I need to do a longer post on this, but Bill Powers financial report is fucking ridiculous. Completely, 100% bought by developers. Give some money to his primary opponent Dave…

Carper was one of only three Democrats who voted against the amendment to prohibit any cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid resulting from Trump’s tax bill.

Did the Unite the Right organizers really need to bother with a permit for their Sunday march in Washington? It attracted about 40 people, perhaps the biggest conservative crowd since…

There's little to learn from the weekend's flood of Charlottesville anniversary stories, except for this one, which has gotten almost no coverage: Rep. Tom Garrett, the Republican who represents Charlottesville…
