senators kay hagan and mary landrieu both voted against beginning debate on the bill. >>> new e-mails released by house republicans are not doing much help. the ex-official at the center of the irs targeting scandal, because in an e-mail exchange with a colleague back in 2012, lois lerner made a profane remark about conservatives related to a talk radio show. she also said of those on the right, "we don't need to worry about alien terrorists. it's our own crazies that will take us down." republicans say the e-mails give further proof that lerner does have a bias against conservatives. >>> there is an unusual move in the plagiarism investigation against senator john walsh. it all started after a "new york times" story accused the montana democrat of plagiarizing on his 2007 masters thesis. the u.s. army war college says the defense department will oversee the case and make the final decision on whether any discipline is warranted. the school's provost says the dod will take over because walsh is a member of congress and a military veteran. >>> democrats are leaning on an unlikely sourc

two democrats watching their backs, mary landrieu and kay hag hagan voted against bringing the bill to a floor. on friday the federal government will have to begin delaying transportation financing to states. governors are going to get a little upset about that. it's all a reminder of how little these lawmakers you've sent to capitol hill are getting done. this congress is on track to become the least productive in modern history if by productivity you measure it by laws passed. so far this congress has passed just 142 new laws. the fewest ever at this point. congress has managed to enact just 15% of the laws that harry truman's famous do-nothing congress got passed. by comparison that 1947-48 congress looks downright productive. it's just not the legislative process, though, in washington that is stuck. so is the political conversation. the campaign trail is riddled with reruns. we've been looking for a single new idea anywhere on the campaign trail and we're struggling to find it. instead candidates running for congress are recycling talking points from the last campaign cycle and th
