When tax breaks for billionaires were set to expire in December, Republicans made that priority number 1—because heaven forbid billionaires have to worry about filling up their private jets!

But tax credits for families to afford health care? Republicans refuse to talk about it.

When the Nobel Peace Prize is announced on Friday, I hope it goes to the Cats of Ukraine. For their resilience, fortitude, and determination to defend their country's democracy.

After Gabby Williams, Dijonnai Carrington is the best perimeter defender in the league. Not really sure why she is not on the list, when all of these post defenders are who are really not all that good at anything defensively but blocking shots.

Kamala Harris won the Nov election. Musk hacked the results for Trump. The Dem party leadership, in a supreme act of cowardice, refused to do any forensic auditing of clearly implausible results...
The problem was not a female candidate; it was the cowardice or complicity of the old Dems in charge.

The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

Pritzker: “This is a convicted felon…who is threatening to jail me. This guy is unhinged. He's insecure. He's a wannabe dictator. And there's one thing I really want to say to Donald Trump: If you come for my people, you come through me. So come and get me.”

We have to assume that the FBI under "Bug Eyes" Patel has had the files scrubbed clean & utterly destroyed all evidence of Trump as the star pedophile rapist for decades with Epstein. It is time for the victims to simply name publicly all of the names of Trump's fellow rapists...

All these headlines saying “Bondi Goes on the Attack.” Really? She wasn’t in the octagon, she’s a public servant who was at an oversight hearing. Her job was to answer questions. She refused to do her job. Stop glamorizing and whitewashing this moronic, performative bullshit.

The Congresswoman can be sworn in by someone other than the Speaker of the House. There are many historical precedents for this. Get going Democrats...

Grijalva: The frustration for me is that it seems as if Speaker Johnson is not willing to swear me in because our politics are a little different, or because I’m going to be the 218th signer—he can just continue to drag this along with no end in sight.

That is not a foundation of our democracy.
