Watch this video in which a former CIA officer named Ray McGovern tells CNN that they need to follow the example of a real journalist’ Julian Assange. McGovern could not be more correct.

I put this in the hilarious category because sometimes you have to laugh to keep from crying. But really, everything the Republicans are holding hostage in order to get extra tax cuts for the rich is far more sad than funny.

In an incredibly disgusting move Senate Republicans have blocked an up or down vote on a bill that would make sure 9/11 heroes have access to health care. Consider what Senate Republicans are blocking right now: 1. Health Care for 9/11 first responders. Paid for by closing tax loopholes for foreign corporations. 2. The START [...]
