Current headline at yahoo.com: “’Senator could determine fate of Biden’s agenda” Insultingly obvious for a wonk in the know, but maybe targeted for ignorant readers. It is the lede that hurts: “Democratic Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Utah could be the 50th...

The best part about being a “job creator,” as the Republican Party likes to call big business, is that you get massive tax breaks handed to you, despite the din of protests by the majority of Americans. The other best part? Republicans don’t seem to...
