A Democratic Senate Should Adopt Secret Impeachment Ballots on a Priority Basis
Such a change, requiring no constitutional amendment, would free senators to vote their judgment instead of their fears

Trump keeps stealing money from the government to bolster his political prospects. It should be seen as a crime spree not legitimate actions of an American government.

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed... "How will you pay for it?" The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts... "How much do you need?" It doesn't have to be this way.

Above, it says "The boss needs you, you don't need them!" and below it says "Labor is entitled to all it creates."A gold Starfleet delta insignia with the three arrows symbol in black enamel in the center, and a high gloss surface.An embroidered patch featuring Audrey II from Little Shop of Horrors growing in a can that says "compost the rich."

Over a year later, and I'll keep saying it - John Arthur Wilson MUST resign. He had already lost the faith of his constituents, but the evidence continues to grow. I don't care that he'll be replaced in January - he shouldn't be in office for one second longer. publicola.com/2026/09/02/k...

How people think about speed limits is so funny. They want there to be a law and think that's important, but it's also important that the law only be enforced infrequently, randomly and unpredictably, and by humans who pull you over. They want it to be a special surprise.

That's not how executive orders work and that's not how naming things work and this isn't how political reporting should work either. This event should be covered, yes, but as another sign of the president's steady descent into complete ineffectiveness and utter insanity.

As mentioned in my comment on USPS's new ballot rule, the American postal service was born in 1774 _because_ the alternative system (the Crown's post) let the executive decide which mail not to deliver. For a Court riveted by bespoke historical analogs, this rule is 252 years of unAmerican.

I'm sorry but it's clearly newsworthy that the President's decisions are being unduly influenced by a mentally unstable obsessive no one voted for who has attached themselves to him in an effort to live out weird fantasies they've had for decades. Something has to be done about Stephen Miller.

In this case, “thousands of additional households” is four thousand, from 21k to 25k, because DOR assumes more people will become millionaires between now and then. Both figures represent fewer than 1% of households in Washington. 99% will pay no tax.
