WASHINGTON – Five Republican senators have asked U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch to "immediately cease" using law enforcement resources to go after those who disagree with President Barack Obama on the causes of global warming.
"These actions provide disturbing confirmation that government officials at all levels are threatening to wield the sword of law enforcement to silence debate on climate change," Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas, Mike Lee of Utah, Jeff Sessions of Alabama, David Perdue of Georgia and David Vitter of Louisiana wrote to Lynch.
BOSTON – Records show that a campaign finance loophole Massachusetts Democrats have accused Republicans like Gov. Charlie Baker of exploiting has worked out pretty well for them, too.
The loophole issue has been a target of Boston Globe reports and at least one editorial detailing the Baker administration's role in "an elaborate scheme that shuffles money between federal and state committees in a way that sidesteps contribution limits and muddles the money trail."
