A violent attempt to overthrow the government and murder our elected leaders is not a day at the beach, and deserves much stronger treatment than what we’ve seen so far. Where’s the deterrent?
One thing is clear about Biden's Afghanistan policy
He’s shut down the taxpayer-funded, grifter’s cash spigot. Whatever your thoughts on Afghanistan, it’s been quite a cash cow for military contractors.
Mark Zuckerberg and Cheryl Sandberg are public enemies with blood in their hands
Their refusal to pull disinformation from Facebook is literally killing people around the world, men, women and children. Is there ever accountability for ultra-wealthy and connected Americans?
If Democrats were able to pass the For the People Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act
Would this conservative Supreme Court just overturn them? Because you know, litigious Republicans would file multiple suits the day they were passed.
Dark money is killing us
It’s killing our planet. It’s killing our democracy. It’s death by a thousand cuts. Sheldon Whitehouse appeared on Joy Reid’s show last evening and his his usual straightforward manner, clearly explained how dark money is a direct threat to us all. A clip of his segment is below:

By prematurely terminating extended UI benefits, Republicans are actively sabotaging the economy
Do Republicans hate America?
Until there are swift and severe consequences for police officers who randomly execute Americans
And it’s usually Americans of color, this problem will only continue to get worse. What is wrong with officers who whip out their guns over every little thing? They are temperamentally unfit for their jobs.
There's boorish behavior and then there's criminal behavior
There’s more than enough deadly criminal behavior to focus on.
I am thoroughly enjoying Brian Williams' snark on his 11th Hour show
Last night he mentioned Ron Johnson's comments about it not being an armed insurrection were "translated from Russian" and Mitch McConnell's WSJ opinion piece was "written by gaslight." In these dark times, we need all the levity we can find!
As powerful as witnesses would have been at the impeachment trial,
Testifying would have put a target on their backs that deranged Trumpers would be only too happy take shots at. House Democrats made the right call and gave us a powerful presentation without witnesses, and without risking further loss of life.
