American Bridge Files FOIA Requests Following New Findings on Scott Walker's WEDC

New reports from the Wisconsin State Journal and Milwaukee Journal Sentinel show that Scott Walker was aware of the approval of a loan from…

Inhofe trolls conservatives on highway bill punt

The House of Representatives took the easy way out last night on rebuilding infrastructure by succumbing to a short term, temporary fix to the highway bill. Democrats and Republicans, business groups and labor groups, cats and dogs all agree that a long-term highway bill is necessary to boost our economy and keep the travelling public safe. As Bridge Project explored in a recent report on Republican obstructionism on the highway bill, it’s Tea Party conservatives – doing the Koch brothers’ dirty work – who are forcing Congress to punt on a long-term bill. Sen. Jim Inhofe confirmed this yesterday when he said, “The problem with this bill is really more Republicans than Democrats.” Senator Inhofe isn’t the only Republican fed up with his party for blocking a long-term fix to fund infrastructure projects. Bridge Project’s highway bill report looked at other Republicans who desperately want their national party to stop standing in the way of infrastructure projects that will add jobs and boost our economy.

Seeing Double: Jeb Channels Brother on Discriminatory "Religious Freedom"

Jeb Bush is borrowing from his big brother's playbook again -- this time on same sex marriage. In an interview with "The Brody File" this weekend, Jeb said he doesn't believe in a constitutional right to marriage equality. He also doubled down on Indiana's discriminatory RFRA laws, arguing that businesses should be able to decline serving gay weddings. At the same time, George W. was giving a speech on the same topic at Southern Methodist University's graduation ceremony, sounding not so different from his little brother. Jeb has already been under fire for his failure to distance himself from W. on the disastrous Iraq War. With the brothers' parallel rhetoric on allowing for discrimination based on sexual orientation, we have to wonder -- are George and Jeb just siblings, or are they twins?

Courting the King: GOP Field Races to the Right in Iowa

The Republican 2016 field visited Iowa this weekend to court the king -- Steve King that is. The cantaloupe-conspiracy theorist, and right wing svengali of today's Republican Party, was in fine form -- jabbing Jeb Bush on immigration and comparing immigrants to Santa Ana's army.

Picking up where King left off were the GOP's White House aspirants. From Bobby Jindal's defense of discriminatory RFRA laws to Scott Walker touting his anti-worker agenda as a qualification for the presidency, the day was chock-full of red meat.

It's official, the race to the right is on.

Scott Walker deems his signature jobs program a massive failure.

When Scott Walker announced his signature job creation program, the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation, in 2011, he said he was "transforming" state government to align with "our most important mission: creating jobs." Fast forward through years of scandal and shady backroom deals between Walker and his cronies, and you get this:

Coincidence?

PolitiFact crunched the numbers and Scott Walker was out of state at least 44 percent of the last five months -- ignoring his day job to test the warm, inviting presidential waters. Meanwhile, Wisconsin is dead last in job creation in the Midwest and on pace for record layoffs under Walker. His in-state job approval is also plummeting, down eight to 41 percent.

Like Protege, like Mentor: Rubio and Bush are BOTH Running from their Miserable Records

It's not just Jeb Bush who is feeling the heat for his unprincipled positions this week. Marco Rubio backed up his mentor in a deja vu - inducing swing on whether he would have invaded Iraq in 2003. This is reminiscent of Rubio's immigration reform flip-flop and it's raising questions about his preparedness for the presidency. Rubio's panicked sprint from his own immigration bill continues to haunt him after he tied his political fate to the bill's success. Rubio and Bush -- protege and mentor -- can't hide from their past positions.

RNC Sticking With Its Signature Brand of Bigotry on RFRA.

Keeping with its narrow-minded ways, the Republican National Committee will vote to put its full support behind discriminatory 'religious freedom' laws today at its spring meeting. While the majority of Americans are against Indiana-style RFRA laws, the GOP continues to double down on its signature brand of bigotry. Back in April, 2016 contenders Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Bobby Jindal, Rick Santorum, Mike Huckabee, and Ben Carson all stood with Gov. Mike Pence.
