Cases spreading at a record-setting pace...

If this were 1942 instead of 2022, Republicans would be running against food and energy rationing in the name of freedom.

COVID Cruise Ships Can Dock In Mexico

The Mexican government said Tuesday it will allow cruise ships carrying people infected with the coronavirus to dock. The announcement came after two Mexican ports refused to allowed passengers ashore because their ships had coronavirus cases. The Health Department said passengers or crew who show no symptoms will be allowed to come ashore normally,

Every week Republicans are excited about a new candidate because the one they liked last week turned out to be a mooooron.

Rest In Peace, Harry Reid

Harry Reid, the pugnacious son of a Nevada hard-rock miner who rose from poverty to become the U.S. Senate majority leader and earned a reputation as a fierce partisan fighter during an era of political gridlock in Washington, died on Tuesday. He was 82.

My favorite Harry Reid story is when he worked on the Nevada Gaming Commission in the 1970s, and a mobster tried to bribe him. Reid went to the FBI and set up a sting, but when the time came, Reid went off-script and choked the guy! "You son of a bitch, you tried to bribe me!" - Adversus Nihilismus tweet

Apparently, Schmeck Is A Schmuck

The Oregon father of four who quickly rose to infamy by blurting out “Let’s Go Brandon” during a Christmas Eve call with President Joe Biden is—of course—now fully leaning into his newfound right-wing celebrity status.

Jared Schmeck on Monday donned a red MAGA hat and embraced election denialism during an appearance on former Trump strategist Steve Bannon’s insurrectionist podcast.

Jared Schmeck reminds us that the Trump Republicans are not only coarse, vulgar, crude, ill-mannered and simple-minded, but also... proud of it

Why Isn't This Woman Locked Up?

If the owners of Publix are Trump supporters, that's their prerogative, understanding Trump's huge tax cut was a boon to their bottom line. That it caused the deficit to balloon is incidental but what Julie Fancelli did as the daughter of Publix founder is totally un-American. She wired $650,000 to three groups to organize the Trump insurrection-instigated rally. Good people of Florida, you have a choice of where to shop, even though Publix saturates the market.
