Biden Express goes through Ohio and Pennsylvania; Trump's call to RW militias continues
It does seem old-fashioned but the Biden post-debate train tour seems better than Trump’s promises to never return to (insert state) if he loses, which he did tonight in Duluth. x All aboard!

Schumer: 'Nothing is off the table' if Republicans ram through SCOTUS nominee before election
Now that’s what I like to hear. On a scale of 1 to “Donald Trump got shorted a McNugget in his lunch order,” the palpable rage is at about a 9 right now. And rising. But this may settle my humors some. Politico: During a Democratic Caucus call Saturday afternoon, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer told…
How Trump launders $$ through his golf courses
Adam Davidson of The New Yorker is a superb reporter who does his research, and is prepared to dig hard to get the information. He has put up a 13 tweet thread that goes into a fair amount of detail of how Trump inflates the nominal value of his UK golf resorts with money that…

Georgia officers held 5 black young teenagers going through a neighborhood at gunpoint.
Here we go again. Police officers decided to hold young teenagers at gunpoint as they walk through a Georgia neighborhood. See the entire episode here.

America is on fire; tensions are burning, and the conflagration potentially will consume us all. This…
The Pathway Home Goes Through the Democratic Party
I was running down my usual checklist of reminders as to why I cannot vote for a Republican and the list grows daily. Bill Barr destroying the Department of Justice by subverting the rule of law, Mike Pompeo turning State Department employees into gophers and insisting on the firing of those tasked with oversight, and…

ME-Sen: Sara Gideon (D) Hits Back At Trump's Plan To Force Through More Of His Extremist Judges
Received this e-mail from Sara Gideon’s (D. ME) U.S. Senate campaign: Sara Gideon (D. ME) President Trump is threatening to adjourn Congress early so he can quickly force through more of his far-right nominees.

Elizabeth Warren must stay in the race through the March 15 debate
I am not a fan of Biden. I believe he may relieve Trump as a symptom but he will not stop our society’s slide into oblivion. That said I believe he has one more test and it is by far his biggest one. He must emerge from the March 15 debate relatively unscathed. Biden has…

Through seven-layer word salad, Trump appears to say he'd go after Social Security, Medicare
Honestly, I don’t totally comprehend Trump-ese. No one does. Not even him. Everything he says seems to have been Google translated from English to Cantonese to Zapf Dingbats and back to English. But, hey, it sure sounds like Donald Trump just stated that he’s willing to take a few swats at entitlement programs like Social Security and…
