BREAKING: U.S. hospitals are warning that they are so strapped for cash that without some financial relief, they will be unable to meet their payrolls in a matter of weeks and some could be forced to close just as coronavirus cases are surging.

Weird how no one’s running stories on all the money not spent occupying Afghanistan. At $300 million a day that’s $2.1 billion so far.

A CNN commentator just noted that if Bernie wins with 35% of the vote, that still means 65% picked someone else. Truly brilliant inspired thinking from the most trusted name in news.

The Supreme Court should not be this important and it is only this important because Congress doesn’t legislate. Lifetime appointed judges generally have too much power and Congress should take back institutional power from them.

Hey Republicans this whole process is passive aggressive and annoying. Just say you are jamming through a Supreme Court nominee to promote corporate power and end abortion. Stop acting like this is about making the norm fairy happier.

The single worst political mistake in Mitch McConnell’s tenure as leader was blocking the $2000 checks that Trump wanted. McConnell lost not only the policy battle, but the Senate.

Thanks to Georgia voters, the United States Senate just passed the most generous economic relief package for working and middle class families in American history.

So the theory that Trump won these kinds of districts due to racism and then there's a 20 point swing well... what happened? There was 17 months of sensitivity training or something?

A Senator makes $174,000/year. So a first year corporate lawyer makes about a third more than our top public servants. We are asking for corruption by underpaying our public servants this badly.

Weirdest thing about Barack Obama speaking is that he talks as if he just observed things from the White House for eight years instead of governing a rapidly deteriorating society and Democratic Party.

I'm enjoying @jimmy_dore putting House progressives on the spot on how they aren't demanding anything in return for giving Pelosi their vote for Speaker. He's pointing out they have not organized a coherent political agenda.

How Democrats Killed Their Populist Soul

In the 1970s, a new wave of post-Watergate liberals stopped fighting monopoly power. The result is an increasingly dangerous political system.
