Trump and Koch

--- Sponsored Email --- Dear National Memo Reader: The billionaire Koch brothers, Donald Trump and assorted other GOP fat cats are pouring money into the Wisconsin recall election, as they keep pushing to roll back your rights. Only a major grassroots effort can stop them now. Please consider this important message from the Democratic Governors Association to learn what you can do. Sincerely, Harold Itzkowitz Associate Publisher on behalf of The National Memo Team Friend -- Breaking news: The Republican Governors Association raised $12.3 million this year -- and we just found out that the Koch brothers and Donald Trump are among their biggest donors. Trump and the Kochs are dropping $100,000 and $1 million gifts, which is paying for a lot of lie-filled TV ads in Wisconsin. Extremist billionaires will stop at nothing to save Scott Walker and protect the far-right agenda. There's just 44 days until the recall election. The polls are tied. We need you to join our effort now to show the pundits we're serious about fighting back against the RGA's lies. Click here to add your voice to our petition calling on Scott Walker and his allies to stop their smear campaign. . It's critical we make a stand in Wisconsin. Republicans are intent on suppressing Democratic voters, rolling back women's rights and attacking workers. We have to stop them in their tracks and take back Wisconsin. If we don't stem the tide, these radical policies will spread across the country, state-by-state. We have to send a message to Republicans that they can't trample on our rights and hold our states hostage. We need you to help us right now. Thanks, Kate Hansen Director of Campaigns Democratic Governors Association Paid for by DGA Action, Benjamin Metcalf, Treasurer, www.democraticgovernors.org, and not authorized by any candidate or candidate's agent or committee.

Monday's Daily Brief: HuffPost and Freakonomics, George Zimmerman Released, Walmart Probe

Monday, April 23, 2012 Arianna Huffington: HuffPost and Freakonomics: The Hidden Side of Everything Arianna Huffington: Our culture has a way of collectively falling into the groove of conventional wisdom, whether that means seeing everything through the outdated prism of left vs. right or willfully blinding ourselves to unpleasant or inconvenient facts. So, I'm delighted that today HuffPost Business is presenting a video collaboration (freakoration?) with Stephen Dubner, co-author of Freakonomics and Super Freakonomics. Dubner brings his trademark humor, willingness to challenge conventional wisdom, and passion for starting conversations to three very different topics, and in doing so, reinforces two very important truths. First, that the forces influencing our economic life manifest themselves in many unexpected and surprising ways. And second, that conventional wisdom is often dead wrong. BLACK VOICES George Zimmerman Released From Florida Jail POLITICS Huntsman Slams GOP: 'Is This The Best We Could Do?' WORLD China Seizes 77 Million Capsules In Crackdown Of Tainted Pills POLITICS ALEC Hit With Serious Accusation BUSINESS Mexican Vexation BLOG POSTS Marlo Thomas: What You Don't Know About Cancer -- Hope on the Horizon So this being Cancer Awareness Month, I thought it might make us all sleep a little better to ask some of the top cancer scientists in the country to tell us some things (or even one thing) that makes them optimistic about the ongoing battle with cancer. Anne Sinclair: The Beginning of the End The next two weeks will be violent. Nicolas Sarkozy likes a good brawl. And he'll surely enter the ring now that he has nothing to lose. Francois Hollande prefers to avoid conflict, but he'll have to put up a fight, especially against those who say that the chips are down. Leo W. Gerard: End the Delays Deadly to Workers Saturday is Workers' Memorial Day, a time devoted to commemorating those killed on the job. No one volunteers to sacrifice their life for corporate profit, yet every day in workplaces across this country, the lives of 12 workers are taken, not given. Michael Sandel: What Money Can't Buy: The Skyboxification of American Life At a time of rising inequality, the marketization of everything means that people of affluence and people of modest means lead increasingly separate lives. You might call it the skyboxification of American life. It's not good for democracy, nor is it a satisfying way to live. Edward Norton: Earth Day 2012: This Isn't About Tree-Hugging Anymore, It's About The Way We Live My parents' generation sacrificed care-free youth to carry the torch of civil rights and social equality. And now, I feel confident saying that my generation has accepted the environmental movement as our cause and that we are ready to rise to the challenge.

Walmart Hid Mexican Bribery Scandal

HOME POLITICS NATIONAL NEWS WORLD ECONOMY SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT Joe Conason Carl Hiaasen Connie Schultz E.J. Dionne Gene Lyons Jonathan Alter April 23, 2012 THE BIG STORY Sarkozy, Socialist Challenger Headed To French Presidential Runoff Francois Hollande, a mild-mannered French Socialist, is heading toward a presidential runoff election against conservative incumbent Nicolas Sarkozy in a vote that could alter Europe's political and economic landscape. Hollande heads into the May 6 second round with the upper hand after narrowly edging Sarkozy in the first round of France's voting Sunday, according to near-complete official results. Nearly one in five voters chose far-right candidate Marine Le Pen, handing her a solid third place with her anti-immigration platform that targets France's millions of Muslims. READ MORE FEATURED COLUMN: E.J. DIONNE How To Beat Citizens United We are about to have the worst presidential campaign money can buy. The Supreme Court's dreadful Citizens United decision and a somnolent Federal Election Commission will allow hundreds of millions of dollars from a small number of very wealthy people to inundate our airwaves with often vicious advertisements for which no candidate will be accountable. One would like to think that the court will eventually admit the folly of its 2010 ruling and reverse it. But we can't wait that long. READ MORE ANOTHER NEW LOW Report: Walmart Concealed Massive Bribery Scandal In Mexico Government officials declined on Sunday to comment on the allegations contained in a New York Times report, which said Wal-Mart Stores Inc. failed to notify law enforcement after its own investigators found evidence that company officials paid millions of dollars in bribes to spur the company's rapid expansion in Mexico. READ MORE FEATURED COLUMN: LEONARD PITTS JR. Snow White is Sooo Yesterday Sometimes, it seems as if every tabloid and magazine has a headline about some actress or personality and her crusade to find -- or keep -- a man. Either she has been dumped or he has cheated, or she is thinking of taking him back, or she is lonely without him, or she is struggling to conceive, or the wedding is off, or the wedding is back on, or she has found new love after the divorce, yadda, yadda and yadda. It is life as soap opera story arc or country music lyric. And here is the thing: you will almost never see a male celebrity as the object of one of those headlines. READ MORE TODAY IN STUPID Arizona Sheriff Joe Played Probe For Laughs An audio recording has surfaced of Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio playing his refusal to cooperate in a federal investigation for laughs. Taped at a fundraiser for an anti-illegal immigration group in Texas, Arpaio ridicules politicians who sought the probe and displays contempt toward federal authorities who are still investigating him on two fronts.
