Professor Heather Cox-Richardson gives a perspective on an ugly stopgap bill passed by the Senate after the House sent it over. It was a pass it or to kill it and leave the government unfunded move by The House. So it was passed when Schumer and other Dems joined with Repubs in a 62-38 vote […]
Sunday March 9th The “Constitutional Interregnum” – by New Deal democrat Is there anything that can be done with a President who has the support of 1/3+ one member of the Senate? Since he can’t be impeached and convicted, which requires 2/3’s of the Senate, and as of last July per the Supreme Court he is […]
“The New Know Nothings’ wrecking ball” – by Merrill Goozner GoozNews Pictures from this weekend’s Stand up for Science at the Lincoln Memorial sent me scrambling for the history books. Thousands turned out to protest the cuts in science funding ordered by the New Know Nothings: A president who declares global warming a hoax; a […]
I acquired this listing of not-to-be used words from Digsby’s Hullabaloo. This looks like a laughable moment that our government would spend time doing this. Or is it? Trump seeking to purge the federal government of “woke” initiatives, and agencies flagging hundreds of words to limit or avoid. This is according to a compilation of […]
More political coverage this morning. If one can call it such.

Certainly, it is not what I and others were expecting to see and hear. If I read this commentary properly and understood? Prof. Heather Cox Richardson accuses todays’ US citizenry of living in some fantasy land, disregarding vaccines, taking on fascist activity and symbols, and having a lack of understanding of what the United States […]
This has been taking shape for a while now. The either-or threat is coming soon enough. The wrong president is in place to contend with this. Otherwise, the president would be demanding Musk stop. Instead, the president is in support of Musk. Just waiting . . . Where is Congress and the Supreme Court? How […]
Many moderate and liberal Democrats believe the party should sideline progressive advocacy groups. The groups sometimes make extreme and unpopular demands that damage the Democrats’ brand and prevent needed compromise. It appears to me that some critics would be happy kicking the groups to the curb. I largely agree with the diagnosis (see here, for […]
I would expect no less . . . The Swiss city of Geneva is planning to pay CHF10 million (One CHF (Swiss Franc) = $1.11 US Dollar) of NGO worker wages following the United States decision to freeze humanitarian aid for 90 days. I guess the Swiss are telling the US to pound sand. I […]
