Just a week after raising hopes that the GOP would finally do something about immigration reform, House Speaker John Boehner did a complete flip flop and said that Republicans will again refuse to do anything about it. And then he blamed Obama, saying “There’s widespread doubt about whether this administration can be trusted to enforce […]
Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers gave the GOP response to Obama’s State of the Union speech, and promoted a story about a purported failure of Obamacare: Not long ago I got a letter from Bette in Spokane, who hoped the President’s health care law would save her money – but found out instead that her premiums […]
Republicans decry the lack of bipartisanship in Washington. Seriously. Good thing we have Jon Stewart to call them on their bullshit:
Jon Stewart tears apart Obama’s speech on NSA reforms: We already have plenty of evidence that without strict oversight, America’s spying agencies will always overstep their authority and violate the law. But we don’t seem to be able to learn from history, so I suppose we are doomed to repeat it.
OMG! Six Million People who previously had insurance losing their health care coverage in a single day! Reports of massive screwups in the launch! Rates skyrocketing! Computer glitches! Overloaded telephone lines! Confusion! Government working around the clock to clean up the mess! You would be excused if you thought those are today’s headlines about Obamacare, […]
Conservative Chief Justice of the Supreme Court John Roberts has issued a report that warns that the US court system is being damaged by the sequestration budget. According to Roberts, the cuts to the federal court system’s budget “pose a genuine threat to public safety”. So, Republicans will not let the government raise any new […]
Last August, Tea Party favorite Ted Cruz promised to renounce his Canadian citizenship before the end of the year. Well, he lied. He is still a dual citizen of the US and Canada. When asked recently about it, Cruz claimed that his lawyers are still preparing the paperwork. But immigration attorneys say that renouncing Canadian […]
Just a few days after the budget bill that included canceling emergency unemployment benefits but increased spending on the already bloated military, our government has added injury to insult by passing a new National Defense Authorization Act which unbelievably gives $30 billion more to the military than was was allocated just a few days ago. […]
© Ruben Bolling Any time I hear someone say “the government shouldn’t pick winners and losers” I have to laugh. Almost everything the government does picks winners and losers. When something becomes illegal, the people who were doing that thing become losers. When Congress gives tax breaks, the people who receive those breaks become winners. […]
© Tom Tomorrow Where have all the compassionate conservatives gone?
Corporations have definitely become the new aristocracy. They have more rights than actual, real people, but are amazingly exempt from many laws. And yet they keep violating the law and largely getting away with it, with at most paying a fine that is often less than they amount of money they made from breaking the […]
The Supreme Court is considering two cases that question whether Obamacare can set requirements for health insurance, even if the companies providing that insurance object to those requirements on religious grounds. In particular, the Affordable Care Act requires large employers to provide preventative care at no cost, which includes contraceptive services. Note that religious non-profits […]
The “Party of No” is at it again. Republicans loudly denounced the deal that the Obama administration had negotiated with Iran, even before they had any idea of what was in it. The first denunciation came around five minutes after it was first leaked that a deal had been been struck, and hours before there […]
© Tom Tomorrow I stand by my proposed rule: nobody (especially in the media) is allowed to attack healthcare reform unless they say what they would do better. If they claim that the old system was just fine, so be it (although I will heartily laugh at them). Otherwise, it isn’t about health care, they […]
Seriously? The media decides to compare the rollout of Obamacare to Dubya’s handling of Hurricane Katrina? But if that isn’t insane enough, the media had to take it one step beyond that and try to make it sound unfair to Bush to compare Obamacare to Katrina. Naturally, the Daily Show makes quick work of that: […]
