This kind of history helps put today's events in context. In January 1954 50% of Americans supported McCarthyism. Wow.

Fetterman is beyond "disappointing." He is a traitor to everyone who voted for him, and to all Pennsylvanians.
So damaged from his stroke, he may be unfit to serve.

Democratic Party hits lowest approval in over 30 years: Poll The only policy areas where Democrats outperform Republicans in the new poll from the Wall Street Journal are health care and vaccine policy.

The Democratic Party is historically unpopular with its own voters.

Caving to Trump and getting nothing in return will only bring these numbers down further.

Itโ€™s a historic failureโ€”and an opportunity to push for changes to the electoral system.

"Surely there is a better way of enforcing their policies in a way that does not separate families or place tender aged children like this child in questionable circumstances. I think that itโ€™s absolutely traumatizing for a child to be placed in that situation.โ€

So let's tax the ultra rich and free up some funds. Overturning Citizens United wouldn't hurt either.

Bucks County voters set record turnout for municipal election; Dems sweep county races Almost half of Bucks County voters showed up on Election Day on Tuesday, adding to a blue sweep across the country.

If it's true that all politics are local, this bodes well for the future.

So... Gen. Washington didn't help write the Constitution. He was an army guy not a politician. Also Franklin was not part of it either. Apparently we are still that stupid.

Who else thinks Trump will die in office? He is so obviously sick on many levels. Maybe it's just wishful thinking.
