With the help of Sen. John McCain, who returned with his fresh surgical scars, Sen. Mitch McConnell and Sen. John Cornyn twisted enough arms to start debate on the Republican bill to kill a critical part of the social safety net. They’re voting to debate a bill that they haven’t seen. You can’t really pretend that you’re putting country above party when you’re taking it […]
I accidentally tuned into President Donald Trump’s speech today on the Healthcare bill. Mike Price and Mike Pence each gave introductions, then Trump came in to bluster about healthcare he completely (and, apparently, deliberately) misunderstands. It’s all Obama’s and Hillary’s fault, of course. Obamacare is failing so terribly that anything — literally anything , even being smacked around with a 2×4 — must be better […]
Imagine my surprise when I read Sen. Chuck Schumer’s (D-NY) Op-Ed in the New York Times that included stuff like this: Democrats have too often hesitated from taking on those misguided policies directly and unflinchingly — so much so that many Americans don’t know what we stand for. Not after today. Democrats will show the country that we’re the party on the side of working […]
I understand that Trump was acting strategically when he agreed to the recent New York Times interview. I get that. Trump was starting his newest task: trashing Jeff Sessions so that Trump could fire him and replace him with someone compliant, who will then fire special council Robert Mueller, so Trump and his kids don’t go to jail for their various crimes. He has stuff […]
Ethical questions can be complicated, thorny things. But here’s an issue that’s really easy to spot. If you give a group of people the ability to take other people’s treasure whenever they find it — cash, houses, cars, boats — and keep it all, without having to do much to justify it, then they will. We’re talking money and cars and homes, and in the […]
I’m watching news stories from that interview, and their first takeaway is that Jeff Session has to resign, because Trump said bad things about him. Trump talked about suborning perjury, obstructing justice, and making the entire DOJ — including the FBI — his personal instrument of power. He listed out his clear intentions to subvert the government based entirely on personal loyalty to Trump. […]
This is an utterly amazing piece of reporting from the New York Times. They got an interview with President Donald Trump, who spoke openly. The main article is Citing Recusal, Trump Says He Wouldn’t Have Hired Sessions, and they’ve issued partial transcripts in Excerpts From The Times Interview With Trump. It’s astounding, and important, and simply amazing reporting. And it’s deeply, deeply frightening. Go to […]
Thursday, during testimony at the space subcommittee of the House Science Committee, questioning took a… funny turn. When it was Rep. Dana Rohrabacher’s (R-Ca) turn to ask the NASA officials question, Rep. Rohrabacher said several things in a disjointed way, but then he segued to what he described as “the most important thing.” “You have indicated that Mars was totally different thousands of years ago. Is […]
