NBC News:
Shake-Up at Democratic National Committee, Longtime Officials Ousted
A shake-up is underway at the Democratic National Committee as several key longtime officials have lost their posts, exposing a still-raw rift in the party and igniting anger among those in its progressive wing who see retaliation for their opposition to DNC Chairman Tom Perez.
The ousters come ahead of the DNC’s first meeting, in Las Vegas, Nevada, since Perez took over as chairman with a pledge this year to unite a party that had become badly divided during the brutal Bernie Sanders-Hillary Clinton 2016 primary race.
Complaints began immediately after party officials saw a list of Perez’s appointments to DNC committees and his roster of 75 “at-large” members, who are chosen by the chair.
The removal and demotion of a handful of veteran operatives stood out, as did what critics charge is the over-representation of Clinton-backed members on the Rules and Bylaws Committee, which helps set the terms for the party’s presidential primary, though other Sanders and Ellison backers remain represented.
Those who have been pushed out include:
Ray Buckley, the New Hampshire Democratic chairman and longtime DNC official who ran against Perez for chair before backing Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn. Buckley lost his spots on the Executive Committee and DNC Rules Committee.
James Zogby, the president of the Arab American Institute and prominent Sanders backer, is no longer co-chair of the Resolutions Committee and is off the Executive Committee, a spot he has held since 2001.
Alice Germond, the party’s longtime former secretary and a vocal Ellison backer, who was removed from her at-large appointment to the DNC.
Barbra Casbar Siperstein, who supported Ellison and Buckley, was tossed from the Executive Committee.The moves exposed a rift in the partnership between Perez and his deputy chair, Ellison, who have publicly broadcast their “bromance” since Perez tapped Ellison for the post in a show of unity after their hard-fought race this year for the party’s chairmanship.

Yay!!!
The neocentrists win again!!!
You Dem loyalists…and we all know who you are…are you really that stupid?
Really!!!
WTFU.
The DNC (Also known as the DPP…The Democratic Power People. You know who they are. Don’t you?) are betting that Trump will so divide …and ultimately decimate…the Republican Party that they will be able to mop up the mess with the help of large numbers of neocentrist RatPublicans.
Dedicated denizens of the DC swamp.
Like Bob Corker and John McCain. (!!!)
Sigh…
CNN:
Corker says he ‘loved’ McCain’s speech, gave him a ‘big hug’:
Republican Sen. Bob Corker said he “loved” a speech given by Sen. John McCain that was widely seen as a sharp critique of policies espoused by President Donald Trump.
“Well the pieces that I saw, I loved, and I gave him a big hug on the floor,” Corker told reporters when asked about the remarks. “It’s a great speech.”
McCain was honored Monday night with the Liberty Medal by the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia. In his speech, he cautioned against abandoning “the ideals we have advanced around the globe” in exchange for “some half-baked, spurious nationalism cooked up by people who would rather find scapegoats than solve problems.”
While McCain did not name the President or his advisers, McCain targeted the “America First” principles that Trump has used throughout this candidacy and presidency.
For his part, Corker has become the Senate’s latest outspoken Republican critic of Trump and his policies. In recent weeks, the senator from Tennessee has called the White House an “adult day care center,” argued that Trump was paving the path to “World War III,” and declared that a trio of Trump’s senior administration officials and Cabinet members were responsible for preventing the country from collapsing into “chaos.”
