vindictive Trump won't support covid stimulus vote until after election day, could tank the economy
Looking more like pathological Trump is going full scorched earth, not caring whether his “Trump checks” will get to potential voters. The economy will likely tank (more), now that Trump wants to give winning Dems more grief for the Blue Tsunami. And then there’s the super-spreader candidate for SCOTUS. Trump says he told Senate Republican leader McConnell to…
MT-Sen: Daines (R) Voted To Reauthorize Visa Program Rampant With Fraud After Getting Huge Donation
The right-wing publication, The National Review, has been pushing this narrative against Governor Steve Bullock (D. MT) in his bid to unseat U.S. Senator Steve Daines (R. MT): ‘When you invest in Montana, you have the full support of the state,” Governor Steve Bullock says at the conclusion of a video soliciting Chinese investment in…

Sen. Ron Johnson attended GOP fundraiser after testing positive for COVID
Hmm, RoJo the Clown doesn’t care if he kills his supporters either, apparently. The Daily Beast: U.S. Senator Ron Johnson tested positive for COVID-19 on Friday. But, after finding out he had the virus, which has killed more than 220,000 Americans to date, the Wisconsin Republican still chose to attend an Oktoberfest fundraising dinner that…

Take heed. Agree or not.. We have to be careful on the nomination until AFTER the election.
Yes, this is wrong on so many levels to nominate a judge before RBG is warm in her resting place. I said in another comment if Jane Fonda had been nominated or anyone left of her, I would still be against a nomination this close to a presidential election. The whole ball of wax…
NC-Sen: Thom Tillis (R) Now Has “Grave Concerns” After Election Board Makes Mail-In Voting Safer
Of course he does: U.S. Sen. Thom Tillis said Thursday he has “grave concerns” about North Carolina’s absentee by-mail system, less than two days after he said he had so much faith in the system that he challenged his Democratic challenger, Cal Cunningham, to vote by mail. Tillis’ about-face comes after the North Carolina State…
Dr. Fauci exposes Sen. 'Dr.' Rand Paul as a quack after his misinforming Right-Wing question
Dr. Fauci did not disappoint as he calmly made it clear that Senator Rand Paul, supposedly a doctor of some type, is nothing but a quack. And he did it civilly. Dr. Anthony Fauci showed who is the real doctor x x YouTube Video See full episodes here. Rand Paul must have thought that he could…
Trump and GOP setting up the courts to rule undemocratically after the impending Progressive win.
First of all, my most sincere condolences to the family of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. She will be missed. This has changed the calculus. We will have a lot of strategizing going forward. I did the video below a few months ago and it is now even more apropos. It is not solely about Progressives…
NYT, “Democrats shatter the ActBlue site’s donation records in the hours after Ginsburg’s death.”
From The New York Times: Democratic donors gave more money online in the 9 p.m. hour after Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died — $6.2 million — than in any other single hour since ActBlue, the donation-processing site, was launched 16 years ago. Then donors broke the site’s record again in the 10 p.m. hour when…

Lincoln Project goes hard after Lindsey Graham – w/update
comparing him to a parasite, and pointing out the way to get rid of a parasite is to deprive it of its host which in this case has the initials DJT WARNING — some of the images in the video are disturbing x South Carolinians have voted for Lindsey before, but this is the first…
Fox, after confirming #LoserSuckergate, tries cleanup. Mayor Pete stopped them.
I rescind my belief that Democratic politicians shouldn’t go on Fox under any circumstances. Mayor Pete forced their brainwashed viewers to confront reality. Most rightwing outlets have decided to just completely ignore this latest Trump scandal, where he called fallen soldiers “losers” and “suckers,” and instead focus on Nancy Pelosi’s hairdresser. Faux News desperately wanted to run this…
No Debates? After all, haven't we heard enough, and Trump will flee the stage anyway
Trump’s a coward, we know this from the biographies and his own words about cruelty and blood. Why subject the public to more windbaggery and decompensation. Ultimately it is about legitimizing Trump, or rather making an obvious display about an obvious choice. Then again we’ll see some Tara Reade stunt by Trump reminiscent of the…
Trump Approval DROPS After 2 Days of the Republican Nationalist Convention
What Donald Trump promised would be an optimistic and hopeful celebration of Republican leadership has predictably turned into a dystopian nightmare exalting an aspiring totalitarian dictator. The dark and hostile themes articulated by one speaker after another were unflinchingly foreboding and resolutely reverential of Trump and only Trump. This steadfast devotion to the Cult of…

Received this e-mail today from Governor Steve Bullock’s (D. MT) U.S. Senate campaign: Steve Bullock (D. MT) Last week, dozens of blue USPS mailboxes were removed without explanation from cities and towns across Montana. Now, the mega-donor appointed as Postmaster General is refusing to return them all.
