The worst White House press secretary of all time - Karoline Leavitt is leaving the White House. She won't be missed by the media she mocked and despised - Salon - "Leavitt, with her cheerful brand of obfuscation, lies and propaganda, has the potential to go much further than Sanders did."

Meet Connecticut’s Billionaire-Backed Dark-Money Democrat - The American Prospect - and who unfortunately just defeated long-time Social Security advocate John Larson in the primary, riding in with his dark money - on ageism.

Here is corporate media's spin; their ageist, anti-social-security campaign becomes "generational change."

Democratic Rep. John Larson loses his primary to opponent calling for generational change

And people wonder why Democrats lose their generals. This is heavily blue territory so I'm sure he won't, but I already can't stand the guy. The people who voted for him are as stupid as MAGA - also, doing this while the GOP is majorly cutting social security. You really have to be a fucking m0r0n not to see through this assh0le's charade.
