After dismissing the argument that President Obama was to blame for the sequester as "dumb" on Thursday´s MSNBC Daily Rundown, NBC political director Chuck Todd further mocked the notion on Friday´s program: "Republicans have been playing, well, an inside game, the inside the Beltway game, trying to build support for their position against the cuts and begging the media to say it´s Obama that started the sequester, not them." [Listen to the audio or watch the video after the jump] Earlier in the show, Todd gleefully touted: "The White House PR campaign meanwhile, has

CHICAGO — A federal appeals court won´t reconsider an earlier ruling that Illinois´ concealed carry ban is unconstitutional. A three-judge panel of the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals struck down Illinois´ ban in December and gave lawmakers until June 8 to legalize the concealed carry of firearms. Attorney General Lisa Madigan asked for all 10 judges to review the decision, saying it conflicted with decisions by other federal appellate courts and goes beyond what the U.S. Supreme Court has held. Illinois is the only state in the nation that still has a ban in place.

American government agencies – state, local, and federal -- made a record 13,753 requests to read emails or gather other information sent through Google’s Gmail and other services in 2012, more than half without warrants, according to statistics released by Google. The total number of users about whom government agencies wanted information also set a record at 31,072, up from 23,300 in 2011, the first year Google began reporting the data. The discrepancy comes because government agencies request information on multiple users or accounts at the same time. American government agencies – state, local,

The simple story — cops yawn when burly white vigilante stalks and kills unarmed African-American child for the "crime" of walking while black — shocked the conscience of much of the nation a year ago and touched off an explosion of indignant demagoguery. Trayvon Martin, 17, was walking through a Sanford, Fla., subdivision early on the evening of Feb. 26, 2012, headed from a convenience store to the home where he was staying with his father. Off-duty neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman, 28, was driving to the grocery store when he saw Martin and called police to report that

With the federal government poised to face billions of dollars in cuts, a key senator is calling on the White House to halt an administration effort to highlight more government spending. Sen. Tom Coburn, in a letter to the White House budget office, told officials to cancel a planned 100-city tour designed to showcase places where federal taxpayers’ money can be spent by localities. “If Washington is truly cutting spending on missions many consider vital, how can we at the same time promise and promote more financial assistance,

Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D., Fla.) said should sequestration go into effect, the entire legislative agenda including gun control would be delayed Friday on MSNBC: CHRIS JANSING: And I guess the other question is, if the sequester, you know, battle continues to go on, what it means for other things that need to get done. For example, today the president’s grass roots group is planning a national day of action with a protest outside of NRA offices, and I guess about a hundred other smaller events and rallies.

Is SenatorTed Cruz Our New McCarthy?

Last week, Texas Senator Ted Cruz’s prosecutorial style of questioning Chuck Hagel, President Obama’s nominee for Defense Secretary, came so close to innuendo that it raised eyebrows in Congress, even among his Republican colleagues. Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, called Cruz’s inquiry into Hagel’s past associations “out of bounds, quite frankly.” The Times reported that Senator John McCain, Republican of Arizona, rebuked Cruz for insinuating, without evidence, that Hagel may have collected speaking fees from North Korea. Some Democrats went so far as to liken Cruz,

NEW YORK- With its violent crimes, high unemployment, dwindling population and financial crisis, Detroit was named on Thursday as the most miserable city in the United States. It toppled Miami, which held the title last year, and surpassed Flint, Mich., Rockford and Chicago in Illinois, and Modesto, Calif., which rounded out the five most unhappy urban areas on the list. Rockford was ranked third due to its 11.2 percent unemployment rate, Forbes said. Forbes cited violent crime, high foreclosure rates and declining home prices as the reason it pushed Chicago into the fourth spot, along with

The number of double-digit hikes to health insurance premiums has fallen dramatically because of President Obama´s healthcare law, the Health and Human Services Department said Friday. The average increase in health insurance premiums has fallen significantly since the healthcare law — and its provisions allowing the health department to review certain rates — took effect in 2010. The agency said rate review has contributed to those declines. The average premium increase in 2012 was 30 percent lower than in 2010, according to a report

When people talk about Rupert Murdoch´s ambitions in the U.S. newspaper market, they´re usually talking about the Tribune Co´s Los Angeles Times and Chicago Tribune. But with the Boston Globe up for sale, there´s speculation Murdoch might make a play there, too.

President Obama´s "longest lasting legacy" will be helping to create a new group of Republican leaders, says Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas). Cruz, speaking at the Cuyahoga County GOP Lincoln Day dinner in Ohio on Thursday, made the comments while assessing why Republicans lost the 2012 presidential race. Cruz said Democrats controlled the perception of their party and the Republican Party. "You want to know what happened last election cycle? We didn´t win the argument for the American people," Cruz said Thursday night according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

President Obama said people won’t lose the right to vote if the Supreme Court strikes down a key provision of the Voting Rights Act. Speaking Thursday to “The Black Eagle” radio show on SiriusXM, Obama said listeners shouldn’t worry too much that discrimination against minority voters will increase. The Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments about Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act next week. “I know in the past some folks have worried that if the Supreme Court strikes down Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act, they´re going

Would that our bureaucrats had this kind of attitude. CNN: Sen. Rand Paul cut another six-figure check to the United States Treasury Wednesday, taking the money he said he didn´t need from his office´s budget to make a tiny dent in the nation´s massive federal debt. "We watch every purchase," Paul, a Republican from Kentucky, said at an event next to an oversized check for $600,000. "We watch what computers we buy, what paper we buy, the ink cartridges. We treat the money like it´s our money, or your money, and we look at every expenditure."

Thursday morning, Glenn Kessler, so-called “fact checker” for the Washington Post, gave three Pinocchios to Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL) for his claim in a chart that “Total Welfare Spending Equates To $168 Per Day For Every Household In Poverty.” What was wrong with the chart? As it turns out, nothing. But that didn’t stop hack Kessler from assigning Sessions to the liar category on the chart. Sessions based his chart on the fact that there are 80 welfare programs under the federal budget. He assigns to that list means-tested programs like Medicaid. “Medicaid is a federal program that is

BRUSSELS— Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and his NATO counterparts are considering leaving 8,000 to 12,000 troops in Afghanistan after 2014, but it was unclear how much of that force would be American, U.S. officials said Friday. A dispute flared, but was quickly dissipated at the NATO defense ministers gathering here to discuss the endgame of the 11-year-old war in Afghanistan. German Defense Minister Thomas de Maiziere told reporters that a post-2014 force of 8,000 to 10,000 American troops would remain in Afghanistan. Panetta denied that, saying the force of 8,000 to 12,000 would be international and

Earlier today, liberal Democrat Lanny Davis affirmed that the substance of Sen. Ted Cruz´ (R-TX) inquiry into Chuck Hagel´s undisclosed source of income derived from various speeches was "absolutely correct." He just quarreled with the way in which Cruz conducted his line of inquiry. So, in keeping with Lanny Davis´ assertion, I would like to give Sen. Cruz a lesson in the acceptable way for a Senator to behave. If you are Sen. Hillary Clinton, it is OK for you to tell a Four-Star General that he is a liar: "I think that the

President Obama is displaying a more emotional side of his personality as he works to sell his second-term agenda to the public. The Spock-like Obama criticized for being aloof has been ditched in favor of a president who tells personal anecdotes about his life, shares locked-away thoughts from his past and on several occasions has wiped away a tear or two in public. While Obama has more flexibility to be himself now because he doesn’t face reelection, the personal touches are also in tune with a White House effort to enact an agenda that includes gun control, immigration reform
