Ya don’t say….

Maybe telling Black people to stay the fuck out your stores was a bad idea?

And maybe doing everything under the sun EXCEPT fixing that part isn’t going to work!

Adelita Grijalva now holds the record for longest delay between winng a special Congressional election and being sworn into office.

Why the delay from Mike Johnson?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

NLRB Poised for a Partisan Shift: With the Senate HELP Committee advancing two of President Trump’s nominees, the NLRB may soon regain a quorum and shift to its first Republican-led majority since 2021 — potentially signaling changes to existing federal labor law.

The lack of total outrage at the indictment of Congresswoman McIvey is truly frightening.

Hakeem Jeffries ought to be causing high holy hell over this.

She is indicted because she is Black.

Half of the GOP caucus engaged in sedition and Garland felt arresting a member of congress went too far.

BREAKING: The scene at the Rayburn Building is pure rebellion. Protesters are swarming in during live hearings on Medicaid cuts.

Security’s losing control. Because when the government wages war on the poor, the poor fight back.

I cannot recommend John Ganz’s book enough. If you want see the roots of what is happening now, read this book. I was an intern at the DSCC when David Duke first ran and the reaction of people saying “oh, it’s Louisiana” was spot on. Go get it!
