An amusing account of frustrated House Republicans fishing for some bad Obamacare news from insurance executives who wouldn’t bite.
CNN’s S.E. Cupp tells Bill Nye that science guys are the new bullies.
California school board agrees that Holocaust denialism assignment was “horribly inappropriate.”
The Rialto Unified School District has now come forward to say that the class assignment in which 8th graders were supposed to argue whether the Holocaust was real or a vast hoax to make money was “horribly inappropriate.” As David Kurtz put it, no kidding.
But I’m not buying that we have the full story.
Sen. Kay Hagan (D-NC), one of the most vulnerable Democrats this cycle, chooses to go all in with a robust defense of Obamacare at today’s HHS confirmation hearing.

As I mentioned, we’re going to be doing a sign up drive for Prime soon. So in The Hive we’re discussing with Prime members what they like, don’t like, why they subscribed and resubscribed. This captures one thing I’m kind of proud of – part of a member’s comment from one of those discussions …
I had zero interest in the Hive before I signed up, just wasn’t all that interested and did not think I would have the time for it. It has become one of my favorite things about the site. It is astonishing how much better a discussion can be when the people participating are actually interested in the heart of a topic and have respect for differing opinions. We all know how fragile that is, having seen it first hand.
The Hive is our Prime discussion forum.
Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) calls Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI) “al Qaeda’s best friend in Congress.”
Amash is a fairly doctrinaire libertarian. So not surprisingly he’s very anti-NSA, anti-surveillance for a Republican. May or may not be your cup of tea. But perfectly legitimate positions. Amash is also Arab-American (of Christian Syrian and Palestinian extraction.) So it’s a slur on a couple different counts.
Just so wrong on so many levels.
