Right here in virginia, but it doesnt just stop there. If the sequester goes into effect, more than 2,000 College Students would lose their Financial Aid. Early education, like head start and early start, would be elimb flatted eliminated for nearly 1,000 children and 18,000 fewer virginiaans would get the skills they need to find a job. Across the country, these cuts will force federal prosecutors to close cases and potentially let criminals go. Air Traffic Controllers and Airport Security will see cutbacks and that could cause delays at airports across the country. Tens of thousands of parents will scramble to find childcare for their kids. Hundreds of thousands of americans will lose access to primary care and Preventive Care like flu vaccinations and cancer screelings, including more than 3,500 children right here in virginia.

The plan. The big question is which of these Court Rulings will win out . Will the d. C. Appeals court carry the day with its argument that the law that created obamacare denies subsidies to those living in states that refuse to set up their own Health Care Exchanges or will the Virginia Court prevail with its argument that the provision limiting subsidies to state exchanges was the legal equivalent of a typo.

What we are watching in todays court cases is the attack to the heart that critics have long hoped for. Jona

It happened yesterday we saw when democrats didnt show up to back to back votes to advance mnuchin and price to be treasury and hhs secretaries. It happened again today the environment and public works committee. Scott pruitt could be advancing. Now the republicans who are taking thaoe emergency measures are saying democrats maybe having some regrets about the way they wrote things up while they were in charge. When harry reid changed the rules of the senate to allow nominees to be confirmed for cabinet positions and judges and other positions with 51 votes, i think the democrats are now looking back saying, boy, that was a mistake. But theyve done it. Reporter the senator later said he still thinks, despite all the drama this week, that democrats will work with republicans on big ticket items like infrastructure in the next couple months. Sandra .

Last summer has muller was building his cases against flynn and manafort, dowd went to their lawyers and broached the idea of a pardon with them. Dowd has told people that he believes the case, particularly against flynn, is very flimsy. The president has long thought it was not a real case. And that theres no reason for these guys to plead as they should, you know that they did nothing wrong. Now, the question is, is that was dowd speaking for the president . People that know dowd find it hard to believe he would go out and freelance on something such as important as this subject. It raises the questions about whether the president was trying to i
