“The states are part of the country.” — Donald J. Trump

The lingering insult considering the number of fatalities is the willingness of people to capitalize on the necessity of PPEs. The biggest insult is Trump assuming that profit always trumps people. x Thankfully @jonkarl pressed him again. Trump said the supplies are being saved for surges, and ultimately said yes,...

This country's going to need billions of masks: what about that Defense Production Act, Donald?

Like Trump’s toughness, pretending you’re using the Defense Production Act of 1950 and hoping for corporate volunteerism is not the same thing especially if you claim you’re in “wartime”. WWII was won with national production planning that overwhelmed the enemy. Trump’s enemy is as he says “invisible”, much like his...

As wheels come off the country, Trump tweets, 'BIGGEST STOCK MARKET RISE IN HISTORY!'

First of all, you’d have to have a head full of sawdust to buy into this market right now. Secondly, the only reason the stock market rose by nearly 2,000 points yesterday is that it fell by more the previous day after getting pummeled half to death all week. In...

only a psychopath threatens to bomb 52 places in your country, then orders you not to kill anyone

Because “enemies of the people” like the press should roam free. And even the US Secretary of Defense knows nothing about the “four embassies” supposedly targeted by Soleimani. “The only problem is he doesn’t want them to roam free in the U.S., because he says to us a free press...

Progressives around the country strongly urge the 2020 candidates to take bold and fearless stances on several policy issues from immigration to a Green New Deal to Medicare for All. The results are in! In recent weeks, MoveOn sent a 2020 National Presidential Survey to tens of thousands of MoveOn...

Adam Schiff: 'The president doesn’t give a sh*t about what’s good for our country'

This has been clear for some time. In the hierarchy of things Donald Trump cares about, No. 1 is Donald Trump. Way, way down the list somewhere at No. 2 is Chicken McNuggets. Light-years beyond that, somewhere in the far reaches of inky-black space, is Ivanka Trump. After that, it’s just a...

There’s something very much like the Tiananmin protest of 1989 happening in Hong Kong right now, but it’s not 1989 anymore, so you wouldn’t necessarily know it—even if you dutifully watch the news. The news media has laid off thousands of journalists for the bottom line, finding it cheaper to...
