New: Jasmine Crockett was offering government relations & lobbying services on a campaign-funded website. It was taken down after Zeteo reached out. Experts say they’d never seen something like this before. Rules bar members from lobbying and from using campaign funds for non-campaign purposes.

Cop is subject of community complaints (including for punching a driver in the face during a traffic stop). Local newsroom files a public records request about him. Eugene, Ore says sure thing, that’ll cost $2.5 million and take at least 44,000 hours to complete. My latest for @theintercept.com:

Michael Tracey is actively attempting to dox Jane Doe in the Cornell 7 rape case
Michael Tracey : If you happen to know who this Cornell "Jane Doe" is, get in touch and I would be happy to publish her name and identifying information. And yes -- this is 100% permitted under the First Amendment, whatever threats or emotional blackmail people might want to deploy"Report" me for what, exactly? Save your breath, scumbag. Sorry you hate the First Amendment so much. Her identity is obviously newsworthy at this point, and I will take extreme pleasure in reporting it. (Not "doxing" -- that's a total canard)

When FDR took office during the Great Depression, he wanted to include a national health insurance program in the Social Security Act of 1935. Corporate leaders and the AMA threatened to derail the entire Social Security Act if healthcare was included. FDR dropped the health insurance plan. /8
FDR signs the Social Security Act, Aug. 14, 1935. When FDR appointed the Committee on Economic Security (CES) in 1934 to draft the Social Security Act, the staff explicitly included a mandate for national health insurance. The corporate-medical alliance reacted with swift fury. The American Medical Association mobilized doctors nationwide to flood Congress with letters. At the same time, big business coalitions threatened to back lawsuits that would strike down the entire bill as unconstitutional. Roosevelt personally believed that national health insurance was a necessary leg of the social safety net. However, when forced to choose between passing a compromised bill or losing the entire New Deal welfare state, he chose survival. His decision was purely tactical, driven by cold, political pragmatism.
