Alabama GOP nominee Roy Moore is polling 12 points behind his Democratic opponent Doug Jones in the wake of allegations that Moore had initiated a sexual encounter with a minor, according to a poll from the Senate GOP’s campaign arm.
The National Republican Senatorial Committee’s (NRSC) poll, which was obtained by The Hill, found that Jones was leading Moore by a double-digit margin, 51 to 39 percent. The polling was conducted the day after The Washington Post reported on the allegations.
The survey also found that Moore’s favorability has dropped to 35 percent, compared to an NRSC poll from October that had him at 49 percent. Politico first reported about the poll.

Moore’s polling lead and favorability have declined since the two NRSC polls conducted prior to the allegations. Surveys from early October and early November had the former state Supreme Court chief justice leading by 16 points and 9 points, respectively.
The release of the poll comes days after the NRSC removed its name from a joint fundraising committee that would help fundraise for Moore with other GOP groups ahead of the Dec. 12 special election.
In the days since the allegations, some public polls have found Jones closing the gap with Moore and some other surveys showed him in the lead.
Past polls conducted by the NRSC, before the allegations, found Moore easily leading by double digits.
Moore has repeatedly denied the allegations, saying he’s staying in the race. But more Republicans, including leadership, have called on him to withdraw.

Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) is “seriously” considering the 2020 presidential race, according to confidants.
“He’s given me every indication that he’s taking it seriously,” said one McAuliffe friend who has spoken to him about his 2020 prospects. “I don’t think he’s 100 percent decided that this is something he’s planning to do but it is something he’s seriously considering.”

“Whether he pulls the trigger or not, that remains to be seen,” the friend added.

McAuliffe could successfully talk about his track record as governor of Virginia, a purple state, former aides and associates say. But should he decide to run, the governor would face some obstacles.
For starters — his close ties to Bill and Hillary ClintonHillary Diane Rodham ClintonWhite House accuses Biden of pushing ‘conspiracy theories’ with Trump election claim Biden courts younger voters — who have been a weakness Trayvon Martin’s mother Sybrina Fulton qualifies to run for county commissioner in Florida MORE.
On the heels of a disappointing loss in 2016, political observers say Democrats might want someone from outside of Clinton World in 2020.
And McAuliffe, who served as co-chairman of Bill ClintonWilliam (Bill) Jefferson ClintonWill the ‘law and order’ president pardon Roger Stone? Five ways America would take a hard left under Joe Biden The sad spectacle of Trump’s enablers MORE’s 1996 reelection campaign and chairman of Hillary Clinton’s 2008 campaign, would be labeled by rivals as a major part of the Clinton inner circle.
“I think that’s his biggest problem,” the friend said. “It will be so hard for him to thread the needle. Bill Clinton is his best friend and anyone who knows Terry knows he is a very, very loyal person. He would walk over coals for Bill Clinton, so I don’t think it’s a politically tenable position.”
Julian Zelizer, a professor of history and public affairs at Princeton University, agreed that his Clinton ties are problematic.
“I don’t think he is the way to go for the Democrats,” Zelizer said. “There is too much Clinton in him, and he doesn’t have the kind of fire power on the campaign trail people will need to really rally the base.”
Mo Elleithee, a former McAuliffe aide now serving as the director of Georgetown University’s Institute of Politics and Policy, said he did not believe the Clinton ties would be a problem for McAuliffe.
“I don’t know anyone who actually votes that way,” Elleithee said.
“Do I think anyone is going to look at these candidates and make a decision on their previous affiliations? I don’t think it helps or hurts. I don’t think anyone is going to factor that in one way or another,” he said.
Instead, he said McAuliffe “could make as compelling a case as anyone else based on his experience and his background.”
“He’s one of the nation’s most popular governors and has successfully governed in a purple state,” Elleithee said.
McAuliffe generally gets positive reviews in polls of Virginia voters.
A November survey by the conservative Rasmussen pollster found 46 percent of the state’s voters had a positive view of him, while 49 percent approved of his job as governor.
The governor’s allies say he can also point to Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam’s (D) victory in this year’s Virginia governor’s race — an election that observers say helps solidify McAuliffe’s legacy and proves he can take on Trump.
“It shows he has what it takes,” said one former aide. “It proves he could very well take on Trump and succeed.”
McAuliffe took to Twitter for a victory lap of sorts the night of Northam’s win.
“Great night for the Commonwealth of Virginia,” he wrote, adding that a “booming economy” was greater than
“fear and division.”
McAuliffe has tried to shy away from whether he’ll run in 2020.
Last month, in the run-up to Election Day he said he was aiming to finish his term as governor “as strong as I can.”
“He legitimately doesn’t know what he’ll do after he finishes his time in Richmond and shuts down any conversations around him about potential plans,” said a source close to McAuliffe. “Sure, people ask him about 2020, but he doesn’t even want to think about it now. When he says publicly that he wants to finish strong and then focus on helping governors races in 2018, he means it.”
McAuliffe’s office declined to comment for this story.
Others around McAuliffe say he’s doing what he needs to do to keep the possibility alive. They note that the governor has been weighing in on national issues and news of the day over the past year.
He was front and center — even appearing at Dulles International Airport — on Trump’s travel ban issue. And he also went after Trump again for the controversial pardoning of Sheriff Joe Arpaio in August, calling it a “bad decision.”
“His message has always been jobs, jobs, jobs,” said McAuliffe’s friend. “He hasn’t necessarily gone out on other national issues. I know a lot of people were thinking, ‘Why was he such a vocal voice on Arpaio?’ ”
Those who know McAuliffe say the answer is obvious.
“He’s been within tasting distance of a plum ambassadorship and a Cabinet post,” one former adviser said. “The one-term governorship wasn’t the end. He’s too young and the federal level remains his final frontier.”

Trump threw his full support behind Moore last week, but this is his most direct campaigning activity for the candidate. At a campaign rally in Pensacola, Fla., on Friday, Trump told his supporters in Alabama to vote for Moore in the Tuesday election.
“We need a Republican in the House, we need a Republican in the Senate. We need more of them,” he said Friday.

Moore, who is polling slightly ahead of Jones, has been accused by multiple women of sexual misconduct. The women said Moore pursued them as teenagers, including one who said that Moore touched her sexually when she was 14 and he was 32. Moore has denied the allegations.

Small increase in aid funding
Five areas of spending that fall outside the EU budget were included in last week’s budget deal. Together, they are worth €37 billion; by far the largest, with €27bn, is the European Development Fund, the EU’s main fund for aid to poor countries. (It is financed from the member states and managed by a special committee according to its own rules.) But this will grow by just €200 million against the current multi-annual budget, a rise of only 0.6% – despite the EU’s failure to meet its own goal of providing 0.7% of its gross national income for development aid.
In all, the off-budget items are set to decrease by 9.5%, or €3.9bn. The European Globalisation Fund and the Solidarity Fund will be slashed by more than 50%, while the Flexibility Instrument grows by 131%, or €1.9bn. These lines, unlike the EDF, are activated only when the need arises.

Women’s healthcare providers are readying for a fight. Refusing to back down from its commitment to women’s choice, Planned Parenthood is now at risk of losing nearly 40 percent of its funding—and is calling for a massive mobilization to resist the attack on women’s health.
Ahead of the official release of House Republicans’ the American Health Care Act (AHCA) on Monday evening—which guts funding for any healthcare organization that “provides for abortions”—Planned Parenthood reportedly rejected an offer from the White House to stop terminating pregnancies in exchange for the group to continue receiving federal funds for other essential services.
“Offering money to Planned Parenthood to abandon our patients and our values is not a deal that we will ever accept,” said Dawn Laguens, executive vice president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, according to the New York Times. “Providing critical health care services for millions of American women is non-negotiable.”
To be clear, Laguens added, the $500 million received annually in federal funds “do not pay for abortions,” as that is expressly prohibited by the anti-choice Hyde Amendment. Rather, the organization uses funding from Medicaid and the Title X family planning program to provide essential women’s health services such as birth control, Pap smears, breast exams, and testing for sexually transmitted infections.
The Times reported Monday that an informal offer had been made via “outreach to allies of Planned Parenthood” as a way for President Donald Trump to save face with conservatives while, at the same time, reconciling campaign promises to support women’s preventative care as well as “the views of his daughter Ivanka Trump,” who has “nudge[d] Mr. Trump toward a nuanced view of Planned Parenthood’s work.”
According to the reporting, “In private discussions with people close to Planned Parenthood, White House officials have suggested that there could even be an increase in federal earmarks if the work related to abortion ends.”
In a statement on Tuesday, Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards doubled-down on the organization’s position. “We are glad that the White House understands that taking away the preventive care Planned Parenthood provides is deeply unpopular and would be a disaster for women’s health care,” she said.
But, Richards added: “We will always stand for women’s ability to make decisions about their health and lives, without interference from politicians in Washington, D.C..”
In renewing the group’s commitment to women’s choice, Planned Parenthood is now at risk of losing a significant portion of its operating budget, as do other providers of women’s reproductive care, thanks to a provision tucked into the GOP’s healthcare plan.

As the Los Angeles Times‘ Michael Hiltzik explains, under the newly-released bill,
It is worth noting that ahead of the bill’s release, some Republican lawmakers voiced concern over tying the plan to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, with an unpopular defunding effort.
According to earlier data from the Government Accountability Office, as many as 390,000 women would lose access and up to 650,000 would face reduced preventive care within a year if Congress blocked Medicaid patients from Planned Parenthood.
“This would effectively block patients who rely on federally subsidized health care―about 60 percent of Planned Parenthood’s 2.5 million patients―from choosing Planned Parenthood for their healthcare,” wrote the Huffington Post‘s Laura Bassett on Monday. “And by rendering the family planning provider unable to serve more than half its patients, the bill would likely force some of its clinics to shut down.”
What’s more, Hiltzik notes that the ACHA “forbids spending federal tax subsidies on health plans that include coverage of abortion, even if the customer doesn’t get an abortion. This would dramatically shrink working Americans’ access to insurance-covered abortions, or would lead to insurers dropping abortion coverage from their plans, or both.”
With so much at stake, Planned Parenthood is calling for a multi-step mobilization to fight back against the war on women’s healthcare.
“Our opponents have shown just how determined they are to cut Planned Parenthood patients off from care, and they won’t give in easily,” Richards wrote in a Tuesday call-to-action. “But the past few weeks have also proven that we are powerful when we stand together, and speaking out now is a critical first step.”
The organization is urging supporters to sign a petition calling on Congress to stand with Planned Parenthood and then follow up with calls to their representatives.
And, Richards added, there will be more to do. “In the days and weeks to come, we will rely on your commitment and your courage,” she wrote. “We won’t win this fight in a day—but if we’re going to win, it has to start right here.”

A leaked draft of a House bill to replace the Affordable Care Act (ACA) was published Friday by Politico, and it reveals that Republicans are moving towards slashing subsidies and ending the Medicaid expansion—moves that are vastly out of step with the opinions of the American public.
The draft (pdf) reveals that Republicans are hoping to “take down the foundation of Obamacare, including the unpopular individual mandate, subsidies based on people’s income, and all of the law’s taxes. It would significantly roll back Medicaid spending and give states money to create high risk pools for some people with pre-existing conditions. Some elements would be effective right away; others not until 2020,” per Politico‘s Paul Demko.
The bill would also eradicate the Medicaid expansion that some states enacted when the ACA was first passed in 2010. This means that states that took advantage of federal funds to expand Medicaid would no longer have access to such funds.
Echoing state-level GOP attempts to withhold funds from Planned Parenthood, the law also appears to explicitly ban federal funding for the women’s health organization, Business Insider notes: “Under the bill, no funding from the federal government given to the states could be given to any organization that ‘provides abortions’ except in the cases of rape, incest, or the life of the mother.”
Moreover, the legislation would help private insurance companies profit even more than they already do, as it gives in to insurers’ desires to force elderly people to pay more for healthcare. It would “charge older customers up to five times as much as their younger counterparts,” Demko notes.
“The proposal also includes penalties for individuals who fail to maintain coverage continuously,” writes Demko. “If their coverage lapses and they decide to re-enroll, they would have to pay a 30 percent boost in premiums for a year.”
[block:block=30]
And instead of subsidies based on income to help low-income people afford costly premiums, the law would give tax credits based on age. A person under 30 would receive a tax credit of $2,000, while someone over 60 would receive double that amount. “A related document notes that HHS Secretary Tom Price wants the subsidies to be slightly less generous for most age groups,” Demko reports.

The subsidies will be funded by capping “the tax exemption for employer sponsored insurance at the 90th percentile of current premiums,” Demko notes, a plan similar to the proposed “Cadillac tax” pushed by President Barack Obama and opposed by unions and progressives nationwide.
Overall, the plan would cover fewer people than Obamacare—contrary to President Donald Trump’s promises. “We’re going to have insurance for everybody,” Trump told the Washington Post just last month. “There was a philosophy in some circles that if you can’t pay for it, you don’t get it. That’s not going to happen with us.”
In fact, the draft demonstrates that the Republican party is woefully out of step with public opinion when it comes to healthcare. The disparity was particularly noticeable as it was released on the same day as polls that showed support for the ACA has never been higher.

A Kaiser Family Foundation poll discovered that a stunning 84 percent of respondents want to keep the Medicaid expansion, and a Pew Research Center poll also revealed majority approval for the ACA for the first time in the law’s history. Earlier this week, a Politico poll also found support for the ACA growing.
The swelling support for the ACA has coincided with the looming fulfillment of the Republican Party’s long-touted promise to repeal and replace the law.
The disparities between the GOP’s plans and public sentiment, which has fueled tensions at Republican politicians’ town halls across the country, could also add urgency to “Hands Off Our Healthcare” rallies in support of publicly-funded healthcare happening nationwide Saturday.

Bayley did end up wrestling on tonight’s Clash of Champions, but was met by her former tag team partner following the match.
WWE explained on tonight’s pre-show that Nikki Cross, Bayley’s original opponent, would be unable to compete on tonight. Bayley came out and after quickly opening and closing the door on a potential replacement, insisted her hand be raised as the winner.
Asuka, who earlier in the show defeated Zelina Vega to retain the Raw Women’s championship, came out and attacked Bayley, leading to a short SmackDown Women’s championship match. Asuka won the match by DQ after Bayley struck Asuka in the back with a chair.

Bayley went on to continue attacking Asuka after the bell when Sasha Banks, wearing a neckbrace, returned and attacked Bayley with a steel chair of her own. Bayley got the upper hand at one point, introducing a kendo stick. Banks fought back, but Bayley managed to escape before Banks could use a steel chair.
In addition to Cross, both Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax were out of tonight’s show. Their match against The Riott Squad did not go on as scheduled.

The Trump administration on Friday filed papers to appeal a ruling that blocked the president’s revised travel ban, setting up a new legal showdown over the executive order that opponents have called “Muslim ban 2.0.”
Attorneys for the Department of Justice (DOJ) filed federal papers in Maryland, one of the two states that issued rulings against President Donald Trump’s executive order this week. Judges in that state and Hawaii both found that the memo, which blocks entry to the U.S. for travelers from six majority-Muslim countries, was unconstitutional and violated the religious freedom clause of the First Amendment.
The DOJ only appealed Maryland’s decision. Had the department challenged the ruling in Hawaii, the appeal would have gone to the same San Francisco court that rejected the original version of the travel ban.
Instead, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit in Richmond, Virginia will hear the new arguments.
SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT
William Jay, a former DOJ lawyer who specializes in appellate cases, told the Washington Post that another reason the administration is focusing on the Maryland decision is because it was a preliminary injunction, which is typically easier to appeal than temporary restraining orders, which the judge in Hawaii issued.
Omar Jadwat of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), who represents the plaintiffs in the Maryland case, said that the rights group looks forward to taking on the case.
“President Trump’s Muslim ban has fared miserably in the courts, and for good reason—it violates fundamental provisions of our Constitution. We look forward to defending this careful and well-reasoned decision in the appeals court,” he said.

House Intelligence Committee chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) got his intelligence information—divulged earlier this month at a bizarre briefing that set off a brand-new Capitol Hill firestorm—from two White House officials, the New York Times revealed Thursday.
Also Thursday, “the White House said…it was inviting the top-ranking lawmakers on the House and Senate intelligence committees to view materials it said had been uncovered in the course of looking into President Donald Trump’s claims he’d been surveilled by the Obama administration,” CNN reported.
Ranking committee member Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said the news raised “profound questions about just what the White House is doing.”
According to the Times, “Ezra Cohen-Watnick, the senior director for intelligence at the National Security Council (NSC), and Michael Ellis, a lawyer who works on national security issues at the White House Counsel’s Office and formerly worked on the staff of the House Intelligence Committee,” helped Nunes acquire reports “that showed that President Trump and his associates were incidentally swept up in foreign surveillance by American spy agencies.”
Nunes, who acknowledged this week that he’d secretly visited the White House grounds to view the documents, has refused to reveal where he got the information. He continued to do so through a spokesman on Thursday.
The Times cited “several current American officials” as its own sources.
White House press secretary Sean Spicer, meanwhile, dodged questions about the Times‘ report during Thursday’s briefing.
The Hill reports:
Spicer said the White House “has invited the chairmen and ranking members of the House and Senate intelligence committees to review new material potentially relevant to their investigations,” according to CNBC, which added: “He did not go into detail about what that information is.”
CNN adds that Schiff
Schiff asked as much in a letter sent Thursday afternoon to the White House.
Axios offers more information on Cohen-Watnick and Ellis:
- He was brought into the White House by now-fired National Security Advisor Michael Flynn. Politico reported earlier this month that Flynn’s replacement, Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster, attempted to move Cohen-Watnick to another position after the CIA “saw him as a threat,” but was overruled by Trump himself after Cohen-Watnick appealed to Steve Bannon and Jared Kushner.
- —his current titles include: special assistant to the President, senior associate counsel to the President, and deputy National Security Council legal advisor. He has a Nunes connection through his former position as general counsel to the House Intelligence Committee. The press release announcing his appointment to the White House stated that he is currently an intelligence officer in the Navy Reserve.
Of Thursday’s revelations, the Washington Post‘s Aaron Blake wrote: “Things just went from bad to worse for Devin Nunes and the White House.” The Times reporting, argued Blake, contradicts what both Nunes and the White House have said to the press over the past week.
“Nunes hasn’t said much about his sourcing,” Blake wrote, “but he has certainly suggested the only reason that he was on the White House grounds is because the information happened to be there and that it wasn’t something that was fed to him by parties interested in confirming Trump’s evidence-free claim that he was under surveillance during the 2016 election. The Times‘ report seriously calls that into question.”

Indeed, calls for Nunes to recuse himself from the congressional probe into Russian meddling in the 2016 election were already growing on Thursday afternoon:
Karen Hobart Flynn, president of the pro-democracy group Common Cause, in a statement charged the White House and Nunes (who served on the executive committee of Trump’s transition team) with “playing partisan games.”
“The White House is going to increasing and troubling lengths to influence and undermine the investigations of possible coordination between the Trump presidential campaign and the Russian government,” she said. “It is becoming disturbingly clear that the White House will do anything to try to change headlines President Trump doesn’t like.”
Calling for an independent commission to investigate collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government—and for House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) to remove Nunes from his chairmanship—Hobart Flynn continued: “Instead of taking the Russian interference in the 2016 election seriously, President Trump, White House staff, and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes are playing partisan games to try to distract Americans from the truth. It is absolutely inappropriate and unacceptable that a National Security Council staff member and an attorney from the White House Counsel’s Office would deliberately attempt to covertly influence and undermine a congressional investigation of Russian efforts to sway the 2016 presidential election.”

President Donald Trump drastically overstated job creation figures in a meeting with executives on Tuesday, taking credit for the creation of more than 600,000 jobs since he took office.
That’s hundreds of thousands—or at least tens of thousands—more than the true total, Politico reported.
“You see what’s going on. You see the numbers,” Trump said at the strategic and policy discussion at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building’s State Department Library.
“We’ve created over 600,000 jobs already in a very short period of time, and it’s gonna really start catching on now because some of the things that we’ve done are big league, and they are catching on. Already, we’ve created more than almost 600,000 jobs,” he said.

It’s unclear where the president got his figures.
According to the Labor Department, the U.S. added a combined 317,000 new jobs in February and March, the first two complete months under the Trump administration.
Even if the president could lay claim to the 216,000 jobs created in January—he took office on the 20th—that would still only add up to 533,000, well beneath his claim of 600,000.
