Rostra apologizes for article about alleged affair
Some SD Rostra readers were apparently offended by an article posted yesterday about a possible extra-marital affair between two State Republican leaders.

Assemblyman Rocky Chávez Breaks His Promise To Taxpayers
California’s Cap and Trade extension passed today with Republican support: “The extension was part of a three-bill package, which passed.

Can Republicans Break Up The Democratic Coalition ?
While it was fun to #LaughMyOssoff last night about the Democrats’ expensive (and failed) attempt to #Flipthe6th , here is a message for Republicans–this loss just hardened #TheResistance activists.

Shooting aftermath: Do we need to reconsider our relationship with politics?
Yesterday, following the shooting in the DC area, a “friend” posted on Facebook, “I guess that’s one way to open Republican seats…” I assume he thought his comment was both humorous and somehow appropriate.

The COVFEFE Act Triggers 1st Amendment Concerns
Life increasingly mimics art (or what now resembles art), as Rep. Mile Quigley (D-Ill.) has introduced the so-called COVFEFE Act, preventing the President from deleting any of his social media posts.
