The Democrats should declare a state of national emergency. We certainly are in one. McConnell’s desperation to get a vote on Trumpcare and to get Gorsuch through are obviously because he realizes that the legitimacy of the Trump regime may … Continue reading →

You could not make this party up. According to Burgess Everett of Politico, some Senate Democrats have still not been able to get as much abuse from Mitch McConnell and the GOP as they need to satisfy their deepest longings. … Continue reading →
