Rethugs Try To Disenfranchise Voters. In Missouri.  BTW, does the name ‘Ashcroft’ sound familiar? In New Hampshire. BTW, does the name ‘Sununu’ sound familiar? And, of course, nationwide. In the past week alone, we’ve also highlighted similar attempts in Florida, Georgia and Ohio. While Trump creates distractions, the single most underreported story is the ongoing attempt by Rethuglicans at all levels to keep people from voting.  It’s the only way they can win.

“Not You. I Meant the Fat Guy Right Next To You.” Does the thought of Trump fat-shaming anyone strike you as ironic?

Trump Seeks To Legalize Firing Transgender Workers.  In this administration, it’s a ‘dog bites man’ story.

Another Worthy Progressive Challenger Takes On Entrenched Incumbent.  Keep ’em coming.

One Scumbag Border Agent’s Story Shines A Light On A Rogue Agency.  Abolish ICE. It’s a refuge for people who are too racist to become police. Which is as racist as it gets. And this guy? After using his 4000-pound truck to run down a refugee, he’s sentenced on a misdemeanor. To paraphrase, I think, Sherman Tribbitt, they’re all a bunch of misdemeanors.

What do you want to talk about?
