Hi Kragen, This is an interesting analysis. I think that there are a couple of nits I might pick (for example, I don't expect that the market will be well developed with highest bidders for while), I think that the most important issue, which is that end users won't be able to fix their systems, is almost passed over. I know that you know this, and you allude to it, but your essay is getting passed around, so you might want to add to it bits about the sysadmin and others. There's one other point which you don't make, which I think is very important, which is that research into defining and addressing classes of vulnerabilities can't happen without libraries of available vulnerability code. I can think of three researchers into automated methods for addressing vulnerabilities who griped, uninvited, about the quality of the existing vulnerability sites. Doing research into a set requires that you have enough examples, in the open, that you can define a set, and that the set is added to from time to time so you can make and test predictions. I feel fairly confident in saying that without full disclosure, we wouldn't have Stackguard, ITS4, Nissus, or snort. And the security admin's job would be a lot harder.

Briefly, "iDEFENSE", which bills | itself as "a global security intelligence company", is offering cash | for information about security vulnerabilities in computer software | that are not publicly known, especially if you promise not to tell | anyone else. | | If this kind of secret traffic is allowed to continue, it will pose a | very serious threat to our computer communications infrastructure. | | At the moment, the dominant paradigm for computer security research | known as "full disclosure"; people who discover security | vulnerabilities in software tell the vendor about them, and a short | while later --- after the vendor has had a chance to fix the problem | --- they publish the information, including code to exploit the | vulnerability, if possible. | | This method has proven far superior to the old paradigm established by | CERT in the late 1980s, which its proponents might call "responsible | disclosure" --- never release working exploit code, and never release | any information on the vulnerability before all vendors have released | a patch. This procedure often left hundreds of thousands of computers | vulnerable to known bugs for months or years while the vendors worked | on features, and often, even after the patches were released, people | wouldn't apply them because they didn't know how serious the problem | was. | | The underground computer criminal community would often discover and | exploit these same holes for months or years while the "responsible | disclosure" process kept their victims, who had no connections in the | underground, vulnerable. | | The problem with this is that vulnerabilities that are widely known | are much less dangerous, because their victims can take steps to | reduce their potential impact --- including disabling software, | turning off vulnerable features, filtering traffic in transit, and | detecting and responding to intrusions. They are therefore much less | useful to would-be intruders. Also, software companies usually see | security vulnerabilities in their software as PR problems, and so | prefer to delay publication (and the expense of fixing the bugs) as | long as possible. | | iDEFENSE is offering a new alternative that appears far more dangerous | than either of the two previous paradigms. They want to be a buyer in | a marketplace for secret software vulnerability information, rewarding | discoverers of vulnerabilities with cash. | | Not long before, Snosoft, a group of security researchers evidently | including some criminal elements, apparently made an offer to sell the | secrecy of some software vulnerability information to the software | vendor; specifically, they apparently made a private offer to | Hewlett-Packard to keep a vulnerability in HP's Tru64 Unix secret if | HP retained Snosoft's "consulting services". HP considered this | extortion and responded with legal threats, and Snosoft published the | information. | | If this is allowed to happen, it will cause two problems which, | together, add up to a catastrophe. | | First, secret software vulnerability information will be available to | the highest bidder, and to nobody else. For reasons explained later, | I think the highest bidders will generally be organized crime | syndicates, although that will not be obvious to the sellers. | | Second, finding software vulnerabilities and keeping them secret will | become lucrative for many more talented people. The result will be | --- just as in the "responsible disclosure" days --- that the good | guys will remain vulnerable for months and years, while the majority | of current vulnerabilities are kept secret. | | I've heard it argued that the highest bidders will generally be the | vendors of the vulnerable software, but I don't think that's | plausible. If someone can steal $20 000 because a software bug lets | them, the software vendor is never held liable; often, in fact, the | people who administer the software aren't liable, either --- when | credit card data are stolen from an e-commerce site, for example. | Knowing about a vulnerability before anyone else might save a web-site | administrator some time, and it might save the software vendor some | negative PR, but it can net the thief thousands of dollars. | | I think the highest bidders will be those for whom early vulnerability | information is most lucrative --- the thieves who can use it to | execute the largest heists without getting caught. Inevitably, that | means organized crime syndicates, although the particular gangs who | are good at networked theft may not yet exist. | | There might be the occasional case where a market leader, such as | Microsoft, could make more money by giving their competitors bad PR | than a gang could make by theft. Think of a remote-root hole in | Samba, for example. | | Right now, people who know how to find security exploits are either | motivated by personal interest in the subject, motivated by the public | interest, motivated by a desire for individual recognition, or | personally know criminals that benefit from their exploits. Creating | a marketplace in secret vulnerability information would vastly | increase the availability of that information to the people who can | afford to pay the most for it: spies, terrorists, and organized crime. | | Let's not let that happen. | | | | | This is the original iDEFENSE announcement: | | From: Sunil James | Sent: Wednesday, August 07, 2002 12:32 PM | Subject: Introducing iDEFENSE's Vulnerability Contributor Program | | | Greetings, | | iDEFENSE is pleased to announce the official launch of its Vulnerability | Contributor Program (VCP). The VCP pays contributors for the advance | notification of vulnerabilities, exploit code and malicious code. | | iDEFENSE hopes you might consider contributing to the VCP. The following | provides answers to some basic questions about the program: | | Q. How will it work? | A. iDEFENSE understands the majority of security researchers do not publish | security research for compensation; rather, it could be for any of a number | of motivations, including the following: | | * Pure love of security research | * The desire to protect against harm to targeted networks | * The desire to urge vendors to fix their products | * The publicity that often accompanies disclosure | | The VCP is for those who want to have their research made public to the | Internet community, but who would also like to be paid for doing the | work.The compensation will depend, among other things, on the following | items: | | * The kind of information being shared (i.e. vulnerability or exploit) | * The amount of detail and analysis provided | * The potential severity level for the information shared | * The types of applications, operating systems, and other | software and hardware potentially affected | * Verification by iDEFENSE Labs | * The level of exclusivity, if any, for data granted to iDEFENSE | | Q. Who should contribute to the VCP? | A. The VCP is open to any individual, security research group or other | entity. | | Q. Why are you launching this program? | A. Timeliness remains a key aspect in security intelligence. Contributions | to some lists take time before publication to the public at large. More | often, many of these services charge clients for access without paying the | original contributor. Under the iDEFENSE program, the contributor is | compensated, iDEFENSE Labs verifies the issue, and iDEFENSE clients and the | public at large are warned in a timely manner. | | Q. Who gets the credit? | A. The contributor is always credited for discovering the vulnerability or | exploit information. | | Q. When can I contribute? | The VCP is active. You are welcome to begin contributing today. | | To learn more, go to If you have | questions or would like to sign up as a contributor to the VCP, please | contact us at contributor@idefense.com. | | Regards, | | Sunil James | Technical Analyst | iDEFENSE | | "iDEFENSE is a global security intelligence company that proactively | monitors sources throughout the world -- from technical vulnerabilities and | hacker profiling to the global spread of viruses and other malicious code. | The iALERT security intelligence service provides decision-makers, frontline | security professionals and network administrators with timely access to | actionable intelligence and decision support on cyber-related threats. | iDEFENSE Labs is the research wing that verifies vulnerabilities, examines | the behavior of exploits and other malicious code and discovers new | software/hardware weaknesses in a controlled lab environment." | |  | -- "It is seldom that liberty of any kind is lost all at once." -Hume

Here is a map of our coverage area: We have an audience of just over 2,000,000 listeners. So our audience is greater than MSNBC and CNN. This is a talk radio audience so this is an audience that is older, politically engaged, and votes consistently. We have a social media and newsletter audience of 250,000 subscribers.

The Costa Report is a post-partisan human affairs show with an audience of over 2 million people with over 250,000 followers on social media. I am pitching this to you because Rebecca Costa is interested in doing an interview with Congresswoman Wasserman-Schultz that isn't particularly partisan or political in nature but to appeal to our higher angels as Americans in terms of our love for civic duty and commitment to public service. I am sure the Congresswoman would like to do an interview where she is not either on the offensive or defensive as chair of the DNC or as a political candidate. Put simply, it won't be a hostile interview but more of an interview that focuses on what can we do as a country together, regardless if Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump becomes president or if Congress stays the same or changes hands. Also, to be blunt, we would love to have more Democrats in Congress on the program. You can hear recordings of past work here:  You will see that we have had on major players on before. I have May 12 open right now, which is right before the California primary. It would be an opportune time for her to be on and reach out to a talk radio audience that would open to another perspective on the Congresswoman's life and career. There are a few options for a phone interview: 1. Live interview scheduled in between 2:00 - 3:00 pm (Pacific Time) with various breaks in between. 2. A recorded interview between 9:00 - 10:00 am (Pacific Time). 3. A recorded interview between 10:00 - 11:00 am (Pacific Time).

Debbie Wasserman Schultz issued the following statement: "On International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia we reaffirm the dignity and worth of those in the LGBT community. Observing this day is especially important this political season, when negative rhetoric aimed at our LGBT brothers and sisters, and efforts to pass anti-LGBT legislation in states around the country threaten to inflame hatreds and deepen divisions in our communities. These actions are wrong, and do nothing but encourage bullying, cruelty and harassment, and we must stand against them. "Our nation has made tremendous strides in the fight for full equality, but we have much farther to go before homophobia, transphobia and biphobia become a thing of the past. Until then, Democrats will continue to openly and proudly fight with the LGBT community, activists and allies to elect leaders and enact policies that advance acceptance and LGBT rights as our common cause." ###

WEATHER: 63F, RAIN POTUS and the Administration Obama: We're living in 'most peaceful' era in human history WASHINGTON TIMES // JESSICA CHASMAR We're fortunate to be living in the most peaceful era in human history, President Obama said in Germany on Monday before announcing that he was sending 250 more American special operations forces troops to Syria . "I want to begin with an observation that, given the challenges that we face in the world and the headlines we see every day, may seem improbable, but it's true," Mr. Obama said in Hanover on the final day of his tour of Europe and the Middle East. "We are fortunate to be living in the most peaceful, most prosperous, most progressive era in human history. Michelle Obama Encourages New York Students to Reach Higher ASSOCIATED PRESS // DEEPTI HAJELA High school seniors on their way to college were feted by U.S. first ladyMichelle Obama and a host of celebrities on Tuesday as she encouraged them to make the most of their college experiences, get involved in campus life and ask for help when they need it. "We are so proud of everything you've achieved, and we don't take the struggle for granted," Obama told a roaring crowd of young people in attendance at an event in Harlem. Obama was marking her third and last College Signing Day, part of the Reach Higher initiative she started to encourage young people to extend their educations past high school. The events were in Detroit and San Antonio the first two years. John F. Kerry and the Vietnam War continue to be intertwined WASHINGTON POST // CAROL MORELLO Secretary of State John F. Kerry's career has long been intertwined with Vietnam, and the devastating, divisive war he fought in and against. After a tour in Vietnam as a young Navy officer, Kerry burst onto the public stage as an antiwar protester in the 1970s. As a senator, he helped create conditions for the normalization of U.S.-Vietnam relations in the 1990s. Next month, he will accompany President Obama to Hanoi, no longer Washington's foe but an important strategic and economic partner. Kerry's past and present will merge once again Wednesday at a Vietnam symposium at the LBJ Presidential Library in Austin. He will preview the Obama trip, and chat onstage with filmmaker Ken Burns about Burns's upcoming documentary on the Vietnam War. Democrats House Democrats question if Valeant is withholding records REUTERS // SARAH LYNCH Democrats on a powerful U.S. congressional panel are questioning whether Canada-based Valeant Pharmaceuticals may be wrongfully withholding documents in connection with its ongoing probe into sky-rocketing drug prices, according to an internal memo seen by Reuters on Tuesday. The memo, which was sent to Democratic members of the House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Government Reform from the staff of its top Democrat Elijah Cummings, reveals that Valeant previously withheld readily available analyst reports prepared by banks such as Goldman Sachs, saying they were protected by attorney-client privilege. The memo says it also raises questions about other documents that are still being withheld, saying some of these "were not drafted by attorneys and do not include communications with attorneys." Senate Nears Deal for at Least $1.1 Billion to Fight Zika Virus NEW YORK TIMES // DAVID HENDERSON Senate negotiators on Tuesday moved closer to an agreement to provide at least $1.1 billion in emergency financing to combat the rapidly spreading Zika virus, which public health officials warn poses an imminent threat in the United States, but House Republicans said they were still not ready to approve additional funds. The White House bluntly warned that Republicans were not acting quickly enough and that the needed money might not arrive before mosquitoes carrying the disease, which causes birth defects, reach the United States. "This is an emergency," said Josh Earnest, the White House press secretary. "The American people are counting on Congress to act. And instead, we've gotten bureaucratic excuses." U.S. Senate Nears Deal for Emergency Zika Virus Funding WALL STREET JOURNAL // SOIBHAN HUGHES Senate Republicans said Tuesday they were close to an agreement with Democrats on new funding to combat the Zika virus, but conservative House Republicans remained skeptical about the need for an emergency appropriation. Proponents of the funding say the onset of warmer weather is creating an urgent need for the funding, which would be used to control mosquito populations, develop vaccines and increase laboratory capacity for research into the virus, which has been linked to birth defects. Budget Director Shaun Donovan said earlier this month that the U.S. shouldn't take the risk of having the outbreak spread and get out of control before Congress acts. Democrats Pressure Republicans To Move On Emergency Zika Funding Ahead Of Break THE HUFFINGTON POST // LAURA BARRON-LOPEZ As lawmakers prepare to leave for a weeklong recess, Democrats are calling for a vote on emergency funding to combat the spreading Zika virus. Republicans indicated last week they planned to work with Democrats, after weeks of ignoring the administration's request to direct emergency money toward the epidemic. The virus, according to the World Health Organization, causes microcephaly and other severe fetal brain defects. There have been 388 travel-related Zika cases reported in the U.S. since the start of 2015. On Tuesday, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) urged Republicans to move now, ahead of the brief recess that begins for both chambers on Friday. "There's been talk about some kind of arrangement, but there is no deal," Reid said, adding that the amount Republicans are eyeing (over $1 billion) isn't enough. Senate Democrats Expand Scope of #DoYourJob Barbs MORNING CONSULT // WILL DOBBS-ALLSOPP It started as the mantra Senate Democrats used to urge their GOP colleagues to grant Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland a hearing and floor vote: "Do your job." For weeks, every Democratic tweet urging Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) to take up Garland's nomination ended with #DoYourJob. At press conferences and in video releases, Senate Democrats brought forward doctors, nurses, and municipal employees to explain what would happen if they refused to do their jobs. Their point, though a tad heavy-handed, was clear: Republican senators are skipping out on work. But with little prospect of a Garland hearing and a number of other pressing issues dominating the news cycle, the #DoYourJob campaign has evolved. Once a movement with the sole purpose of getting Garland a confirmation hearing and vote, the tagline has become a bicameral effort to paint congressional Republicans as generally obstructionist on a host of items. One of these Dem stars is about to suffer a crushing defeat THE HILL // MIKE LILLIS Democratic voters in Maryland head to the polls on Tuesday to decide the fate of two of the party's most promising stars. Reps. Chris Van Hollen and Donna Edwards are vying to replace outgoing Sen. Barbara Mikulski in the Free State, and the stakes are enormous. One lawmaker will see a fruitful congressional career come to a screeching halt with a primary loss and be left to face an uncertain political future. The other will be a big favorite to win a November promotion and become a fixture in the upper chamber, where Maryland hasn't been represented by a Republican in three decades. Reid says Sanders can't win, but won't call on him to quit race CNN // MANU RAJU Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid said Tuesday that Bernie Sanders can't win the Democratic nomination, but he won't call on the Vermont senator to quit the race. Speaking to reporters on Capitol Hill, the Nevada senator was asked if he thought Sanders had a path to the presidential nomination. "No, I don't," Reid replied. Reid said he was comfortable with Sanders' vow to take the campaign to the convention in July, saying he "should do what he has to do." Republicans Addiction Recovery Groups Warn House Republicans Are Prolonging Opioid Crisis HUFFINGTON POST // RYAN GRIM Addiction recovery groups are opening up a full-throated campaign against legislation that House Republicans will propose as the chamber's response to the opioid epidemic. House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) have been promising swift action following the March passage of the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act in the Senate by a vote of 94-1. On Wednesday, House Republicans will introduce the Comprehensive Opioid Abuse Reduction Act, an advance copy of which was obtained by The Huffington Post. If the House had been hoping its parallel effort would win the support of the drug policy and addiction community, though, a barrage of letters has been unleashed to set them straight. House set to limit paid time off for federal employees under investigation WASHINGTON POST// ERIC YODER Federal agencies could no longer put employees on indefinite paid leave while investigating them for misconduct or poor performance under a bill set for a House floor vote as soon as Tuesday. The measure is one of many seeking to limit "administrative leave" following investigations finding that agencies had used that form of leave routinely to keep employees off the job, although with full pay and benefits, for months - and in some cases a year or more. The bill would limit such leave to 14 days; if an investigation were not finished by then, the employee generally would have to return to work. If the agency decided that the employee would pose certain risks, even if assigned to different duties or to telecommuting, the leave could be extended for additional 30-day periods, with reports to Congress required each time. Fed Up With the Senate US NEWS AND WORLD REPORTS // DJUAN WASH Right now, there are key vacancies at a vital government institution. President Barack Obama has fulfilled his duty and put forward eminently qualified nominees to fill the vacancies. Yet despite the nominees' strong credentials, Republicans in the Senate have dragged their feet, and the chair of the committee whose job it is to consider the nominees has refused to even schedule hearings. No, this isn't the high-profile battle to fill the seat of the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. While the fight over Scalia's replacement may be stealing headlines, Republican obstructionism is actually preventing another important government body from functioning as it should: the Federal Reserve. Two vacant spots on the seven-person Federal Reserve Board of Governors have sat unfilled since 2014. Obama nominated former community banking CEO Allan Landon to be a Federal Reserve governor in January 2015, yet Senate Banking Committee Chairman Richard Shelby has let Landon's appointment languish for over a year. Zika Fight Starts to Bite Republicans Ahead of Mosquito Season BLOOMBERG POLITICS // STEVEN DENNIS Senate Republican leaders entered this week hoping to act quickly to fight the Zika virus, but ran into internal feuding and now face the prospect of political fallout in election battleground states like Florida. Talks with Democrats on an emergency spending package stalled and lawmakers now anticipate doing nothing before they leave on a one-week recess at the end of the week. Republican leaders say they will bring a bill to the Senate floor at some point as they continue to negotiate on the details, but it remains unclear when and how such a measure would advance. Republicans had been slow to address an Obama administration request in February for $1.9 billion to prevent a Zika outbreak, but evidence that the virus is spreading faster than originally feared has injected new urgency into the debate. McConnell: House moving first on Puerto Rico debt bill THE HILL // JORDAIN CARNEY Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Tuesday that the upper chamber will wait for the House to pass legislation on Puerto Rico's growing debt crisis as lawmakers struggle to reach a deal. "We're going to let the House go first on Puerto Rico. We know it needs to be dealt with, and we're in discussions with them about what ought to be done," he told reporters. His comments came after House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) told reporters earlier Tuesday that he doesn't think Congress will be able to pass legislation before a crucial deadline. The island territory is at risk of defaulting on a $422 million payment due May 1. Lawmakers are scheduled to leave town at the end of the week and won't return until May 9. 2016 Democrats Clinton decisively wins Democratic primaries in 4 states WASHINGTON POST // ABBY PHILLIP, JOHN WAGNER, AND ANNE GEARAN Hillary Clinton all but secured the Democratic nomination Tuesday after a long and bruising primary fight against rival Sen. Bernie Sanders, scoring decisive victories in four of five East Coast states to cast ballots. In the last big day of multiple contests before Democrats conclude their primary voting in June, Clinton won Pennsylvania, Maryland, Connecticut and Delaware, and Sanders won in tiny Rhode Island, the only state where independents could vote in the Democratic contest. Overall, Sanders picked up a fraction of the delegates awarded to Clinton. Pulling Away From Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton Is Turning to the Fall NEW YORK TIMES // AMY CHOZICK After months of trying to sideline an unexpectedly deft and well-financed liberal opponent, Hillary Clinton on Tuesday won a series of primaries that freed her to present herself as the de facto victor of the Democratic nomination fight and gave her the impetus to shift focus decisively toward the November election. Now all but certain to clinch the Democratic nomination, Mrs. Clinton will continue to face Mr. Sanders's criticism, but is expected to move swiftly to claim an early advantage against the leading Republican candidate, Donald J. Trump. Her advisers and allies say she will spend the coming weeks honing her message for the general election, and ramping up fund-raising efforts that have lagged in the face of Mr. Sanders's challenge. "With your help, we're going to come back to Philadelphia for the Democratic National Committee, with the most votes and the most pledged delegates," Mrs. Clinton told a crowd of 1,300 here after she took the stage to "Eye of the Tiger." "And we will unify our party to win this election and build an America where we can all rise together." Hillary Clinton projected to win Democratic primaries in Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware LOS ANGELES TIMES // EVAN HALPER Hillary Clinton was projected to win primaries in Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware, three of the five states voting Tuesday, as the Democratic front-runner seeks to build an insurmountable lead over rival Bernie Sanders. Clinton is expected to expand her lead of 275 pledged delegates when ballots are counted in the five Eastern states at stake. Sanders was the winner in Rhode Island, according to the Associated Press. Results were still pending in Connecticut. But the delegate haul from Pennsylvania and Maryland, the two largest states voting, could make it close to impossible for Sanders to catch up, even with voting on June 7 in the biggest prize of the campaign, California. Polls show he faces an uphill race there as well. Hillary Clinton Wins Three States, Bernie Sanders Takes Rhode Island WALL STREET JOURNAL // PETER NICHOLAS Hillary Clinton swept to primary victories over rival Sen. Bernie Sanders in Pennsylvania and Maryland Tuesday night, winning the two largest prizes of the evening and also capturing Delaware in a showing that makes her the all-but-certain Democratic presidential nominee. Mrs. Clinton's chief task now shifts from winning more states to unifying a fractured party and persuading Sanders supporters to coalesce behind her. A likely first step is turning down the rhetorical temperature, giving Mr. Sanders's supporters space to move in her direction. Meanwhile, Mr. Sanders pulled off a win in Rhode Island, and results in Connecticut were still being tallied into the evening, with preliminary results there suggesting a close race. Hillary Clinton moves closer to nomination with wins in three states THE GUARDIAN // DAVID SMITH Hillary Clinton appears to be within touching distance of the Democratic nomination after three victories in Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware set her up for a dominant night in Tuesday's primary elections. Maryland, called by the Associated Press moments after polls closed at 8pm eastern time, was the first of a convincing night. And 38 minutes later, Delaware followed - Clinton's margin there was a comprehensive 59%-39%. Pennsylvania was also called for Clinton at 9.01pm - with one third of the votes counted, she was 57%-42% ahead of Bernie Sanders. In Connecticut, with 48% of the votes in, Sanders led by 49% to 48%. An Obama-friendly electorate delivers a big win for Hillary Clinton in Maryland WASHINGTON POST // EMILY GUSKIN More than six in 10 Maryland Democratic voters on Tuesday said they wanted the next president to continue President Obama's policies, according to preliminary exit polling. That's far more than the 54 percent average across contests so far this year. Meanwhile, just 23 percent said they preferred more liberal policies -- less than the 30 percent average so far. The numbers suggest a friendly electorate for Hillary Clinton, whose campaign has stressed that she will fight to maintain Obama's policies - whereas Sanders has pressed a more liberal agenda and criticized Obama at times for not pushing things far enough to the left. Bernie Sanders is right: poor people don't vote and it's a problem THE GUARDIAN // LUCIA GRAVES Bernie Sanders said something he wasn't supposed to say: that poor people don't vote. Although it's true that voter turnout is inversely correlated with income, all anyone wanted to comment on was that Sanders looked defensive and deflated on Meet the Press, where he made the statement on Sunday. Lost was the fact that this is a truth we should be struck by, ashamed of even, and should do more about. The impolitic remark came in response to a question about why the candidate had been losing so much in the places he should have been winning (he's lost 16 of the 17 states with the highest levels of income inequality). The most straightforward thing for him to say would be to acknowledge that he hasn't performed well with minority voters who tend to be less affluent. But he didn't want to say that on television. Instead, he decided to talk about something else that's actually more important than where he, personally, is up or down. He said: "Poor people don't vote. I mean, that's just a fact. That's a sad reality of American society". He also noted that "80% of poor people did not vote" in the 2014 election. 2016 Republicans The parallel universe where Cruz is beating Trump POLITICO // KYLE CHENEY AND KATIE GLUECK Donald Trump has earned more than 9 million votes in the Republican primary and amassed a lead that puts him on the brink of clinching the GOP nomination. But in the shadow contest for the delegates to a contested national convention, he's getting obliterated by Ted Cruz. It's halftime in the hustle for loyal convention delegates. By the weekend, more than 1,300 will have been elected in county, state or congressional district elections or selected by local Republican leaders. So far, Cruz has consistently dominated these contests, securing slots for hundreds of loyalists to the convention in Cleveland in July. Trump, on the other hand, has consistently flopped. Voters in Eastern Seaboard primaries embrace Trump WASHINGTON POST // PHILIP RUCKER AND JOSE A. DELREAL Donald Trump rolled to crushing victories Tuesday in primaries across the Eastern Seaboard, substantially expanding the divisive mogul's delegate lead and narrowing the chances for his opponents to stop his march to the Republican presidential nomination. Trump was projected to win all five of the states holding contests - Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island - by decisive, double-digit margins. Tuesday's rout was an embarrassing and potentially debilitating blow for Trump's nearest rival, Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas. Cruz finished a distant third in at least three of the states, behind Ohio Gov. John Kasich as well as Trump. Trump sweeps five states, moves closer to Republican nomination REUTERS // LUCIANA LOPEZ Donald Trump swept primaries in five Northeastern states on Tuesday, moving closer to winning the Republican presidential nomination as he easily defeated rivals Ted Cruz and John Kasich. Trump scored victories in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Delaware, U.S. television networks projected. His margin of victory in each state appeared to be even larger than in his home state of New York a week ago, a major show of strength that sets the stage for a potentially pivotal battle next week in Indiana. Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton, already in control of the Democratic race, defeated challenger Bernie Sanders in Maryland, Delaware and Pennsylvania. But in a surprise, Sanders was projected to have won Rhode Island. Connecticut's Democratic vote was too close to call. Trump's big sweep: Why a winner's aura matters more than math FOX NEWS // HOWARD KURTZ Presidential campaigns are about media, math and momentum. But in the wake of Donald Trump's five-state sweep in the Northeast yesterday, it's time to add another measure. And that is psychology. Which may be his biggest advantage. By adding Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, Connecticut and Rhode Island to his New York landslide, Trump is clearly riding a wave of momentum and positive media coverage. Poll: Trump Reaches 50 Percent Support Nationally for the First Time MSNBC // HANNAH HARTIG Donald Trump has reached 50 percent support from Republicans and Republican-leaners nationally for the first time since the beginning of the NBC News|SurveyMonkey Weekly Election Tracking Poll in late December. This milestone is significant as the 2016 primary heads into its final few weeks of contests, as there has been intense speculation that Trump's support has a ceiling. Though his support has hovered in the high 40s since mid-March, the front-runner had yet to secure half of Republican voters. These results are according to the latest NBC News|SurveyMonkey Weekly Election Tracking poll conducted online from April 18 to April 24 of 10,707 adults aged 18 and over, including 9,405 registered voters. Donald Trump Calls on Ted Cruz and John Kasich to Drop Out of the Race TIME MAGAZINE // OLIVIA WAXMAN TIME 100 honoree Donald Trump said fellow Republican presidential candidates Ted Cruz and John Kasich "should drop out" of the race, shortly before it was announced that he'd swept the primaries in Connecticut, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Rhode Island. "They should drop out, because frankly they have no path to victory," Trump said on the red carpet at the TIME 100 gala on Tuesday night. His comments come after Cruz and Kasich announced that they are teaming up to stop the real estate mogul from reaching the 1,237 delegates necessary to cinch the GOP nomination. Ted Cruz Needs Indiana to Be Like Wisconsin WALL STREET JOURNAL // REID EPSTEIN For Ted Cruz to stop Donald Trump from seizing the Republican presidential nomination, he must replicate his Wisconsin victory in Indiana, another Midwestern state with similar demographics and population. But even with Ohio Gov. John Kasich's ceding Indiana to him as part of a nonaggression pact, it's a tall hurdle. Mr. Cruz has none of the structural advantages he enjoyed in Wisconsin, where the GOP governor and conservative talk-radio hosts backed him to block Mr. Trump. Indiana's most respected Republican voices have stayed neutral, and local conservative media haven't picked sides ahead of the May 3 vote. Trump starts spending to end Cruz in Indiana POLITICO // SHANE GOLDMACHER Despite landslide victories on Tuesday, Donald Trump still needs to win Indiana - and he's starting to act like it. The frugal Manhattan mogul has begun opening his wallet for the air war, spending more than $900,000 on TV and radio ads. He's working the inside game, wooing Gov. Mike Pence one-on-one in what multiple Indiana insiders said appears to have been a successful effort to keep the governor on the endorsement sidelines. And Trump's new campaign strategist Paul Manafort has been telling Republican officials, multiple people told POLITICO, that Trump is in the midst of doubling the ground team there, with plans to balloon his in-state operation to 40 people. Ted Cruz recreates scene from 'Hoosiers' in Indiana, refers to 'basketball ring' WASHINGTON POST // PETER STEVENSON Basketball is a big deal in Indiana. It's the state where Larry Bird grew up shooting jump shots into a basket mounted on his garage. Where cornfields are broken up only by county roads, farmhouses and the occasional worn-down hoop. It's home to some of the country's largest high school gyms - the New Castle Fieldhouse seats almost 10,000 people -- more than Duke's Cameron Indoor Stadium. And the state university's basketball team is tied for fourth on the list of most NCAA men's basketball championships. (That's IU, not Purdue. Sorry, Boilermakers.) So perhaps it's not a huge surprise that two Republican presidential contenders who really want to win the Hoosier state's winner-take-most primary on May 3 are going all-in on basketball-related pandering. Cruz braces for another tough primary night, tries likening Trump to Clinton WASHINGTON POST // SEAN SULLIVAN Ted Cruz delivered a speech here Tuesday night dedicated to turning the page on what was expected to be another very difficult primary day for him and looking ahead to his colossal showdown with Donald Trump here next Tuesday. In a speech timed to get ahead of voting results in five Eastern states where Trump was expected to add to his delegate lead, the Texas senator took sharp aim at his Republican presidential rival, tying him repeatedly to Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton. Cruz accused Trump of standing with Clinton on a litany of policy and political fronts and said in jest that Clinton has tapped Trump as his running mate. Editorials/Op-Eds Voting Rights Lose in North Carolina NEW YORK TIMES // EDITORIAL BOARD Late Monday, a federal district judge upheld one of the most regressive and restrictive voting laws in the country - a 2013 North Carolina law that eliminated same-day voter registration and preregistration for 16- and 17-year-olds; cut back on early voting by a week; barred counting votes cast outside voters' home precincts; and required voters to show identification at the polls. State lawmakers said these changes were necessary to reduce fraud and inefficiency in elections - though there is no evidence of voter fraud to combat or inefficiency to cure. The Justice Department, the American Civil Liberties Union, the N.A.A.C.P. and the Advancement Project, among others, sued on the grounds that the law illegally discriminates against minority voters. Donald Trump's Success Carries Lessons for Democrats, Too NEW YORK TIMES // EDITORIAL BOARD As primary voters went to the polls in five Northeastern states today, it seems long ago that Mitt Romney went on TV to say, "If we Republicans choose Donald Trump as our nominee, the prospects for a safe and prosperous future are greatly diminished." In that March 3 speech, Mr. Romney advanced a plan to deprive Mr. Trump of the votes he needs to win the Republican presidential nomination without a convention fight in July. Mr. Romney proposed that the candidate in the best position to beat Mr. Trump in each state should run unimpeded by other contenders. After losing in New York, Senator Ted Cruz and Gov. John Kasich seemed ready to embrace this idea. Late Sunday they announced that Mr. Cruz would run hard in Indiana's May 3 primary, and Mr. Kasich, though he was favored in suburbs surrounding Indianapolis, would stand down in that state. Mr. Kasich, in turn, would focus on beating Mr. Trump in New Mexico and Oregon, unimpeded by Mr. Cruz. But within hours, they backed away, as Mr. Cruz's campaign quietly told supporters not to engage in "tactical voting," and Mr. Kasich said that although he wouldn't hold rallies, he'd still attend a fund-raiser and meetings with Republican leaders in Indiana. Restoring sanity to the debate over transgender bathroom use WASHINGTON POST // EDITORIAL BOARD "I DIDN'T ask to be this way. All I want to do is be a normal child and use the restroom in peace." That's what 16-year-old Grimm told the Gloucester County (Va.) School Board last year as it debated whether to bar the transgender student from using the boys' restrooms. His appeal for personal dignity didn't seem to matter. Nor did the fact that he had been using the boys' bathrooms without incident until some adults in the community got riled up about the issue. So a federal appellate ruling in his favor was a welcome development that will help to advance protections for the rights of transgender people.

The email message from Jeff is a fake, a lie designed to demonize Jim Ramm and cover up his theft of my website www.nukeisrael.com. Contrary to certain rumors I don't plan to join with Bil White or any other group at this time. __________________________________________________Do You Yahoo!?Tired of spam? Yahoo!

The research teams at DNC and HFA are going to join forces on media monitoring starting Monday morning. Corinne can tell you more, but basically this means you will be getting national TV clips in real time and we won't have to send around the articles about Trump ourselves. Our inboxes may get a bit more hairy but comms and text research will be relieved of a chunk of the media monitoring work which is GREAT! The video team will be even busier so buy them beer, donuts, bagles.... Let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Corinne will give more thorough information/instructions on Monday.


"; type="multipart/alternative" MIME-Version: 1.0 Return-Path: MirandaL@dnc.org Friends, ahead of tomorrow's electoral contests I wanted to make sure you saw this memo from this weekend from the Co-Chairs of the DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee with an update with where we are and how our process works. [Macintosh HD:Users:meenayi:Documents:DEPARTMENTS:DIGITAL:MISC:LETTERHEAD_TEMPLATES:circle_d_blue-01.png] TO: Interested Parties FROM: Lorraine Miller and Jim Roosevelt, Jr., Co-Chairs of the DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee REGARDING: An Overview of the Democratic Delegate Selection Process DATE: April 22, 2016 2016 CYCLE OVERVIEW Democrats are excited about the 2016 Democratic primary election season, and that's because we have strong candidates who are dedicated to solving the issues that matter most to Americans. Voters are eager to cast their vote for the next Democratic presidential nominee and participate in the Democratic delegate selection process in their state. Our process aims to uphold our Party's values of inclusivity, diversity, and transparency. Here is the Democratic delegate selection process by the numbers: * 4,765 = total number of Democratic delegates as of today * 4,051 = total number of pledged Democratic delegates * 714 = total number of unpledged delegates * 2,383 = number of delegate votes needed to win the Democratic nomination as of today * 57 = the number of presidential nominating contests PROCESS DEVELOPMENT The DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee (RBC) reviews the Delegate Selection Rules prior to each presidential election year. While the general structure of the Democratic delegate selection process has been in place since 1972, the Committee, over the course of many public meetings, reflects on the delegate selection process of the previous cycle and updates the Rules accordingly. The RBC met five times in 2014 in order to finalize the Delegate Selection Rules for the 2016 cycle, which were then shared with the 57 state and territory Democratic parties. In May of 2015, each party submitted their Delegate Selection Plan to the RBC. These plans were subsequently reviewed by the Committee to ensure compliance with the DNC's Delegate Selection Rules during the summer of 2015 at three public meetings, attended by press, presidential campaigns, and other interested parties, held on June 26, July 24 and August 27. In partnership with the RBC, DNC staff, and presidential campaigns, state parties work to implement their Delegate Selection Plans starting in September of 2015 until the process draws to a close. While state and territory parties are the drivers of their process, the creation and implementation of their Plans are governed by the DNC's Delegate Selection Rules, the Call for the Convention, and the Regulations of the Rules and Bylaws Committee. These materials provide states and territories with the guidance that ensures fundamental values of the Democratic Party-such as a commitment to diversity and participation of all eligible voters-are upheld throughout this process. For example, each state and territory party solicits public comment on their Plan for no less than 30 days to allow for input from constituents, making the drafting of the Delegate Selection Plan a democratic process. Additionally, each state is required to develop and implement an extensive affirmative action and inclusion outreach plan. The state and territory parties as well as presidential campaigns are tasked with conducting widespread outreach and recruitment to encourage Democrats of all backgrounds to run to be delegates. Our Party believes that our convention should look like America, and state and territory parties and campaigns are responsible for striving to meet that diversity goal. THE REPUBLICAN DELEGATE SELECTION PROCESS VERSUS THE DEMOCRATIC PROCESS Some stark differences between the Democrats' delegate selection process and the Republican's delegate selection process were mentioned in the previous section, but that's not where the differences end. Outlined below are some major differences between our process and that of the Republicans: * A commitment to diversity and equal representation of men and women * The solicitation of input from the public during the creation of a state's Delegate Selection Plan * The transparent development of our Rules * Proportional allocation of pledged delegates to presidential candidates based on the results of the state's primary or caucus o Unlike the Republicans, we do not allow for "winner-take all" outcomes, meaning that the candidate who wins the majority vote in a state does not win all of the state's delegates. o Instead, presidential candidates who break threshold, which is 15% in all states, are allocated delegates proportional to the percentage of the vote that they won in the primary or caucus. o Delegates must affirm in writing that they are bona fide supporters of the candidates that they are representing in the delegation and are subject to review by each campaign. o We believe that this is the fairest way to reflect the intention of Democratic voters and to mirror the results at each step in the delegate selection process in the states. * Delegates elected in the states are pledged not bound, meaning that they are required only to represent in good faith those who elected them. UNPLEDGED DELEGATES An often discussed feature of the Democratic delegate selection process is the unpledged delegates, also referred to as "superdelegates." These individuals serve by virtue of the elected office that they hold, and they include: * Democratic Governors * Democratic Members of Congress * Distinguished Party Leaders (such as former presidents and former leaders in the Senate and the House) * DNC Members We ensure these leaders have a voice in our convention, and their existence as a separate group means that interested voters don't have to run against elected officials in order to attend the Democratic National Convention. Unpledged delegates are also distinguished by the fact that they are not pledged to a presidential candidate based on the results of their state's primary or caucus and instead exercise their best judgment when selecting a presidential candidate to support. Concerns that unpledged delegates may change the outcome of the election are historically unfounded-unpledged delegates have never changed the outcome of an election since unpledged delegates were established over 30 years ago. Like pledged delegates, unpledged delegate cast one vote, which carries the same weight as the vote of any other delegate. There have been recent reports of harassment or mistreatment of state parties who are managing the process in their state and unpledged delegates. This does not reflect the values of this process and our great Party. State Parties are working year round to elect Democrats at every level and are the foundation of our Party. Unpledged delegates have been a feature of our process for many decades and will continue to play a role. We encourage all interested parties, including presidential candidates and members of the press and public, to learn all about their state's process. It is important that our process is open, transparent, and maximizes participation. Each state plan has undergone a rigorous review process to ensure compliance with our Rules, and changing Rules midway through the cycle would lead to confusion among participants in the delegate selection process, unnecessary costs to state parties, and inconsistent standards for states to abide by. Our Party spends years preparing for each presidential election cycle, and we believe that our process is designed to best position our Party and our eventual nominee for victory in the general election in November. We are looking forward to the Democratic National Convention in July where our delegates will cast their vote for the next President of the United States. ---- [SigDems] Luis Miranda, Communications Director Democratic National Committee 202-863-8148 - MirandaL@dnc.org - @MiraLuisDC

Dear All, Thanks very much for the helpful discussion on these issues. I write to make a point that may not be well recognized regarding the character of the temperature trends in the lowermost stratosphere/upper troposphere. I have already discussed this with Ben but want to share with others since I believe it is relevant to this controversy at least at some altitudes. The question I want to raise is not related to the very important dialogue on how to handle the errors and the statistics, but rather how to think about the models. The attached paper by Forster et al. appeared recently in GRL. It taught me something I didn't realize, namely that ozone losses and accompanying temperature trends at higher altitudes can strongly affect lower altitudes, through the influence of downwelling longwave. There is now much evidence that ozone has decreased significantly in the tropics near 70 mbar. What we show in the attached paper by Forster et al is that ozone depletion near 70 mbar affects temperatures not only at that level, but also down to lower altitudes. I think this is bound to be important to the tropical temperature trends at least in the 100-50 mbar height range, possibly lower down as well, depending upon the degree to which there is a 'substratosphere' that is more radiatively influenced than the rest of the troposphere. Whether it can have an influence as low as 200 mbar - I don't know. But note that having an influence could mean reducing the warming there, not necessarily flipping it over to a net cooling. This 'long-distance' physics, whereby ozone depletion and associated cooling up high can affect the thermal structure lower down, is not a point I had understood despite many years of studying the problem so I thought it worthwhile to point it out to you here. It has often been said (I probably said it myself five years ago) that ozone losses and associated cooling can't happen or aren't important in this region - but that is wrong. Further, the fundamental point made in the paper of Thompson and Solomon a few years back remains worth noting, and is, I believe, now resolved in the more recent Forster et al paper: that the broad structure of the temperature trends, with quite large cooing in the lowermost stratosphere in the tropics, comparable to that seen at higher latitudes, is a feature NOT explained by e.g. CO2 cooling, but now can be explained by the observed ozone losses. Exactly how big the tropical cooling is, and exactly how low down it goes, remains open to quantitative question and improvement of radiosonde datasets. But I believe the fundamental point we made in 2005 remains true: the temperature trends in the lower stratosphere in the tropics are, even with corrections, quite comparable to that seen at other latitudes. We can now say it is surely linked to the now-well-observed trends in ozone there. The new paper further shows that you don't have to have ozone trends at 100 mbar to have a cooling there, due to down-welling longwave, possibly lower down still. Whether enhanced upwelling is a factor is a central question. No global general circulation model can possibly be expected to simulate this correctly unless it has interactive ozone, or prescribes an observed tropical ozone trend. The AR4 models did not include this, and any 'discrepancies' are not relevant at all to the issue of the fidelity of those models for global warming. So in closing let me just say that just how low down this effect goes needs more study, but that it does happen and is relevant to the key problem of tropical temperature trends is one that I hope this email has clarified.

For Immediate Release May 5, 2016 Contact: DNC Press – 202-863-8148 AFT President Randi Weingarten & Rep. Mark Pocan Blast Trump's Effect On Schools: Trump Has Created Bullying Environment (Excerpts From DNC Media Call Below) "As teachers, we're going to have to work harder to help an entire generation of children recover from the hateful rhetoric that Trump has aimed at immigrants, Muslims and Black Lives Matter protestors." – Randi Weingarten Today, American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten and Representative Mark Pocan joined a DNC media call to discuss Teacher Appreciation Week and the disaster that Donald Trump would bring to the American education system. Below find excerpts from the call: American Federation of Teachers President, Randi Weingarten "There is a huge difference in the way that Democrats nurture, honor and are grateful for teachers compared to the presumptive nominee of the Republican Party. What we've seen with Donald Trump is that there is now a new phenomenon in schools called the 'Trump Effect'. Washington Post op-ed writer Petula Dvorak wrote about how it will take decades to overcome the way Donald Trump speaks and promotes violence, xenophobia and racism. This is creating bullying environments in schools across the country. "As teachers, we're going to have to work harder to help an entire generation of children recover from the hateful rhetoric that Trump has aimed at immigrants, Muslims and Black Lives Matter protestors. Donald Trump appeals to the worst elements in our country. It's not a surprise to me that Trump also does not respect teachers, or public education. Teachers are on the opposite side [of Trump], as we try to increase understanding and acceptance. "He has not just called for the elimination of the Department of Education, he has fleeced students with his fraudulent Trump University scheme—promising them a high-quality college degree but only delivering them a worthless degree, crippling debt and an uncertain future. "It's not a surprise that one of Trump's top surrogates, and possible running mates, is the infamous 'I want to punch teachers in the face' Chris Christie. Chris Christie as governor has been vehemently anti-teacher and anti-public education. "Your actions speak louder than words, and on Teacher Appreciation Week, we're seeing the presumptive nominee of the Republican Party doing things that will create great harm. Trump is creating a climate of bullying, instead of uniting students together. The leader of the GOP who is now pushing this cynical and feckless political strategy that exploits unfounded fears of immigrants, minorities, the poor and women in a way that is dividing the country, making our country a less civil place to be. […] "It's a disaster to our nation if Trump is selected president. He has already done tremendous damage to education…It's about creating an environment of scapegoating, demonizing, attacking and bullying. All of that is showing up on TV screens each night that is influencing children and behavior in schools. We have a responsibility to help children by promoting understanding and tolerance and celebrate diversity. What Trump is doing is the opposite. This is a very dangerous turn in American democracy." Representative Mark Pocan "As Democrats, we are proud to stand with teachers. Unfortunately this enthusiasm isn't shared on the other side of the aisle. As Randi said, Donald Trump has a history of attacks on education and teachers. He has called for teachers unions to be weakened, he has called for eliminating the department of Education, and he has sought to profit off of students trying to improve their futures through his fraudulent Trump University. "As Randi said, Trump's nomination was not an accident. Republican leaders paved the way for Donald Trump with their years of divisive rhetoric and obstructionist policies. Trump's recklessness would hurt our economy, diminish our standing in the world, and make our communities less safe. Trump is dangerous, and he lacks the judgment or temperament to be president. "And just like Republicans in Washington have done for years, Dangerous Donald is only looking out for himself. Again, look no further than his fraudulent Trump University as evidence. He fleeced thousands of Americans looking to get ahead for his own personal enrichment. "Trump owes everything to the tens of millions of dollars in loans and bailouts he received from his family. He does not understand the struggle that regular families face or what it takes for the average American to get ahead. His businesses have repeatedly gone bankrupt, leaving investors, contractors and small businesses holding the bag for his disastrous business decisions. Trump actually said at one of the Republican Party's debates that 'wages are too high' and opposed raising the minimum wage. On education and the economy, our country can't afford Donald Trump." ### To be automatically unsubscribed from this list, please email: dncrrmain-unsubscribe@dnc.org
