VIDEOElie Mystal had an hilarious reaction to the new GOP House rules which he expressed in his unique way in an MSNBC appearance with Chris Hayes. The weird thing is as Hayes even admitted is that the new House rules will make it harder to serve the interests of lobbyists and corporate America. I am old enough to remember a time when making the rules tougher for the interests of lobbyists and corporations was something that would be hailed by liberals. Now those rules seem to disturb them greatly.

Reaching out here because I haven't had any luck with search engines like google. I can no longer go to the free clinic thats near me to get my medications and the walkin clinics are ridiculously expensive. All I need is a doc to look at my medical history and medications and approve a refill.

As members of Congress, Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) and Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) formed a brutally powerful duo on Capitol Hill last decade, developing a niche specialty in blowing things up. In 2015, Meadows delivered the blow that helped sink the incumbent House speaker, John Boehner (R-Ohio), and Jordan led the charge over the next two weeks to help defeat the establishment choice, Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), for speaker. But for the past week, the co-founders of the House Freedom Caucus have been on opposing sides of Washington’s biggest fight: McCarthy’s marathon attempt to become House speaker. Three blocks away, in a...

The Funeral Rites of Benedict XVI and the Many Petty Gestures of FrancisFrancis’ Petty Heart Mediocre people surround themselves with ones even more mediocre than themselves in order to be able to manage them as they please and conceal their own mediocrity.

I summarize here some of the events of the last few days, mostly anecdotal, but which reveal the mean and petty soul of Pope Francis. Some are public;...
