Alan Grayson

I lived in Holland for four years and it was a pretty progressive place, Amsterdam more than the country as a whole, but even the most conservative areas seemed more progressive than the U.S. When I was there, the political party that headed the government was the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy-- better known as the VVD. It's a classic center-right party and pretty much stands for everything the American Democratic Party stands for, not the FDR Democratic Party, but the floating garbage heap Bill Clinton turned the Democratic Party into...

I Can't Breathe by Nancy OhanianEvery time Trump starts flapping his gums about the imagined evils of vote-by-mail-- which makes one wonder if he hasn't been counting on massively rigging the electronic voting systems-- Republican Party officials shudder-- and Democrats jump for joy. Let's take Florida as an example.

I've only been to the Bahamas once; I didn't like it. The trip was to visit the legendary, now shuttered, Compass Point Studios in Nassau, where one of our bands, the Ocean Blue, was recording Beneath the Rhythm and Sound late in the summer of 1993. It was a difficult time for the band, who came from a very conservative religious fundamentalist background and had been coming to grips with the fact that one of its key members had decided to eschew the closet and embrace his homosexuality.

They were ready to roll the tanks if she got too friskyEvery Member of Congress loves-- or, until this month, used to love-- photo ops of them "delivering" goodies to their local police departments. They never consider that those goodies might one day be used against their own constituents. In August, 2014, garden variety policy brutality and murder brought on the "Ferguson unrest." Two months earlier, Alan Grayson introduced H.R.

Last night we noted that the Dems have a plan for another bailout. Former Congressman Alan Grayson, who likes Pelosi, waded through hundreds of pages and called me and said-- word for word: "This is a horrendous strategic mistake.

Did any normal person ever think Brian Kemp was fit for public office?A few days ago, I noted that Bill Scher made a few mistakes in his list of the most effective and least effective governors in the response to the pandemic.

Trump's coke-fiend chief economic advisor, Larry Kudlow-- too stoned and irrational for Fox News, but just fine for the White House-- told the congressional Republicans early yesterday morning, just days after he lied to them and said the whole COVID-19 was "locked down," that Trump was finally about to sign the disaster order he should have signed in January.

Not every state holding presidential primaries Tuesday is also holding congressional primaries. But the two biggies-- California and Texas-- are. Both these states are polling strongly for Bernie. The CNN poll for California that was released Friday shows Bernie in the top slot with 35% (up 15 points since December) and Elizabeth Warren in second with 14%.

That depends on what you mean by "Democrats"That there is a Stop Bernie movement among the Democratic Party leaders instead of a Stop Republican Oligarch Michael Bloomberg Movement tells you all you will ever need to know about the Democratic Establishment. As a cohort, they are less than worthless. Joe Biden was their anointed Jeb Bush for the 2020 election cycle.

Any-- every-- sack of dog poop Trump sends over to Moscow Mitch as a judicial nominee has been rammed through the Senate and confirmed, sometimes with votes from the 2 or 3 Trump-friendly Democrats, Joe Manchin (WV), Doug Jones (AL) and Kyrsten Sinema (AZ). When even these three vote NO, you know the sack of dog poop Moscow Mitch is hawking includes a lot of dog diarrhea.
