Be Smart. Stay Informed. Actively Dissent.
Trump crony, Tea Party leader, OMB Director, former-interim director of Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and Acting White House Chief of State.... Sounds like Mick Mulvaney is basically running our government and Trump's newest best friend. Back in August 2018, before adding Chief of State to his resume, you likely missed what good ole Mick was up to: harming our military men and women and their families.

It's the quiet things Trump and Republican "leadership" are doing without headlines, while no one is watching, that can be the most evil. That's what we try to post about here in addition to the major news. Here's one that I doubt any one of you reading this head about back in September 2018.

A good portion of the federal government may be shut down, but you can rest assured that the devoted Obamacare saboteurs at the Department of Health and Human Services are on the job.

This in fact is the swamp that needs to be drained. When the richest people in this nation can pay off OUR Department of JUSTICE to get rules reversed, we see clear evidence of the swamp that corrupts all. For it to be the Justice Department is a new level of shock.
Adelson, who has poured millions into a multiyear lobbying campaign....to curb online gambling.... spent tens of millions in the 2016 election backing Trump and has emerged as one of the most powerful and influential donors in GOP politics.
