Bloomberg View: I Saw Trump's Tax Returns. You Should, Too. (http://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2016-05-12/time-for-donald-trump-to-release-his-tax-returns)

"'You learn very little from a tax return,' he told Fox News.

"Actually, as someone who saw Trump's federal tax returns about a decade ago as part of a legal action in which he sued me for libel (the suit was later dismissed), I think there probably are some things to be learned from them.

"The tax returns my lawyers and I reviewed were sealed, and a court order prevents me from speaking or writing about the specifics of what I saw. I can say that Trump routinely delayed -- for months on end -- producing those documents, and when they finally arrived they were so heavily redacted that they looked like crossword puzzles. The litigation ran on for five years, and during that time we had to petition the court to compel Trump to hand over unredacted versions of the tax returns -- which he ultimately did."

Think Progress: Clinton's Plan To Cure Her Party's Worst Act Of Political Malpractice During The Obama Era (http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2016/05/12/3777570/clintons-plan-cure-partys-worst-act-political-malpractice-obama-era/)

"'Washington, D.C., is home to nearly 700,000 Americans,' Clinton wrote in the Washington Informer, a newspaper that primarily serves the African-American community in D.C., and yet these Americans 'don't even have a vote in Congress.' Clinton pledged that "as president, I will be a vocal champion for D.C. statehood."

Washington Post: To fend off Trump, Clinton moves to defend Rust Belt blue states (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/against-trump-clinton-is-preparing-an-expanded-list-of-battleground-states/2016/05/12/cfe8e3b4-17b4-11e6-924d-838753295f9a_story.html)

"Facing the unpredictable candidacy of Republican Donald Trump, Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton is preparing to dispatch resources to vote-rich industrial states that have been safely Democratic for a generation.

"Clinton's plans include an early, aggressive attempt to defend Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan -- reflecting a growing recognition inside her campaign of the threat that Trump's unconventional bid for president may pose in unexpected places, particularly in economically struggling states that have been hit hard by global free-trade agreements."

Wall Street Journal: Some Big Democratic Party Backers to Pool Spending to Support Hillary Clinton and Others (http://www.wsj.com/articles/some-big-democratic-party-backers-to-pool-spending-1463083688)

"Some of the biggest political supporters of the Democratic Party have agreed to pool their money in a super PAC targeting $50 million in funding to pay for door-to-door campaigning in support of Hillary Clinton and other Democrats running in the fall elections.

"The AFL-CIO labor federation and unions including the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, American Federation of Teachers and National Education Association agreed to join forces to fund the operation along with Democratic megadonor Tom Steyer."

The Week: Hillary Clinton is getting serious about health care reform (http://theweek.com/articles/623961/hillary-clinton-getting-serious-about-health-care-reform)

"Clinton's new proposal would expand on the single payer option. It would be incrementalism, but real incrementalism -- not just the cop-out variety."

Los Angeles Times: Editorial: For all her faults, Hillary Clinton is vastly better prepared than Bernie Sanders for the presidency (http://www.latimes.com/opinion/endorsements/la-ed-democratic-presidential-endorsement-20160426-story.html)

"Compared to the intoxicating altruism of the Sanders' campaign, Clinton's candidacy might seem unexciting. But nominating a candidate for president is, or ought to be, serious business. As Obama himself likely would admit after almost eight years in the White House, there is more to being president than grand promises, whether they are about 'hope and change' or a political revolution. We admire Bernie Sanders' passion for progress and equality, but our endorsement goes to the candidate who is more likely to translate ideals into action."
