Split decision: Sanders still a Hillary headache
Bernie Sanders needed a big win in Kentucky. Hillary Clinton needed to close out the Democratic nominating contest strong and turn her undivided attention toward Donald Trump. Neither happened Tuesday night. Instead, Sanders continues to campaign within what he is denouncing as a rigged system, and keeps sticking like a thorn in Clinton's side.

The subtext of every congressional R touting the amazing, beautiful Trump list is an unsubtle plea for the never Trump rump to shut up.

Facebook says it will strive to stay neutral

| On this day 25 years ago, Croatians voted in a referendum for indpendence from Yugoslavia. Ninety-three percent supported independence. The vote took place amid increased tensions caused by the desire of many ethnic Serb enclaves within Croatia's historical boundaries to secede and remain party of what was then still Yugoslavia. Yugoslav (later Serb) and Croatian forces clashed in what would be a four-year war of independence, in which more than 20,000 soldiers and civilians were killed and half a million civilians were displaced due to ethnic cleansing. Atrocities were common. The Croatian government won the war after a peace agreement in late 1995, establishing what would officially become Croatia's modern borders by 1998. |

Dying GOP senator apologized to Muslims for Donald Trump
Bob Bennett spent his last weeks on Earth apologizing to Muslim Americans for Donald Trump's remarks about their religion, according to a report published late Wednesday.

"Were there any Muslims in the hospital?" Bennett asked his wife, Joyce, and son, Jim. "I'd love to go up to every single one of them to thank them for being in this country, and apologize to them on behalf of the Republican Party for Donald Trump."

Clinton campaign head goes after 'reckless' Trump
Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman condemned presumed GOP nominee Donald Trump Wednesday, and accused the "reckless" billionaire of being unfit to run for president. "In this week alone, Donald Trump has jeopardized relations with a close ally before setting foot overseas; talked about building a relationship with a reckless dictator; [and] called two diverse American cities more dangerous than war zones like Iraq," said John Podesta. He also faulted Trump for including "no people of color" on his list of potential picks for the Supreme Court.

Jordan fears Hillary Clinton probe will end like IRS investigation
Rep. Jim Jordan, head of the House Freedom Caucus, said Wednesday the similarities between the Justice Department's investigation of IRS targeting and its investigation of Hillary Clinton's emails is similar enough to make him "nervous" about how the Clinton investigation will end. "I'm very nervous about a Justice Department that I think is way too focused on politics and not singularly focused on the administration of justice," Jordan told the Washington Examiner.

Mike Lee takes aim at Obama's housing rule
Sen. Mike Lee is hoping this week to upend President Obama's push to ensure diversity in communities around the country, by blocking any federal spending for that plan. Lee is the sponsor of an amendment to the 2017 transportation and housing spending bill that would prevent any federal spending on Obama's Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing rule. That rule would tie federal community grants to the demographic makeup of communities around the country in an effort to make them more attractive to "families with different income and ethnic profiles."

Media commentators are increasingly unhappy with how the Democratic National Committee has treated Sen. Bernie Sanders and his supporters, and one pundit even suggested Wednesday that the party chairwoman, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, should step down.
