Multi-billion dollar manufacturing plants for electrical vehicle batteries, providing 2000 jobs per plant, are already rising in Michigan and Georgia. Fossil fuel pipelines, already partly built like...
Good God, when will they learn? DO NOT tease the AOC on Twitter. She will rip your arm out of its socket. Metaphorically, of course. It started with this tweet … .@AOC, our offer still stands – come on down to Georgia, we'll buy your ticket!https://t.co/tH3cxGlqGw — David Perdue (@DavidPerdueGA)...
Donald Trump’s closing argument for another term boils down to … COVID isn’t such a big deal after all and Joe Biden is super-corrupt. Of course, Trump has long since locked down the delusional asshole vote, but a new poll suggests he’s failed to make inroads among members of the sane community. To wit:...
Received this e-mail from bad ass Rep. Katie Porter (D. CA-45) in support of Jon Ossoff’s (D. GA) U.S. Senate campaign: In 2018, I ran for Congress against a two-term Republican incumbent and won, becoming the first Democrat to represent my Orange County, California district in decades. It's safe to...
The Trump campaign goes virtual and now may attempt a national address to get more free media even after spreading the Trump virus at a fundraiser Thursday.

No way am I going to buy John Bolton’s book. That gruesome, caramel corn-looking motherfucker won’t get a penny from me. But, hey, the enemy of my enemy is (very temporarily) my friend, even if he looks like Wilford Brimley fucked one of Saruman’s orcs. And The New York Times...
(The headline is my own paraphrase, in case that wasn’t clear.) The House managers in Donald Trump’s impeachment trial — Adam Schiff, Jerrold Nadler, Zoe Lofgren, Hakeem Jeffries, Val Demings, Sylvia Garcia, and Jason Crow — just wrote an op-ed for The Washington Post in which they point out that Trump is...
Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley’s (D. OR) re-election campaign: Sen. Jeff Merkley (D. OR) Attorney General William Barr said that a president, by definition, cannot ever obstruct justice. When protesters were peacefully demonstrating in front of the White House for black lives and against police brutality, he supported...
Can’t say that I’m surprised. When you’re loyal to Trump, this is how you get rewarded: The Justice Department notified three senators on Tuesday that it will not pursue insider trading charges against them after an investigation into stock transactions from the early days of the coronavirus pandemic did not...

Received this e-mail from Jon Ossoff’s (D. GA) U.S. Senate campaign: Months ago, the U.S. Senate was briefed on the looming threat of the Coronavirus. Many Senators left the briefing truly alarmed. But how did Georgia’s Senator David Perdue respond? He didn’t try to warn us. He didn’t urge Trump...
Oh, Jesus, watch this derrière-chapeau try to claim that mail-in ballots are the end of democracy (second tweet). x Trump accuses Wisconsin Democrats of wanting to move today's election because they were scared about Trump endorsing a Republican, not because of the deadly pandemic. He then pushes lies about mail-in voting...
Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Ron Wyden (D. OR) in support of Reverend Raphael Warnock’s (D.

Yep: x Congress must act immediately to rein in our lawless Attorney General. Barr should resign or face impeachment. And Congress should use spending power to defund the AGâÂÂs authority to interfere with anything that affects Trump, his friends, or his elections.â Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) February 12, 2020 Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.)...
Today at a press conference following the 2020 Davos Global Economic Summit, Donald Trump claimed that he’d love to show up at his impeachment trial and confront his accusers.

Also, Grassley and Johnson today have sent document requests to begin an investigation into Ukrainian interference in the last election.

Kiev and Yalta, in the latter case at least Trump’s golf resort would be in the Russian zone. “The Trumps were looking to erect luxury resorts across the former Soviet republics, and Ukraine seemed like a promising location.
