    Matt Gaetz money gets messy and Brian Fitzpatrick wants nothing to do with it

    U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), a big fan of Donald Trump, gave $2,000 last year to U.S. Rep Brian Fitzpatrick. (R-PA) Now Gaetz is under federal investigation and Fitzpatrick is giving away his money.

    A source familiar confirms @npfandos and @CatieEdmondson report that Gaetz legislative director Devin Murphy has resigned - 2nd person since DOJ investigation became public. The source was told that it was due to the DOJ investigation but also he was looking to leave before that

    Not a flat flat budget (up slightly from the $704B+ level this year) but still clocks in under the $722B projected in Trump’s last budget. Unlikely to please progressives who wanted cuts and defense hawks who want real growth — though they maybe settle for an inflation bump. https://t.co/pGHovorrIs

    The president’s first actions on gun regulations are modest, especially compared to his legislative record as a senator. He is announcing the rules from the Rose Garden.

    Four years ago, I met two extraordinary children. Ava was 7, from rural South Carolina. Tyshaun was 8, from Southeast DC. They didn't know each other or have much in common, but gun violence had ruined both of their lives. This is the story of how they became best friends. (1/) https://t.co/FIsN4rRmIW
