“Republicans would be going nuts if a #Democrat President were proposing to host the #G7 at their resort. This is corrupt,” tweeted Sanford. 

Weld and Walsh also criticized Trump over the Ukraine scandal in addition to the G-7 summit news.

“Between awarding the G-7 Summit to his own hotel & his acting chief of staff’s ‘Get over it’ admission that @realDonaldTrump withheld funds from Ukraine for his own political purposes, we have a POTUS wearing his abuses of power on his sleeve and daring us to stop him,” Weld wrote.

“The Mick Mulvaney I knew would’ve abhorred this G-7/Doral corruption. Then again, the Mick Mulvaney I knew cared about the debt & deficits when Obama was President,” Walsh tweeted.

“He just announced that foreign governments must put $ in his pockets to attend next year’s G-7. He admitted to a quid pro quo with Ukraine. He acknowledged telling China & Ukraine to interfere in our elections. Republicans, will you say nothing? Have you no sense of decency?” he added. 

 

Mulvaney on Thursday also linked Trump’s withholding of aid to Ukraine to investigations into the 2016 election. 

When asked if there was a quid pro quo involved in the release of aid to Ukraine, Mulvaney said, “I have news for everybody. Get over it. There’s going to be political influence in foreign policy … that’s going to happen. Elections have consequences.”

House Democrats have launched an impeachment probe into Trump’s dealings with Ukraine. 

Walsh, Sanford and Weld have an uphill battle, as Trump has seen broad support from Republicans in the polls. A few state Republican parties have also canceled their primaries in support of Trump. 

Sanders releases plan to legalize marijuana, ensure ex-convicts benefit from it

Sen. Bernie SandersBernie SandersThe Hill’s 12:30 Report: Milley apologizes for church photo-op Harris grapples with defund the police movement amid veep talk Biden courts younger voters — who have been a weakness MORE (I-Vt.) on Thursday introduced a plan to legalize marijuana and also expunge the records of people with marijuana-related convictions.

“We’re going to legalize marijuana and end the horrifically destructive war on drugs,” Sanders said in a statement. “It has disproportionately targeted people of color and ruined the lives of millions of Americans.”

“When we’re in the White House, we’re going to end the greed and corruption of the big corporations and make sure that Americans hit hardest by the war on drugs will be the first to benefit from legalization,” he added.

The plan involves taking executive action to declassify marijuana as a controlled substance and ensure that those affected by its criminalization are the first to benefit from the move.

It also calls for a $10 billion grant program through the U.S. Department of Agriculture to invest in rural and urban farms and growing operations.

“Sanders’ proposal will also ensure that the legal marijuana industry does not turn into the big tobacco industry and he will tame the reckless greed of giant corporations,” the statement reads.

“Bernie will prohibit products and labels … that target young people, ban tobacco companies from participating in the legal marijuana industry, and will partner with USDA to establish safety inspection and quality control processes for growers and producers,” it continues.

The plan further calls for investing revenues from legal marijuana into communities most affected by the war on drugs and funding a $20 billion grant program through the Minority Business Development Agency that would provide grants both to people of color who face discrimination in capital access and people convicted of marijuana offenses.

It would also eliminate regulations that allow marijuana use to disqualify people from public benefits or public housing and ensure a marijuana-related record could not disqualify immigrants. Sanders’s plan also calls for franchise caps to prevent monopolies or profiteering.

The survey is among a series of recent polls showing Warren leading the field in Iowa. A RealClearPolitics average of polls showed the senator ahead of the former vice president by an average of 5 percentage points Friday morning. 

Buttigieg’s rise in the poll puts him much closer to the front-runners in Iowa than in national polls. He is in fourth place in the nationwide RealClearPolitics average of polls, trailing Sanders by 9 points.

Biden said in an MSNBC interview this week that he plans to do “very well” in Iowa and New Hampshire amid questions as to whether he can win the early caucus and primary states. 

“I plan on doing very well in both those,” he said Tuesday. “I’ve been ahead in Iowa. I’ve been ahead in South Carolina. I’m ahead in all the national polls with the occasional one that pops up that’s different.”

Researchers surveyed 439 likely Iowa Democratic caucusgoers from Oct. 25 to 30.

The Iowa caucuses are just more than three months away, taking place on Feb. 3.

More than a dozen people are vying for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination.

Michelle Obama unveils all-star lineup for 2020 get-out-the-vote push

Former first lady Michelle ObamaMichelle LeVaughn Robinson ObamaThe Hill’s Morning Report – Treasury, Fed urge more spending, lending to ease COVID-19 wreckage Budowsky: Michelle Obama or Tammy Duckworth for VP Michelle Obama urges class of 2020 to couple protesting with mobilizing, voting MORE is revealing her new celeb-packed “voting squad” aimed at encouraging Americans to head to the polls in 2020.

“Last year, we went big. Millions of new voters made their voices heard for the first time. Now the stakes are even higher,” Obama says in a video released Thursday as part of her When We All Vote campaign.

“That’s why I’ve been reaching out to some friends to expand my voting squad for the year ahead,” she adds in the clip, released almost exactly a year before the 2020 presidential election.

The star-studded video features some big names, including Tom Hanks, “Hamilton’s” Lin-Manuel Miranda, mega TV producer Shonda Rhimes, soccer pro Megan Rapinoe and singers Faith Hill, Selena Gomez and Janelle Monáe.

“It all starts with you. You’re the only person that can have that conversation with your family and your friends and your girlfriends and even with your community to get them registered and ready to vote,” the celebrities tell viewers.

Also featured in the video: “Black-ish’s” Tracee Ellis Ross, Rita Wilson, YouTube star Liza Koshy and NBA player Chris Paul.

The 55-year-old former first lady originally kicked off the get-out-the-vote push in July of last year, ahead of the midterm elections. When it launched, organizers said the initiative from the nonpartisan nonprofit was to “start a conversation on the responsibilities that we all have in shaping our country’s future through the ballot box.”

With this year’s effort, When We All Vote said in a news release, the group “is calling on Americans to organize their own squads, volunteer groups aimed at getting friends, family, classmates and community registered and ready to vote.”

In the latest video, Rapinoe tells viewers, “It’s up to you to change the game.”

“Because when we squad up,” actress Kerry Washington says, “we can change the world.”

HHH TakeOver audio: Release requests, Adam Cole, Gargano update

WWE COO Paul “Triple H” Levesque held his traditional pre-NXT TakeOver conference call Wednesday morning and answered several interesting questions including one about talents asking for releases.

When asked by Jason Powell about wrestlers going to social media, Levesque said he hoped talent would talk to management instead of going to the media and social media to air their issues. He said that people get frustrated in the moment and say things they later would like to take back. “It’s a maturity issue and not how you handle it. You handle your business like a professional.”

He also answered questions about whether Adam Cole was considered for a three-way title match against Brock Lesnar and The Fiend for Survivor Series, how the creative teams are working together through this three-way brand storyline, an update on Johnny Gargano’s health, and whether he had any interest in being the fourth man on Tommaso Ciampa’s team at War Games.
