Just as Democrats got that one-seat cushion from Raphael Warnock's victory over Herschel Walker Tuesday night, Arizona Democratic senator Kyrsten Sinema has to do this. Warnock's victory was going to give the Democrats a 51-49 majority in the Senate for the next two years. While they could pass tie-breaking votes with the one vote of... Continue Reading →

Bloomy’s Slutty Slots
Did I mention in the last blog after the debate that Michael Bloomberg had a lousy night? It wasn't just that Bloomberg got kicked in the teeth by Elizabeth Warren all night long, but that he wasn't prepared at all. For example, at one point, he criticized Bernie Sanders for owning three homes despite being... Continue Reading →
Sneaking On Pete
Donald Trump is going to cheat in the next election. How do we know this? First off, because he's Donald Trump and he's a Republican. Also, he cheated last time, he's boasted he's going to cheat this time, he's already doing it, and the United States Senate has given him carte blanche in lawbreaking. Bernie... Continue Reading →
Iowa
Screw you, Iowa. It's not like you didn't have time to prepare. Nothing snuck up on you because you've had the distinction of being the first state to vote since 1972. And you decided to use an app you had more difficulty navigating than an elderly man ordering Uber Eats. The vote was Monday. It's... Continue Reading →
Fun With White People
A lot of people are pointing out that the most diverse field of presidential candidates in one party isn't so diverse anymore. That was painfully obvious at last night's debate in Iowa. While there was still diversity on the stage with two women, one gay candidate, and one really old white Jewish guy, there was... Continue Reading →
Wine Cave
If you had to Google "wine cave" after the last week's Democratic debate, you're not alone. To reach the wine cave Pete Buttigieg and Elizabeth Warren quibbled over, The New York Times wrote that you "must navigate a hillside shrouded in mossy oak trees and walk down a brick-and-limestone hallway lined with wine barrels. And... Continue Reading →

Voting From The Hoosegow
During CNN's town hall on Monday night, Bernie Sanders said prisoners should be allowed to vote. The response from most people, even fellow Democrats, seems to be, "Uh, do what now?" Sanders was asked the question by a member of the audience, and he replied, "I think the right to vote is inherent to our... Continue Reading →
