Ze hebben een Replace en Repeal bill aangenomen. De "mean" bill volgens Trump.

Daarna was er een feestje in de tuin van de White House enzo.

quote:

The Department of Housing and Urban Development is poised to reverse the Obama administration's policy and return to a competitive bidding process to award Section 8 housing, according to a well-placed source in the department.

The move would overturn the Obama-era methodology of using a grant-style process that was rebuked by administrators and ultimately the U.S. Supreme Court.

quote:

Section 8 housing is a federal program that pays rental assistance to landlords to help low-income people acquire affordable housing.

Because HUD had problems administering the program, in 1995 it started to contract out the management of Section 8 housing units through a competitive bidding process. However, in March of 2012, HUD suddenly shifted away from the competitive bidding process, and began using funding mechanisms which were more like grants.

quote:

Undeterred, HUD pressed forward with their choice, which then made them the target of a lawsuit. From that point, HUD lost an embarrassing string of rulings which culminated in the U.S. Supreme Court denying to hear an appeal from the agency in April of 2015.

Despite all those rulings, HUD didn't budge. But the Trump administration is now set to return to the previous methods

quote:

Peter Thiel, the billionaire cofounder of PayPal and one of President Trump’s few public supporters in Silicon Valley, has been privately expressing doubts about the administration, according to a new BuzzFeed report.

Though he has maintained support for the president in public, Thiel reportedly told colleagues behind closed doors that he thinks the administration has been “incompetent.”

“There is a 50% chance this whole thing ends in disaster,” he said of the administration at a private gathering in January, according to two BuzzFeed sources who were present.

In a statement to BuzzFeed, Thiel did not deny that he made the remarks, but reiterated his support for Trump.

"The night he won the election, I said President Trump would face an awesomely difficult task,” he said. "Today it's clear that resistance to change in Washington, D.C. has been even fiercer than I anticipated. We still need change. I support President Trump in his ongoing fight to achieve it.”
Thiel was one of Trump’s most generous campaign donors, an adviser on his transition team and a key liaison to a tech industry that has largely opposed the new president.

He helped organize a meeting between Trump and Silicon Valley leaders in December. He also attended another tech summit at the White House in June, where he told the president his "administration is doing very well.”

quote:

When President Trump ordered federal agencies to form teams to dismantle government regulations, the Transportation Department turned to people with deep industry ties.

One appointee had previously lobbied the department on behalf of American Airlines. Another held executive roles for several electric and hybrid car companies regulated by the department. A third was a lawyer who represented United Airlines in regulatory matters.

The three appointees have been identified by The New York Times and ProPublica in a continuing effort to track members of the deregulation teams. The appointments, previously unreported, follow a pattern identified by the two news organizations: By and large, the Trump administration has stacked the teams with political appointees, some of whom may be reviewing rules their former employers sought to weaken or kill.

A full vetting of industry connections has been difficult because some agencies have declined to provide information about the appointees — not even their names.

The lack of transparency has concerned several top Democratic members of Congress who serve on committees that oversee regulatory matters. In a letter to the White House on Monday, they called on the administration to release the names of all regulatory team members as well as documents relating to their potential conflicts of interest....

quote:

Loretta Lynch used the alias "Elizabeth Carlisle" for official emails as attorney general, including those related to her infamous tarmac meeting last summer with former President Clinton.

The emails were included in 413 pages of Justice Department documents provided to conservative watchdog groups Judicial Watch and American Center for Law and Justice.

Top federal officials using email aliases is not illegal or new, considering others in the former Obama administration also used them, arguing security concerns and spam to their official email addresses swamping their in-boxes.

quote:

It is not uncommon for Cabinet secretaries to use an email alias for security reasons, although the practice can make it more difficult for reporters to FOIA government documents.

Lynch’s predecessor, former attorney general Eric Holder used the alias “Lew Alcinder” — the birth name of basketball icon Kareem Abdul-Jabbar — for his emails.

Still, the revelation created a stir among media outlets on the right, where Lynch’s impromptu private meeting with former President Bill Clinton during the 2016 presidential campaign continues to be a source of intense speculation.
