TAKING ON 'THE CRAZIES'

President Obama promises to take on “the crazies” this fall.

“At a Democratic fundraiser Monday night in Nevada, Obama declared himself ready for the challenges he faces this fall … Obama said that as he’d ridden to the fundraiser with Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid, they’d done some reminiscing and spent some time ‘figuring out how we are going to deal with the crazies in terms of managing some problems.'”

Politico: House Republican leaders want to prevent a government shutdown but don’t know how.

“House GOP leaders would rather use’s Congress’ broad investigative powers to build an overwhelming case against the group, which they believe would allow them to hammer Planned Parenthood for months and put Democrats under enormous pressure to turn against the women’s health organization. But conservatives … see the fight over Planned Parenthood’s money as one of the top legislative priorities of 2015 … And conservatives seem unafraid to shut down the government to achieve their objective — though they say that’s not their goal.”
