Democratic Party Did Not Capitulate; Dems Positioned to Win Big in 2026 Pundits, talking heads, podcasters, even cartoonists are almost in unison excoriating Democrats for β€œcapitulating” to the Republicans by ending the government shutdown. These fulminations are understa...

Should I record an audiobook? Help me decide if recording my book Willful Ignorance and Stupid Political Decisions is something that I should do. Please listen to the preface that I recorded and let me know what you think.

What's happening in Chicago is not normal.

The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

He's telling us what he's doing. Using the military to suppress protest. At some point the opposition needs to listen to him and adjust strategy.

I feel like people think that it's not that bad yet. That it is happening to some other city, some other group of people. The problem is that once it gets bad enough for people to be shaken out of their apathy, it is so much harder to stand up.

Canceled wind project puts thousands of jobs at risk | CNN Business The future of thousands of jobs are in jeopardy after Ørsted, a Danish clean energy company with a large portfolio of offshore wind projects, received an order from the Bureau of Ocean Energy Manageme...

Trump just halted a nearly completed wind project that was set to power 350K homes at a stable rate for 20 years.

Over 1,000 jobsβ€”gone.

Electric billsβ€”up.

All to protect Big Oil.

This isn’t "national security." It’s political sabotage.

They'd rather destroy our future than build a better one.

The President sees a bad jobs report, and responds by getting rid of the person in charge of the statistics. This is how America becomes a third-rate country.

Think about what the GOP is revealing with their attempt to suddenly change the Congressional maps: they know their agenda is so unpopular that they're going to lose unless something changes.

Of course, what they should be changing is their policies, not the maps.

Our power doesn't come from having more guns but from having more people and being one the correct side. Massive protests will make a big difference.
