| Posted: 26 May 2015 03:22 PM PDT  Tuesday, May 26, 2015 | View in Browser THE NUTGRAF In the fifth and final installment of our series on mental health, The Huffington Post talked to Mac McClelland, an investigative reporter who experienced post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of covering the earthquake in Haiti. McClelland speaks frankly about her experience and about journalism's culture of silence surrounding mental health. "I was a mess when I was still in Haiti," she says. "I was a mess on the plane coming home. I was sobbing. I was a mess when I got back to San Francisco. I woke up and started crying. I went immediately to a counselor's office. I didn't know what the problem was, but no one could have looked at me and not realized that there was some kind of serious problem." McClelland details her struggles with PTSD in greater detail in her book, Irritable Hearts: A PTSD Love Story released in February.

| Posted: 26 May 2015 02:39 PM PDT  By Eliot Nelson and Arthur Delaney Bernie Sanders' second campaign announcement is a reminder that the “official” campaign launch is the dumbest political development since the prebuttal. George Pataki will announce his White House bid on Thursday, really shaking up the race to be Jeb Bush’s commerce secretary. And back in D.C., the Capitol was evacuated after a fire alarm sounded. This being recess, it only affected a couple hungover dudes in polo shirts. This is HUFFPOST HILL for Tuesday, May 26th, 2016: IN OBAMACARE, PROBLEM - Robert Pear: "They are only four words in a 900-page law: 'established by the state.' But it is in the ambiguity of those four words in the Affordable Care Act that opponents found a path to challenge the law, all the way to the Supreme Court. How those words became the most contentious part of President Obama’s signature domestic accomplishment has been a mystery. Who wrote them, and why? Were they really intended, as the plaintiffs in King v. Burwell claim, to make the tax subsidies in the law available only in states that established their own health insurance marketplaces, and not in the three dozen states with federal exchanges? The answer, from interviews with more than two dozen Democrats and Republicans involved in writing the law, is that the words were a product of shifting politics and a sloppy merging of different versions…. 'I don’t ever recall any distinction between federal and state exchanges in terms of the availability of subsidies,' said Olympia J. Snowe , a former Republican senator from Maine who helped write the Finance Committee version of the bill." [NYT] LANDRIEU MAKES PREDICTABLE CAREER MOVE - The oil and gas lobby should be mindful of how many former senators it hires: the wind generated by the revolving door could be harnessed to power the entire country. Bruce Alpert: "Former Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., is joining the Washington lobbying firm Van Ness Feldman...Landrieu said she will join Van Ness Feldman as a senior policy advisor, working closely with another recent hire, former Rep. Norm Dicks, D-Wash., the former top Democrat on the House Appropriations Committee...[Landrieu] can't lobby colleagues until January, 2017. But she can lobby members of the executive branch, and is free to provide Van Ness Feldman clients with strategic advice. Landrieu said the job will provide her with the 'flexibility' to continue her work for the Walton Family Foundation, advocating on education issues, such as support for charter schools in New Orleans, Baton Rouge and nationally...Landrieu said she'll be working on coastal restoration issues, as well as energy policy matters, for Van Ness Feldman, a firm that includes both Democratic and Republican lobbyists." [Times-Picayune] Haircut: Christine Conetta (h/t Amanda Terkel), Neil Campbell (h/t Dan Curran) DAILY DELANEY DOWNER - Stephen Ohlemacher: "Thieves used an online service provided by the IRS to gain access to information from more than 100,000 taxpayers, the agency said Tuesday. The information included tax returns and other tax information on file with the IRS. The IRS said the thieves accessed a system called 'Get Transcript.' In order to access the information, the thieves cleared a security screen that required knowledge about the taxpayer, including Social Security number, date of birth, tax filing status and street address."

Follow us on Twitter - @HuffPostHill FEDERAL COURT WON'T LIFT IMMIGRATION RULING HOLD - Court affirms legally questionable halt to legally questionable action on legally untenable situation. "A federal appeals court refused Tuesday to lift a temporary hold on President Barack Obama's executive action that could shield as many as 5 million immigrants illegally living in the U.S. from deportation. The U.S. Justice Department had asked the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to reverse a Texas judge who agreed to temporarily block the president's plan in February, after 26 states filed a lawsuit alleging Obama's action was unconstitutional. But two out of three judges on a court panel voted to deny the government's request. It wasn't immediately clear if the government would appeal, either to the full appeals court in New Orleans or to the U.S. Supreme Court."

GEORGE PATAKI TO LAUNCH PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN THURSDAY [Fade into CHADBOURNE & PARKE law firm in NEW YORK CITY where former Governor GEORGE PATAKI is idling in his corner office. The only audible sounds are the low din of an air conditioner and the squeak of his LAZZARO LEATHER CHAIR as he shifts his weight to and fro.] Pataki holds up right hand, his thumb and index finger curled into the shape of a mouth PATAKI, in falsetto You should run, George! Pataki holds up left hand, also in shape of a mouth PATAKI, in deep voice The country needs you! Pataki holds up portrait of Nelson Rockefeller PATAKI, bobbing Rockefeller portrait up and down Only you can bring the country together, George! [PATAKI leans back in his LAZZARO LEATHER CHAIR and crosses his arms. A satisfied grin creeps across his lips. PATAKI twirls chair around to face the NEW YORK skyline.] [NY Post] MORE LIKE TOM DE-GAY - Dana Liebelson: "'Homosexuality is a behavior. Not a civil right.' So argues Restrain the Judges, a conservative coalition that has sponsored billboard ads proclaiming this message. The group, which is pushing Congress to prevent federal judges from ruling in favor of same-sex marriage, has attracted attention for its ads' controversial comparison of people 'born' black, Asian or Latino with gay people 'not born this way.' Less well-known is the fact that the group is advised by a man once among the most powerful in Washington: former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Texas).'" [HuffPost] OH GODDAMNIT IT'S BLOOMBERG PRESIDENTIAL SPECULATION TIME AGAIN - Someone wrote about someone writing about a speculative Michael Bloomberg presidential campaign and now we're writing about someone writing about someone writing about a speculative Michael Bloomberg presidential campaign and though we can't tell you with absolute certainty he won't run for president, we can tell you with certainty that life is utterly pointless and we are all haphazard assemblages of stardust with stardust mouths that eat stardust hamburgers. [WaPo] Stardust Hamburger is also our brass quintet David Bowie cover band. Alex Pareene has a very good takedown of needless presidential hype about hizzoner. The Clinton campaign is marketing a line of mock-pantsuit t-shirts. Between the Hillary Pantsuit tee and the now defunctRand Paul-branded Ray-Bans, The nation turns its lonely eyes to Rick Santorum's merchandise page for sweater vest beer coozies. [Politico] Bernie Sanders's 404 page is quite clever. "The good news is you're on the right website, and it's a really good website," an uncharacteristically kempt Sanders says in a video that pops up. "The bad news is, you're on the wrong page." Sanders then says to "just scoot down to the bottom of the page where and you'll find your way back home to where you should be." Typical socialist telling you where you should and shouldn't be. [Sick earned media, bro]  Our office coffee mug game is strong. ANN KIRKPATRICK TO SEEK MCCAIN'S SENATE SEAT - It's never easy telling the old man that he shouldn't go into the office anymore, but at least he still has his car privileges -- not everyone does. Emily Cahn: "Kirkpatrick made calls Monday to inform people of her plans, the source told CQ Roll Call. Her bid also opens up Arizona’s 1st District, a GOP-leaning seat spanning the northeast quadrant of the state...Kirkpatrick, 65, won re-election last fall in this district against all odds, defying a GOP wave that felled fellow moderate House Democrats. She has strong ties to the district’s Native American population, which made her uniquely able to carry the seat...Democratic operatives speculate that if the current congressional map is tossed by the court, fellow Democratic Rep. Kyrsten Sinema could also look at a Senate bid. Republicans would likely make her 9th District, located in the Phoenix suburbs, less competitive for the Democrats." [Roll Call] @RussOnPolitics: In all of Sen. John McCain's #AZsen campaigns, not one of his Dem opponents has been a member of Congress. Anne Kirkpatrick changes that. WALKER MAY SKIP FLORIDA - Technically, this adheres to our maxim, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you… and do the exact opposite of whatever Giuliani '08 did," so we give Walker a good grade for the shrewdness of this move. "If we get in as a candidate, we're going to make a strong play in Iowa," Walker told Laura Ingraham. "Actually the main thing being around the country if we chose to get in, I don't think there's a state we wouldn't play in, other than maybe Florida where Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio are -- listen some of the polls are essentially tied and they're going to eat up a lot of that financial advantage that Gov. Bush is going to have." Bonus points for the royal "we," governor! [HuffPost's Igor Bobic]  This sort of thing is cheap politics (almost as cheap as the photo-ops themselves) but, that said, cheap politics puts food on our table, so check out this collection of Republicans grinning with Josh Duggar. CAPITOL EVACUATED - For every five tourists alarmed by this kind of thing, there's at least one leadership staffer relieved he gets to leave a fly-in meeting with a bunch of dairy industry reps he didn't want to see. Alan Fram: "Police briefly evacuated hundreds of workers and tourists from the U.S. Capitol and its adjacent visitors’ center on Tuesday in a problem officials tentatively blamed on a faulty exhaust fan in a visitor center kitchen. Within an hour after alarms sounded, employees returned to the building. Tourists were readmitted shortly after that...The U.S. Capitol Police told congressional workers in an email that two alarms were triggered in the visitors’ center, which they said was apparently caused by 'a known problem with environmental controls with the kitchen exhaust fan.' It provided no additional detail." [AP] BECAUSE YOU'VE READ THIS FAR - Here's a bird taking a bath. TODAY IN LEDES - There's a "burying the lede" quip somewhere that even we aren't shameless enough to formulate. Penn Live: "A couple that rides together, stays together. So goes the motorcycle couple's credo. But sometimes, they also die together. Such tragedy befell a Harley-riding couple in Fleetwood, Pa., Sunday. Citing Fleetwood police, the Associated Press reports that Michael McCulley, 56, and Luann McCulley, 57, of Berks County, were pronounced dead at the scene of a motorcycle-SUV crash."

At least two people are dead, 12 missing, and 30 unaccounted for after heavy rain and floods swept through the Houston area over the weekend. (People who have not been in contact with anyone since the flooding began are considered unaccounted for; those who were last seen in danger are considered missing.) Some 350 homes have been destroyed so far and up to 1,000 residents are now homeless. A 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. curfew has been imposed in the cities of San Marcos and Wimberley while rescue workers search the area. 
Marco Rubio told the Christian Broadcast Network that advocates of gay marriage will soon define "mainstream Christian" teachings as "hate speech." In a Tuesday interview, the presidential candidate explained: "Because today we've reached the point in our society where if you do not support same-sex marriage you are labeled a homophobe and a hater." Rubio warned that it will get worse. "After they are done going after individuals, the next step is to argue that the teachings of mainstream Christianity, the catechism of the Catholic Church, is hate speech and there's a real and present danger." Rubio said he grew up Catholic before his family briefly tried Mormonism. 
Payless ShoeSource and Choice Hotels have joined General Mills in pulling advertisements from all future episodes of TLC's 19 Kids and Counting as a result of Josh Duggar's apparent molestation admission. "Our ads ran during this show as part of a larger buy with TLC," Payless said in a statement. Choice Hotels said simply, "We have decided to remove our advertising from the show." Walgreens, another TLC advertiser, has said it is monitoring the situation. 
The Iraqi government said it launched a campaign Tuesday to take back Anbar province from ISIS, two weeks after it captured the provincial capital of Ramadi. The campaign features a leading role for Iran-backed Shiite militias, raising fears that such an openly Shiite-led push threatens to exacerbate sectarian tensions in majority-Sunni Anbar. A spokesman for the Iran-backed militias even said the operation's codename will be Labaik Ya Hussein—a nod to the Shiite saint. "The Labaik Ya Hussein operation is led by the Hashid Shaabi in cooperation and coordination with the armed forces there," he said. "We believe that liberating Ramadi will not take long."
As part of a settlement with the Justice Department, the Cleveland Police Department agreed Tuesday to some of the country's most stringent standards governing the use of force by police. Cleveland officers are now prohibited from using force against suspects for talking back or running away. Firing warning shots and pistol-whipping are no longer allowed, and an independent monitor will track the department's progress. "A fundamental goal of the revised use-of-force policy will be to account for, review, and investigate every reportable use of force," the agreement states. The Justice Department sued Cleveland last year for violating residents' civil rights, and the consent deal comes just days after a jury acquitted a police officer of murder for shooting two people in a stopped car.
Charter Communications is buying Time Warner Cable for $56.7 billion. The deal, in which Charter paid just over $195 a share—about 14 percent more than TWC's closing stock price Friday—creates the nation's second-largest cable company, behind only archrival Comcast. Billionaire John C. Malone, Charter Communications' primary backer, has been attempting to break into the American broadband industry. His company swooped in after Comcast's bid, for $45 billion, was broken up by antitrust regulators. 
An alleged ISIS aspirant from Texas was arrested Tuesday after his family convinced him to return home by telling him that his mom's health was failing. Asher Abid Khan, a 20-year-old from Spring, Texas, was arrested on charges that he plotted to join the terrorist group and spoke with a Turkey-based recruiter. A friend of Khan's made it across the Turkey-Syria border, according to the complaint, but Khan—who had been living in Australia with family and had made it to Istanbul—was lured home by family members who told him his mother was sick.
