this is the michigan state police department's largest-ever settlement for a single incident. a lawyer for the grimes family said -- "we hope this kind of money will act as a deterrent, t unfortunately it rarely does." a colorado judge has ordered the denver police department to stop enforcing the city's ban against camping, saying the ban amounts to cruel and unusual punishment. several homeless rights organizations in colorado celebrated the decision, which comes two weeks after the supreme court also upheld protections for people who sleep or camp outdoors by leaving in place a lower court ruling saying it was unconstitutional for cities to prosecute people for sleeping or camping outside unless the city provides shelter for every single unhoused person in their jurisdiction. prominent progressive journalist and editor william greider has died. greider spent decades reporting on politics, economics, civil rights, and labor issues for "the washington post," "rolling stone" magazine, and " "the nation." the award-winning journalist died on christmas day at his home in washing

we're all of us just really looking forward to it and obviously we want to win points you know to michigan state. a capital case of darby fever lens 1st ever bundesliga darby as a unified city. that cold for an early starts. for some of the match they come battens as well like when you're on strike and sebastian poulter back with the i n one since the start of 2017. now saturday lie in faith in that week. and therefore it was very early. for me my kids came into the bedroom and woke me up at 7 in the morning on. some of you my mom on vagueness of all of them are obvious and i drank your coffee with my girlfriend or them them pretty much headed straight to the stadium most of them with the form of photos you have i'm going all out to be there for a quarter to 9 to have breakfast together and start preparing for the game and it was what i'd done most of the most beautiful. in the early morning vanguard for the visit says by a dyed in the wool hurts a fan so much so he's even written a book about the 111 reasons to love. he cast it off a dobie day with a pleasure cruise through the capital in the c

in michigan, the democratic governor, an ally as we flip the state house from red to blew. we have the opportunity to flip the michigan house. we gained five seats in the michigan house and we only need to flip four seats red to blue in order to flip michigan. we have to win the house to give the governor more power in the state legislature. they are fighting gerry meandering and passed a redistricting commission in michigan. but scott walker's organization, national republican redistricting trust has fought hard and brought a suit in federal court to say that that initiative may not be eligible. republicans have tried to do everything to take away the funding to build out this commission. so we want to do everything we can flip it from red to blue. michigan is a huge presidential battleground. governor gary peters is back up and many gains were made in the last election cycle and we will look at the overlay. there are still seats we can win. so we have a great ability to do this and flip this red to blue. go to minnesota. this is our next target. minnesota state senate is o

state. so there's a lot of overland northeast nesting in our target at the legislative level and the congressional map. let's talk about michigan. as chigan, their governor we flip the house from red to blue. the entire state senate was up in 2018. but we have an opportunity to flip the michigan house. we gained five seats last election cycle. so now we only need to flip four seats in order to flip michigan. we wanted a shot at the senate to give governor whitmore a level of power in the legislature. we know that republicans are fighting this predict gerrymandering. they passed a nonpartisan redistricting commission michigan. so it's possible that's how redistricting will be done. but scott walker had fought hard and brought a suit into federal dourt say that that initiative may not be eligible. republicans in the state legislature values tried to do everything they can to take away the funding to take out this commission. there's been a full assault on the independent commission. we want to do everything to flip it from red to blue. michigan is a huge presidential battleground. in addition to that senator gary peters is back u

before that state of the union, he is going to go out there, it's all going to be trump reprieve, i'm the greatest, strongest person in the world. >> o'donnell: the president today in michigan, a state that he won by, i know you know every vote, one of the votes that of course 10,704 votes this is his fifth visit to the state of michigan. the president a charging ahead in his re-election effort. >> in my view, the problem democrats have is the president is going to come out of here with an acquittal. he's going to get it. and unfortunately for the democrats or fortunately for us, the people out there in michigan and wisconsin, iowa, they're not really paying attention to this. i think it was david axelrod that said he went to a democrat-focus group, first 80 minutes impeachment didn't even come up. so i think that the only i think casualty here is going to be joe biden. because ultimately the president is going to come out of this, his approval rating is going up. you have now joe biden if he doesn't win iowa, is going to have a problem in new hampshire, going to have a problem in nevada and the democrats are going to be on their way to potentially a contested convention. >

we will look at states like michigan. we will look at a state like new mexico. meteorologist mark roncetti is an interesting candidate and people assume new mexico's deep blue. it is a little more complex than that so we will look at that race and leader mcconnell, he certainly knows how to run his own races, but he is running against potentially running against amy mcgrath, who is raising huge amounts of money nd for lack of resources, we don't want that one to slide off. i think we should be in good shape there, but that is another we engage in if we need to. jacqueline: your overall numbers? steven: in november, we said we would raise $50 million and our otal budget for the cycle is 200. e announced the other day we raised $68.3 million, which is n all-time record. we've got twice as much cash as we did in 2018, partly because of the alabama misadventure, but i think we are starting to cycle in good shape. i am not ready to say that we would raise and spend more than 200. 200 may be what are what they have an appetite for. it will take that much. one thing th

in many state, in states like minnesota and iowa and michigan, historically the coordinated campaign, and what has happened last cycle in north carolina, the coordinated campaign fully integrates with the state legislative caucus work and they think about, as they work statewide, how do we bring the presidency and also trying to figure out how did they win the state legislatures. so that means we'll sit down at a table and say here are the key things for door knocking and here is our key targeted chambers and it allows us to run a much more robust get out the vote strategy in some of these states where there is a historic coordination and the field team, we have a full field team at dlcc we will go out and help build that out and in pennsylvania, we have a robust coordinator and work closely with them to build out a legislative program. in states like texas, the texas democratic party is very focused on winning back the legislature. so it provides a great opportunity, lots of additional resources in the state, lots of additional bodies, people knocking on doors, having face to face co

we are talking about states, michigan, minnesota. are talking about having to go defend. if i had been talking to you and you said those were the states, they are not talking about ohio and florida anymore. the president on the ballot changes things. you had millions of voters and those millions will show up again and more millions will show up even more because the president has policies that he can run on. >> so you think georgia six is a one off? >> special elections are speci special. either way, congressional -- who runs a congressional race matters. that's not president trump on the ballot, and it's different. so the president is going to win georgia, it's not even close. >> how badly does this impeachment trial harm the campaign? >> i'm sure the president needs to speak for himself on this but from the campaign side our numbers have gone up. and you are the one that will become victorious out of this. it's going to create lots of fund-raising, we've already got 200 million in the bank and our numbers have gone up. independent s

again, big swing states in the u.s., wisconsin, pennsylvania, michigan, states where trump really wonthe election, you look at those states, there's not support for trump economic policies. wisconsin is only 37% say the trump policies helped. you've seen pockets of places where he is getting credit, you're not seeing people feeling better, and in key states which he needs to hold onto, there's skepticism whether he is helping or hurting the economy. >> what's the democratic counter argument, go to swing states, keep telling the story? the president is pounding the narrative that any democrat elected will tank the economy. >> i think you do have to go there. trade policies in particular, one of the questions we asked this month, are you worried about the trade war. it was interesting. 75% of americans thought the trade war was hurting the economy. that may have helped them this time, remember trump got the china trade deal announced before we went into the field with the poll, there was some positive sentiment behind trade. big agricultural states, those are places that are beginning t

when michigan state police detective james carbon arrived on the scene, he knew he was in for a long night. >> we don't have a lot of homicides that happen in and around branch county. and because of her position as a schoolteacher, just for the number of people that knew her, that put it in a much more serious type investigation. >> diskt carbon and his team of state troopers scoured the crime scene, taking pictures and seizing evidence of what appeared to be a home burglary gone wrong. the first clue, the broken glass coming from the kitchen door window. >> and it appeared that a beer bottle was used to break that particular window. >> according to tom, jewelry and credit cards were missing. the family desk had also been disturbed and financial documents inside were gone. and then there was a medicine cabinet. >> looked like somebody had gone in and basically scooped up a shelf off of medicine cabinet and its contents. >> like maybe they were looking for prescription drugs. >> potentially. >> but to detective carbon, the items missing weren't nearly as telling as what was left behi

knowns largely as a manufacturing town, and president trump promised things to wisconsin and michigan, the states," indicated he would help them out, and has not done that. he stands up his rallies and lies about what he has done to help industry. he was in toledo, ohio not long ago bragging about them factory that was shuttered. athink when you really look the so-called forgotten people, they have been the people that have been hurt the most. the $1.4look at trillion tax cut to the benefit of largely corporations and shareholders, those people are doing very well and they are making contributions back into the republican party because they are doing very well. 80% of the benefit of that tax and int to people -- don't know who you are, but i bet you are not one of the people who benefited from this tax cut that the president promised that it would -- milwaukee is a place called a surge city. we are working with what we have . we have a great lake. we are looking at opportunities we can bring forward through the financial services industry, but there is very little to nothing that the president in

has largely been known as sort of a manufacturing town, and president trump promised states like wisconsin and michigan, the "rust belt" states, indicated that they were forgotten and he was gonna help them out, and he hasn't done that. he stands up at his rallies and lies about what he has done to help industry. he was in toledo, ohio not too long ago bragging about some factory that in fact was shuttered. and i think when you really look at the so-called forgotten people, they have been the people that have been hurt the most. when you look at his $1.4 trillion tax cut, that to the benefit of large corporations and shareholders, those people are doing very well and they are making contributions back into the republican party because they are doing very, very well, but 80% of the benefit of that tax cut went to people and i don't know who you are, tony, but i bet you are not one of the people who benefited from this tax cut that the president promised that it would. milwaukee is a place that's called a surge city. we are working with what we have. we have a great lake. we are looking at opportunities

the republican controlled state legislature won't have it. michigan just put voters, not politicians in. a few things that happened, the state legislature had tried to defund the commission. scott walker's organization was sued in federal court to dismantle the commission. republicans assault independent commissions. if they believed in fair districting, they would have done it in 2010 and they didn't. they have been struck down by many federal courts. they would support the independent commissions which they do not. host: good morning. caller: good morning, steve. how have you been? i am slowly recovering. i had my blood pressure up. i know when my blood pressure hits that mark. host: stay healthy. caller: i'm glad you got a civilized person that doesn't lie and steal from people. before i get to her, you had a caller from texas on who was 92. i am so glad you are alive and well. i was worried about you. it was so good hearing that you are ok. she is just wonderful. host: all of the callers are wonderful. caller: the ones that don't violate, i keep a

state leaders was put on the auction block. there are local organizations keeping track. again i mentioned backcountry. we have a michigan chapter per client seen a couple folks from our board here today. they are doing a lot of things in the state of michigan in getting people involved and volunteering, different get-togethers to celebrate public land. and if you see see another great local organization. so that impacts us here to. we have a pretty great national forest here in the state. so taxable organizations get involved for go there's people to talk to thank you.

. >> next from the great state of michigan i would like to commend her for taking part in the fight abroad and here at home. i think you can see the strong support to get bipartisan members of congress to stay through an entire hearing and ask interesting questions. you know you're on a topic that has strong bipartisan support so thank you. we've been reading the material in talking about the fourfold increase in victims of violent semitism in the past two years according to the testimony. on top of the vandalism, harassment, in michigan we have seen the same precipitous rise including a synagogue that was defaced and the michigan state university that i represent was defaced so this is an issue that is very much on my mind, and in our heart. but i am a cia analyst by training and so while i respect the view and have lived the experience that it is as old as the world, we can't answer down to the idea that there's been a precipitous increase so i'm interested in order to fix the problem, we have to understand what is at the root of the problem. we talked about this idea of mainstreaming. e

michigan is one of the states this is being treated in. i will be th blunt i didn't supt it when it was on the ballot. i come from a family that has seen what drug addiction does to people. but like my colleague mr. griffin, mr. schrader, my husband suffered great pain and many people said that marijuana would be the only thing. would he try it, and he would not because it wasn't legal and he didn't know the side effects though it might have given him relief in the end. but i was the keynote speaker this past year. i don't even know how it got scheduled if you want to know the truth. i'm still trying to figure that out. >> it wasn't a schedule one. [laughter] >> but i got up and said i've never smoked marijuana and don't think i ever will smoked marijuana. i was getting involved in direct spoke that day, but i talked a little scientists and there were three things that need to happen, and i am as committed as anybody on the need to give more research on this issue. .. >> that's one of the reasons i introduced with my colleagues with the ma

is refined michigan the heart of republican support. grand rapids, that part of the state, it's very influential. remember, going into the 2016 election, pollsters were saying hillary clinton could win michigan by 8, 9, 10 points. of course that proved to be erroneous. detroit and wayne county is where the democrats have always done well. but look at economic opportunity. take my district. , she is one of those democrats who came into a district that donald trump one by seven points. she was the winner by just under three points. a republican plus district and i will tell you that she just voted for the impeachment articles and it puts her in peril. her town hall meeting a couple of days before the vote, a lot of attention. it was a lot of hollering and yelling and screaming. i was there. i think that slot can, haley stevens, other members have real political problems. look at the promise that came into 2019 with the democrats. all the wind in their sales, all the chances. nancy pelosi was going to do great things and they squandered that capital on one thing. the russian

. >> let's talk about the state by states. michigan is interesting where you spent four years as a wolverine. wisconsin is interesting. are any state by states you look at and think, okay, i buy that as a real take it to the bank trend for the snapshot in time that it is? >> yes. here's what's interesting. i think the most important status to look at what happened in 2018 in the midterms. both wisconsin and michigan elected democratic governors that year. turnout was massive in those states, and i think trump wasn't even on the ballot. so really democrats should be looking at both wisconsin and michigan and also pennsylvania as opportunities for pickups. same with virginia. so they really need to drive up turnout. the margin of victory for trump in 2016 was something like 11,000 votes. so you need to win over more white working-class voters, but you also need to go to your base, which is both young people and people of color, black democrats, and you need to drive them out to the polls. >> i am duty-bound to point out the clinton campa

there are six states that are critical in november. and they're michigansconsin, north carolina, florida, and arizona and pennsylvania. those are states that donald trump is campaigning in every single day. a tweet out last week where he talked about their efforts and the voters they have been reaching out to. 80% of the voters they brought online, they're targeting, are in those states. we put ourselves at an enormous disadvantage to invest every dollar we can over a year in a state that won't make a difference in november. that should be an enormous concern to any democrat. >> have you heard anything from the democratic party chairman, tom perez, of the dnc on this morning. >> i expect to hear some comments from my friends in iowa. and i do have friends in iowa or at least i suppose i used to have friends in iowa. listen this is too important. we have to come together as a party and nationally to fight the fight that needs to be fought to remove donald trump from office and we put ourselves at a disadvantage. what mike bloomberg said on cnn today if he w

they're everywhere in the country but to persuade polls that matter are the ones in swing states like michigan wisconsin pennsylvania and florida. now each of these states were broken down by precinct. so you can see there are 22000 persuadable voters in this precinct. and if we targeted another persuadable people on the right precincts in those states would turn red instead of blue. so that's how they did it that's how it's done but jessica you're not persuaded by the persuadable. what a lot of the like you all the experimental research in political science tells us is that. it's much easier to mobilize people so people who have already been persuaded either to get the them to go out on election day to go vote or even to donate more money to the people they already like. that that is where data makes a big difference. in persuasion repeatably even kind of the best uses of data which tend to be canvassing in person so not just putting that data toward a target ad but putting that data toward me knocking on your door that there's really mixed results and that it's not abundantly clear that even

pennsylvania is a swing state, michigan is a swing state . those are not small states. it happens that the population of iowa and the population of new hampshire, to swing states are small but that's completely accidental. it's just because it's the purpose of those states that they are important. so one of the most important cases ever to go to the supreme court to challenge the system that produces this swing state america was actually brought by delaware. delaware in 1968 brought the case to try to get the supreme court to end winner take all. they thought it was benefiting not everybody equally but benefiting certain states very powerfully. and i think that there's an amendment that everybody should be okay with. there should be no partisan disagreement about or at least it should be a compromise we should all agree on which should say the number of electors we have right now, so you give a certain advantage to small states but instead of winner takeall , elect the electors at a functional level. it doesn't matter if you get a vote in wyoming, it's worth as much as

and to most cities in the state of michigan if you live in a city that's predominantly were people ofor live. we are paying for the rest of the state to survive off the backs of people of color. we really need to know and then when people are moving into the city who don't look like me, don't have this type of color, they are using somebody else's address in the suburbs. they're not able to vote in detroit. this is what's happening. and has been for decades. i'm blessed that i own five properties, my rent for my tenants is $450-$525 a month for a two bedroom, you can't find any affordable housing in the city now so people are moving to flat rock, taylor, all these downriver communities because they can no longer afford staying in detroit. your history and understand what's going on with the bankruptcy which was really come distraught and it's affected all of us either directly or indirectly because of choices the emergency management and other folks have made that affect all of us one way or another. >> this is why i wrote the book.

the state of michigan alone lost nearly 200,000, think of that, manufacturing jobs and nearly half of its vehicle manufacturing jobs, they left. they went to mexico. they went to canada, they went to many other places. in the last 16 years before my election, 60,000 plants and factories closed throughout the united states. can you imagine that? 60,000. it is not even possible. i know it is true because all of the fake news back there, you see all those cameras? [booing] if i say something that is even slightly off it is a headline. so i have been saying it for two years. 60,000 plants and factories closed. nafta was the worst trade deal probably ever made by any country. could have gotten any worse. you saw it in michigan as much as any place. you lost your car companies. i was hon another, believe it or not 10 years ago i came to michigan, i was honored by a wonderful group, i was the man of the year and i made a speech and it was a little bit controversial, and i didn't know too much about the car industry, but i did know you were losing all your jobs, they were leaving, they were g

in threerted our work states, michigan, ohio, pennsylvania. this will- in 2020, be our five year anniversary. i think that is because state lawmakers, they have to face their constituents every day. they understand that we are not going to be able to incarcerate .ur way in kentucky, there are a lot of people who are very sick. sick people should not be behind bars for they should be getting treatment. that is what really it's all about. it is about distinguishing between people who are sick and people who are dangerous, and sick people need to be getting treatment. we have been able to show that across the country where we are able to divert individuals who are suffering from mental illness, where we have been able to divert them to treatment options, the outcomes we see are better. it is also better for society. back in october, the president discuss this. here's what he had to say. party lines across very strongly. after all of the work, we pass the bill and i proudly signed into law. reform inignificant many generations. we call it the first

congratulations you are on my team he is the reason i was speaking at college campuses in michigan, wisconsin. those states the other side took for granted and didn't even bother to go to in the last month of 2016 i think we spent 14 days out of 30 in michigan and wisconsin against all odds and experts you know where i'm going with this.

next up is miss stop in from the great state of michigan. also like to formally commend her for her entire professional life, taking part in the fight against terror. both abroad and here at home. >> thank you chairman. so, thank you for doing this panel. i think you can see there are is strong support, when you can get bipartisan members of congress to stay through an entire hearing and it ask engage an interesting questions. you know you have a topic that has strong bipartisan support an interest. we have been reading materials, we have all been talking about a four fold increase in victims of antisemitism in the past two years according to greenblatt's testimony. on top of the vandalism, the harassment. in michigan we have seen the same precipitous rise in antisemitism including, a synagogue that was defaced, a michigan state university which i represent was defaced, so this is an issue that is very much on my mind and in our hearts. i am a cia analyst by training and so, while i respect the view and certainly have lived the experience th

i applaud the state of michigan for having that done. now that's actually current law. in the appropriation bill, which provided $2 ppt billion for the clean water and drinking state revolving fund, $20 million will go to state level pfas cleanup. as we hear this debate, as we go to the amendment, we're going to hear the doom and gloom and that we're negligent, e.p.a. is not doing anything, we're terrible people. but in fact at the end of last year, great strides were made. i applaud in a bipartisan manner, i applaud the ndaa, i applaud the end of year spending bill, and this too shall end. do want to highlight the fact forms of per- 66 yfluorinated compounds has never ben done in the history of this body, it's more political science versus science. we get it. we'll move through the process, have our vote and then this will be a fight for the next congress because the senate has said it's not going to support this bill. not going to bring it up. the president has already issued a veto threat. it's a good exercise. i get to practice speaking on the floor with my friends a
