This was their moment to craft a coherent message and remind America that Republicans believe ardently in socialism for the rich–only. Instead, they played defensive, as usual.
How in the world can we now assume they will stay strong against the GOP’s hostage-taking over the debt ceiling?

Not every Democrat is as stupid, reactive, and collusive as Pelosi, Jeffries, et. al.
My Congressman, Rep. Nadler, voted No.

“This vote has nothing to do with socialism,” Rep. Frost of Florida said, “and everything to do with gutting the programs that millions of Americans have paid into, and have earned,”
all of which, including public education, are stigmatized by the GOP as ‘socialist.'”

Frost is a rising star who is also taking on De Santis’s fascism.

Apparently, the Republicans don’t believe in paying their bills.

Blog came down with some technical difficulties.

to lift all caps on residential development in New York.

As if the behemoths of 57th Street weren’t already tall enough– and they’re built under the existing height restrictions.

And they’re plying the same fraudulent, condescending scam about “affordable” housing being a justifiction, despite the fact that, as Village Preservation informs us:

“The truth is,the proposal to lift the cap wouldn’t result in or require the creation of a single unit of affordable housing.”

Thanks to John Kerry and other odious, feckless sell-outs, the Summit has become a travesty.

DeSantis weaponizes the people of Florida against their own physical survival via his ruthless attacks on COVID mitigation, but that won’t stop his absurd pretense of populism.

We just came close to losing much of Europe when Ukraine’s nuclear plants were attacked by Russian forces. Yet the always-feckless Kerry has turned his post as special climate envoy into a shill for the utility companies. They want the government to rescue their investment in regressive, expensive, inefficient and hideously dangerous nuclear power plants.

Nuclear power could end humanity even faster than global warming.

Now the Department of Energy is saying it wants to convert ancient col plants into new nuclear plants.

WHAT? And where is the media on this?

Beyond Nuclear calls it out:

“Energy leadership in this country is either blind and deaf to the reality of the climate emergency, or completely captured by the powerful energy lobbies of yesterday. Mired in outdated thinking, they cling to failed and foolish energy plans that have long been supplanted by demonstrably better, faster, cheaper, safer and more workable options, ergo renewable energy, energy efficiency and conservation.”

The White House is all in with Kerry’s piracy, as Kamala Harris glibly cheerleads the sale of three new nuclear plants to Poland.

To add insult to injury, Kerry is now embracing an oil executive to preside over the next U.N. “Climate Summit”–aka trade fair for nuclear and other deadly technologies.

They are appalled by his attempted takeover of Israeli democracy.

It’s time to defeat decisively the insidious equation that any criticism of far-right Israeli politics is motivated by anti-Semitism.

Of course Trump supported Netanyahu. Both are totalitarians. We’ve seen again and again how Trump truckles to autocratic personalities.

But that doesn’t make Trump any less of an anti-Semitic neo-Nazi.

Mehdi Hassan just reminded us of McCarthy’s since-deleted tweet attacking Jewish bankers.

The way they so calamitously refused to do after George W. Bush stole the 2000 election.
Deep-sixed committee members need to form shadow committees that will call out every corrupt machination that the GOP-led committees attempt.
