Gov. Chris Christies thought he would get away with the socialism and double taxation trope. Sen. Heidi Heitkamp would have none of it. Christie did not expect this from Heitkamp x x YouTube Video See full episodes here. The ThisWeek panel was discussing President Biden's economic proposals. One of them...
Tom Vilsack returns to the position he held during the Obama administration at USDA. Why hasn’t the pandemic compelled a rethinking of factory farming. Changing trends toward sustainability must show that the structure of industry needs to change. We’ll see. At least Biden is motivated by actual contacts rather than seeing...

I’m liking this: x YouTube Video A new advocacy group focused on supporting Democrats in rural America will funnel $1 million into television and radio ads targeting Republican Sen. Joni Ernst.

Just as U.S. Senate candidate, Jaime Harrison (D. SC), Jon Ossoff (D. GA) did an interview with CNBC regarding issues young voters care about.

Nathan L. Gonzales, Editor & Publisher of The Rothenberg & Gonzales Political Report, has a piece out in Roll Call where he discusses the status of the. upcoming Senate elections. He does not bear good news for two GOP Senators. First up, U.S. Senator Cory Gardner (R. CO): GOP Sen. Cory...
Here is another report about how farmers, especially Kentucky farmers, are being squeezed by Trump’s tariffs, but they still love them some Trump: President Trump doubled down on his fight for better trade deals during his speech to American Farm Bureau Federation members at their convention in New Orleans.. Farm...
It’s starting to sink in: Republican Sen. Cory Gardner helped mastermind the GOP’s midterm strategy of pushing Senate candidates closer to President Donald Trump. But heading into his own 2020 re-election bid in Colorado, he’s allowing more distance with the not-so-popular president. And he’s not alone. Sen. Thom Tillis of...
I know I am picking at a fresh wound here, but NPR had an interview with a soybean farmer — Josh Gackle – in North Dakota who sits on the American Soybean Association’s board of directors about the effect of Trump’s tariffs on soybeans. You could tell that Gackle didn’t want to...
As with many, I’ve been trying to look at some numbers now of several disappointing Democratic races in several redstates to make some sense of what happened. It’s taken some time to actually look at the numbers because I got my hopes up and the let down has been painful. ...
Henry Olsen at National Review has both a serious and humorous take on tomorrow’s election — first the fun part: National Review “Conservatives love animals, but there is one species they have long wanted to make extinct: the RINO. Not the horned African rhino, mind you, but rather the hoity-toity political...
Here is the link to the New York Times Graphic on early voting turnout state by state: http://www.nytimes.com/… As you can see, they have also included the early voting as a percentage of the total votes of 2014 on this graph. For those of us who are still praying, keeping...
Yeah, yeah, I get it. The gang of four (Murkowski, Collins, Flake and Manchin) are all evil shit stains who are sipping wine and laughing at how they duped us and woe is us all is lost we are fu*ked we are fu*ked to Saturn and back again. And yet… I...
Yes: x YouTube Video As Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh faced senators Thursday about an alleged sexual assault, North Dakota Democrats are criticizing Republican Rep. Kevin Cramer for his comments about those allegations and other remarks relating to women. The North Dakota Democratic-Nonpartisan League Party is launching a new digital ad Thursday...
If you may or may not have heard, this asshole said this last week: Rep. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.) blasted professor Christine Blasey Ford’s accusation of sexual assault against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh as “absurd” because they were merely drunken teenagers at the time. Besides, Cramer added, it was “supposedly...

I hate when this happens. I've been obsessing over this for like, 20 hours now, it even woke me up at 2:30 this morning. But when you spend as much time watching this shit as closely as I do, you can almost sense when something is up, just by what...
Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley (D. OR) in support of his colleague, U.S. Senator Heidi Heitkamp’s (D.

The GOP polling firm, the Trafalgar Group, has a polling testing the Indiana U.S. Senate race between the incumbent U.S. Senator Joe Donnelly (D. IN) and businessman Mike Braun (R. IN). The poll has good news…. for Democrats! The poll was conducted between 7/31/18 to 8/7/18. It surveyed 1,420 respondents. The...
FAIL! The top Senate candidate’s website is replete with Getty stock images from around the globe, from Serbia to Indonesia, Hungary to the United Kingdom, to illustrate his made-in-America political views. One notable shot: Cramer, a staunch ally of Trump who has campaigned heavily on a border-security crackdown, uses a stock...
Well, this isn't going at all the way that Ditch McConnell had planned, which is fine by me. Nothing puts a smile on my puss faster than a case of the sadz on McConnell's. What, oh what is a sniveling, double dealing, back stabbing little sycophant like McConnell supposed to...
Earlier this week, I posted an article about the impending danger of His Lowness' kindergarten slap fight with the Koch brothers. It turns out that once again I underestimated the level of Trump's incompetence. Which is understandable, since once you get to a depth that crushes submarines like an empty...
Please Dios, let this be the start of something big. Fresh off of another political version of a bachelor party in Florida last night, His Lowness is obviously full of piss and vinegar. Now he's picking a public fight with the Koch brothers, calling them a “total joke.” Donald Trump's...
AUTHOR’S NOTE: North Dakota is one of two states, the other being Minnesota, in which the state chapter of the Democratic Party operates under a different name. While most of the attention on North Dakota’s 2018 elections has focused on the U.S. Senate race in North Dakota, where U.S. Senator...
OK gang, hop into my trusty wayback machine with me, and let's return briefly to the dark day of November 9th, 2016. I want to do a quick comparison of the GOP's feelings on the day after the election, and compare it to the reality of today for the GOP....
Earlier this afternoon, the Senate voted to confirm Rex Tillerson as Secretary of State. Plenty has been written here about what a loathsome choice Tillerson is for the position, and I’m sure we’ll see that play out in the coming weeks and months. But for now, the problem is in...
