  • Distortions About Medicare for All

    “Buttigieg’s Medicare buy-in would merely permit those who lack insurance but have plenty of money to buy into Medicare by paying a high premium.

  • Social Security Defenders Warn of Buttigieg “Right-Wing Talking Points” on Austerity

    “Austerity is a lie. America is the wealthiest country in the history of the world.

  • Banana Republic, USA

    “The first member of the Forbes 400 ever to sit in the White House survives impeachment after his lawyers and followers argue that what he did in the Ukraine wasn’t a high enough crime or misdemeanor.

  • Iowa and Democratic Party Corporate Corruption

If voters’ first choice…

  • “Peace Plan” a “Charade” as Israeli Military Machine Proceeds

    “The ‘Deal of the Century’ is not a ‘peace plan,’ nor was it ever intended to be, despite what its chief architect and White House adviser Jared Kushner has been claiming. It is yet another propagandist U.S. government political undertaking justified by the false notion that it is in the best interest of the American…

  • Truth in Impeachment: A Victim of Schiff, not Just Trump

    “While the Democratic impeachment managers have accused Trump repeatedly of dishonesty — often with good reason — they themselves have twisted the truth to serve their own political agenda. Impeachment manager Adam Schiff, for example, claimed that ‘more than 15,000 Ukrainians have died fighting Russian forces and their proxies’ and that the military aid [which…

  • “Biden’s Friends and Backers Come Out on Top”

    “Given the Trump family’s penchant for mixing personal and official business, it’s tempting to dismiss the Biden clan’s affairs as no crime, no foul. But Biden’s friends and backers have won victories that cost the middle-class Americans he claims to champion dearly. … In 1996, Biden’s cozy relationship with the banks was used against him.…
