“Here we go again: crybaby Republicans, who control all the branches of the federal government, can’t even keep it open and functioning. Instead, they limp along from one short-term budget resolution to another. This is no way to lead or operate anything, let along the greatest nation on earth. W…”

“Agit Pai is a perfect example of corporate power over our system of government and the American people. Indeed, we live in a corporatist state, where powerful corporations and their donations (i.e., bribes) succeed in getting their lackeys into positions of authority and influence, so that they wil…”

“Regarding the ACA, the GOP’s leadership is insanely stubborn and cruel to millions of Americans who need health insurance— the very thing the party promised for over seven years that it would provide with wonderful superiority over the ACA.
