The GOP outraised us

  john, I’m not trying to alarm you, but Senate Republicans’ campaign arm just announced that they outraised Democrats in May. When they’re not holding the economy hostage or ginning up fake controversies, Mitch McConnell and the GOP are raising huge sums of money from wealthy donors …

Louis DeJoy. Why is he still the Postmaster General?

  Do you remember Louis DeJoy, john? Donald Trump hand-picked him for Postmaster General after being one of his wealthiest campaign donors. That’s right. He’s the guy who slowed down mail delivery, cut pay for thousands of postal workers, canceled employee overtime, decommissioned mai…
