FYI: Blanche rescinded the ORDER establishing the slush fund, not the underlying “settlement.” The settlement says any changes must be agreed to by ALL parties, not just Todd. This “rescission” isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.

I have a question for those who study the media: Does anyone in corporate owned media wonder if their declining audience and trust is the product of events like we saw last night? Because, as someone who started an independent media outlet, it is definitely part of our growth.

Can't wait for the morning I wake up, have my coffee, and he's nowhere in the news. Just an orange stain in the history books. And the stuff that actually matters to people gets to be the headline again.

The next Dem presidential candidate should propose a sliding scale for corporate tax rates tied directly to the percentage of their employees who receive SNAP or other public benefits The Walmarts and McDonalds' of the world have sucked us dry for far too long now by not paying people a living wage

Andy Beshear should say he spoke to Mitch for 20 minutes and Mitch told him to appoint someone else. Prove him wrong, Mitch. Prove him wrong.

We all know this is true. The SC knew it too, which is why they gave him immunity. But if the immunity was supposed to just be for official acts, why are they using it to cover everything, including insurrection and treason?

California's economy just posted its best quarterly growth showing since 2013. With the nation's largest GDP, the Golden State is keeping America's economy afloat despite Trump's failed economic policies.

California's economy is growing 2.3x faster than Florida's and 4x faster than Texas'.

If Andy Beshear does not push this to a conclusion that either has him appointing McConnell's replacement, or McConnell reappearing, Beshear will be out of Democratic politics. We need rabble-rousers, not the same quiet, proper Dems who keep losing.
