President Donald Trump touted a $600-million cost reduction for the F-35 fighter jet program in remarks Monday. But that amount appears to be similar to a previously planned price slash by the Department of Defense.
Trump took credit for the reduction, telling reporters that the cut applies to 90 planes.
I was able to get $600 million approximately off those planes, he said. I think that was a great achievement. So I appreciate Lockheed Martin for being so responsive.
The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter is produced in batches, and the price per plane is expected to decrease with each lot. The next batch, known in military jargon as low-rate initial production 10, is expected to contain 90 planes. Negotiations are still ongoing to determine pricing for these planes........................................................
My god--morning Joe really going off on Steve Bannon and Steve... and Trump for keeping
the ban a secret. whow. have to give him credit today.

The AG should pledge fidelity to the law & the Constitution not the WhiteHouse. The fact that this admin doesnt understand that is chilling.

Firing of Sally Yates underscores how impt it is to have an Attorney General who'll stand up to the WhiteHouse when they violate the law.

I do not see how Tillerson will put the interests of US ahead of his loyalty to Big Oil & Vladimir Putin. I will not support his nomination.

Dems plan rally at Supreme Court to protest Trump's executive order
© Keren Carrion
Democratic lawmakers will host a rally on Monday evening at the Supreme Court to protest President Donald Trumps recent executive order imposing a temporary ban on nationals from seven Muslim-majority countries entering the United States.
Tomorrow at 6:00 p.m., House and Senate Democrats will gather for a press event in front of the steps of the Supreme Court to demand the President withdraw his disreputable executive order. All Members are urged to come to express our solidarity, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said in a letter to her Democratic colleagues in the House.
Trump on Friday signed an order that imposed a 90-day ban on nationals from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen entering the United States. The order also included a 120-day ban on admitting refugees and an indefinite halt on admitting refugees from Syria, which has been embattled in a civil war since 2011.
We are witnessing an historic injustice unfold, and we must keep the pressure on, Pelosi said in the letter.
