Youre used to seeing the republicans like this. Washington is about lobby, not parties so much. There are a bunch of provisions in that bill that i really do not like. We are moving backwards on wall street reform. Wall street has dominated the white house. This is really congress at its absolute worst. There are deep divisions. Had i been able to draft my own legislation and get it passed without any republican votes, i suspect it would be slightly different.

She is the architect of the Consumer Financial protection bur roerks a Watchdog Agency aimed at protecting consumers from shady practices in the wake of the financial crisis. So it makes sense that warren isnt about to stand by quietly while lawmakers try to give wall street another handout. Why in the world are you spending your time and your energy fighting for a provision written by citigroup lobbyists that would increase the chance of future

Deck this afternoon, the uproar over the senates report on cia interrogation tactics is starting to go global. Even china is weighing in. And warning the United States to correct its ways.

And north korea is joining the pileon. The governmentrun media is comparing the cias interrogation tactics to the killings of unarmed black men by police in ferguson, missouri, and here in new york city, and no, you no wrongdoing was found on the part of the officers as grand jury did not a indict them.
