It takes little enough of courage to wake up between clean sheets knowing that breakfast is a certainty.

Now that the Scandinavians has insulted trump by awarding the Nobel Prize to someone who actually deserved it, will he be sending troops to Minnesota?

We need a pro democracy movement in America.

Congratulations to Maria Corina Machado, recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize - her incredible optimism has already changed her country. I spoke to her, and wrote about her, at the beginning of this year:

New York Attorney General Letitia James, a Trump foe, is indicted by Trump’s DOJ

She has been charged with one count of bank fraud by the same U.S. attorney who brought charges against James Comey.

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

Truman didn’t get the Nobel Prize for ending WW2. The current occupant of the White House has an even more dubious claim.

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

He’s not really the president. He just plays one on a reality television show.

This is the best I have seen Schumer in a very long time.

The government is shut down because Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you.

And they won’t even come to the table to talk to us about it.

This is not about politics. It's about people.

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

NFW is a term I first heard used by Teamster officials at contract negotiations. They company would offer a proposal and the Teamsters would say “We’re marking that as an NFW.”
