I am watching the murder trial and I am flabbergasted as what I am witnessing as a former police dispatcher. Witness #1 KNEW there was something terribly wrong when she observed the suspect being pulled from the squad car after being apprehended. This is just something you know. It is...

Sixteen hours had been alloted to each side, The disgusting so called jurors and republican house of shame legislators went in to talk to the defense team. This is totally unethical and they should be cencured. I do think I figured out why they skipped down the hall like little...
I’ve seen roller coaster accidents that were easier to follow—and less unnerving—than that gory mess Trump counsel Bruce Castor presented earlier today. To say it was shambolic and meandering is to insult anyone who’s currently lost in a mall parking lot. I was half expecting a big novelty hook to...
Jim Acosta of CNN reports that a Trump advisor says that “Trump is F’ed if further criminal proceedings happen after this impeachment trial”. Bad lawyering happened and the GOP knew it. Donald Trump's own lawyer just argued that “tired” and “fed up” voters kicked Trump out of office. x Bruce...

So this has been one of the best backstories for a candidate: x .@SenDanSullivan works for #MitchMcConnell – he votes Mitch’s way 97% of the time. I’m a different kind of candidate – one who will always put #Alaska first. Watch our first TV ad and chip in to help...

Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Ed Markey’s (D. MA) re-election campaign: Last month, I called on President Trump to immediately begin using the Defense Production Act to produce the equipment we need to fight COVID-19. I was optimistic that our call had been heard when he finally claimed...
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...
Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Ed Markey’s (D. MA) re-election campaign: It is clear that we are at war with the coronavirus. In order to slow the spread of the disease, the United States needs to work together to flatten the curve by expanding testing capability and increasing...
So people are freaking out about whether we’ll have enough masks, ventilators, and other crucial medical equipment when COVID-19 cases peak in this country. It’s what one might call a hair-on-fire emergency. And yet the Trump administration is still acting as if everything will all work out somehow. A Saturday...
Kudos to U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D. OH) for calling out Moscow Mitch: Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) tore into Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Wednesday for how he maneuvered Donald Trump’s impeachment trial in favor of the president.

With his nomination of former Raytheon vice president and lobbyist Mark Esper for secretary of defense, Donald Trump essentially chummed the swamp with alligator feed. Of course, it was kind of a joke for Trump to put a defense contractor in charge of the DoD while at the same time...
Josh Marshall over at TPM has a must read about Democrats who signal weakness when it comes to confronting the patently disloyal Republican Party. As I have stated before, some political scientists have used the term “disloyal party” to identify political groups who as part of the political system act...
#UglyMelania was a top trend on Twitter, only followed by the ironic #BeBest hashtag for her ugly behavior. Never in our history have we had such a clueless and classless First Lady.

“Sideshow Amigos” and “Sideshow Shreks” still remain at large in our imagination, as the House Intel Committee deposed Ambassador Yovanovitch.

The Wall Street Journal in an editorial tries to rationalize the GOP stunt of crashing the Capitol SCIF. Because like the GOP, they’ve got nothing but process objections. Apparently fitness for office is irrelevant because Trump’s infallibility assumes that shooting someone on Fifth Avenue requires hitting a barn door. An editorial...

Lamprey in charge. Because we know how well that advice to fire James Comey worked out. Then again, can Individual-1 really trust a son-in-law. President Donald Trump has reportedly tapped son-in-law Jared Kushner to lead the fight against House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry. As reported by CNN on Friday, the president...
I bear no particular grudge against Alice M. Rivlin. She appears to have led a fine life of public service, and, as discussed below, considers herself a “moderate Democrat.” She is the type of moderate Democrat who was a member of the Simpson-Bowles deficit commission – and so I disagree...
