A Senate deal that abandons health subsidies…

The US Congress is too generously insulated from the financial pressures that the rest of us have to endure so acting upon abstractions is too easily rationalized.

I will be changing my party affiliation from Democrat to Independent this morning.

The only thing Bari Weiss exposed in leaving the NYT is that she doesn’t have what it takes to be a contender. That’s what Larry Ellison found appealing about her, she’ll buckle under the right kind of pressure, so she’s not really any kind of threat to the oligarchy.

Maybe the most ironic thing about Trump’s disregard for our institutional norms is that it was respect for those very norms that shielded him and kept him out of prison.

The so called moderate republicans must think they can save the Republican Party from itself. They are mistaken. Maybe they know this. Maybe that’s why they’re holding on so tightly. They refuse to accept that this administration’s assault on our democracy is an assault upon them as well.

Holy shit. This legit gave me chills.

Texas State Rep. Ann Johnson clapped back at GOP members amid Wednesday's redistricting vote.

WHITE WOMEN, this is the model. We have more power than others. We are the last to be silenced. We have a responsibility to SPEAK so others are HEARD.

Private army for the president. What could go wrong?

Pretorian Guards. Highly vetted loyalist extremists who will die for Trump. These 600 will kill American Citizens & smile/laugh while doing it.

And the media is complicit as always by not calling it out for what it is.
Trump looking to create squad of 600 troops to deploy across US against civil unrest
Troops would be equipped with weapons and riot gear, ready to deploy within an hour under the reported plans

Reminder: we don't need Ghislaine Maxwell to get to the truth.

It's sitting in files inside the DOJ that they could release TODAY.

She is a liar, a child rapist, and a sex trafficker.

Blanche is meeting with her to buy her silence, nothing more.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
