The very definition of evil is incarcerating for life in one of the worst hellholes on Earth men who did everything right. But it’s beyond evil—beyond demonic—to then not try to do anything to save the men you consigned to Hell, and to in fact libel and slander them daily when they cannot reply.

The Rules Committee meets at 1 AM on Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning to ram through this disastrous bill. Why? Because they don't want you to see them ripping healthcare from millions of Americans. You do not hold a hearing for a bill at 1 AM unless you're completely ashamed of it.

If we were still a democracy the GOP would not be proceeding with a budget that will hurt virtually every American except a handful of the richest and most powerful. But they don’t work for the voters. They work for their donors.

Updated this piece about how the Trump admin removed images of women and persons of color from websites. The good news is that the webpage about a NASA employee overcoming adversity was restored after she posted about it. The bad news? NASA then fired her. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/whitewashi...

My Saturday PSA: Joe Biden isn’t the president anymore. Instead, we’ve got a mentally deranged and ethically compromised old man with the nuclear codes trespassing in the Oval Office. Stop talking about Joe Biden. Start talking about the Convicted Felon, Donald Trump.
