that Trump adviser Anthony Scaramucci was under investigation for alleged ties to Russia. Three CNN journalists resigned over the story.

Nikki Haley
South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley is something of a trailblazer. At the tender age of 44 years old, Haley has already managed to become not only the first female governor of the state of South Carolina, but also the first minority governor. And now President-elect Donald Trump has tapped her to become the United States Ambassador to the United Nations under his administration. The child of Indian immigrants, Nikki Haley changed her name from Nimrata Nikki Randhawa when she went in to politics.
Haley told The Charlotte Observer in 2010, when she became governor, that she dropped her maiden name simply because it "wouldn't fit on a yard sign," but not everyone is buying that. While the Republican Party has reportedly begun to embrace women and minorities in leadership roles as a way to broaden their voter pool, whether or not the GOP would have been welcoming of a woman with a Sikh heritage a few years ago is doubtful. And it's possible that Haley thought her Indian heritage might have been a tough pill to swallow for the Republicans as well; in 2001, Haley identified herself as "white" on a voter registration card, according to a report by the Associated Press.
Haley did convert to Christianity when she married her husband, National Guardsman Michael Haley (in an interesting twist, when Haley met her husband he was called by his first name, Bill, but she had him change to his middle name since "he didn't look like a Bill." Is she a secret name stylist?). The couple are raising their two children, Rena and Nalin, as Methodist, but Haley claims to attend services for both faiths.
Haley's appointment as the next United States ambassador to the United Nations has raised a few eyebrows despite her popularity within the Republican Party; first of all, she isn't known to have a great handle on foreign policy. Wisconsin Republican Sean Duffy told CNN he didn't think her lack of experience would be a big deal:
She's a smart woman. I don't think you need this great history of diplomatic experience to go in the UN and be successful. I think what you want to do is find people who will share your worldview especially when they go and represent you from the administration to the UN or any other post.
Haley and Trump have had a bit of a rocky history, with each of them throwing jabs at each other. Haley endorsed Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and said she "wasn't a fan" of Trump, while he famously Tweeted that the people of South Carolina were "embarrassed" by Haley. The two appear to have sorted through their differences for the sake of governing the country.
The real question is this: once Haley becomes the United States Ambassador to the United Nations, will she embrace her real name along with her heritage? She has credited her heritage with helping her see beyond racial differences in the past, and the United Nations is the perfect platform for her to openly embrace these differences.

Q Research General#293: Will the Memo be red_ct_d edition
>>240443
I believe it could be a threat against Sean Duffy (R from Wisconsin - McCarthy was from Wisconsin.) Duffy was on the train yesterday with his wife and 8 kids. With the mention of schools, this could also be a broad threat to all of the R's kids.

Q Research General #292: Release It Already Edition
>>239822
What stood out to me was a reference to a politician from Wisconsin and reference to schools. Sean Duffy is a Rep from Wisconsin, and was on the train yesterday with his wife and 8 kids. I could be way off base, but I read the tweet as a threat.

I did hear the FOX news fill- in, married to Sean Duffy, talking about having her 8 kids on the train. I detected her calling BS on it being an accident.

Q Research General #273 - Hammer Of Justice Edition
BOOM: BLOCKBUSTER UPDATE: IT IS NOW CONFIRMED THIS WAS AN ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT ON MEMBERS OF CONGRESS. ALL THE ROADS WERE SHUT DOWN AHEAD OF THE TRAIN, WHICH HAD HELICOPTER ESCORT. THERE'S NO WAY THE GARBAGE TRUCK COULD HAVE BEEN WHERE IT WAS, ABSENT AN OUTRIGHT ATTEMPT TO GET IT IN FRONT OF THE TRAIN.
Uh oh! "Choppers were following the train and the rail road crossings were supposed to be shut down for the senators to have priority per Rachel Campos Duffy, wife of Sean Duffy R-WI on Fox"
THIS IS NOW A CONFIRMED HIT ON REPUBLICAN SENATORS WHO VOTED TO RELEASE THE MEMO.
The photos of the accident scene are a little misleading, the train in fact hit the dump truck at the prior crossing, and carried it to the next crossing. the train did not just stop on a dime.
