GA-Sen A: Ossoff (D) Calls For Law Requiring All Federal Officials Put Their Stocks In Blind Trusts
I like where’s going with this: A few days before she showed up at the state capitol on March 2 to qualify to run in a special election this year, Sen. Kelly Loeffler’s stock portfolio was very active. Records showed she and her husband Jeff Sprecher, whose company owns the New York Stock Exchange, sold stock…
Betsy DeVos 'very seriously' considering keeping federal funds from schools that won't reopen
Why do I get the feeling that coronavirus is a sentient hive-mind collective that’s infecting our leaders’ brains and forcing them to make stupid, pro-coronavirus decisions? How else can one interpret U.S. policy with respect to this pandemic? In an interview with Fox News’ Tucker Carlson last night, full-time Christian soldier and education policy hobbyist…
KY-Sen: By Withholding Federal Aid To States During A Pandemic, Moscow Mitch Is Defunding The Police
Fox News recently highlighted that Moscow Mitch is totally against the “defund the police” movement: Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Monday slammed the growing liberal momentum behind the “defund the police” movement as “outlandish.” His comments referenced the growing left-wing movement in cities such as Minneapolis — where George Floyd died last month in police custody — New York City and…
Still no national testing strategy as mask-free Trump tries to wipe away all federal regulations
The chaos continues as we’re only just beginning the scorched earth campaign on the way to the bunker. 167 days to go.

IL-Sen: Dick Durbin (D) Leads The Call To Stop Moscow Mitch’s Protege From Becoming A Federal Judge
Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin’s (D. IL) re-election campaign: Sen. Dick Durbin (D. IL) Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is bringing the Senate back in the middle of a pandemic to appoint Justin Walker, an unqualified judicial nominee described as a “McConnell protege.” There are more important things for the…
TX-Sen: Coronavirus Cornyn (R) Thinks $1 Trillion In Federal Aid Is “A Pretty Outrageous Number”
Dumb ass: Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), a member of GOP leadership, quickly poured cold water Thursday on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-Calif.) suggestion that state and local governments could need approximately $1 trillion more in federal assistance amid the coronavirus pandemic. “That strikes me as a pretty outrageous number, just for state and local…
Trump threatens to tie federal relief for states to 'sanctuary-city adjustments'
“I want you to do me a favor, though.” Attention blue states! If you want your people to live, be more racist! So Donald Trump, because he’s an irredeemable asshole, apparently wants states to follow his racist lead on sanctuary cities before they can expect to receive federal aid as a part of COVID-19 relief…
The Federal Government's COVID-19 Response Plan draft that Trump hasn't read
The Federal government excels at producing documents, in this case the head of the Executive Branch “looked the other way until it was too late.” This not-yet-released HHS report on COVID-19 projects an 18-month-long tsunami of nationwide disease and death. The Trump administration could’ve stemmed the tide but looked the other way until it was…
Federal Judges May Stage an Intervention?
It was predictable that the federal judiciary would not be happy with Hair Gropingfury ordering the DOJ around, not to mention calling out judges for following the law. Now it appears they might be planning to do something about it. Federal judges' association calls emergency meeting after DOJ intervenes in case of Trump ally Roger…
