"The fact is there is no more money. Period," says Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot. She's talking about the teachers' strike that has paralyzed her city's public schools—enrollment 360,000—for the past week. The public employee union is demanding more: more money for salaries (only eight states pay teachers more than Illinois), more support staff (Illinois ranks first in spending on administrators), more teachers per student. Their cause has attracted national attention. Elizabeth Warren joined the picket line.
Democrats are rushing into impeachment despite the knowledge that, given what we know now, the Senate will not remove Donald Trump from office. Why is Nancy Pelosi doing this?
Rodents are raining from the ceiling of the White House press room. Maybe it's a metaphor for how the media, especially of the cable news variety, has become a plague of absurdity, an endless circle jerk of extraneous "analysis" and soul-crushing tedium.
The 2020 Democratic primary is essentially a three-way race between centrist frontrunner Joe Biden and socialism-inclined challengers Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.). Warren has sought to appropriate certain aspects of Bernie's platform while subtly positioning herself as the "safer" socialist alternative to Biden. It was only a matter of time before the Sanders campaign started lashing out.
It is impossible to separate the latest attack on Justice Brett Kavanaugh from the political strategy of the Democratic Party. On September 16, two days after the New York Times "Sunday Review" section told of another allegation of sexual misconduct during Kavanaugh's college years, "Axios AM" described Democratic plans "to portray President Trump, Justice Brett Kavanaugh and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell as the three villains defining the three branches of government for the 2020 campaign." The reasoning: "Each of these white men, they will argue, symbolizes Republican corruption and rule-bending."
Liberals are united in their desire to remove Justice Brett Kavanaugh from the Supreme Court. They are united in the belief they can do so without using existing impeachment protocols. They are now divided into three different camps over how best to achieve that goal.
CNN contributor and Democratic fundraiser Andrew McCabe, who previously served as deputy FBI director under James Comey, the freak-bodied FBI director who reinvented himself as a social media influencer after President Donald Trump fired him like a dog, is preparing to face criminal charges for lying to federal investigators.
