Jane Mayer is out with a story: The Case of Al Franken in the New Yorker. This is going to throw huge bomb in to the campaign, but it will be a dirty bomb not an explosion. The clear demonstration of the RW hit job nature of the Tweeden photo and...

I have been wondering what has become of Gillibrand as the women in the 2020 presidential election fade into the background of this presidential race. I have not heard much about her since the town hall she had on MSNBC in which I started to have a...

We live in a funny world and I like to see funny things done in the name of justice and liberty and so on and so forth.
