Schiff and Newsom, the 2 from the Republican wing of the Democratic Party-by Anonymous OperativeA little birdy tells me that Senator Barbara Boxer will not be seeking re-election in 2016.

In the segment above, Rachel Maddow put into context Richard Burr's deranged attack on American veterans groups. A politicized lawnmower salesman who avoided military service himself, Burr claims to be a distant relative of Aaron Burr, who killed Alexander Hamilton in a duel. This Burr is also the ranking Republican on the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, not the Senate Lawnmower And Small Appliances Committee.
