“Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), a leading progressive, also supports removing Stevens from the caucus over her decision to endorse Rogers, she told POLITICO.

‘Haley Stevens has shown her true colors. She is supporting a candidate for Senate that is a rubber stamp for Trump’s disastrous and dangerous administration,’ Jayapal told POLITICO. ‘She has no place in our party.’”

“Six House Democrats privately told POLITICO they want Stevens removed or for her to be somehow punished by leadership.”

The turncoat “was also removed from a series of House Democratic member text chats Sunday, according to three of the people, who were granted anonymity to speak candidly.

“Novaya Gazeta, one of Russia’s last independent news outlets, announced on Friday it would close down operations due to pressure from authorities.

"The new regime followed the dictator’s playbook to the letter, replacing competent officials with loyal sycophants; censoring the independent media and flooding the public with propaganda; seizing control of the courts, military, and police; and quickly dividing the nation into 'us' and 'them.'"

Thank you Right to Read Ohio for bringing this article to our attention.
Taking what they said in their post.... "We had 100 years of presidents extolling the importance of libraries for an informed society. That has changed.
We can change it back. Vote accordingly."

Have fun, Mr. Veto. Trump says he would become “Mr. Veto” if Democrats win control of Congress, promising to block their agenda before potentially negotiating deals later. “I’m not going to let them run it,” he said, adding that divided government would not be unprecedented. #USA

President Eisenhower, you have _kept Democrat FDRs 90% top tax rate on income, why?

"I tax lazy money that isnt doing anything"

And his corporate tax rate was over 40%

This USA Today article on Eisenhower is framed oddly, but yeah, 90% on highest income and over Forty for corps.

FDR, Truman and Eisenhower tax rates powered the biggest, longest, economic boom in history. Eight Presidential terms.
