I feel better already. The A-Team. pic.twitter.com/FIw2fKqgwR — Mark Horowitz (@MarkHorowitz) April 13, 2020 Let’s see, we’ve got Mark Meadows, reliable Trump flunky and the new acting White House chief of staff; Ivanka Trump, the pr*sident’s daughter and a noted exploiter of low-wage Chinese labor; Jared Kushner, the know-nothing fopdoodle Trump...

Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Ed Markey’s (D. MA) re-election campaign: Sen. Ed Markey (D. MA) Last night, Donald Trump amplified a call from the far-right to fire Dr. Anthony Fauci. This is unacceptable. The president is trying to oust one of the foremost experts we need to...
Live Blog below — it likely won’t start on time, pretty much the symbol of the WH. Today had 45 minutes of what likely will be peak Trumpiness, as Trump showed a campaign propaganda video that attempted to refute the reporting on Trump’s 70 days of delay. Trump chose the usual path, attacking...
I shoudn’t let it surprise, shock, or bother me, but the fact that Kentucky Republicans are politicizing the coronavirus pandemic makes me very angry. We have already lost 23,000 people nationally, and we are most likely going to break a total of 100 deaths today in Kentucky. But never let...
Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Bob Casey, Jr. (D. PA): In 2016, 1.8 million eligible Democratic voters in Pennsylvania didn't vote. Donald Trump won the election by 44,292 votes. This year, as the COVID-19 pandemic continues, even more Democratic voters may stay home on Election Day both in...
This past Friday on HBO’s television program Real Time with Bill Maher, I was reminded why I am a proud Democrat. Maher makes me laugh, cringe, grind my teeth and belly laugh all in the span of one hour. I watched Maher last week, as is my wont on Friday...
Kudos to the North Carolina Democratic Party for reminding voters about this: The pandemic is giving new life to some old comments from North Carolina Republican Senator Thom Tillis. The North Carolina Democratic Party is spotlighting Tillis’ 2015 call to lift public health regulations requiring restaurant workers to wash their hands after...
I knew Trump would be a disaster, but I didn’t expect his feckless fucknuttery to cut this close to the bone. “Make America Great Again” — a slogan that was always laughable on its face — now seems like a cruel practical joke, and we’re left wondering how we’re going...
Received this e-mail from former Attorney General Eric Holder on behalf of the Wisconsin Democratic Party: I am appalled at what happened in Wisconsin on Tuesday. Our fellow Americans were forced to make an impossible choice that no one should ever have to make in a democracy: Put your health...
Some big news out of Utah today: President Donald Trump leads presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden by just 5 percentage points according to a new Utah Political Trends survey. The poll from UtahPolicy.com and KUTV 2News conducted by Y2 Analytics finds President Trump with 46 percent support among likely Utah...
“We tell people to wash their hands, but a study showed that 30 percent of homes on Navajo Nation don’t have running water, so how are we going to do that? Let me be crystal clear, we don’t think people of color are biologically or genetically predisposed to get COVID-19....
Will Trump fire Dr. Fauci this week. More importantly will Trump even acknowledge the death toll other than saying “it’s a bad week” and babble some happy talk. He will promote the debut of a economic reopening council only to divert attention to the now 22,000 deaths. President Trump’s trade...
Jane Mayer from The New Yorker has a really good piece out about how U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R. KY) path being Trump’s top enabler showcases how Moscow Mitch truly is the Dr. Frankenstein to Trump’s Frankenstein Monster. A number of Never Trumpers like Bill Kristol and Rick...
The San Francisco Chronicle put a story up today about how the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) thought they had located 39 million masks that it planned to donate to health care workers, but that the FBI discovered it was all a hoax. Report: Stockpile of 39 million masks exposed...
Fox & Friends has been Trump’s go-to place for ego-stroking since before the beginning. If he’s lost them, he’s really lost. And he’s losing them. Trump made some nasty cracks about Chris Wallace this morning: https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1249424452477235200? This evening, Jedediah Bila, weekend host of Fox & Friends, struck back: Enough with...
Received this e-mail today from the Council for a Livable World: Colorado has three key congressional races in 2020. The state has been growing fast and leaning blue in recent years. Hillary Clinton carried the state by five points in 2016, and Democrats have won the last four gubernatorial races...
Trump has never wavered from a belief that denial is his best COVID-19 policy as his indecisiveness born of insecurity around experts drives the White House dysfunctional chaos. His inability to consider the discourse revealed in the Red Dawn emails is no different than the paths chosen for resisting the...
