GOP in Full Distraction Mode Ahead of Jan. 6th Hearings
GOP leadership stormed Twitter this a.m. with a flurry of denials, distractions & deflections ahead of the Select Committee’s first Jan. 6th hearings tonight.
Coffee: A Love Elixir to Save Your Life?
So I woke up this morning to the same chaotic world as always. Our boys were fighting playfully (sort of) about video games, and our daughter, in shorts and an oversized Nirvana t-shirt, was trying to convince me to let her stay home from school. Hair wild, body stiff, and with crusties still in the …
The Flying Objects Remain…Unidentified
They’re not called UFOs anymore, they’re called UAPs (Unmanned Aerial Phenomena). And they actually are real–even the government says so. It’s just that there’s no evidence they’re extraterrestrial in origin. This was the takeaway from last week’s public briefing to Congress, by Pentagon officials, on military reports of UAP sightings. It was the first of …
Stop the Steal, unless it’s Helping Republicans
As the sun set in Western Pennsylvania and returns began to post on primary night, voters not just across PA but across the country hoped to learn the result of the nation’s most expensive Senate primary. More than $55 million was spent, mostly on bitter attack ads exchanged between the two front runners in the …
Fetterman in, Cawthorn out, and other takeaways from Tuesday’s primaries

A Referendum on Abortion?
As last week’s news that the Supreme Court is preparing to overturn Roe v. Wade set in, commentators on both sides weighed in on how the bombshell ruling might register with voters ahead of the 2022 midterms. Was it an opportunity for Democrats to seize the narrative, despite facing an uphill battle to defend their …
Primary Season Begins: Races to Keep an Eye On
As primary season kicks off Tuesday with a high-profile Senate race in Ohio, the stakes could not be higher. Followed by another primary in Pennsylvania on the 17th, and another in Georgia on the 24th, it is not hyperbolic to say that control of the Senate in 2023 will very likely be decided by these …
The Bright Side: Dems Do have a Winning Message
Beneath the clouds of hand wringing and headlines declaring Democrats dead in the water ahead of this year’s midterms, there are still rays of hope shining through. Yes, Democrats are now officially trailing by about 2.5 points in 538’s Generic Congressional Ballot (although the difference remains well within reach between now and November). And, yes, …
Greg Abbott’s Border Theatrics are just more GOP Fear-Mongering
Remember the old GOP? How they used to talk about trickle down economics and keeping government out of the private sector? Yes, that GOP, the party for whom it would have been unthinkable to raise taxes on private citizens just for a Fox News photo-op? Well, those days are over. Publicity stunts at the expense …

Herschel Walker: Should We or Shouldn’t We?
Since the Georgia GOP Primary features a former college football star, it seems appropriate to use a sports analogy. So here goes: Watching the Georgia senate primary unfold this year is a bit like watching the College Football Playoffs. Our team has already advanced. Now we’re sitting on the couch, IPA in hand, watching the …
