The Republican Wing Of The Democratic Party-- Meet Jim Himes Of Connecticut
At a meeting of Democratic thought leaders earlier in the week, Elizabeth Warren posed a rhetorical question "Do you get the feeling that if Bernie Madoff weren’t in prison he’d be in charge of the SEC right now?" I wonder if New Dem chairman and former Goldman-Sachs banker Jim Himes was in the room, though I doubt it, since he spends so much of his spare time shuffling from fundraiser to fundraiser.
The United Airlines Fiasco Pre-Dates Oscar Munoz-- By Decades
Good for U.S. District Judge Kristine Baker putting the kibosh on Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson's plan for a week of mass executions. I'd rather see United Airlines executed instead. So would everyone else. The company's stocked plummeted 2.5% last week and the damage to the brand is probably far greater than that.
Real Question On Betting Form-- Odds Offered: What Will Trump Be Impeached For?
The circus has come to townDo you find it at all hard to figure out which outrageous Trump endeavor is supposed to get everyone's focus off some other, earlier Trump hour show? You know what I mean? Was the TrumpCare debacle supposed to get out minds off Putin-Gate? Or is Putin-Gate supposed to get us to stop paying attention to the establishment of a kakistocracy?

Friday, David Sirota contrasted the lies Trump told on the campaign trail about bringing down the price of pharmaceuticals with his actions since moving into the Oval Office.
Is Trumpy-The-Clown Going To Drain The Wall Street Swamp? You're Joking, Right?
Perhaps you were angry that Obama's Justice Department never went after Wall Street elites. I sure was. Last year David Sirota did a powerful piece for International Business Times about how prosecution for white collar crimes was at a 20-year low-- although not because there was less of that kind of crime.
How Horrible Will Hillary Be As President (Aside From Not As Horrible As Señor Trumpanzee)?
Towards the end of January, Elizabeth Warren penned an OpEd for the NY Times dealing with why corporate criminals routinely escape meaningful prosecution for their misconduct, coming to the conclusion that "weak enforcement by federal agencies is about the people at the top."
Martin Shkreli Isn't The Only Greedy Little Monster Driving Up The Price Of Medicine
More great investigative reporting from David Sirota at the International Business Times, this time on how proposed healthcare insurance mergers between Anthem-Cigna and Aetna-Humana will harm the public by reducing competition and raising costs for consumers.
Not Feeling the Bern
By Margaret Kimberley | Black Agenda Report | April 20, 2016 “Only Bernie Sanders can break the power of capitalism in the U.S.” So read a bizarre headline in an online edition of the Guardian. It is just one example of the drivel, magical thinking, misplaced concerns and out and out lies produced by liberal […]
Is Bill Clinton's Presence On The Campaign Trail Helping Hillary-- Or Hurting Her?
A day or two ago, Bill Clinton insinuated-- in his snide way-- that Bernie supporters might go on a rampage and shoot every third person on Wall Street, hitting a lot of Clinton attack themes they're always inserting into the zeitgeist about Bernie and his supporters. His wife can't win the presidency-- if the Democrats are stupid enough to nominate her-- without those millions of Bernie supporters...
