I don't think even having buddies like this is enough to disqualify Vance from polite DC, bipartisan society. J.D. Vance, the Republican nominee for Senate in Ohio, is typically described…

No matter how stupid the GOP's position is on any issue, our media always gives it equal standing with non-stupid positions.   So "Rapists should have paternal rights." gets equal…

This has been a very revealing election cycle.  All of the bloated plutocrats and their paid-off lackeys in Leg Hall have been throughly smoked out.  The bought and paid for…

Only 20 days to go.  Be sure to support your candidates with money and time.  This is a very significant primary.  But the movement is bigger than any single Election Day. Elections are an important part of a program of sustained activism, not an end in themselves.

Without mentioning the fucker by name, McConnell said that bad Senate candidates (hand picked by Trump) would probably lose because it is hard for terrible trump-y assholes to win statewide.…

Fox News ad revenue is down because there are only so many "My Pillows" willing to associate with the toxic brand.  Less ad revenue and fewer overall cable subscribers might turn out to be a perfect storm.

Multiple sets of analysis from Wall Street researchers show cable television as an industry in decline, with over 1.9 million subscribers cutting the cord in the second fiscal quarter of 2022, and over 5.4 million users leaving top pay-TV providers over the past year. ...Cord cutting is not a new phenomenon, but it is speeding up, and has been for years. The trend poses a threat to the financial health of institutional media companies, especially Fox Corp., due to the high proportion of revenue that comes from affiliate fees.

The kiddies among us may not remember, but when Ford pardoned Nixon he was praised for it by the sober centrists and moderates who just want everyone to get a…
