There’s been a spate of “effective immediately” media separations in the last 24 hours: NBCUniversal CEO Jeff Shell was the first domino to fall, then came Tucker Carlson at Fox News, and then Don Lemon at CNN. All for the same issue.
Someone in Republican leadership should be willing to stand up for an election worker who was forced to flee her own home due to violent threats from their party leader. Anyone? Anyone?
At a time when “partisan divide” is said to be what ails us (it isn’t), candidates like former C.I.A. officer Evan McMullin tell a different story.

If Abbot wasn’t a liar, he would man up, stand up, and tell women on national television that he believes they do not have the right to control their own bodies, much less their reproductive health.
If any American was curious about how far afield from reality Republicans will go to placate the MAGA crowd and reinforce their authoritarian world view, they need look no farther than Florida and Texas
It is time for the clever legal maneuvers to stop and for advocates for women’s rights to target the source of these barbaric control measures – religion as defined by the extremist and fanatical religious right.
For Republicans, freedom means they also get to impose their belief systems, their version of “law and order†on everybody else.

Trump’s words are not simply dangerous for the Capitol Police, they are further attempts to incite his followers to violence against anyone he deems is a member of the “radical left.â€
Medicare for all. That very phrase has the potential to produce several very palpable responses.

Many right-of-center Democrats–some of whom accept money from the same private health insurance industry–are still reticent to support it despite a 2018…

The Republican motivation appears to be more about inciting another insurrection than simply covering over their own complicity or protecting Trump.

Nancy Pelosi had no option but to bar the two Trump devotees from serving on the committee.
Now the GOP assault of free and fair elections is an all-out assault on democracy and a majority of Americans believe that the rash of Republican election audits are an effort to undermine the previous election’s results and sow suspicion in America’s electoral process.
The only way to stop the next Trump administration is to prosecute the last one.
One might ask: Would Republicans deliberately endanger the lives of their base to win elections? Of course, they would.
It is not solely because their monuments to white supremacy, and treason, were removed; it is because they are being exposed as white supremacists driven by white rage because people of color are demanding to be treated as equal American citizens.
What is not normal is Republican Senators begging the Democratic Administration to undo the catastrophic damage their alleged man-turned-god inflicted because Republicans abdicated their sworn duties to a fascist madman.

When Congress passed legislation making “Juneteenth†a federal holiday it was good news to say the least. However, no-one in their right mind should believe for a second that it means racial inequity and disparity is finished as a systemic plague in American society. There is a school of thought known as “critical race theory 
It is time for executing justice; not protecting corruption and treason.
Recently, former MSNBC host Chris Matthews published “This Country,†his memoir of major historical moments in America. You may have known Matthews as the host of MSNBC’s ‘Hardball’ or from his political analysis. Just over a year ago, he left the network following accusations of inappropriate flirting. Likewise, you may have seen Jeffery Toobin, a…
Anyone with a pulse knows everything McConnell works for is power and not the good of the country.
Only a dyed-in-the-wool gun fanatic or an NRA lobbyist posing as a federal judge would even think to compare a weapon created for the battlefield to a Swiss Army knife
The Department of Justice must act and instead of waiting for another attack on America.
Republicans are aiding Trump in inciting the MAGA cult to further violence according to Justice Department officials and no small number of Federal Judges.
It doesn’t matter what era America’s fallen heroes lived and died in, they would not understand why a political party and its followers are embracing fascism the Founding Fathers spent no small amount of time and energy to prevent from ever happening.
Republicans could have prevented these fascist provocateurs and potential rebels shortly after the November election but they didn’t.
Heritage is panting to destroy democracy, but their long term goal is implementing a Christian theocracy – which is why they hired evangelical fanatic Mike Pence as a pubic policy advisor.
What McCarthy and all Republicans know for a fact is that any formal congressional commission will reveal their whole-hearted, and months-long. participation in the domestic terror attack against the United States government.
The USCCB position reveals them as a massive hypocritical outfit operated by patriarchal men who do not even follow their biblical Jesus Christ’s teachings on any level.
Department of Justice prosecutors argued in filings that Trump’s fascist rebels must be kept incarcerated due to the “persistent danger inspired by Trump.â€

How long will it be before some Republican state legislature passes legislation “granting civil immunity†to any white supremacist who shoots and kills protestors holding a sign they disagree with?

America desperately needs major police reform, but it has to start with excising the racists and anti-government extremists with extreme prejudice and the racist politicians supporting them.

Political observers knew this was coming sooner rather than later.  The so-called “America First Caucus†is pure Trump and its goal can be summed up in four words: “Make America White Again.â€
Unlike every Republican in Congress and across the nation, at least Mr. Boehner is telling the truth about Trump being a monumental liar
Religious liberty, the freedom to worship as one sees fit without government interference, is all well and good, but now religious liberty means being exempt from most laws and regulations just by claiming religion.
They were fine with MLB’s exemption until that particular big business failed to toe the fascist line and support Georgia’s 2021 iteration of Jim Crow.

Corporations may be greedy, but they are not stupid, and they are not going to be bullied by the likes of McConnell.

Here is to all of you out there who have somehow held on during the reign of terror, who feel broken, who swallowed shards of rage and will never see your country the same way again.

If passed and enacted, H.R.1 would allow Congress to create a commission to determine a “code of conduct” for justices on the Supreme Court.
The concept of voter equality is anathema to Republicans who would not control large areas of the country without voter suppression in all its variations.
Republicans in Congress have no regard for the American people, but they seem to harbor a particular hatred for their own constituents on par with their loving devotion to the ultra-wealthy and corporations.
Trump’s refusal to encourage his acolytes being vaccinated and secretly being vaccinated so his adherents don’t see him as the hypocrite he is, it is safe to say he is still aiding Vladimir Putin’s crusade to decimate America without firing a shot.
