14 Days To Craft A Response To Roe v Wade–Which He Delivers On A Friday. The new ‘Let Biden Be Biden’: To many increasingly frustrated Democrats, Biden’s slow-footed response on abortion was just the latest example of a failure to meet the moment on a wave of conservative rollbacks, from gun control to environmental protections […]
Joe Biden sure hired some first rate assholes
How do I know this? For one thing they are shitty at their jobs. For another, they are all leaking to the New York Times that they are “concerned” that Uncle Joe is too old. Whereas the only thing they seem genuinely “concerned” with is their post-Administration job prospects at CNN, CBS News, and even […]

Yes, Vince McMahon Is A Total Slimeball. He’s like Trump, he skates on everything. Not sure about this, though: Vince McMahon, World Wrestling Entertainment’s (WWE) longtime leader, allegedly paid out millions in hush money to a former female wrestler with whom he had a coercive sexual relationship and who was allegedly not brought back to […]
This is sad, but also an apt metaphor for the American working class
American workers did not fall, but were shoved into an industrial shredder by Bill Clinton and the “Corporations First” Democratic Party he was largely responsible for creating.
REV & Bill’s Next Excellent Adventure?
Mr. Musk’s (attempt to back out of the deal) sets up what is likely to be an ugly and protracted legal battle with Twitter. The billionaire signed a legally binding agreement in April to buy the company for $54.20 a share, waiving due diligence to get the deal done quickly. The terms included a $1 […]

1. Filing Deadline Tuesday At Noon. The only way that candidates can get on the ballot after that is, if either Party has a vacant slot, they can designate someone to fill that slot. 2. Kop Kabal Gangs Up On Kerri Evelyn Harris. Yet another Black candidate has filed. One Lamont Pierce. Three Black candidates, […]
The McIncest Continues
“The people” are clamoring to support Kathy McGuiness. …If by “the people” you mean people that Kathy paid through the Auditor’s office for what appeared to be campaign work. Check out this online ad: Would it surprise you to learn that “The Peoples PAC” is run by Tori Ann Parker? That’s right. The same Tori […]
Song of the Day 7/8: Chris Isaak, “Somebody’s Crying”
You’ve probably noticed that pronouns have become politically loaded. It’s become more common for people to declare themselves non-binary and ask that people use “they” instead of “he” or “she” because they don’t want to be assigned a gender or its attendant roles. I admit it irks me sometimes, particularly when I’m reading an article […]

Trump’s IRS Head Used Audits As Weapon.

Comey and his deputy, Andrew McCabe, […]

Song of the Day 7/7: The Who, “Boris the Spider”
Despite what Pete Townsend says in the introduction, it’s not a very strange song — it was just decades ahead of its time when it debuted on “A Quick One” in 1966. Yeah, sure, it’s supposedly about a spider. He couldn’t very well have called it Boris the Johnson, now, could he? That would have […]
Speaker Pete ‘Unavailable For Comment’ Watch: Day 7
I don’t think it’s funny no more: Well, I think it’s still funny. The House can’t do anything without him. And he’s holed up somewhere. The D Caucus can’t unilaterally get rid of him since the Speaker is elected by the entire House. I don’t think the House rules envisioned this scenario. I mean, would […]
