I love all of the bad news accumulating for trump, but at the same time President Biden is kicking ass in campaign events and social media posts. In that spirit, check out this speech. It is fiery with powerful, direct attacks on trump’s character and...

Obergefell v. Hodges. I want you to keep that in mind. Kevin McCarthy’s first-in-the-Union’s fall from Speakership grace isn’t just a sign of the chaos in the GOP. It’s a harbinger of the moral and ideological decay of a major party. As Paul Kane...

Digby has picked up on a must-read piece by former GOP strategist Rick Wilson. He explains why Republicans win and Democrats lose, and what he has to say is well worth a read. (Sorry, Digby doesn’t have a link to Wilson’s post, but quotes from it.) How...

This actually happened to me last week at a potluck lunch for knitters and quilters in my city. The lady next to me said, “And now we have to worry about the A1!” I asked, “The steak sauce? Is it woke or something?” She said, “Kate, the A1! You of all...

Here’s some belated news from last week: Dems in Alaska had an excellent election, retaining a supermajority on the Anchorage city council. Six out of seven open positions were won by Democratic candidates, with only an outlying suburb voting...

On Monday, I wrote a story with 5 reasons why Democrats would win last night, despite all the polling and pundits calling the race for Republicans long before the first vote was counted. I get it, too. Conventional wisdom says that the president’s...

The Democrats are going to win big tomorrow, and here are five reasons why based on facts: 1. The polls are worthless. They have been increasingly wrong for the past three election cycles. Remember when 538 said, on election day 2016, that Hillary had...

The video of winning Michigan coach Juwan Howard consoling Tennessee freshman Kennedy Chandler after a hard fought game that Tennessee lost moved me deeply. It was as powerful and poignant a scene as we’ll ever see. And not just in this edition of the...

Daily Kos Elections said we’ve got work to do with suburbs. I have to believe that they (suburbans) don’t understand the mandates. I will be honest. I absolutely DO NOT understand how any responsible person in the country could vote for a republican...

Republicans may not create every problem in the world but they are the biggest obstacle to solving the most dangerous problems we face: our forests are on fire, our cities are flooding, extreme wealth inequality, epidemic gun violence, epidemic medical...

My last diary sparked a bit of hope for me. I proposed the tall order of getting thousands of people to move to Alaska to save the world. You know, basic stuff. Most of that diary was about the WHY of the matter. The comments were hopeful, if...

We know more or less what the Republican strategy is going to be for the 2022 midterms: they’re going to campaign against woke extremism, defunding the police, the “stolen” 2020 election, and — no doubt — some other crazy stuff that is too weird for me...

We just won a major election, in a landslide. With each passing day they count more votes, and Biden’s vote count is almost at 80 million. We turned two red states into blue states on the presidential level. We are going to have one of the most diverse...

America is moving on. Trump may have placed himself in Limbo, but the rest of us are more than happy to look ahead. And Biden is proceeding perfectly well (for now) with his transition. Trump, after all, is not the only one who can establish new...

In my opinion this electoral defeat is going to demoralize a huge chunk of the Trump base going forward. They couldn’t have possibly been more fired up to own the Libs! Their exalted heroes have a firm grasp on the reins of power...
