Shameless Democratologist. Just working to keep us on the rails. No filters. Some tact .. maybe. FELON Trump is a traitor to the U.S. & leader of the new White Supremacist party - MAGA. Know how your Congress voted! Believe their actions, not their lies!

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

A sluggish Congress punts a long list of tasks until after the election
The 119th Congress is coming to an end after passing fewer bills into law than any two-year session in more than half a century. It has left a lengthy agenda for the lame-duck session.

I note that Pete Hegseth elides over when the United States went to war with white supremacists (the Civil War) and fascists (World War II). Probably has nothing to do with Pete Hegseth being both a white supremacist and a fascist, right?
