Republican Corruption

The Rotten Core of the Republican Party -Binyamin Appelbaum -NYT Representative Kevin McCarthy of California, the top House Republican, recently took to social media to warn that Democrats have hatched a dastardly plot. “Democrats,” he said, “want to track every penny you earn so they can then tax you and...

Minerva @ Midnight: April Fools – Baylor U. conservatives think slavery was good

Change as a rising tide seems to be falling short as history’s stream is not as mighty. Apparently slavery is still “ordained by God for ultimate good” at Baylor University, as a RW campus group wants to accuse the University of canceling its “Christian identity”. No mention of its athletic team’s...

Let's not let the perfect be the enemy of the good: fossil-fuel subsidies are still in trouble

iu2

Trump has pimped for the fossil fuel industries because it’s still about money, just like dialing back some election promises in order to reinstate them after election day. Because the Trump recession needs to be fixed, and taking back Congress will move re-regulation back to the clean energy agenda, rather...

144 days left for Lando Cotton to name the Obelisk of Wokeness as the GOP goes for distraction

EZ3G8FxU8AALl9s1

Apparently the disinformation default for the GOP is to ridicule the iconoclasm of decommissioning  US monuments and exaggerate illogical alternatives, while trying to get its base to waive its right to sue for damages if they go to a rally and get sick. The Obelisk of Wokeness actually sounds kind...

Krugman: On China trade war, Trump is a big loser who 'talks loudly but carries a small stick'

Donald Trump is declaring victory in his trade war with China. Of course he is. He always claims victory, even — in fact, especially — when he loses. Remember the 2018 midterm elections? You’d have thought Republicans had won every seat and exacted punitive damages from Democrats who’d had the temerity...
