Interesting side note on Heritage, they also gave us… Obamacare. Yep. THe ACA was a Heritage Foundation brain child, as only a scheme to force people to buy a product at point of law could be. Roberts was also the one quoted as saying that Project 2025 WAS the blueprint for a “new American Revolution” that would be a “bloodless one if the left will allow it.” So far I’m not seeing it as bloodless, but the bloodletting? Not so much on the left.
As for MTG, the tell may be in her effective date of ”I’m outta here”. She’s departing the hallowed [sic] halls of Congress on January 5th, 2026, five years to the day from when she was first sworn in. Want to guess how long the vesting period is for the US House retirement plan? If you said “Hey, that’s five years!” good for YOU!
And finally, new polling indicates that out of all voting blocs, Trump is underwater with Independents by FORTY-THREE PERCENT. And overall, his approval rating is anywhere from 9 to 26 percent underwater — even with Fox News.
We can only hope Thomas and then we as Democrats need to get to work figuring out who we are and what we stand for as a group. I’ve been reading your column for years. I get many political columns and news letters, but yours is the only one I read religiously. I’m a flaming social Democrat, but I understand most voters are not. Let me put in a plug for ranked choice voting.
Don’t forget the blatant hypocrisy of the GOP (Guardians of Pedophiles) regarding Russia. Those Cold War “warriors” who have long known Russia is a threat to the US must be spinning in their graves. The GOP has been trying to beat it into our heads that they’re the party of national security for decades. Where are they now? I guess they went extinct along with all of the so-called “deficit hawks.”

It’s enough to give one a Schädengasm.

Green has turned a profession that’s inherently shameful into an even bigger joke.

Spreading misinformation is never acceptable. Time to expose all the hate mongers and open eyes. Trump feeds off hate and anger. Well written Thomas
