The 10 Most Insane Requirements Of The Green New Deal…

at

A number of Democratic Party presidential hopefuls — including Cory Booker, Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, Kirsten Gillibrand, Julián Castro, and Beto O’Rourke, for starters — have already endorsed or expressed support for the “Green New Deal” (GND). Today, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez dropped details about her plan. It is not hyperbole to contend that GND is likely […]

Sanders Offers Estate Tax Bill Topping Out at 77 Percent…

at

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who is mulling a 2020 Democratic presidential bid, offered a bill on Thursday to expand the estate tax as progressive lawmakers discuss ways to increase taxes on the wealthy. “Our bill does what the American people want by substantially increasing the estate tax on the wealthiest families in this country and dramatically […]

Elizabeth Warren Apologizes to Cherokee Nation for DNA Test…

at

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) has apologized to the Cherokee Nation for taking a DNA test to prove her scant Native American background. Tribal leaders said Warren apologized, but would not specify what she said, according to Tulsa World. In a statement, Cherokee Nation said, “Senator Warren has reached out to us and has apologized to […]

Elizabeth Warren Proposes 2% ‘Wealth Tax’ on Richest Americans…

at

Elizabeth Warren has never been a friend to the wealthy. But in the age of Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, merely advocating for “holding the rich accountable” simply doesn’t penetrate like it did back in 2008. And that’s because, on the left flank of the Democratic Party, you’re not really a progressive unless you believe […]

It’s Bernie, Bitch…

at

This dandy little bit of self-plagiarism is from three years ago, when I attended a painfully nerdy and shamefully self-congratulatory event to “Draft Warren” into the presidential primary. It was a farcical gathering of Type-A Tracy Flicks, barely worth the free booze, and even the assembled nerds quickly realized this Lisa Simpson of a dark-horse […]

Native American Sovereignty Is Under Attack. Here’s How Elizabeth Warren’s DNA Test Hurt Our Struggle…

at

Half a century ago, the Standing Rock Dakota scholar Vine Deloria Jr. wrote, “Whites claiming Indian blood tend to reinforce mythical beliefs about Indians.” Throughout her career, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., has used that mythical belief — what Deloria mocked as the “Indian-grandmother complex” — to stake a claim to Native American identity, like how […]

Cherokee Nation: Elizabeth Warren’s Claim To Tribe Is ‘Inappropriate’…

at

The Cherokee Nation called Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s use of a DNA test to justify her claim of Native American ancestry “inappropriate” on Monday. “A DNA test is useless to determine tribal citizenship,” the Cherokee Nation said in a statement released Monday. “Sovereign tribal nations set their own legal requirements for citizenship, and while […]

Elizabeth Warren on the Tibbets Murder: Sad She’s Dead, but ‘we have to remember’ We Need an Immigration System That ‘focuses on where real problems are’…

at

Sen. Elizabeth Warren is sorry that a 20-year-old Iowa student is dead and that a reported illegal alien has been charged in the killing, but the Massachusetts Democrat wants to stay focused on the “real problems.” This isn’t a paraphrase of something she said Wednesday on CNN. This is her actual response to a question […]
