    Do Pirro and Bartiromo have anything to do with Fox Business? I skimmed a quick search on the FHA rule change they keep going on about. So far, all I've found is a reduction in the mortgage...

    Sorry - I no longer consider even Fox Business a credible source of news, commentary or analysis. Like Breitbart, Fox as a news outlet has been proven to misrepresent and outright lie in the name of...

    Thomas needs to be impeached. However, we've known how shady he is since the Anita Hill issue was brushed aside during his confirmation hearings. I think the whole confirmation process needs to be...

    I think there's a lot to think about re the Supreme Court: term limits, selection criteria and process, regulation all come immediately to mind. My hope is that, since MAGA talking points seem to have...

    All my frustrated schadenfreude aside, I can understand why Dominion would settle.. What bothers me is the possible loss from the public record of all the evidence they pulled together. The court...

    Yes. Meanwhile, it's a great example of corporate cost-shifting: make taxpayers carry the cost of cleaning up the pollution the agribiz corporations are dumping into our ecosystems. This allows them...

    They're not worried about clean water or family farms. They are protecting big agribusiness from regulations affecting their bottom line - like agricultural runoff - a major pollutant affecting both...

    Feels like the middle sixties to me. I have a sneaking suspicion that we ain't seen nuthin' yet. I found a book on Audible: "Why Liberals Win the Culrure Wars (Even When They Lose Elections)”...

    I'm old enough to remember the start of the shift to for-profit healthcare. Blue Cross started the stampede back in 1973 when it began shifting to a for-profit model. The corporate party line was that...
