~ In Nevada, Sanders mocks Republicans for running to casino mogul for a financial lift

Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders, starting a two-day swing through Nevada, took aim Sunday at members of the Republican field for seeking the blessing of billionaire casino magnate Sheldon Adelson.

At a rally in Reno that drew more than 2,000 people, Sanders spoke facetiously of an “Adelson caucus,” a reference to Sen. Marco Rubio (Fla.) and other Republicans who have met with the mega-donor in the hopes of securing a financial boost ahead of the first nominating contests.

“Sheldon Adelson has not invited me to speak with him,” said Sanders, who routinely decries the political influence of the “billionaire class.” During the rally, which was live-streamed on Periscope, Sanders said that the average contribution to his campaign has been less than $30.

Sanders's two-day swing through Nevada comes ahead of a month in which he plans to hunker down in Iowa and New Hampshire, the states with the first nominating contests. 

Many analysts say that the senator from Vermont would probably need to win both to become a real threat to Hillary Clinton in the contest for the Democratic nomination.

Nevada holds its Democratic caucuses on Feb. 20, following the Iowa caucuses on Feb. 1 and the New Hampshire primary on Feb. 9.

“We think we have a shot here,” Sanders spokesman Michael Briggs said of Nevada. “Obviously, we’re working hard in Iowa and New Hampshire, but Bernie is running a national campaign.”

Sanders, who is scheduled to return to Iowa on Tuesday and New Hampshire this weekend, also sparred over social media on Sunday with the Republican front-runner, Donald Trump.

During an appearance on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” Sanders argued that he would better represent the economic interests of Trump’s working-class supporters, citing prior statements by Trump that wages in America are “too high.”

“Lie!” Trump said on Twitter after the broadcast, denying that he had said wages are too high.

Sanders responded with a tweet saying that Trump is “getting nervous that working families are catching on to whose interests he truly represents.” In an accompanying news release, Sanders pointed to multiple instances in which Trump said wages were too high.

Trump is among the Republican hopefuls who has met with Adelson, whom Forbes magazine estimates is worth $23.7 billion and who provided a financial boost during the 2012 presidential race to super PACs supporting GOP aspirants Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney.

Prior to his meeting with Adelson, Trump described it as a courtesy call rather than a solicitation for campaign donations. The two reportedly got together at the Venetian, a hotel and casino on the Las Vegas strip that is owned Adelson and was the site of a CNN-sponsored Republican debate this month.

Sanders plans to campaign Monday in the Las Vegas area, including at an evening rally planned in North Las Vegas.

Michelle Obama Launches Whitehouse Mentoring & Leadership Program

Michelle Obama launches mentoring program


First Lady Michelle Obama kicked off a leadership and mentoring program Tuesday, opening the White House to 20 high school girls who will pair up with top administration officials to learn life skills.

At a gathering in the State Dining room, Obama told the girls that mentoring has always been important to her, and that she wanted to use her platform as first lady to "expand the mentoring role."

"In every part of government, there are women who are hungry to help bring you guys up," she said. "I always wanted to be a bridge between kids like me and the possibilities that can propel them to greatness."

Second Lady Jill Biden, White House advisor Valerie Jarrett, Social Secretary Desiree Rogers, and several members of the first lady's staff and the senior staff in the West Wing will serve as mentors.

The 20 protégées, who are sophomores and juniors, were chosen by principals at area high schools and include young women from military families.

East Wing aides said that the program is a spin-off of the Women of Excellence event that Obama hosted at the White House in March, where celebrities, including Alicia Keys and Sheryl Crow, fanned out to local high schools to speak to young girls.

In the coming months, Obama will take that program on the road, aides said.

The West Wing also will launch a mentoring and leadership program for high school boys that the president will participate in, aides said.

The year long program headed by FLOTUS will include financial literacy training and exposure to different career paths, as well as possible field trips with the first lady, advisors said.

One student who is interested in foreign affairs wanted to know what she could get out of the program, and Obama suggested that through the State Department, there could be "access to ambassadors."

"The resources are infinite in terms of women in this administration who want to share with you," Obama said.

The first lady has stressed the importance of community service since moving into the White House; previously she ran a community service program in Chicago after leaving her job as a corporate lawyer. She has visited area schools and hosted hundreds of school children at the White House for gardening events as well as musical events.

She told the girls that with their unique opportunity, there is responsibility too.

"We have some expectations from you as well, that when you get to this position, you do the same for someone else," she said. "And if we keep building in that way, holding one another up, there's no telling what we can do."
