WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans are pledging tough questioning of special counsel Robert Mueller when he testifies before Congress this week as Democrats plan to air evidence of wrongdoing by President Donald Trump in a potentially last-ditch bid to impeach him. Rep. Doug Collins, the top Republican on House Judiciary Committee, said the American public is growing weary of the Russia investigation three months after the release of the special counsel’s 448-page report and that “any thought of impeachment is waning.” He said Republicans will be focused on making clear that the report represents a “final episode” in the Russia probe, which he described as flawed. “Remember, the Mueller report is a one-sided report. It has not been questioned from the other side. This is our chance to do that,” Collins said. Days before back-to-back hearings Wednesday, both sides seemed to agree that Mueller’s testimony could be pivotal in shifting … [Read more...] about House Republicans vow tough questions of Mueller at hearing

With no framework yet for a federal privacy law, states that took the initiative to regulate online firms' use of personal data may end up providing models for Congress. Following the passage of the landmark California Consumer Privacy Act last year, bills were introduced in at least 25 states addressing different aspects of data privacy, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Illinois and Washington took the most comprehensive approach, while others considered piecemeal measures. “After California did their thing, privacy has been a hot topic of discussion,” said Hayley Tsukayama, a legislative analyst for the Electronic Frontier Foundation. “We didn’t see a lot of passage of those bills, but they did produce good discussion.” The push for more stringent privacy rules followed increased scrutiny of the way technology platforms sweep up data from users, analyze, and sell it — as well as how they safeguard it or fail to. A tipping … [Read more...] about California data-privacy law may become the model for Congress

U.S. Rep. Ayanna Pressley said Sunday that people should not “take the bait” from President Trump and “get off the ride” he launches on Twitter. The congresswoman attending the Roxbury Unity Parade was asked for her reaction to Trump’s tweet from earlier in the day — stating he doesn’t believe the four congresswomen, including Pressley, are “capable of loving our Country.” “I think we all have to not take the bait, and get off the ride that the occupant of this Oval Office has us on,” Pressley said in Boston. “Every tweet he sends is meant to be a distraction from the real problems that this country is facing,” she added. “And much of this hurt is being exacerbated by him.” Trump in the last week has attacked the progressive “squad” of congresswomen, who are all minorities — Pressley, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib. The president tweeted that the … [Read more...] about Pressley responds to Trump tweet: Don’t take the bait
