BOSTON (AP) — Tim Kaine is sounding a hopeful note that a Democratic White House could work with Republicans to bridge deep divides laid bare by this bitter presidential campaign. The vice presidential candidate told The Associated Press on Saturday that he and Hillary Clinton have already spoken about how to heal the nation if they should win. [...] Kaine said he's not worried about lacking a voice in a Clinton administration and expects to be a principal adviser to her on the most difficult issues if she wins. Kaine said his experience as Virginia's lieutenant governor and as Democratic National Committee chairman during President Barack Obama's first term has showed him how to be a strong adviser and asset for Clinton. Kaine might be well-positioned to work with Republicans, having won three statewide races — lieutenant governor, governor and senator — in historically Republican Virginia, although the state has started going Democratic in presidential contests.

    Before there was Fox News, before there was Rush Limbaugh, before there was the sprawling rightwing ecosystem of fake news and vicious smears we so enjoy today, there was the National Enquirer. For most of our lives, the Enquirer stared up at us from the checkout aisle of our local supermarket.

    Yesterday, in making a pitch for the Congressional Progressive Caucus, Bernie noted that “while it is critically important we do everything we can to defeat Donald Trump, it is just as important we work to elect progressives this November.” Amen! And it’s what Blue America does. Our endorsement page for incumbents is skimpy this cycle.

  • GOP Congressman DESTROYS Matt Gaetz; 'Paid' For 'Sex..At Drug Parties'
    Crooks and Liars, Wednesday - 05/01/2024 - 07:00 AM

    The collection of mooks that make up the current MAGA roster is what many of us saw coming years ago. It's been a long death spiral, highlighted by "I'm not a witch" and "2nd Amendment solutions," "palling around with terrorists" and "s*thole countries."Most recently, a puppy killer. So in principle it's not shocking to know that irritable bowel syndrome spokesperson Matt Gaetz so personally targeted a GOP colleague, Rep.
