According to some polls, it’s definitely not looking too good right now for the Democrats in the midterm elections. Republican candidates are leaning into inflation, gas prices, and crime in an attempt to undermine the electorate’s confidence.

It seems that buying your own social network is the thing to do these days. It’s enough to make me want to buy my own social network . . .

California Republican Representative Kevin McCarthy recently released his party’s “Commitment to America.” The more fuzzy and abstract the document, the more crazies and slightly-less-crazy Republicans can find common ground.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has achieved a new low by using people seeking asylum as a political prop. This cruelty is taking place to “own the libs” and make those lefties realize what life is like for MAGA states along the southern border.

In the unpredictable era of Trumpist politics, this seems like a huge gamble - and even if this strategy does work, it still doesn’t pass the smell test.

A nation that can’t even provide safe drinking water for its people can’t fly the banner of “exceptionalism” for too long.

Signing legislation makes for much more boring news coverage than FBI raids - even though President Biden and the Democrats have managed to pass some seriously major legislation.

In another sign of how extreme the Republican Party has become, leaders in the party recently came out against injured veterans and U.S. manufacturing. They’re willing to help burn up the whole planet.
