Economists in Support of a Medicare for All Health Care System

Trump serves yet another championship college football team fast food at the White House

Donald Trump

No word on whether they spent any time at the cee-ment pond. Politico: Trump on Monday once again welcomed a college football champion with a spread of fast food, serving the FCS champion North Dakota State University Bison chicken sandwiches from Chick-fil-A and Big Macs from McDonald's instead of a...

White House insiders are freaking out over leak of Trump's schedules

Hey, we all pretty much knew Donald Trump spends his days watching the teevee, tweeting gauche non sequiturs, and endlessly funneling beef and carbs into his tender baby-robin maw. But to have it confirmed via a White House leak? Yeah, how many times is this kind of thing going to happen...

We’ve taken to walks along Springerville Creek, west of Portland Oregon.  At some points it’s a quarter mile wide expanse of tall grasses between neighborhoods, with a narrow creek wending its way between larger ponds. The fence posts are from an old farm.  And at the larger ponds, that lovely...

Crybaby Republicans may try to curb new Wisconsin governor's power in lame-duck session

Scott Walker may have conceded, but his legacy will hang over Wisconsin for decades like a bratwurst fart. The list of things Tony Evers will have to unfuck is long and depressing (thanks for kneecapping the UW System so you could outpoll Jim Gilmore, dude), and now Wisconsin Republicans are signaling that...
