The airline industry has been hit especially hard during the COVID-19 pandemic because, for some reason, lots of us don’t want to hop into a crowded metal cylinder that, even in a non-COVID world, was roughly the hygienic equivalent of licking the bald heads of random Anytime Fitness customers during flu season....
Yeah, this was easy enough to predict. Part of voting against a COVID relief measure that polls better than dolphins riding glitter-farting unicorns on enchanted rainbow highways to free breadsticks and blowhole-waxing night at Olive Garden is that you’re morally obligated to sit back and take your lumps. But as we well...
From Rolling Stone: The Covid relief package is providing a platform for a historic Senate newcomer to deliver for a long-struggling constituency: black farmers. Led by Sen. Rev. Raphael Warnock of Georgia, Senate Democrats are touting a $5 billion provision in the relief bill that will wipe out federal debts...
Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth’s (D. IL) re-election campaign: Nobody who works a full-time job should be living in poverty. Period. That’s why I am asking you to sign my petition demanding the Senate raise the minimum wage to $15/hour as part of our COVID-19 relief package....
Republicans have been walking back their deeply held principles for years in the wake of Donald Trump’s massive … boat parades. All the same folks who once called me a traitor and an appeaser because of my strong opposition to the Iraq war are now suddenly against our “forever wars” and...
Trump’s staff may have tricked him into thinking he has a line-item veto. Attention-seeking becomes purer for the desperate POTUS*. Trump dithered because he thinks that improves an “unpredictability” brand that shines the turd of incompetence. Trying to make indecisiveness a fashion statement only works when horseshoes are hand grenades. One...
Donald Trump didn’t really say why he blew up the meticulously negotiated $900 billion stimulus bill, throwing Washington into chaos and screwing over millions of people who are simply trying to survive the winter. But since this is Trump, you can be certain the motive was both gobsmackingly petty and monumentally self-serving. Oh,...
Even as he puts his White House cronies on the board of the Kennedy Center, Trump criticizes its funding in the latest COVID relief bill. Pam Bondi, who took an illegal $25,000 donation from Trump to drop prosecution in the Trump University suit, gets a Board seat at the Kennedy...
Received this e-mail from Sarah Riggs Amico’s (D. GA) U.S. Senate campaign: Hey all, There’s no denying it: Thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, we’re seeing the beginning of a difficult economic downturn here in Georgia and across the country. Small businesses, the kind of companies that employ nearly 50% of...

“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...
Kudos to Josh Israel at The American Prospect for catching this: Sen. David Perdue (R-GA) defended a provision in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act that allowed banks to take billions in fees from the fund to save small businesses and protect their employee’s jobs. Asked about the...
BOOM! x YouTube Video A new ad from former Vice President Joe Biden’s presidential campaign accuses President Trump of shirking responsibility for the federal government’s coronavirus response and blasts him for feuding with governors. The new ad, viewed first by The Hill, is called “Buck Stops Here,” and it accuses...
Received this e-mail from the Pennsylvania Democratic Party: On Friday, Governor Wolf and state health officials released their plan to defeat COVID-19 and lead Pennsylvania back to prosperity. It’s a plan backed by science, data, and the needs of everyday people, and we think it’s important that every Pennsylvanian read...
This thing is for real and sad but we have to do like the folks in other trying times such as the Great Depression, Race riots, Feminist movements, other tragedies. Music is a soul soother. What do you really need outside of your domain? STAY HOME. Socialization is very important...
This is a robbery in progress,” wrote David Dayen, executive editor at The American Prospect. “And it's not a bailout for the coronavirus. It's a bailout for 12 years of corp. irresponsibility that made these companies so fragile that a few weeks of disruption would destroy them” McConnell declaring a...
Giving the GOP emergency powers is another scheme to loot the treasury, much like the attempts to defund social security and Medicare. So much cynicism in the GOP pimping a stimulus package that favors corporate income. x Sen. Jeff Merkley explains why Senate Democrats blocked Mitch McConnell's corrupt coronavirus stimulus...
Darn socialism helping fix a capitalist crisis, and then Trump used the $1,000/citizen meme, because relief.

538 declared Biden the winner of the last debate, and Morning Consult’s poll of 5000 shows Biden ahead. x Biden received the highest marks from the debate, but his high pre-debate favorability rating means we expected a lot of voters to be predisposed to viewing his debate performance in a...
