Coons’ Chickenshit Response to Chuck Grassley Fails to Mention Grassley
Coons is getting shit for his mewling obsequiousness in the face of Grassley’s insane rant telling Fox News’ national audience that IRS agents are going to be busting down the doors of small businesses with guns blazing.

Song of the Day 8/18: Patty Griffin, “Be Careful”
From a political standpoint, the end of Roe v. Wade has been a boon for Democrats. From a practical standpoint it’s causing, and will continue to cause, misery, injury and death to women.
