Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D) will sign a measure to award his state’s electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote, moving a country-wide coalition one step closer to circumventing the electoral college.

In an interview Sunday, Polis called the electoral college an “undemocratic relic” of the nation’s past, one he wants to see relegated to the dustbin of history.

“I’ve long supported electing the president by who gets the most votes,” Polis told The Hill. “It’s a way to move towards direct election of the president.”

JERUSALEM — Criticism of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his right-wing government has been heard from American Jews for a while now, but a simple 20-word tweet from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the largest American Israeli lobby, has sent shock waves through the political establishment here.

The tweet, which came late Friday, was a show of support for an earlier statement by another powerful group, the American Jewish Committee (AJC).

The AJC expressed concern about an agreement reached last week — encouraged by Netanyahu to strengthen his right-wing base for the April 9 general election — uniting three small parties, including a faction made up of followers of Meir Kahane, an ultranationalist American Israeli rabbi banned from Israeli politics for his racist opinions and assassinated in 1990.

Otzma Yehudit, or Jewish Power, is viewed by many as an offshoot of Kahane’s Kach party, which the State Department designated a terrorist organization. Members of Otzma Yehudit, including Kahane’s former parliamentary aide and his former students, believe that most Arabs support terrorism. The party’s political platform includes plans for the mass transfer of the Arab population out of Israel.

“The views of Otzma Yehudit are reprehensible. They do not reflect the core values that are the very foundation of the State of Israel,” AJC wrote in its statement. “The party might conceivably gain enough votes to enter the next Knesset, and potentially even become part of the governing coalition.”

A Tennessee real estate developer said that President Donald Trump talked up his business project to a Qatari official at Mar-a-Lago just over a year after he contributed $1 million to Trump’s inauguration committee, the Daily Memphian reported.

Billionaire Franklin Haney, who is a member at Mar-a-Lago, said Trump brought an official of Qatar’s sovereign wealth fund over to his table in the restaurant of the golf resort in early 2018. Haney said the president introduced the men and praised Haney’s planned project to finish a nuclear power plant in Alabama, which needed billions of investment dollars, the news website reported last week.

“I know you’re working on this nuclear plant,” Trump said then, Haney recalled, according to the website. “They’ll loan money for nuclear plants.”

Haney provided his account of Trump’s Qatari ice-breaker in a series of interviews with the Institute for Public Service Reporting at the University of Memphis that was published by the Memphian last week.

LOL "a series of incidents"...ONE guy, who wasn't even motivated by white nationalism. He said he 'wanted to kill everyone".

Doesn't sound like an ideology to me. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

NEW YORK (AP) — President Donald Trump’s company says it has donated nearly $200,000 to the U.S. Treasury to make good on its promise to hand over profits from foreign governments using its properties.

The Trump Organization says the check for $191,538 represents profits from embassy parties, hotel stays and other foreign government spending at the Washington, D.C., hotel and other properties last year. The voluntary donation is up from $151,470 to cover his first year in office.

The donations have not allayed critics who say Trump is violating the emoluments clauses of the Constitution prohibiting presidents from accepting gifts or payments from foreign or domestic governments.

A director of the controversial data company Cambridge Analytica, who appeared with Arron Banks at the launch of the Leave.EU campaign, has been subpoenaed by the US investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government.

A spokesman for Brittany Kaiser, former business development director for Cambridge Analytica – which collapsed after the Observer revealed details of its misuse of Facebook data – confirmed that she had been subpoenaed by special counsel Robert Mueller, and was cooperating fully with his investigation.

He added that she was assisting other US congressional and legal investigations into the company’s activities and had voluntarily turned over documents and data.
