Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

It's becoming increasingly apparent that mega billionaires should be treated like small nation states, and if they antagonize other countries economic sanctions need to be levied against them.

I must have been living under a rock because can someone tell me why the US debt tracker was coverted into an Anti-Fed religious schizo advertisement??

People in some states are already getting notices about their health insurance prices doubling or tripling. Arizonans will see their increases when they sign up next month. This is simply unaffordable, and the American people are counting on us to do something about it.

Dude Democratic messaging is so bad. They have layup after layup but for some reason they refuse to do a coordinated media blitz.

Lindsey Halligan, the newly-installed prosecutor in EDVA, has less than a week to secure an indictment against James Comey before a key statute of limitations runs out.
Ben Wittes and I examine her charging options.
Spoiler alert: they all suck.

The biggest PR win for the Democrats would be ousting Schumer and Jeffries. Public sentiment is rapidly eroding even for diehard MAGA - hence their recent overreach.
We don't need limp, corporate leadership. The American public doesn't want that either.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.
This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.
All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

P.S. The moment it's politically advantageous, please start floating impeachment for current Supreme Court justices. Our constitution needs deep reform, having compromised justices fundamentally undermines it.
