Received this e-mail today from the progressive organization, Indivisible: When we woke up this morning, Senator Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) was trending on Twitter. And you should be pissed off. Yesterday, she told Politico that she’s opposed to including raising the federal minimum wage to $15 in the COVID-19 relief package moving through...

My local chapter of Indivisible shared Matt’s post. I have no idea who Matt is, but his post has gone viral. I know we have another 2 months of 45’s divisiveness, his cruelty and we will be subjected to more horror and heartache before this monster finally exits in January....

Received this e-mail from U.S. Senator Cory Booker’s (D. NJ) re-election campaign: Confederate statues are symbols of white supremacist violence and hate. These monuments glorify traitors who took up arms against the American people to uphold the vile institution of slavery and do not deserve to remain in places of...
Received this e-mail today from the progressive organization, Indivisible, in support of Joe Biden’s presidential campaign: Last week we wrote to you, the group leaders, members, and supporters of the Indivisible movement, to ask you a very important question: should Indivisible endorse Vice President Joe Biden for President? We believe...
In case you missed this: x ThereâÂÂs a key special election coming up in California on May 12, and IâÂÂm happy to support @ChristyforCA25. Christy has been an effective public servant from the school board to the CA Assembly, and we need her in Congress. Help her protect this seat!...
Brian Williams in his entry to the MSNBC show “The 11th Hour” was poignant and scary. It made it clear we have a president purposefully detached from reality even as it is all around him. A president living in fantasy land Williams enumerated a litany of lies, misleading information, and...
Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D. NY) nailed it yesterday on MSNBC’s Morning Joe: GOV. ANDREW CUOMO: I don’t think we ever get back to normal. I think this is one of the new normals now in public health, like we go through the environment, like we’ve gone through the economy. It...
CONTACT: covidresponse@fenton.com 646-207-1497 The following statement was released in response to reports that President Trump, Speaker Pelosi, and Leader Schumer are negotiating for an additional emergency relief package. “Our communities are facing a public health crisis, an economic crisis, and a crisis in democracy of historic proportions. We are deeply...
I like the sounds of this: Joe Biden’s campaign is mounting an aggressive behind-the-scenes effort to address the biggest weakness of his candidacy: A lack of enthusiasm among the liberal base, particularly young voters. Since his landslide victories earlier this month, Biden’s advisers have engaged in talks with a range...

I’ve always loved Elizabeth Warren’s “I Have A Plan For That Motto” because it rings so true. Today, she unveils three new plans that cover three big issues. First, the Coronavirus: Warren’s plan has several provisions, starting with attempts to help people who need or will need medical attention. She wants...
Received this e-mail today from Democracy for America: Are you familiar with AIPAC? The American Israel Public Affairs Committee is a powerful right-wing lobbying group that has given a platform to antisemites like Pastor John Hagee, who suggested God sent Hitler to hunt Jews, Islamophobes like Steve Emerson, who has...
Received this e-mail today from the progressive group, Indivisible: Big (bad) news on impeachment: The Denver Post reported yesterday that Cory Gardner is planning to oppose subpoenaing witnesses in the impeachment trial. Our path to getting a vote for witnesses is narrowing. But he hasn’t cast his vote yet and neither have...
Received this e-mail today from the progressive group, Indivisible: A few days ago, we wrote to tell you about a newly-formed plan: the Payback Project. We told you we’d get the details to you as soon as possible, and today we’re ready to unveil our initial plans. Before we get...
Received this e-mail today from the progressive group, Indivisible: If you’ve been on Twitter in the last few days, you’ve probably seen it: a video of Arizona Republican Senator Martha McSally lashing out at a CNN reporter, calling him a “liberal hack.” The question wasn’t exactly (read: at all) hack-ish — all...
This is why I fully support U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D. MA) in this primary: Sen. Elizabeth Warren wrapped up a three-day swing through southeast Iowa Monday, focusing on rural parts of the state fewer than two months shy of the caucuses. Warren traversed the southeast corner of Iowa, holding...
I used to like this guy. However, this arrogance says much. Senator Michael Bennet’s complete disregard for the serious Medicare for All debate occurring in the Democratic Primary shows that he is disconnected and oblivious to what ails poor and middle-class Americans. He should note that in the aggregate those...
Keeping it simple, even as there’s so much obstruction, self-dealing, and just basic corruption. x READ: Pelosi's 'fact sheet' on Trump impeachment Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office on Monday released a “fact sheet” detailing allegations against Trump amid House Democrats' ongoing impeachment inquiryhttps://t.co/tpKuSqtEb3â Indivisible Network (@IndivisibleNet) October 21, 2019 Trump Shakedown and...
A little while ago, I wrote about how the former U.S. Senate Majority & Minority Leader, Harry Reid (D. NV), gave the 2020 Democratic candidates a new litmus test when it gets to getting shit done once elected: Former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said this week that should Democrats take control of...
This got some news on TRMS: Indivisible Project Launches 5-Figure Ad Buy Urging Constituents to Hold Rep. Josh Gottheimer Accountable I don’t live in his district or NJ, so maybe someone from Gottheimer’s district will want to comment on this development. But I have never been a fan of conservative...

My picture gave it away but I am a big advocate for early calls for unity and The Daily Beast has a piece out that made me happy: x Donald Trump is the most dangerous president in the modern history of our country and he must be defeated; therefore I am proud...

“BBQ Becky.” “Permit Patty.” ”Pool Patrol Paul.” ”Cornerstore Caroline.” I guess i should be numb to this by now, yet this one tears into me. Jumping out of your Jag to yell about a baby sitting on the effing sidewalk is apparently a thing now. Kelyn and Isaiah Allen tried to take a few...
For your consideration. This was a damn fine speech. (close captioned — she begins @ 1:06:30) “I’m running for president because I love my country. I’m running to be a president by the people. Of the people. For all the people,” “We are here at this moment in this because...

One thing is for sure, 2018 had something for everybody. Well, pretty much everybody who was a Democrat, if you’re a Republican, you were shit out of luck. Election night turned into election fortnight, what with Broward county being its usual stumbling-down-the-stairs-drunk self, and California’s pony express style of mail in...
BBC More than 100,000 people have been marching in the German capital Berlin to protest against xenophobia and the increasing influence of the far right. Rights groups organised the rally, as marchers held placards reading “Indivisible” and “United against racism”. The BBC's Jenny Hill in Berlin says even the organisers...
Happy Sunday bunkies! I saw something funny on the news yesterday, so I thought I'd share it with you to lighten up your day before I hit the makeup chair at 4:30 for my big interview. And yes, I know it's a radio interview, but that just shows you how...
As you read this today (I wrote this last night), we are 108 days away from the November 2018 midterm elections. Polls continue to show high levels of Democratic enthusiasm, and the future hold the prospect of a world class bummer for His Lowness and the GOP 109 days from...
Is there anything we as progressives and Americans can do about the traitor Trump that we are not already doing? I’m not asking this as some rhetorical question. I realize that many are already part of the Resistance and work with Indivisible. And I will do my part for the...
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....
Yesterday, I posted a diary with a long (but still staggeringly incomplete) history of Kurdistan. Which brings us to more recent events… When 2017 began, Iraqi Kurdistan was maybe the most-autonomous region in the world which was nevertheless not truly independent. Kurdistan had its own military, its own police force. It...
