Again, Trump fired SBA Inspector General Mike Ware after he found $200 billion in fraud in Trump's COVID programs and returned $40B to the US Treasury. Instead, Trump brought in a bunch of fascist boys who know nothing about accounting. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

If every Democrat in the House and Senate was doing was Chris Murphy has been doing we would be in a hell of a lot better shape heading into the midterms, and as a party generally. He understands how to do this in the social media era of politics. Most don’t have a clue.

It's Black History Month! Every day for Black History Month, I'm highlighting one of my favorite Black writers or authors. Today I'm highlighting a personal hero of mine: Angela Davis. Not only is she on the shortlist of smartest people alive, she's also a prolific defender of the marginalized.
