Even though I’m not in her district (as I did with Speaker Pelosi back before she announced impeachment of Fat Nixon) I still called Carolyn Maloney’s office on Friday to find out what the plan was to hold MAGA political operative Postmaster General Louis DeJoy accountable.

As for-profit media continues to fail us, it’s more important than ever to find reliable sources. Authentic storytelling exists—you just have to look for it. On this blog you’ll get ideas, not ideology. Sass with class. Reporting with rapport. Evidence with a touch of evil. You get the idea.
Support independent authors, writers, artists, journalists and professionals. Buy a book, leave a review, start a discussion. Show solidarity so that we can achieve greater balance and, in the end, learn more.
