Heavens to betsy, how can this be?

Frequent, reliable mass transit gets cars off the road. Air pollution plummets.

Gosh! Who'da thunk it?

Personally, I doubt there's any smoking gun about Trump in the #Epsteinfiles. Anything truly egregious was "accidentally lost" in the last nine months.

A discharge petition to force a House vote on a bill to protect federal workers' collective bargaining rights got its 218th signature this afternoon.

The bill would nullify Trump's executive orders stripping collective bargaining rights from federal workers.

Yes, and no. Republicans in the House were adamant against impeachment.

The "smoking gun" tape made it clear that Nixon faced a felong indictment, and would be convicted in a court of law.

Only then did SOME Republicans vote for impeachment.

Trump backtracks. AGAIN.

First, he admits that his #Trumptariffs raised prices, after denying that for nine months.

His beef tariffs would have given U.S. ranchers a four- to five-year window of super-high prices. Now, cheap imports will negate that.
