All those Republicans backing Biden... they should close out the campaign with a song and dance routine about how much they love Austerity. After all, the whole political class can unite around that-- both parties-- minus a handful of outliers like the Squad and some of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. Biden himself is an Austerity Democrat-- always has been, always will be.

Earlier today, we looked at a New York Magazine, piece by Eric Levitz, Voters Are Turning Against Trump In Places Hit Hard By COVID-19 as an introduction to a n

Starting To Lose My Temper by Nancy OhanianWriting for New York Magazine, Eric Levitz introduced his readers to a new study by political scientists Lynn Vavreck, Christopher Warshaw and Ryan Baxter-King who examined the political consequences of COVID-19 fatalities for Trump and other Republican candidates for federal offices.

Yesterday, a piece in the Washington Post by Erica Werner and Jeff Stein-- Trump administration pushing to block new money for testing, tracing, and CDC in upcoming coronavirus relief bill-- couldn't be more damaging to Trump's reelection campaign if it were designed specifically to do just that.

War-mongers Jason Crow (D-CO) and Liz Cheney (R-WY)Last week, the House Armed Services Committee-- an aggressively devoted tool of the Military Industrial Complex regardless of which party controls Congress-- voted on an amendment by Jason Crow (New Dem-CO) and Liz Cheney (R-WY) to prevent Trump from withdrawing troops from Afghanistan. As expected, it passed, 45-11.

I was born in 1948. My grandparents used to tell me about the Great Depression. There's no one alive today who was a sentient enough being at the time to remember it first hand. And many Americans under 40 relate to it about as much as they relate to the Battle of Yorktown.

The new Marquette Law School poll of Wisconsin voters was released yesterday. They tweeted it out. Here's a narrative version of the tweets, starting with how much they find Wisconsin is feeling the Bern.

Billionaires should not existBloomberg couldn't hide behind his half billion dollars-- so far-- in TV and radio ads on Wednesday nigh, although he did run a fake Obama endorsement ad just as the debate was starting. But that didn't save him from what his get-rich-quick campaign advisors apparently failed to adequately prepare him for.

Good video, right? I had to get it up as soon as I could! Cute. But... Remember when you didn't vote for Mitt Romney in 2012? Would you vote for him now if it was between him and Trump? He voted good-- one time... and a few minutes later voted to find Trump not guilty on another charge. Still, it was kind a a half a profile in courage that day. And what about if he tagged a "D" next to his name the way Bloomberg has? I know there are plenty of people who would vote for him-- even gladly so-- and more so if he went the Bloomberg route.
