Neguse: Only in Washington, D.C. could politicians come to the floor and brag about cutting $9 billion from rural radio stations while two weeks ago they voted to increase the deficit by $4 trillion. Spare us these lectures.

If the Democrats up and down the ballot don't run on economic populism and making government work for the working class, they are completely out of it. There is a complete convergence of the morally right message and the best political strategy.

I swear I am not making this up. Tonight Trump will go to the Kennedy Center to see “Les Miserables,” a play about a mass uprising against a tyrannical king. I hereby retire from satire.

Why are all of this administrations leaders constantly standing in the limelight as frequently as possible? My hypothesis: messaging is more important than competence to maintain power.
DNI Tulsi Gabbard repeats Putin’s talking points today, releasing an unhinged video where she claims that “political elites” want a nuclear war with Russia because they have sophisticated bomb shelters that will help them survive it.

Just a reminder that the Los Angeles Dodgers, led by Clayton Kershaw, voluntarily attended the White House and will likely say nothing about what the administration is doing in the city.

Honestly pretty funny that Republicans spent four years warning that the Democratic president was a senile, checked-out vegetable who’d handed control of the government over to unelected extremists

seeing a lot of too-cool-for-it takes pointing out that the US has backed awful dictators before. it's certainly true that this country has blood on its hands, but this is another example of pundits treating trump like a literary foil instead of an actual president who is doing bad things.

Social Security has a payment accuracy rate of over 99 percent. Only 0.3 percent of Social Security benefits are improper payments, which are typically caused by mistakes or delays.
