Because some Americans just can’t stop being awful long enough for us to digest the last awful thing, the media spin cycle seems to have largely washed away the March 16 Atlanta-area shootings that claimed the lives of eight people, including six women of Asian descent. The massacre further highlighted the kind...

So today, Donald Trump called an impromptu press conference in order to swiftly take credit for the rising stock market. After the Dow cleared 30,000 for the first time ever, Trump rushed to gild his own lily-white ass. (I assume he doesn’t spray-tan there, but who knows? I also assumed 70...
U.S. Senator Kyrsten Sinema (D. AZ) is featured in Mark Kelly’s (D. AZ) newest campaign ad to remind Arizona voters how awful Martha McSally (R. AZ) truly is: x YouTube Video It references the attacks McSally made on Sinema two years ago, which culminated in McSally in a 2018 televised...
Trump won in 2016 by running an insurgency campaign. Hillary was the epitome of the liberal elite who had taken over government and were using it to make us pay reparations to Blacks, to make every woman get an abortion, to …. well, insert your own QAnon screed. Trump was...
From Westword: During recent interviews, Gardner has said positive things about the way Colorado has conducted mail-in voting, and he did so again, more or less, during a forum not meant for public consumption: an August 5 telephone fundraiser. But in a transcript from the event obtained by Westword, he also sought to...
It is the GOP white whale, a continuing trope, to loot the social security system by eliminating it, and Trump wanted no defections in 2020. It is a sign of desperation to step on what has been a third rail of recent decades and a more symbolic attack on the...
Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Patty Murray (D. WA) in support of Mike Espy (D. MS), Jaime Harrison (D. SC) and Rev. Raphael Warnock’s (D. GA) U.S. Senate campaigns: There have only been ten Black Senators in the entire history of the U.S. Senate. Today, there are three...
So this is what happens when you take a cautious, science-based approach to a deadly pandemic. You reopen your economy safely! How bizarre. After reporting no new COVID-19 cases for more than two weeks, New Zealand has now lifted nearly all the restrictions it put in place in response to...
Receive this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D. MA): I’m no longer running for president of the United States. But our grassroots movement was never just about winning one election. In your state and across the country, people have come together to fight side by side for big,...
The Johnson impeachment was disastrous for GOP senators. Will history repeat itself, or will there be much more complex purges including revenge against Mitt Romney, John Bolton, and others. Because Trump is all about the… abuse of power. “But history does not look kindly on politicians who cannot fathom a...
Keeping Trump in power might be the best Iranian revenge for the assassination of Qasem Suliemani. One view could be that Trump, as a natural coward will ultimately reduce US forces and cede Middle East political influence to his masters in Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Russia, despite his preference for empty posturing...
The last time that a sitting President of the United States willingly chose not to seek a second term after being elected to either a first term or first full term as President was in 1968, when Lyndon Baines Johnson chose not to seek a second full term as President....
This is a major development on Capitol Hill, to put it mildly: Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine says she may change her vote on the GOP tax overhaul if her amendments are not included in the final measure. She tells (Bangor, Maine-based) WABI-TV she won’t make a final decision...
