Joe Crowley

Last week, we looked at a video message from Abigail Disney from the Patriotic Millionaires, talking about-- though not by name-- some extremely bad Democrats in New York: Governor Cuomo and Senate Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, of course + The Long Island 6: legislators Todd Kaminsky, Monica Martinez, Kevin Thomas, James Gaughran, John Brooks and Anna Kaplan. Like the clip above, it's part of their campaign to pass a small tax on the super rich-- just people whose annual income is over $5 million.

Primaries are a way to replace passive liberals with progressive boat-rockers, writes Norman Solomon.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was ruffling the feathers of fellow congressional Democrats.…Read more →

I don't have any firsthand knowledge of Ayanna Pressley. Everything I've heard about her has been excellent. But I do know Mike Capuano-- and he's nothing like Joe Crowley. I'm certain there was no one in the country working harder and more consistently than I was to displace Crowly over the last decade-- although it took a grassroots wonderwoman and her team to eventually do it.

Conservatives want members of Congress to look like the mug on the right, never like the young woman on the leftConnecticut Democratic primary voters basically kicked Joe Lieberman out of the party by denying him the 2006 Democratic nomination for the Senate seat he had held since 1994. He ran on the Connecticut for Lieberman Party that year.

(CD) — Taking a quick break from his lucrative work as a lobbyist for the law firm that has represented President Donald Trump for years, former Democratic Sen. Joe Lieberman (Conn.) emerged from the realm of complete political irrelevance on Tuesday to urge defeated New York Rep. Joe Crowley to disregard the will of voters and mount a third-party bid against democratic socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. […]

US President Donald Trump says he is “winning”, but what he is actually doing is disrupting the entire US political structure, and causing mass hysteria among the powerful liberal left media and wealthy socialite strata.
From a Russia collusion hoax to a fake TIME magazine cover, and now a Supreme Court justice seat suddenly vacant, Democrats are in full panic mode. Open-borders globalists are calling for a revolution, and Auntie Maxine is pressing her legion of zombies to confront MAGA hat wearers and “push back” against them anywhere they may be.

NY-14 voters knew exactly what they were voting forOn Wednesday mornings after elections, I like giving a recap of the important things that happened, at least important to progressives. I was all set to start with the way Jason Crow and he's sleazeball allies-- we're looking at you, Steny-- stole the CO-06 election from Levi Tillemann. We'll get to that soon.

Albright: "Younger women, Hillary Clinton will always be there for you" ... plus that other thing she said.by Gaius Publius How cynical is the Democratic Party's support for identity politics? To this observer, it seems impossible not to notice that those in control of the Democratic Party care about "identity politics" — about supporting more women, more people of color, more LGBTQ candidates, etc. — only when it suits them.

Today, the furthermost corner of NY-11 is at Avenue P and East 15th Street. When I was a pre-teen, my family had a house on 17th right off Avenue P. One of my friends, Anne, lived with her family on East 14th Street between Avenue P and Kings Highway. We both went to PS 197. Back then we were also in the same congressional district-- Manny Celler's.
