Missouri GOPers are still trying to impeach Dem Gov. Jay Nixon

Nixon is potentially facing three charges, all put forward by Republicans.
One
is for an executive order Nixon released in 2013 that directed state
officials to accept joint tax returns from same-sex couples who are
married in other states. One charges that Nixon has been too slow in
calling special elections. The third says Nixon’s punishment for state
officials who released a database of permits for residents in the state
who carry concealed weapons was too lenient.
Nixon’s
administration has previously described the impeachment effort as a
“publicity stunt,” and observers say there’s little chance that any of
the articles of impeachment raised will actually make it to the floor
for a vote. Even if they were to somehow clear the House and the Senate,
however, Missouri law mandates that impeachment would have to be
approved by five of seven Senate-appointed judges.

Paul Ryan’s reverse-Robin Hood spending plan: Rob from the poor and give to the rich
Paul Ryan’s reverse-Robin Hood spending plan: Rob from the poor and give to the rich

Wisconsin Republican Paul Ryan, who authored the anti-Robin Hood spending plan, said the budget “comes down to a matter of trust.”
Trust, Ryan believes, should be placed in the rich and Washington
politicians like him, a Prince John man who devised a spending scam
enriching the rich and depriving the rest. Ryan asked, “Who knows better: the people or Washington?” The GOP answer: Washington, of course. A place purchased by the very, very rich.
Ryan’s
anti-Robin Hood spending plan takes health care from the poor and
elderly and gives tax breaks to the rich and super rich. Really.
Republicans voted to cut taxes for millionaires and billionaires from
39.6 percent to 25 percent. Nice, right? Except for Americans who depend
on Medicare, Medicaid and Obamacare.
Republicans voted to
voucherize Medicare, which would force senior citizens to pay thousands
of dollars more each year. Ryan and his fellow House Republicans voted
to kill Obamacare, which means the 7.1 million who got insurance on the
exchanges would lose it; the 3.1 million young people covered under
Obamacare’s extension of their parents’ plans would lose insurance, and
the 3 million who got insurance under Obamacare’s Medicaid expansion would lose it.
That’s
13 million without health insurance, in addition to low-income seniors
struggling to pay premiums as Ryan’s vouchers lose value. But, hey,
billionaires get a tax break!

Former President Jimmy Carter came out publicly against the Keystone
XL pipeline Wednesday, joining an international group of Nobel laureates
in urging President Obama to reject the project.
“You stand on
the brink of making a choice that will define your legacy on one of the
greatest challenges humanity has ever faced — climate change,” reads the
letter, which was addressed to President Obama and Secretary Kerry and which ran as an ad in Politico.
“You
know as well as we do the powerful precedent that this would set. This
leadership by example would usher in a new era where climate change and
pollution is given the urgent attention and focus it deserves in a world
where the climate crisis is already a daily struggle for so many.”
