Reminder that Erik Prince’s sister is Betsy DeVos, current Secretary of Education: Erik Prince Recruits Ex-Spies to Help Infiltrate Liberal Groups | Mr. Prince, a contractor close to the Trump administration, contacted veteran spies for operations by Project Veritas, the conservative group known for conducting stings on news organizations and other groups. | One of the former spies, an ex-MI6 officer named Richard Seddon, helped run a 2017 operation to copy files and record conversations in a Michigan office of the American Federation of Teachers, one of the largest teachers’ unions in the nation. Mr. Seddon directed an undercover operative to secretly tape the union’s local leaders and try to gather information that could be made public to damage the organization, documents show. Using a different alias the next year, the same undercover operative infiltrated the congressional campaign of Abigail Spanberger, then a former C.I.A. officer who went on to win an important House seat in Virginia as a Democrat. The campaign discovered the operative and fired her. Both operations were run by Project Veritas, a conservative group that has gained attention using hidden cameras and microphones for sting operations on news organizations, Democratic politicians and liberal advocacy groups. Mr. Seddon’s role in the teachers’ union operation — detailed in internal Project Veritas emails that have emerged from the discovery process of a court battle between the group and the union — has not previously been reported, nor has Mr. Prince’s role in recruiting Mr. Seddon for the group’s activities. | Mr. Prince invited Project Veritas operatives — including Mr. O’Keefe — to his family’s Wyoming ranch for training in 2017, The Intercept reported last year. Mr. O’Keefe and others shared social media photos of taking target practice with guns at the ranch, including one post from Mr. O’Keefe saying that with the training, Project Veritas will be “the next great intelligence agency.” Mr. Prince had hired a former MI6 officer to help train the Project Veritas operatives, The Intercept wrote, but it did not identify the officer. Mr. Seddon regularly updated Mr. O’Keefe about the operation against the Michigan teachers’ union, according to internal Project Veritas emails, where the language of the group’s leaders is marbled with spy jargon. They used a code name — LibertyU — for their operative inside the organization, Marisa Jorge, who graduated from Liberty University in Virginia, one of the nation’s largest Christian colleges. Mr. Seddon wrote that Ms. Jorge “copied a great many documents from the file room,” and Mr. O’Keefe bragged that the group would be able to get “a ton more access agents inside the educational establishment.”

Not because Bernie did one rally with her in a college town....: In Michigan -- must win for Sanders -- he sounded miffed about Gov.

20 bills that died in the Oregon Legislature after Republicans walked out | Republicans walked out to accomplish one thing: to kill Democrats’ carbon-capping climate bill. Mission accomplished, at least for now. It’s dead. Here are 20 other bills that got traction but died because Republicans stopped all legislative action. >> A trio of bills to enact an unprecedented effort to restore forest health and quadruple the number of acres subjected to thinning and controlled burns: Senate Bill 1514, Senate Bill 1516 and Senate Bill 1536. >> A bipartisan bill to provide $45 million to open homeless shelters and to allow them to be located regardless of zoning, planning and design rules. House Bill 4001 would also have given Eugene and Salem $5 million each, Bend and Medford $2.5 million and McMinnville $1.5 million to open super-shelters that would offer not only shelter but also connections to health care, public assistance, social services and other community supports. Cities and counties would have gotten a share of $27 million in one-time help to create or operate shelters with low barriers for entry. >> A bill granting independence to the state’s government transparency expert, who currently answers to the governor. The Senate passed Senate Bill 1506 unanimously before the Republican House boycott killed it. >> Senate Bill 1552 would have greatly expanded community mental health treatment. >> House Bill 4010, which would have trimmed a capital gains tax break for wealthy investors and required legislative economists to study its potential impacts on future state revenue since no one in the state has quantified the likely impact. >> A bill to clarify Oregon’s new $1 billion-a-year business tax for education and lessen its impact on agricultural producers, House Bill 4009. >> A bill to require most businesses and state and local government agencies to accept cash. House Bill 4107 contained a bipartisan-backed prohibition on discrimination based on culturally associated hairstyles. >> A bill requiring out-of-state facilities to meet Oregon’s standards before an Oregon foster child could be sent to live there, Senate Bill 1566. >> A bill to begin state regulation of the drug kratom and ban sales to minors under 21, House Bill 4013. >> A bill that would require schools to offer free breakfast to more than 100,000 additional children, Senate Bill 1520. >> A requirement that guns be stored safely, House Bill 4005. >> A bill to permanently increase the state’s tourism lodging tax, with the implicit understanding that millions from the tax would go to help put on the Eugene 2021 world track championships, House Bill 4047. >> A bill to delay 2006 voter approved campaign contribution limits until at least July 2021 and create a task force to recommend new contribution limits, House Bill 4124. >> A bill that would have provided $50 million to fast-track affordable housing, House Bill 5201. >> A bill that expands requirements for public officials in Oregon to disclose their financial conflicts of interest, House Bill 4123. >> A bill authorizing nearly $300 million in borrowing to help update and expand buildings on a half-dozen public university campuses, House Bill 5202. >> A bill that would have required the Department of Human Services to prioritize finalizing roughly 700 pending adoptions that have been delayed by paperwork. Since Oregon has approximately 7,000 children in foster care, that could result in a 10 percent reduction in the caseload. The state’s child welfare program is also one area where lawmakers wanted to direct a chunk of the nearly $500 million revenue windfall economists predicted in a November forecast. >> A bill capping how much patients could be charged for insulin, House Bill 4073.

Also, we already know young people had a historically low turnout for ST, most voted for Biden, not Sanders.
