Every story on Daily Kos right now: Mike Pence put contempt for truth and his opponent on display, but Kamala was up to the job ‘Let’s set the record straight’: Sen. Harris needs only 7 seconds to fact-check Mike Pence This administration has forfeited their right to reelection: Harris begins...

Now they’re just making things up. US Department of Justice designates #NYC as an anarchist jurisdiction. Seattle and Portland OR are also on the list because a couple of blocks in each city were involved. x Here is the current pace of what the murder rate might be in 2020 for...
I will vote for Amy McGrath, and I have given her money before. I will support her to the best of my ability. I want to get all that on the record because I’m going to layout what I think is some caution about her political strategy. McGrath is going...
Martha McSally ran for Congress multiple times in 2012, both in a special election that year and in the regular election. She lost both races. She tried a third time in the wave election year of 2014, and won by the skin of her teeth—under 200 votes. She then ran...

People from the deep South do not consider Kentuckians to be Southerners, but we really are to be honest. Yes, technically we are a border state that never seceded from the Union, but we had slavery. And many of our attitudes are similar to other Southerners. And we are now...
Unlike the late night comics, I didn’t find it funny nor amusing that Trump called himself an “extremely stable genius” and then went around the room to demand his toadies proclaim how great and calm he was after his temper tantrum. It wasn’t funny to me—more along the lines of...
Democratic Congressman John Yarmuth (KY-3rd) has called for or believes it is time to start impeachment hearings against Trump. U.S. Rep. John Yarmuth believes it is time to begin impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump. Yarmuth, chairman of the House Budget Committee, told CNN Tuesday morning that waiting until the...
Some of the gutless GOP Senators decided to blab to the Washington Post and Politico about the latest meeting they had with the Mad King Trump. The Mad King is feeling GREAT! and wants to fuck over Puerto Rico and take away healthcare from millions. We have the usual frauds...
I have some issues with outgoing Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill. Yes, I am definitely going to miss her vote in the Senate, especially now that the Republicans have a greater majority in that “august” body. But I have to nitpick on some of what she said in an NPR interview...
I want to highlight what Mike Lux over at Crooks and Liars has written about the redstate Senate contests in 2018 and 2020. No, it is not gloom and doom. In 2018, we saw three different strategies to winning in red state America. The first was to run as a...
I do not know what to say, except I was dead wrong on two U.S. Senate Races: IN and TN. I thought for sure that Donnelly would win because, well, he threw people like me under a bus and ran the bus back over me. I do not know if...
There is record setting early voting turnout for Tennessee, but what does this mean for Phil Bredesen? Once again, in my miniseries on “What is going on in other states because there is not much happening in Kentucky?”, I’m just trying to figure out if I should be hopeful or...
I’m seething a little bit here, because I just listened to Karl Rove on Fox “News” smear the victim. Fox has been constantly reminding people that Brett Kavanuagh’s victim, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, is a registered Democrat. Breitbart jumped in and dug up some dirt on her: she had the audacity to oppose Trump’s child cages,...
News from Alabama Democratic Senator Doug Jones on Kavanaugh: x This was a very brave step to come forward. It is more important than ever to hit the pause button on KavanaughâÂÂs confirmation vote until we can fully investigate these serious and disturbing allegations. We cannot rush to move forward...
According to a friend of mine on Facebook — a hardcore conservative, there is a story being promulgated by Redstate that Beto O’Rourke’s campaign asked a VFW chapter to take down their flag while he was there. This is my first official brush with fake news. I really have not been...
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...
When a new blockbuster movie comes out, the producers know that they're in trouble when the rave reviews they can put on their ads are all about the scenery, the costumes, and the theme song. When the critics don't mention the stars or the plot, you know you're in deep...
If Redstate Democrats want cover for maybe — they are all quiet for now — not voting for Trump’s evenutal judicial nominee to the SCOTUS, I think they could argue that a vote for a Trump nominee means the death of healthcare coverage and protections brought by the ACA to millions. Just...
