Stephen Bannon and his team were in the “crack den.”   There was no floor covering. The walls were unpainted. The room on the sixth floor of Trump Tower where Bannon and strategists had holed up for election night looked more like a stripped-out warehouse than a Manhattan suite. ADVERTISEMENT The atmosphere in the room was far different from the Trump campaign’s election night party that was going on upstairs. About 20 people were crammed inside, sweating as they frantically typed into their handheld calculators and poured over the maps they’d pinned to the walls.  Click Here: Bape Kid 1st Camo Ape Head rompers Bannon and political director Bill Stepien…

An oil platform in the Gulf of Mexico caught fire at about 2:30am Thursday morning, according to the Associated Press, and Reuters reported that the fire was put out at 9:30am. While Coast Guard officer Travis Magee told AP that no pollution had been reported, the wire service also noted that Clean Gulf, an industry-run oil spill clean-up organization, had sent an emergency response team to the site. Four workers escaped the fire by jumping into the ocean and were rescued by a nearby supply vessel, AP wrote. There were no injuries reported. The Coast Guard says it is investigating the incident, and there is no word yet on what company owns the platform in question. UPI notes that “[o]nline…

Repealing the Affordable Care Act (ACA) without replacing it could cost 32 million people their health insurance, according to a new estimate from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released Tuesday. The CBO estimated that if Congress votes to repeal the ACA—also known as Obamacare—keeping insurance market reforms in place without implementing a new healthcare law, roughly 18 million people would lose their insurance within the first year, and premiums would rise by 20 to 25 percent for individual plans. By 2026, the report found, 32 million people would be out of insurance. Fewer than 2 million would be enrolled in the non-group market. SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The…

In an interview Friday with a Christian radio show, President Donald Trump backed his chief strategist Steve Bannon in calling the media “the opposition party.” “I think the media is the opposition party in many ways,” the president said on “The Brody File,” a program on the Christian Radio Network. “I’m not talking about everybody, but a big portion of the media, the dishonesty, total deceit, and deception. It makes them certainly partially the opposition party, absolutely.” “I say they treat me so unfairly it’s hard to believe that I won,” Trump told host David Brody. “But the fortunate thing about me is I have a big voice. I have…

The Trump administration is considering eradicating the enforcement arm of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), reported Inside EPA late Wednesday. The administration is deciding whether to shutter the Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance (OECA) and force individual program offices to take over all enforcement duties, a “source familiar with the plan” told Inside EPA. “Closing the office would almost certainly mean less enforcement work happens at the agency,” explained the Huffington Post: The plan to shutter the OECA is similar to Scott Pruitt’s 2011 efforts to close his agency’s environmental enforcement office during his tenure as Oklahoma attorney general, observers note. Pruitt, who is President Donald Trump’s nominee to head…

President Donald Trump, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) on Friday will tout school vouchers under the guise of providing “choice” to students—even as more research emerges that vouchers are no way to help children. Trump is visiting the St. Andrew Catholic School in Orlando to promote his $20 billion proposal, which would use public education dollars to fund private schools, including religious ones—a tenet of the program that many say is unconstitutional. DeVos in particular is a strong proponent of voucher systems. Protesters gathered early along his motorcade route Friday, including many members of Florida teachers’ unions. One woman held signs that read “Build schools, not…

Ross Brawn believes that asphalt run-off areas currently remain a better solution than gravel traps to deal with track limit abuses. Last weekend’s Russian Grand Prix was marked by several incidents at Sochi’s now infamous Turn 2 where McLaren’s Carlos Sainz crashed on the opening lap of the race. Daniel Ricciardo and Romain Grosjean were also victims of the challenging Turn 2 section that drivers denounced after Sunday’s race, urging changes to the corner’s design in the future. ©RedBull “There were some contentious parts of the circuit this weekend, and I know the FIA are very objective and constructive in how they view these things? ” Brawn commented in his…
