McGovern: "A family making less than $50,000 a year? They get less than $1 a day in tax cuts. You can't buy a damn cup of coffee with that. But those making a million dollars or more? They'll get more than $250 a day in tax breaks ... that's how rigged this bill is to benefit the wealthy."

Ossoff: "If we allow Affordable Care Act benefits to expire, as this bill would, more than a million Georgians will pay more for health insurance next year. A family of 4 in Clayton County making $65k a year - that's a $2,600 increase...the AJC reports 300k Georgians would lose insurance altogether"

Who the fuck in their right mind refers to our Secretary of Defense as “Secretary of Defense (War!)”?

Also, just from reading this, it is my suspicion that not a single pilot complained about anything, and he just made all this up because of his own feelings of inadequacy

Laws don't mean very much, says Housakos. They only mean something when the government is willing to respect those laws, and back them up. He says he doesn't mind bending some environment rules, because our country, he claims, is facing bankruptcy.

Why Won't the Media Mention Israel's Nukes?

I take on the media's biased coverage, which always presents nuclear-armed Israel as the victim and non-nuclear Iran as the aggressor.

How Israel and the U.S. manufactured a fake crisis with Iran that could lead to all-out war

The long-dreaded war in the Persian Gulf between a U.S.-backed Israel and Iran appears imminent, and it is all based on a manufactured crisis aimed at undermining the Iran nuclear negotiations.

Take one minute: go to bit.ly/IsraelOnNotice and send a letter to the Israeli government, UN officials, and diplomatic missions demanding that Israel abide by international law and refrain from attacking, sabotaging or otherwise interfering with the #Madleen and her mission.
