“…”The guys that know Trump best are the most worried,” a former Trump campaign official told Axios. “People are very, very worried. Because it’s Michael [effing] Cohen. Who knows what he’s done?”
Cohen has worked for Trump for a decade and has been linked to payments to women who have said they had affairs with Trump. Cohen is “a potential Rosetta stone to Trump’s final decade in private life,”
“People at the Trump Organization don’t even really know everything he does,” the source told Axios. “It’s all side deals and off-the-books stuff.”
“I’ll tell you who’s worried: the principal,” the source concluded.

Tonight’s episode Black-ish tackles marriage challenges.
Tracee Ellis Ross talks directing ‘Black-ish,’ Time’s Up and dancing in a Drake video
Tacee Ellis Ross, 45, steps behind the camera for Tuesday’s episode of ABC’s Black-ish (9 ET/PT), in which parents Bow (Ross) and Dre (Anthony Anderson) hit a rough patch in their marriage. The Golden Globe winner had a wide-ranging chat with USA TODAY about her first TV directing gig since UPN’s Girlfriends in 2008, the reported exit of Black-ish creator Kenya Barris and what it was like to dance in a Drake music video.

Breaking News: FMR First Lady Barbara Bush has passed away at age 92
https://twitter.com/ABC/status/986389400618717184
Be at peace, Mrs. Bush.
Lordy, Steve Kornackie said she was 82. The woman’s lived 92 years, is dead, and he knocks 10 years off her life.
And they all (especially CNN), seriously need to stop using that racist right-wing gossip hack and former Fox ‘news’ alumni, Kate Andersen Brower as anything of an ‘authority’ or ‘source’ for anything on First Ladies ..
So she cobbled together a very lame ‘book’ on First Ladies a couple of years ago …which she’s since made 2 more ‘books’ from – based entirely on gleaning stuff you and I see on the internet, a lot of unfounded gossip, skewed perspectives and personal biases etc…
And suddenly, she’s an ‘authority’..
She’s as hollow as she’s shallow, racist and dishonest..
I.CAN’T with the FOOLISHNESS.
NEVER FORGET
RIP
Rest in peace First Lady Barbara Bush.

Automatic voter registration expands its reach even further

It was only a matter of time before automatic voter registration reached another state, though I thought it’d take more than a week.
The news comes just five days after Maryland also adopted AVR. New Jersey and Maryland join (in alphabetical order) Alaska, California, Colorado, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, and West Virginia.

Sharing…
A couple of days ago I was listening to a podcast by a blogger I’ve known for a long time. His podcast was about black men and police. He’s from the Bay Area and interviewed a long time friend of his, also a black men, who has had the usual experiences but also credits a white cop for saving his life. There is an iconic picture associated with this story and it is heartbreaking. Fortunately, this young man’s story has a happy ending and he is doing well.
Take a very deep breath and look at this picture.

Espy and Hyde-Smith Running Even In Mississippi
April 17, 2018 at 12:07 pm EDT
A new Triumph Campaigns poll in Mississippi finds Mike Espy (D) and Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-MS) neck and neck in the special election to replace Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS), 33% to 33%. They are followed by Chris McDaniel (R) at 13% and Jason Shelton (D) at 6%.
The special election will not have party primaries and is likely to go to a runoff.
In head-to-head matchups, Hyde-Smith leads Espy, 42% to 36%, while Espy leads McDaniel, 43% to 24%.

Missouri lawmakers threatened with donor exodus unless they back governor accused of sexual assault
Gov. Greitens was indicted on felony invasion of privacy charges after he allegedly photographed a woman while she was naked and threatened to blackmail her.

State lawmakers in Missouri claim they’ve been threatened with a sharp decrease in donations unless they actively support embattled Gov. Eric Greitens (R), who has been charged with photographing a woman while she was naked and using the image to threaten her with blackmail.
Greitens has also been accused of assaulting the woman and coercing her into a sexual relationship. He was indicted on felony invasion of privacy charges related to the nude photo back in February.
“Lots of people, including me, have been threatened that, if we go against the governor, we will never get financial support from any of the major donors in [Missouri],” one unnamed legislator reportedly told local Missouri Scout, a private news service covering state politics. When Missouri Scout asked other lawmakers to weigh in on the claim, many told the news outlet the threats were allegedly “widespread.”

Republicans expected their tax plan to be popular by now (but it’s not)
04/17/18 09:20 AM
By Steve Benen
Pointing to nothing in particular, Donald Trump declared this morning, “So many people are seeing the benefits of the Tax Cut Bill. Everyone is talking, really nice to see!”
In reality, of course, everyone isn’t talking about the Republican tax plan, and there’s nothing especially “nice” about public attitudes on the subject. Perhaps someone should show the president the new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.

Sandy Hook Parents Hit Alex Jones With Defamation Lawsuits
The parents of two children who died in the Sandy Hook massacre have filed defamation lawsuits against Infowars founder Alex Jones over his false claims that the 2012 school shooting was was staged. Lawyers for the parents say Jones’ conspiracy theories—including the false assertion that the parents of dead children are “crisis actors”—have led to death threats against them. Neil Heslin, the father of a 6-year-old boy killed in the shooting, and Leonard Pozner and Veronique De La Rosa, who also lost their son, filed the suits late Monday, the Huffington Post reports. Each suit is seeking $1 million in damages. “Even after these folks had to experience this trauma, for the next five years they were tormented by Alex Jones with vicious lies about them,” said Mark Bankston, the lawyer handling the cases for the parents. “And these lies were meant to convince his audience that the Sandy Hook parents are frauds and have perpetrated a sinister lie on the American people.” Bankston is also involved in another defamation suit against Jones, representing a man whom he incorrectly identified as the Parkland school shooter.

Just over a hundred years before Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama, Charlotte L. Brown on April 17, 1863 refused to give up her seat on a horse drawn streetcar in San Francisco. Even though she had a ticket and declared she had a right to ride, the conductor ejected her. With her father’s support, she took the case to court.
