Carper has yet to respond to a debate challenge issued by Kerri Harris.

I can't get enough of Charles Pierce these days... False equivalence strikes again in the pages of The New York Times. In Georgia, a Democrat named Stacey Abrams is running…

Coons is getting a lot mileage out this video in which he reads the U.S. code that plainly says it is unlawful for a person to accept anything of value…

In news that's certain to pique the interest of a certain former vice president, polling shows Joe Biden thumping Trump 44-37 in a head-to-head matchup. On the other hand, while…

It is very simple. Type 1) You think that corporations need fewer regulations and lower taxes to thrive. You feel that "a rising tide raises all boats" and that when corporations thrive the economic benefits will eventually be distributed throughout the economy. Type 2) You think that the government should serve as a check on corporations to ensure that the economic benefits are equitably distributed throughout the society. I recently spoke to a very earnest Democrat who was a confirmed "Type 1" Democrat. In spite of 30 years of evidence to the contrary, this person is a Clinton voter who thinks that the DJIA is the economy.

Inside-the-beltway pundits see Democrats all over the political spectrum winning elections and write that the intra-party warfare is overblown. Those outside the beltway have a clearer view: The neo-liberal "moderates"…

John Atkins is out on a measly $18,000 cash bail. After being re-arrested for stalking the woman he is charged with assaulting in July, John Atkins, tried to contact the woman again on Tuesday. During all of this malevolence, Atkins has not been required to surrender any of the many guns he frequently brags about owning on social media.

It seems like weeks* now since we first learned that Chris Coons' lunatic, over-the-top mania for bipartianship put him in direct contact with 50 Russian operatives at the National Prayer breakfast. Is he going to continue to co-chair the nest of spies breakfast? What did he talk about with his Russian contacts? What state secrets did he reveal between prayers?
