Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton rolled out a massive $275 billion infrastructure at the launch of her campaign’s new “Hard Hats for Hillary” coalition.

Clinton’s campaign said it invited the 13 female senators who have endorsed Clinton to attend tonight’s event, but would not say whether or not they invited Warren.
The disclosures are required under an earlier court order that demanded all 55,000 pages of Clinton’s work-related emails be released by January 20, 2016.
Warren has been publicly pushing presidential candidates to support a bill that would put restrictions on the so-called “revolving door” between Wall Street and government, and is force in the Senate for stricter rules on the financial industry and consumer protection.
No one, however, made any mention of Warren’s absence during the program.
Hillary Clinton has come back from Thanksgiving break with a head of steam.
Clinton and Vermont Sen.
“Investing in infrastructure makes our economy more productive and competitive across the board”, she said Sunday at a rally in Boston’s Faneuil Hall, addressing a crowd heavy on workers from construction unions.
Clinton’s campaign has repeatedly said DOJ will exonerate her (“I’m starting to really think it’s finally behind us”, a top Clinton ally told me recently) and Lynch’s attorneys recently ruled that Clinton was within her legal rights to use her “home-brew” server, so long as she turned over documents covered by law and regulation. “You looked real”, he added.
“There are a great number of women senators who are Democrats, and led by our fearless leader Barbara Boxer, nearly two years ago, we all signed a letter and the letter said ‘run, Hillary, run, ‘ and we promised Hillary, if she picked up this mantle we would be with her”, she said to cheers. Johnson: “There’s nothing you can do to me now, so I’m not taking any more of your s***”. Clinton now says she did not send or receive anything that was marked classified at the time.
Authorities have not accused Clinton of any wrongdoing, but Republicans have been very critical of her email practices.
Clinton responded: “That has nothing to do with my positions”.
Of course, for this story to have legs, some reporter is going to have to get curious enough to ask her about it. This doesn’t seem likely, as the press has written off the entire email scandal – including the classified material – as old news and not worthy covering.

She’s proposed one for businesses that institute profit-sharing plans (cost: $20 billion over 10 years); another for hiring disabled veterans; and, as of last week, a tax credit worth up to $1,200 to help families defray the cost of caring for their elderly members at home (a $10 billion, 10-year item). All 14 Democratic women senators, except Sen.
