Federal Funding and Politics, and Safety? When does the latter out-weigh the former? A Texas county devastated by deadly flooding earlier this month had rejected federal funds in 2021. Funds that could have helped install a flood warning system. However, local officials and residents were arguing they didn’t want to be “bought” by the Biden administration. As far back as […]
If you believe Senator Josh, I have a bridge to sell you. The solution to the Pres is for all of the senators to band together and tell Herr Tr__p no more. Doing things after you vote is just another way of saying, “oh well, the majority beat me.” No character today, just followers, Sen. […]
This is a recorded piece. The link is below. I think you may be able to hear Joyce Vance and Adam Klasfeld discuss the judge’s questioning the government on what they are holding Abrego Garcia’. Throw on top of that El Salvador stating they had no power to hold 200 people in prison there. Our […]
I’ve been a bit baffled recently by comments by friends expressing anxiety about NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani. Yeah, I ignore the right-wing wind machine over at Fox. But since I stopped reading the gray lady, I missed the propaganda and misdirection she’s been pumping out. “The Times has it out for Zohran Mamdani. The […]
Dipping deep here to an old tune sung by the Temptations and then Edwin Starr. Tax Breaks to the wealthy do not pay for themselves and neither do they trickle down to lower income people. The 2017 Tax Break The reality is the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) did not pay for itself […]
Stable genius, me arse. Veritable idiot, more like. And, a neanderthal. Abysmally ignorant of state craft, of economics, of finance, of trade, of government, of science, of history, … of anything other than his own own oral anal. From anal to oral, gut to mouth, sixteen and more hours a day. But for Fred and […]
I’m seeing a lot of doom and gloom navel-gazing about the Democratic Party these days. I’m not a political pundit, but Josh Marshall is, and this ain’t his first rodeo. The weakness, in his eyes, lies with the party leadership and not with the party or its voters. “A lot of the weirdness of press […]
Bit of a rewrite . . . Democratic socialist who would become the first Muslim to be NYC mayor if elected. He first has to get past the right-wingers who have come out of hiding since Zohran Mamdani’s success in the Democratic primary for New York City mayor. Being a Democrat is one thing. Being […]
Defeated them on the field, Now, eliminating them in defeat. No humanitarian effort in the Gaza as legitimate aid groups are pulling out due to the dangers at the sites to the Palestinians and the relief effort. Tr__p needs to get off of his ass and stop the slaughter. Jared Kushner has praised the “very […]
The vulgar side of Robert Reich. “Office Hours: WTF do they tell themselves?” As Trump siphons away their power, how do congressional Republicans justify to themselves their total abdication of responsibility? Trump’s decision to strike Iran without congressional authorization has renewed debate over Congress’s constitutional role in the use of American forces. At almost every […]
