Ginni Thomas Leads Fight To Oust Those On Trump’s Enemy List. One of the most venal power couples in DC: The mute Supreme Court Justice and his RWNJ wife.

Will It All Be Over By Super Tuesday? Sanders put together a racially-diverse coalition and made inroads among moderates. Oh, and the last South Carolina poll has him within a couple of points of Ol’ Joe. I remain concerned, very concerned. But Bernie has by far the best organization going, and by far the best […]

The Russians Boost Bernie? In this age of disinformation, I don’t know what to believe, but I sorta believe this. What it means is that the Rethugs, who used to develop their dirty tricks in-house (See: Muskie, Edmund) are outsourcing a significant portion of it to Putin. Everyone OK with that? AOC Builds Progressive Campaign […]

Did Trump Offer Julian Assange A Pardon In Exchange For Kremlin Krumbs? Evidence suggests that, yes, yes he did. Using the Kremlin’s favorite Kongressman, Dana Rohrabacher. Trump Nominates Another Fox To Guard Henhouse. Yes, of course, an ‘acting appointee’, as opposed to someone requiring Senate approval. I would welcome a skeptic to be the Director […]

Bloomberg Attacks So-Called ‘Bernie Bros’. Bloomberg as victim. Right. If you can’t simply demean the candidate, demean his supporters. How did that work out with Hillary calling out the ‘Deplorables’? Boy Scouts Declare Bankruptcy. So that they don’t have to pay for allowing pedophiles to run rampant on their watch. Federal Judges Call Emergency Meeting […]

Study: Medicare For All Doesn’t Suck. Study says that it would save Americans $450 billion per year and prevent 68,000 deaths annually.
