1/ The Senate tax bill would raise taxes on the middle class while giving large cuts to millionaires over the next decade, according to analysis by the Joint Committee on Taxation. Taxpayers would see their taxes cut by 7.4% on average in 2019, but by 2027 their taxes would rise by an average of 0.2%. Those making between $20,000 and $30,000 would have their tax bills rise 25.4% by 2027 while people earning over $100,000 continue to receive tax cuts. (Washington Post / The Hill)

Moore responded to McConnell’s threat in a tweet: “Bring. It. On.”

Epic response to this tweet comes from the Director of the movie, Bring It On.

Apparently, Moore thinks we live in a cheerocracy.

Damn, missed this in today’s shuffle

The FCC just repealed a 42-year-old rule blocking broadcast media mergers

A radio newscaster accused Al Franken of kissing and groping her without consent during a 2006 U.S.O. tour of the Middle East before he took public office.

That knocked the wind out of me today, I’m just so utterly disappointed in Senator Franken. His actions are commpletely inexcusable and he should been held accountable. I know we need all the votes we can get in the senate right now but this is a human right’s issue, he should resign.
