It's understandable that Democrats are fuming about Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency ferreting out waste, fraud and abuse, inasmuch as the people committing the waste, fraud and abuse are their constituents. What I can't understand is why they're saying so out loud. The Democrats ...
The Democrats' most influential pollster, David Shor, has been in the news lately with his report on how Kamala Harris botched the 2024 election. Lots of interesting stuff, but one particular item in Shor's analysis requires refutation for encouraging Republicans' worst, stupidest, most ...
In case you've missed the 1 million New York Times headlines announcing a "constitutional crisis," here are a few typically calm, laid-back notices from that straight-down-the-middle newspaper: Trump Dares the Courts to Stop Him With Deportations, Trump Steps Closer to Showdown With Judicial ...

I gotta admit, Joy Reid was indeed blindsided when she was fired from MSNBC this week. How could she possibly have seen this cancellation coming? Sure, by the end, she was down to 11 actual viewers nationwide, eight of them in hospital ICUs, their charts indicating coma protocol. Of her remaining ...
Desperate to protect government employees who are paid upward of $100,000 a year to surf porn all day (or do something even more disgusting, like funnel money to USAID), Democrats are beside themselves about Elon Musk. His Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) clearly violates the very letter ...
