Scanlon: I think we’ve got an embarrassment of folks who are deserving of impeachment, and the question is going to be priorities — who first?

There are certainly a number of people who should be subject to impeachment, criminal prosecution, and being banned from public office.

Congratulations to Richard Grenell for stepping down from the Kennedy Center after a year marked by a mass staff exodus, artists refusing to perform, and ticket sales so low they’re practically underground. Fascism thanks you for your service to the destruction of the arts

Search-and-rescue crews were “flying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week.

Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool.

But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.

The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam. It would take away the rights of working people to make their voices heard at the ballot box.

The Senate must reject this bill.

War has a way of exposing the difference between power and strategy. The United States has enormous power. What remains unclear right now is whether anyone running this war has a strategy.
