Hello Merrick?!! Anyone Home?
The world has now witnessed two public hearings on the insurrection and what we have seen so far is jaw dropping. The question remains is this just the most public "show and tell"or will the DOJ actually pick up what the House Insurrection committee is putting down?!?

Can Our Democracy Survive?
It's time the rose colored glasses are removed. Our democracy isn't just in trouble--it's in shambles and yet the Party that is supposedly in control doesn't seem to see the writing on the wall--quite the contrary--they are still referring to the violent, white supremacist opposition as their "friends" and or "rational republicans" they are neither. Will democracy survive the GOP threat and the Democrats inaction?!?

F**K Them Kids
The GOP loves to tout their family values and their pro-life stance but we know the truth. If you cared about babies you wouldn't vote against providing them formula. If you cared about kids you wouldn't make them learn active shooter drills, If you cared about kids you would actually protect them when they are able to breathe air! It's been a hard week. Danielle and Waj try to make sense of the nightmare this country can't seem to wake from.

The White Supremacist Death March
The recent terrorist massacre that took 10 Black lives--once again brings into focus two things: 1. America's love affair with assault rifles and 2. America's love affair with white supremacy. We as a nation are in danger and have shifted to a place where your skin color and wealth or geography aren't keeping you safe any longer. What will it take for Democrats to take real action and America to wake up?!?

RIP Roe
In an unsurprising move, the 6-3 radicalized conservative Supreme Court, has decided to screw precedent and overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 law that legalized abortion in the United States. While the decision hasn't officially been made, a leaked document from the SCOTUS reveals in a lengthy 98-pages all the reasons nothing is off the table for Republicans moving forward. So, what will Democrats response be?!?

Testicular Tanning and White Male Fragility.
The extremist GOP cult has a series of new fetishes that shouldn't be laughed off--why? Because they all stem from a place of white male fragility that often leads to expressions of masculinity through acts of violence. From Tucker Carlson's new "documentary" to the attacks by DeSantis on abortion--nothing that the GOP is doing is a laughing matter, so why aren't Democrats punching back?
