"Michigan AG Bill Schuette is a Republican, and in 99.92 percent of circumstances it seems unlikely he’d do anything that steps on the floppy toes of Rick Snyder’s clown shoes. However, Schuette is on everyone’s list of Guys Who Really Want To Be Governor. So there’s the possibility that Schuette sees that the emperor is wounded and thinks this might be a really good time to throw that spear. And Snyder sees that Schuette is aiming at him, and he’s ...

What you don't understand "we" is it isn't the party or "team" that is winning and losing over this it is the abject failure of an ideology.

Blood tests show cause for concern. One in 20 children under the age of 6 in Knox County had lead levels exceeding the state standard for public health intervention, a rate six times higher than the Illinois average, in 2014.

If the crisis engulfing Flint, Michigan, had occurred in one tragic swoop, had the hard-bitten city been hit with a Superstorm Sandy or a Hurricane Katrina, the president of the United States would not have taken two years to come and personally inspect the damage.
