“A CNN poll this week showed the first uptick for Clinton since June, suggesting that perhaps Clinton has already bottomed out.. once she hits bottom, Democrats predict Clinton will find her footing.” Democratic enthusiasm for Hillary Clinton is absolutely overwhelming.

Lynchburg, VA—Amos 5:24- But let justice roll on like a river, and righteousness like a never-failing stream.

On Saturday, Bernie Sanders was scheduled to speak to a crowd of thousands of supporters in a Seattle park. He never did; the event was shut down after a handful of protesters disrupted it in the name of “Black Lives Matter.” This was remarkably dumb.

If Hillary Clinton’s stance on the minimum wage is any indicator, the Democratic party can expect a leader who specializes in the party’s greatest talent: capitulation.

Today, Hillary Clinton gave her first major speech on her economic policy. “Blah blah working families,” she said. What did she really say?

Plaid-condom monogram Tucker Carlson is apparently a semi-regular on Alex Jones’s crazy-talk show, because even if jet fuel can’t melt steel, it can give eight pounds of frat-boy hair a lovely volumizing body. Here’s the duo riffing jazzlike on Obama’s very clearly Nazi-like tendency to embrace racial diversity.

Why did Alan Grayson call a reporter a “shitting robot” yesterday? Because that reporter learned the liberal populist hero Florida congressman, worth somewhere south of $100 million, keeps as much as a quarter of his wealth in “hedge funds in the Cayman Islands” where foreign investors can dodge U.S. taxes.

Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.), one of the wealthiest anti-corporate corporatists in Congress, may possibly run for Marco Rubio’s open Senate seat. Nothing’s certain! Except that Alan Grayson, one of the most obnoxious members of an obnoxious Congress, will make an ass of himself. Just look what he did today.

Though we wish it could be so, Elizabeth Warren is not running for president. The dominant narrative has already become: Warren’s supporters will now have to settle for trying to exert influence on Hillary Clinton. Not so fast, narrative!

This afternoon, Massachusetts Senator and presidential non-candidate Elizabeth Warren spoke to a crowd of 200 sweaty fans at the Strand book store in Manhattan. Everything she said was true, which is fairly remarkable, for a politician.

Here in the liberal media, we all like to joke, in our little liberal elite cabal, about how dumb Republicans are. And Republicans sure are dumb! But are they dumber than Democrats?

Asked about the prospect of running for the presidency, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, America's last populist, said very clearly on the Today show this morning "No. I'm not running and I'm not going to run." Is she going to run?

The executive director of the Republican Governor's Association and the executive director of the Democratic Governor's Association announced today that they are getting together to sell their mutual political connections to the highest bidder.

A new poll shows populist (by American standards) darling Elizabeth Warren running at 10% in a hypothetical Democratic presidential primary, while Hillary Clinton stands at 65%. Still, the Clintons fear Elizabeth Warren. Why?

While all of us are splitting our attention between Ferguson protests and Thanksgiving planning, Congress is trying to pass a package of tax breaks that would cost $440 billion. It is worth getting angry about!

New York City, Philadelphia, and Columbus, Ohio are the finalists to host the 2016 Democratic Convention. The Republicans will hold theirs in Cleveland. So the Democrats will be in Columbus, or in NYC if they've given up on the election and just want good restaurants.

As the Baby Name Critic was finishing her second Americano today, her editor informed her that her responsibilities at Gawker.com have expanded to include not just celebrity baby names, but analyses of baby-name data when necessary. Then the Baby Name Critic was sent this chart, from the Randian Costco of websites, Vox.com.

Democrats had a tough night.

Symbols fade with time. In 2008, when Barack Obama campaigned for the presidency, attempting to become the first black man to hold the the nation's highest office, his run was "historic" and "generations in the making." It was, by most accounts, a big win for the Democratic party, which had lost ground and political leverage during the Bush years. And though Obama endured a rocky first term, his run for re-election in 2012 was again seen as a sign of hope that America would continue to move forward.

Amidst news that big storms had passed over Hawaii, the state's governor, Neil Abercrombie, lost his bid for re-election, drawing the curtains on nearly four decades in elected office.
