Way long time liberal Democrat. Retired IT professional. Big time fan of Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O’Donnell. Still love Seinfeld, which I say is a show about everything.

One way to quantify the GOP's attack on free and fair elections:
My law firm is litigating 78 voting and election cases in 39 states. This is, by far, the largest caseload we have carried in a non-election year and close to our peak in 2024. The question is how many more can a small firm handle.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Millions of Americans remain at jobs they hate for one reason: the health insurance they receive. That’s absurd.
Universal health care will give Americans the freedom to choose the work they want without worrying about health care coverage.
Another reason for Medicare for All.

It amazes me that there are still people out there who think we can stop political criminals by being nice and meeting them halfway. As if we should let them take half of their bribes and erase half of our history. As if we should let them blow up half as many boats and murder half as many people.

I don't think most Americans have any idea how dangerous it is for a president to declare an entire ethnic group to be "garbage." This is how the worst atrocities in human history have begun.

America's richest 10% now hold 60% of the nation's wealth.
The bottom half of America? It holds just 6%.
Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.

What if Donald Trump's presidency was more than just political controversy—what if he was the Kremlin's greatest achievement? From praising Putin and undermining NATO to dismissing American intelligence, Trump's actions seem to align with Russian interests.
