Seriously. Check out the Mother Jones piece form 2010. I wonder what changed Dana’s mind about Russia though. https://www.motherjones.com...

Somebody just explained to him that that kind of racism exists too. Along with the violent kind. So like trump he’s dragging it out like it’s a new for everyone. Also Obama? And how is he a “progressive leader”? Indeed, how was he a socialist? He votes for NRA bills, he votes for allowing frakking. He’s a PR exercise conquering reality.

I suspect he’s an OK retail politician. Which could work for a senator in a microscopic state like Vermont. And that’s why he keeps getting reelected. He talks to people, they know him. But five pages of a Molly Ivins book is more progressive than he is.

When I was in college in PA, we'd steal trays from the cafeteria & go sled riding in the wintertime.

I used to "surf" at Zuma beach. We used to take the plastic trays from the Burger King, and body surf with them, which was a blast. The real surfers laughed at us, but we had fun anyway. I want to live in California again. I miss it!

They are. They are housing Latinx children.

Beto's chances always were slim. But don't kid yourself. He helped pull off Down Ballot miracles. Voting was the highest ever for a mid-term, and new voters were also a record.

Texas used to have Blue cities and Red everywhere else. The Suburbs are starting to turn Blue as well.

Sen Cornyn is up for re-election in 2020. He will have to run with Trump. He will also have served 3 terms and be near 70. He may wish to avoid the aggravation.

Here in California 45th, Katie Porter is now only 2% behind Republican Mimi Walters with about 50K ballots to be counted. These ballots skew way Democratic so there will probably be one more scalp to add to the pile.

Conway had been promished the Inspector General position. He is still pissed. Mitch McConnell's wife got a no-show job. Why didn't he?

I cannot possibly be the only person who keeps misreading her name as “Lady MacBeth,” can I?
