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...

CO-Sen: “Gardner’s (R) pre-existing conditions bill exists but is just 117 words of election fodder”

Donald Trump

From Ian Silverii at The Denver Post: Sen. Gardner’s record is not in dispute when it comes to his votes to eliminate the ACA without a replacement that protects people with preexisting conditions. He voted for every single repeal bill the Trump administration put forward, none of which protected people...

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...

You’d have thought Republicans had won every seat and exacted punitive damages from Democrats who’d had the temerity...
