Manafort Offered Insider Election Info To Russian Oligarch. Read that headline again. Trump’s campaign manager offered private election briefings to a Russian oligarch. Two weeks before the convention. For a price, of course. Speaking of which… Report: 32 Million To Lose Health Care Under Graham-Cassidy. BTW, I’ll say it again. Lindsay Graham is perhaps the […]

Where is he on minimum wage, death penalty (where Marshall, to put it charitably, has been wobbly), willingness to raise taxes to pay for vital programs, etc.? What is […]
Hillary Clinton’s Attacks On Bernie Sanders Are Um, Untrue
Let’s first figure out what she’s complaining about.
