Republicans push for investigation of Supreme Court Justice Kagan on Affordable Care Act

Michele Bachmann is one of 49 House Republicans asking the House Judiciary Committee to investigate Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan s role in crafting a legal defense of President Obama s health care law, warning such work could bar her from participating in deciding legal challenges to the law when they reaches the court.

Pawlenty $1.4 million tax cut for top 0.1%. Nothing for four in ten taxpayers.

On Wednesday, I wrote about Tim Pawlenty's absurd new tax cut proposal, saying it would cost $10.3 trillion when you include the cost of extending the Bush tax cuts. According to a new analysis, it turns out that was an underestimate. The actual cost of his tax cut plan would be roughly $11.6 trillion. And most amazingly of all:

GOP congressman doesn’t know why we have the oil subsidies he voted for

It's a real pattern now. Republicans voted unanimously to protect oil company subsidies earlier this year. But now that those oil companies are announcing record profits, these very same Republicans are refusing to publicly acknowledge that the reason why the subsidies are in place is because they voted for them.

WaPo factchecker: GOP lawmakers Medicare claim ‘stretched’

Take note, PolitiFact and Columbia Journalism Review. While their fact-checking focused on the semantics of the DCCC's ad saying the GOP intended to "end Medicare," with their budget plan, the Washington Post decided to actually fact check Republican claims about the plan.

Ask GOP reps from devastated areas if they still back Ryan’s budget that guts FEMA, NWS

I couldn't help but notice the GOP twitterati whipping out their instant and expected responses to the storms that devastated the southern tier. From Michele Bachmann to Sarah Palin to Newt Gingrich, GOPers were falling all over themselves offering their prayers for victims of the horrific weather events.

GOP schizophrenia on debt ceiling

One day after being named to a presidential task force to negotiate deficit reduction, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor fired off a stark warning to Democrats that the GOP will not grant their request for a debt limit increase without major spending cuts or budget process reforms.

At long last, Republicans have filed recall petitions against Democratic state Senators. They made three filings in total, against Jim Holperin, Dave Hansen, and Robert Wirch. In two weeks, it's possible that Republicans will submit recall petitions against Democratic state Senator Julie Lassa as well.

And so it begins. Emergency Financial Mgr. fires entire government of Benton Harbor, MI.

As you probably know, Michigan Governor Rick Snyder recently signed legislation passed by the Republican-dominated House and Senate that gives State-appointed Emergency Financial Managers (EFMs) historically broad and sweeping powers. These new powers allow the EFM to cancel or modify contracts (including with unions) and even to fire the municipality's government

How a ‘win’ portends potential losses for the GOP

There are some real alarm numbers for the GOP in these numbers, even if they now appear to point to a decidedly narrow re-election for Prosser. Start with the obvious points of alarm, which nonetheless deserve to be repeated. Prosser had a thirty-point lead over Kloppenburg after the primary, which was less than two months ago. Even if you make the presumption that Kloppenburg should get the lion's share of the other votes in the primary, Prosser still had a ten-point lead that dissipated in about seven weeks. This despite the fact it is a virtual certainty that Prosser and his advocates had the money edge over Kloppenburg and her allies.

Girlfriend of Wisconsin Republican state Senator gets state job, 36% raise

Wisconsin Republicans, from Scott Walker on down, have repeatedly justified their move to strip collective bargaining rights for state employees by claiming that the state is broke. However, this has not stopped them from giving a state job and a 36% raise to the 26-year-old girlfriend of Wisconsin state Senator Randy Hopper.

The New Robber Barons (h t Jeffrey Sachs)

"It's pretty clear there's an agenda nationwide: Republican governors backed by the Koch Brothers [and] extreme right wing money want to crush the unions," says Columbia Professor Jeffrey Sachs. "The public is against it, but public opinion doesn't count much in this country these days." (Editor's note: The Koch Brothers have denied our repeated requests for an interview.)
