An epitaph for Rush Limbaugh: He trafficked in hate

The catastrophe now playing out in Texas is a natural experiment in what happens when a state is in the tight grip of right wing plutocratic politicians who cast themselves as populists and energy and other predatory corporations.

Cruz, Abbot, and Perry are creatures of this destructive and anti-popular alliance.

Mitch is “disingenuous,” to steal Nancy Pelosi’s word, but his speech upon the conclusion of the Senate impeachment trial can only widen the split in the Republican Party.

House Managers once again were brilliant in their closing remarks. In stark contrast, Trump’s lawyer is trafficking in lies, invention, and false equivalencies. He’s also on behalf of Trump throwing Trump’s supporters under the bus.
