Trump has us 'flying blind' on flu vaccines due to his boneheaded decision to leave the WHO.
In a few months, winter will arrive, and we are woefully unprepared for the sicknesses of the flu and cold season. It may be impossible to tell who is sick with a respiratory condition and someone who has COVID, a scenario that could cripple our health care system across the country. Trump has squandered every…
'Leave Democrat cities. Let them rot': Trump retweets a deplorable call for division
I live in a blue state, and it’s pretty clear what Donald Trump thinks of me. From his peevish attitude toward the tribulations of Puerto Ricans to his threats to cut off disaster funding to California, it’s become more than obvious that Trump sees some Americans as more American than others. And sometimes he wears that attitude…
Two black people leave restaurants on bad terms. One avoids police the other stand their ground.
I blogged two Daily Kos articles recently and titled them respectively “NFL player & friends asked to leave Chipotle ’cause white customer uncomfortable.’” and “A Black pregnant woman dragged out of her car by a cop and tased on her stomach.” There were similarities in that the racial component was there. The differences were what the aggrieved…
NFL player & friends asked to leave Chipotle ’cause white customer uncomfortable.
The Right gets upset when we call out systemic racism. This week black football player Darius Leonard was thrown out of a Chipotle restaurant. Last week Marcia Grant and her family were denied entrance into Ouzo Bay restaurant under the pretext of her son's attire even as another white family similarly attired was eating there. Chipotle throws…
He doesn't need to be in this country, let alone president. Leave and take the cult with you. A Rant
I have been a veterans advocate for years. I never ever heard one say that when at war they whined and complained about sleeping in the rain and mud while taking a crap holding on to a tree with people shooting at them, I have never heard them say they thought about just leaving and…
NJ-Sen: Sen. Cory Booker (D) Pushes The Call For Congress To Expand Paid Sick & Family Leave
Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Cory Booker’s (D. NJ) re-election campaign: It’s this simple: no one should be forced to go to work sick, no one should be forced to leave a sick family member to go to work, no one should be forced to choose between taking care of themselves or their…

more Arms for Dirt: Giuliani associates arrested while trying to leave the country
Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman were nabbed at Dulles airport (perhaps) “trying to flee the country” and have been indicted for financial violations but more importantly in connection to Rudy Giuliani’s role in the Arms for Dirt scandal.

Leave Vladimir Putin Alooooooooooooone!!!!
We have reached the point of absurdity. Joe Scarborough, who is no friend of mine, tweets out that Epstein’s suicide murder might have a Russian connection, because like you know this is the type of thing Putin does over and over again for — well he would do it for five dollars and a subway…
Republicans move to exempt 93.5% of Michigan companies from paid sick leave law.
