Get the inside scoop from the 2014 State of the Union

I’ll be reporting live from the White House — and you can be there virtually, too. There aren’t many things more exciting than being invited to the White House. At least not to me. So you can imagine how thrilled I was to learn I’d been selected as one of the lucky social media users who will attend the #SOTUSocial […]

I’m sick and tired of being held hostage by GOP extremists

I’m sick and tired of being held hostage by GOP extremists

Think it’s wrong for a vocal minority to tell the rest of us how to live our lives? Me, too. I’ve had it. Enough is enough.

Why President Obama’s upcoming economic speeches matter

I feel […]

Brewer has fully embraced Medicaid expansion. It’s the right thing to do for […]

It’s deja vu all over again Paul Ryan and his GOP pals released their latest budget proposal today. While it aims to eliminate the deficit by 2040. How do they hope to do this. No surprise: it cuts Medicare, Medicaid, SCHIP and Social Security, leaves military spending alone and cuts taxes on the wealthy. The New Ryan Plan leaves the […]

GOP primary candidates: “Obama wants high gas prices because…um…”

Dude, that doesn’t even make any sense Mitt Romney claimed this week that the Obama administration wants gas prices to be high: [Romney] called for President Barack Obama to fire what he called the “gas hike trio” of Energy Secretary Steven Chu, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar and Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa Jackson. “These three, this trio of his energy […]

Wake Up Call: They Can Win

Wake Up Call: They Can Win

Mitt Romney is in a cult: The Republican Party. That any American could vote for a Republican after what that Party did to this country baffles me. That the Republican they’d vote for is Mitt Romney, a transparent shill who has embraced the worst policies of Bush and Cheney, makes me angrier than Chris Christie being interrupted by state worker […]
