Texas is the coalmine canary of failures in the GQP’s industrial policy. The “clusterfuzzle” appears to be only in Texas: perhaps they skimmed on costs and failed in winterizing their plants.

The 2019 “Everything Terrible Trump Has Done” Year End Summary Report

Overview Since the earliest days of Donald Trump’s Presidency, we have attempted to catalog all of the harmful actions committed by his administration. Furthermore, by categorizing these actions by policy areas and scoring their relative impact, we have attempted to understand how the Administration operates and measure where it’s done...

Can They Approve Judges During a Government Shutdown?

I can’t find any information on this topic yet, but I was wondering if the U.S. Senate can approve Trump’s judicial nominees while there is a partial government shutdown?  The only verification of this potential hiccup for Mitch McConnell was the fear expressed by Fox if there was a government...

Democrats Should Stop With the Labels of Progressives Vs. Centrists Over Policy Differences.

The labels of progressives versus centrists or “New Democrats” over policy differences is meaningless in my humble opinion, at least as defined by the Media and the Beltway Establishment.  I say this because I think — I could be wrong — that many moderate or even some conservative voters would agree that...

I Ask For a Ceasefire.

Could we all just take a few moments, access our current political mess, and maybe have a ceasefire among those who resist Trump and his policies?   As to my meager qualifications for calling for a ceasefire, I offer the following about my past stances and transgressions: I’m a partisan Democrat who...
