Police arrested more than 400 protesters outside the U.S. Capitol on Monday from Democracy Spring, an organization seeking to remove big money from politics and combat restrictive voter identification laws. And not a word from the corporate media! :doh: Police arrest 400 at U.S. Capitol in...

How do our brains work? Nobel winning psychologist Daniel Kahneman describes two different mental modes in his book,Thinking Fast and Slow. Most of our lives are spent in an automatic or intuitive mode he calls System 1. This intuitive mind uses mental shorthand to make rapid assessments of...

If you think that supporters of Bernie Sanders are first and foremost angry about matters of policy — for instance, the way our broken campaign finance laws, market regulations, and trade policies are destroying the hopes and ambitions of most of America — you’re absolutely right. But that’s...

Dear Cherished Friends, The Republican Party has become intellectually and morally bankrupt, a mockery of its traditions — corrosive to our society, our civility, and our capacity to govern. This is not a temporary condition; it is woven into the fabric of the party. Unless and until it...

I'll say this - SOME Republicans DO get it. Mitt Romney took to Twitter on Monday to denounce Trump’s infamous KKK hedge. For months Romney has been cautiously critical of Trump, but only now does Romney consider Trump’s antics “disqualifying.” Other conservatives have now echoed Romney’s...

An Open Letter to Bill Clinton from a Former Neighbor and Bernie Sanders Supporter We used to be neighbors, though I doubt you would remember me. I used to live just down the street from you on F & 19th. I often took evening strolls by your government housing quarters on Pennsylvania Avenue...

California is Not For Sale initiative. The Problem Big money in politics has gone too far. Average citizens don’t have a voice and it’s time that changes. By highlighting big money in politics, we can raise awareness around this issue and give citizens the voice they deserve. The Solution Our...

For a good Christian, Ted Cruz sure does play dirty. He's perfecting the art of deceiving would-be voters, whether by lying about Ben Carson dropping out of the race, or trying to threaten them into voting for him by implying not voting would get them in trouble with the law. His latest direct...

Let’s be honest – there was no winner of the Iowa Republican Caucus. Now that the voting has started we can see that the race is impossibly deadlocked and unlikely to clear. Barring some extraordinary collapse we can be very confident that no candidate will pick up a clear majority of the...

What sounded then like fantasy now looks like prophecy. What they heard as they ate deli sandwiches around Donald Trump’s hulking, wooden conference table sounded like the businessman’s typical bravado. These 25 New York political operatives had come to ask him to run for governor. But Trump...

Instead of being angry that the feds didn’t rush this compound, liberals should use this story to push for smarter, less aggressive policing generally. We’re in the midst, prompted by the Black Lives Matter movement, of a nationwide discussion about the dangers of the “shoot first” philosophy of...
