That makes him one of the biggest spenders on travel among top congressional staffers.

If Congress follows Trump's directive to rename the Defense Department, it could cost taxpayers nearly $2B in new signage, letterheads, and digital code.
Imagine if we invested that money — and our bloated military budget as well — on the American people instead of the Pentagon.

Fox News is a conservative boosting political operation disguised as a cable news channel. Its fact based reporting exists to give the outlet access to areas that ideologically focused, opinion based outlets would never have.
I learned alot about the difference between a journalist and editorial from Julie Mason on Potus. The journalists job is the facts. She had Fox News reporters on because they reported facts and it pissed people off. There is no way Blueskyers would allow it here.
