The Other Wingnut Who Wants Warren
Hey, you can’t blame ‘em for trying. The right-wing hatred for Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) increases on an exponential basis, and like longtime Mitt Romney pal John Kingston, that hatred has motivated another far-right Republican to make an effort to unseat her: Republican state Representative Geoff Diehl on Wednesday took a stride toward challenging Democratic […]

Dark Rhode: The Effort to Silence Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse
It’s obvious why they want him gone. If you watched last week’s Senate confirmation hearings for unqualified Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch, you saw just how effective Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) can be when it comes to challenging right-wing ideology.

Sadly, it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter how how many times he failed to tell the whole truth during his Senate confirmation hearing. It doesn’t matter how many times he spoke to the Russians. It doesn’t matter how unqualified he is to be the chief law enforcement officer of the United States. Jefferson Beauregard Sessions […]

The Price is Wrong: The Importance of Engaging in Every Election
Like MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, I could not fathom why the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee initially appeared to be conceding the April 18 special election to fill the House seat left vacant by the confirmation of former Rep. Tom Price (R-GA) as Secretary of Health and Human Services. (Maddow’s strong criticism has apparently motivated the DCCC […]
