They suck so hard: IN EARLY FEBRUARY, Republicans brought an FBI veteran to Capitol Hill whom they hoped would expose a “deep state conspiracy” among Democrats and their accomplices in the intelligence community. The GOP witness was part of a network of “whistleblowers” — funneled to congressional Republicans’ new Weaponization of Government panel by allies of Donald Trump — to reveal covert attacks on the former president and broad, anti-conservative discrimination. But before the interview was over, it was the GOP witness who was failing to answer difficult questions — and Democratic committee staff doing the asking. In the interview, the witness, former FBI supervisory intelligence analyst George Hill, had admitted he had little or no firsthand knowledge of alleged “deep state” scandals. Instead, he brought baggage of his own: a history of inflammatory commentary on social media.

By Ralph Nader Most citizen advocates who work with U.S. senators on a wide variety of issues probably would agree that the late South Dakota Democrat, James Abourezk, was one of a kind. It was not that he was so honest, so down to earth, or so engaging with friend and foe alike. Rather, it […]

It’s time for CPAC again, the annual gathering of the most committed members of the right wing in America to catch up with their fellow travelers and own them some libs. Lately they’ve been holding their little convention several times a year in different places like Hungary and Texas but this weekend they’re back on their favorite stomping grounds in DC. There’s a bit of controversy over the fact that certain probable presidential candidates aren’t bothering to show up this year, something that would have been unheard of in years past. Instead of attending the traditional hate-fest they’ve decided to go to a big donor confab hosted by the Club for Growth. Why? Because CPAC has become a wholly owned subsidiary of the MAGA movement with Donald Trump topping the bill as keynote speaker. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis decided to attend the donor meeting rather than go mano a mano with the former president, taking refuge with the group that has said it’s dedicated to depriving Trump of another term. DeSantis isn’t the only one. Former Vice President Mike Pence, Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, South Dakota Gov.
