PHNOM PENH, Cambodia – The bitter decadeslong rivalry between Hun Sen, Cambodia's strongman leader, and Sam Rainsy, his self-exiled chief political rival and critic, has sometimes played out in deadly violence. But on Sunday, soup rather than blood was likely to be spilled. The two titans of Cambodian politics, who normally agree over nothing, made stunningly similar calls to their followers this past week. On Sunday, they said, all Cambodians should gather with their neighbors and sit … [Read more...] about Cambodian leader flips the script on opponents’ noodle ploy

Scarborough on FBI’s Mar-a-Lago Raid: ‘It Wasn’t a Raid on His House — No Doors Were Kicked Down’
MSNBC “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough on Tuesday reacted to the FBI’s raid of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home. “These are dark times for our Nation, as my beautiful home, Mar- A-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents,” Trump wrote in a statement. “Nothing like this has ever happened to a President of the United States before.” Scarborough said Trump’s full statement was “packed with lies.” He argued that the FBI’s raid “wasn’t a raid on his house” and that “no doors were kicked down.” “One thing we don’t have to wait to be able to pass a verdict on is whether Donald Trump’s statement yesterday was truthful or not. It was just packed with lies. That’s not a surprise,” Scarborough outlined. “It wasn’t a raid on his house. No doors were kicked down. In fact, the FBI notified the Secret Service, saying, ‘Hey, we’re coming over, and we’re going to do a search.’ It’s a legal search. I know Donald … [Read more...] about Scarborough on FBI’s Mar-a-Lago Raid: ‘It Wasn’t a Raid on His House — No Doors Were Kicked Down’
S.F. political feud heats up over affordable housing on November ballot
This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 2 San Francisco’s political war over how to fix its housing crisis just heated up, with the city now facing a lawsuit that argues one of two measures to streamline affordable housing should not be printed on the November ballot. The complainant is San Francisco Housing Action Coalition, a nonprofit aligned with Mayor London Breed that advocates for building more homes on all income levels, and its senior advisor Todd David, who helped gather roughly 80,000 signatures to put an affordable housing streamlining measure on the ballot. The coalition sued Department of Elections Director John Arntz and the city late Monday night over a competing measure by Supervisor Connie Chan, who said the mayor’s measure would not produce “truly affordable” housing and got support from her colleagues to put another on the ballot. The two measures both aim to streamline production of 100% affordable housing, … [Read more...] about S.F. political feud heats up over affordable housing on November ballot

National Security Council’s Intelligence Chief Is Leaving as John Bolton Cleans House
Michael Barry, the senior National Security Council director for intelligence programs, is leaving the White House, according to two government officials. Barry’s departure adds to the growing list of vacant senior NSC positions since the appointment of new National Security Adviser John Bolton , who is said to be restaffing the influential policymaking body with his own staff choices. Barry’s departure is on “very good terms,” one source said, but it will be a “tough loss for the NSC.” According to the source, Barry is returning to the Central Intelligence Agency, where he served before joining the NSC staff. His detail from CIA to the NSC is coming up, The Daily Beast has learned. Barry, a CIA veteran, was well received on the NSC when he joined last fall, largely because he was replacing Ezra Cohen-Watnick, who had repeatedly clashed with the CIA, fellow NSC staffers, and Cabinet officials during his tenure. Compared to Cohen-Watnick, Barry brought years of … [Read more...] about National Security Council’s Intelligence Chief Is Leaving as John Bolton Cleans House
White House Staff, Congress Blindsided by FBI Pick Announcement
A number of senior Trump officials learned of the president’s pick to lead the FBI the same way everyone else did: on Twitter . President Donald Trump ’s top communications staff, and much of his senior White House team, did not know the president was going to make the official announcement for nominating James Comey ’s successor early Wednesday morning via a single tweet, according to multiple White House officials. Several observers noted Wednesday morning that Trump’s Christopher Wray announcement did not arrive with any fact sheet or official press release, as would be expected with news of this weight. And it’s just the latest instance of President Trump’s senior staffers, particularly his communications and press shop, being cut out of the loop, undermined, and frazzled by their unpredictable boss and his compulsive tweeting habit. One senior administration official said “of course not” when asked by The Daily Beast whether top communications staff such as press … [Read more...] about White House Staff, Congress Blindsided by FBI Pick Announcement
