Is any even remotely populist policy endorsed by any of the degenerate criminals endorsed by Steve Bannon?

Is any even remotely populist policy not opposed by them?

Was that sexual harassment? Did she ask his permission first?

Sure, Al Franken should resign–once Trump does.

The idea that Trump would dare lambast Franken, demonstrates the increasing dementia that is plaguing the President.

And the hypocritical, hyper-partisan howlings of the GOP cannot be capitulated to.

Not only does Franken’s abuse incident pale before what Trump’s been getting away with–and bragging about privately–for decades, Franken isn’t lying about it. And Trump is.

Doddering, rich, white, rapacious, and a shameless liar, Sen. Hatch is one of the iconic figures in today’s GOP caucus.

He has one of those patented GOP hissy fits on the Senate floor when Sen. Brown calls him out on the GOP tax scam.

Hatch has the audacity to cite his humble beginnings as defense of the horrendous ambush on America that this tax cut represents.

Mick Mulvaney to head Consumer Protection.

Boggles the mind, but then, at this point, it no longer does.

FIT’s auditorium was full of people imploring the elected officials present: Hoylman and Manhattan Borough President Gail Brewer, to do something to restore affordable commercial rents.

We live in a city that now caters solely to the municipal, national, and international wealthy.

Scribes Jeremiah Moss and Tim Wu also had a lot to say at this forum.

Moss recommended Julian Brash’s book “Bloomberg’s New York,” which I started reading today. The book makes clear that Emperor Bloomberg’s takeover of municipal government was something of a dry run for Trump’s attempt to transform America into a dictatorship.

No, democratic governance should not be run like a business-nor like a totalitarian state.

Fox’s Fawning Freaks aren’t enough.

Siinclair Broadcasting puppet, FCC chairman Ajit Pai, relaxes ownership rules to ensure even more media consolidation, and, in particular, enable GOP affiliate Sinclair to devour our airwaves.

Sinclair will be the right-wing, hyper-capitalist answer to the urban loudspeakers that once dispersed official “news” to Soviet citizens.

who and what he is. His loyalty is only to the dominance of the Republican Party and the billionaires who fund it.

Within an hour of sexual harassment accusations against Senator Franken, McConnell is calling for an investigation.

Almost a year into Trump’s presidency, McConnell is NOT calling for an investigation into Trump’s self-admitted serial sexual harassment.

Jeff Sessions squirms under the questioning of Representative Hakeem Jeffries.
