Evening Edition: The GOP tax plan is generating a muted response. That’s odd.
House Republicans have a little-known plan to raise taxes on teachers by $2 billion; Politicians accused of misconduct keep quiet and hope people forget. It rarely works.
If the rewrite of the tax code were headed the right direction, corporate lobbyists would be whining that their private breaks are getting squeezed too hard, and economists would be cheering because the trashing of those preferences is paying for lower overall rates that could fuel new growth. Neither thing is happening.
Any full-time instructor at a public or private K-12 school is currently eligible for a $250 deduction on school supplies they purchase for students. The proposal would end this.
Part of the strategy appears designed to avoid saying something that could be contradicted by others, but there's also an underlying sense that voters cannot pay attention to one thing for that long in the nonstop news era of President Trump.

In a statement, the congressman from Texas said: "While separated from my second wife, prior to the divorce, I had sexual relationships with other mature adult women. Each was consensual. Those relationships have ended. I am sorry I did not use better judgment during those days. I am sorry that I let my constituents down."
At least 13 women have accused the president of sexual misconduct. Many of the accusations surfaced after the release of a 2005 "Access Hollywood" tape of Trump speaking graphically about kissing and groping women uninvited. Here's the complete list, with their evidence.
For reasons that the writer is at a loss to explain, he disliked most "adult" foods. The list of dishes that he wouldn't touch was long, varied and somewhat horrifying-slash-comical to his immediate family members. But his palate blossomed once he left for college.
