The House GOP continues to be a complete clown show and they’ve kicked into overdrive to do anything they can to keep Donald Trump out of jail and get him back in the White House. My new analysis for

The Republicans are operating in an alternative universe where Dems are defunding police everywhere and elective abortions up to birth and after. It's bizarre. My lastest for @MeidasTouch on how weird the debate was with John Nichols of the Nation. https://youtu.be/Msk3pxhyj...

Mission accomplished
Nathan Standing @cryptosantraVivek Ramaswamy remains a "stupid conspiracies" fountain. We all know he's prattling on to an audience of exactly one person: Trump, their king-god.03:24 PM - Aug 24, 2023
Looks like it worked, too.

Excited to host our next town hall for Forgotten Democrats with Dennis Aftergut and Kaylee Peterson this Tuesday at 8PM EST. We will talk Trump legal jeopardy and what it's like to run in a deep red district. https://us02web.zoom.us/me...

We are winning. I know it's hard to see it sometimes but I walk through a string of wins that our pro-democracy movement has racked up. We are in a fight and there is a long way to go but we have to believe that we are winning and not despair. Check out my piece for @MeidasTouch now.

I try not to hype every show but this week's chat with Congressman Eric Swalwell is really a banger of a show on @MeidasTouch and you don't want to miss this conversation. Check it out now. https://youtu.be/Gy2b1h0hg...

I had the most fascinating chat with author Jeff Sharlet about his journeys through the far right of America on the latest On Democracy podcast on the MeidasTouch Network. I hope you'll check it out. https://youtu.be/44WF_W4p9...

Great new episode of 'On Democracy with FPWellman' with guest comedian Christopher Titus. We talk about everything from USO tours in Iraq to Boebert's divorce. Check it out on the MeidasTouch network.

Huge shout out to another local news org busting a national story. Mid-Hudson News has destroyed a story that was flooding the right wing echo chamber about homeless veterans being kicked out of an upstate New York hotel for migrants to replace them. It was all a complete lie.

Homeless men recruited for veteran hotel scam - Mid Hudson News
POUGHKEEPSIE – Seven homeless men have come forward to say they were part of a group of men recruited at a Poughkeepsie homeless shelter to act as veterans that had been displaced from a Newburgh hotel in order for a non-profit organization to perpetrate a fraud on the public. The men told Mid..

When the economy collapses because of Republican terrorism I'm not going to feel "owned." I am going to be fucking pissed and I will do everything in my power to make those fuckers pay.

Our country has become an absolute slaughterhouse and no one who is supposed to stop it is doing a damn thing.
03:23 PM - May 07, 2023
Whomst amongst us wouldn't pay for the nephew of a friend to attend a $6000 a month boarding school? I feel like we are all being a little judgemental probably. Just the other day a friend paid for our drink tab. No one is saying he bought me!
03:40 PM - May 04, 2023
Biden is right. The House GOP DOA does cut veterans services. They admit they included veterans as a bargaining chip. The health of 9 million vets who use VA is being held hostage. My take for MeidasTouch:

My latest Substack talks about dangerous fantasies like bison are cuddly and that there are 'reasonable Republicans' that will turn around the party. https://open.substack.com/...

The texts and tapes proved all of the horrible things people have been saying about Tucker Carlson. While Fox was able to duck them with Dominion they won't get so lucky with Abby Grossberg and Smartmatic. Tucker's hubris, hate, anti-semitism, and misogyny finally caught up to him.

Excited to officially join the Meidastouch Network with 'On Democracy with FPWellman'. Our new episodes post on Friday night and this week I spoke with former CIA Officer John Sipher about the recent leaks and more. https://youtu.be/gzSLnpr0Y...

What happens when the dog whistle gets dropped? My latest Substack looks at the recent leaked tapes from GOP meetings. We should listen. Hope you'll consider subscribing to the community. We are building a really cool platform.

Had a great time chatting with Matt Robison and former Congressman Paul Hodes on their Beyond Politics pod this week about my post on how the Republicans are acting like royalists as much as authoritarians. They think they are above the rules that govern the peasants. https://youtu.be/2N1zs2rLM...

Clarence Thomas is dirty. He doesn't give a shit what we think because he is protected by the entire Republican Party and the Democrats who are terrified of breaking 'norms and traditions.'

The NRA is still eager to get more Americans killed as long as they can keep making a profit off the crossfire.

Ron DeSantis flew back to Florida from his book tour last night not because of massive flooding. No he wanted to sign his new forced birth bill in the dead of the night surrounded with white people, celebrating stripping away more rights from women. He is a monster and a fool.

It's election day in many states. In Wisconsin the Supreme Court hangs in the balance between MAGA and common sense. Here in Missouri local elections for school board and city councils are running. Find out who your candidates are and vote. Moms for Liberty is spending money for their insanity.

As you watch the events unfold today in New York, Tennessee, and Florida remember that authoritarians don’t do the evil acts by themselves. They convince others to do it for them. The brown/black shirts loved it. The ones who happily abuse their fellow citizens for the power.
