William Barr on the DOJ’s attempt to destroy the ACA and leave 20 million Americans without health care

This, however, is not the case with Donald Trump’s Department of Justice, which is actively engaged in […]

The Barr memo isn’t the Mueller report

By Mark | March 26, 2019

I wanted to hold off on posting anything about the Mueller report until we actually had it in front of us. It’s looking now as though that may be several weeks away, in spite of the fact that members of the House voted unanimously to make it public. It would appear as though the White […]
