Sen. Cory Booker gives a very clear answer when asked if New Hampshire should be the first-in-the-nation Democratic primary: “I want that tradition to continue. I think you all should be the first primary.”

“I want that tradition to continue. I think you all should be the first primary.”

At #IndyFest today, I asked Republican congressman @MarkAmodeiNV2 how he would grade the president. He gave Trump a ‘B.’ He also panned the idea of 50-year mortgages: “You gotta be s******* me.”

All three Nevada House Democrats have announced they will vote “no” on the funding deal to reopen the government that both their senators support. @RepSusieLee: “A promised vote in the Senate on health care will likely fail – that’s why congressional Republicans agreed to it.”


.@SenJackyRosen: "This bill only goes ’til Jan. 30, so if they don’t do what they say they’re going to do, we can hold their feet to the fire." @CortezMasto: "We were never going to get a guarantee. ... What we were going to get, though, was a vote." thenevadaindependent.com/article/nevada…

Trump with gushing endorsement of NV gov, complete with random caps and the usual Trumpian adjectives. NV gov says enthusiastic thank you. I guess no more needle-threading with Trump by Lombardo and the Dem Party attack release coming in 3-2-1... #WeMatter

Thank you, @realDonaldTrump for your endorsement and for your leadership! I look forward to continuing my work to advance our conservative agenda and keep Nevada red! 🇺🇸

This is awful. National Journal is an institution in DC political coverage. Wishing Casey and others who lost their jobs the best of luck.

Some personal news (the bad kind): After 50 years of scoops and insightful reporting, National Journal is scrapping much of its Congress coverage, so several reporters and myself have been let go. If you've got any leads on a Capitol Hill reporting position, feel free to drop me…
