Mitch McConnell must have a rock in his turtle shell, or maybe he finally figured out that Marjorie Taylor Greene is a freaking stick of dynamite wired to a grenade and he better do something to get it into...
This is interesting. This has all the earmarks of something that leaked out and now Joe Manchin is miffed that it leaked. The story of Manchin having an exit strategy was broken by Mother Jones, specifically by David Corn...
2019 is definitely one for the books and it’s only three days old.  Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib already made headlines today taking her oath of office on Thomas Jefferson’s copy of the 1743 translation of the Koran, and she was quoted...

It seems like just about once a year, Punxsutawney Veselnitskaya pokes her head up out of her hole, and Vladimir Putin in a topper gravely proclaims how many more weeks of Russian winter Trump will have to suffer […]
