“The photo, taken last month at an announcement about proposed legislation to expand background checks for firearms purchases, carried the headline in large letters: “Target Practice.”” They are about killing people, not defending the Constitution. They want guns to go after liberals and kill them. They keep telling us that. Stop taking them at their… Continue reading N.R.A.

Loyalty to Trump cost Michael Cohen everything. Republicans pay heed
“Cohen had a warning for the Republican stooges sitting in front of him. They were in danger of becoming just like him. “I’m responsible for your silliness because I did the same thing that you’re doing now for 10 years,” he said. “I protected Mr Trump for 10 years.”” Loyalty to Don Cheeto is a… Continue reading Loyalty to Trump cost Michael Cohen everything.

Read Michael Cohen’s opening statement here
“To be clear: Mr. Trump knew of and directed the Trump Moscow negotiations throughout the campaign and lied about it. He lied about it because he never expected to win the election. He also lied about it because he stood to make hundreds of millions of dollars on the Moscow real estate project. And so… Continue reading Read Michael Cohen’s opening statement here
RNC tells Michael Cohen to ‘have fun in prison,’ as GOP readies war room to push back on testimony
“Convicted felon Michael Cohen is going to prison for lying, including lies he told under oath to Congress,” RNC chairwoman Ronna McDaniel told Fox News.” One thing stands out as odd about the GOP defense here. Why didn’t the president do something when Cohen lied to Congress? He would have known, right? White House council… Continue reading RNC tells Michael Cohen to ‘have fun in prison,’ as GOP readies war room to push back on testimony
Ivanka Trump and the big lie of right wing populism: “our people” need help, “those people” are lazy.
“President Trump’s daughter and a White House senior adviser, lauded her father’s economy and said the majority of Americans ideologically believe differently than Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., in an interview with Fox News host Steve Hilton.” This is the core lie of right wing populism, the one that all the other lies are built on. “our… Continue reading Ivanka Trump and the big lie of right wing populism: “our people” need help, “those people” are lazy.

Fox & Friends host says Ocasio-Cortez’s staff salary plans ‘socialism and communism on display’
Fox is acting in bad faith here. If AOC didn’t work to make sure every staffer had a living wage they would have called her a hypocrite. There is nothing she can do that FOX will not cover in the more unflattering and unfair way possible. Let’s stop pretending this is honest criticism. “”Fox &… Continue reading Fox & Friends host says Ocasio-Cortez’s staff salary plans ‘socialism and communism on display’
New Hampshire Law Illegally Targets Young Voters Ahead of 2020 Primary
The GOP doesn’t want Democrats to vote and they are willing to lie cheat and steal to keep minority rule. “By requiring people to pay up to hundreds of dollars in vehicle registration fees if they register to vote, the law unconstitutionally restricts voting rights and, in particular, targets New Hampshire’s students and young people… Continue reading New Hampshire Law Illegally Targets Young Voters Ahead of 2020 Primary
The Real Origins of the Religious Right
Worth reading ever word from top to bottom. There has been too much revisionist history from the religious right. “it wasn’t until 1979—a full six years after Roe—that evangelical leaders, at the behest of conservative activist Paul Weyrich, seized on abortion not for moral reasons, but as a rallying-cry to deny President Jimmy Carter a… Continue reading The Real Origins of the Religious Right
What Robert Mueller Knows—and Isn’t Telling Us
If this is all a hoax then there needs to be an explanation for why so many in Trump’s inner circle lied about contacts with Russia. “Of course, one possible explanation is that the content of the conversations was completely innocent—totally normal directions and innocent chitchat about “adoptions,” sanctions, potential business deals, and geopolitical diplomacy.… Continue reading What Robert Mueller Knows—and Isn’t Telling Us
