Depending on What Denominator is Used, Either 62% or 42% of the Federal Budget Goes to the Military Liberal economists and like Dean Baker don't often talk about the vast spending by the US on the military, which is the real reason this country doesn't have national health care, modern trains and good roads and first rate schools, etc., writes TCBH! journalist Dave Lindorff. Two thirds of your tax dollars go to the Pentagon and it's time people learned that!

CNN's Sanders Hit Piece Doesn't Pass the Smell Test Elizabeth Warren is in hot water because of a last minute attack on Bernie Sanders started by a leak by her staff claiming he had told her in a private meeting of the two on Dec. 12, 2018 that "a woman can't win the presidency." Sanders has sharply denied the claim, which comes out less than two days ahead of the last debate before the Iowa Caucus and New Hampshire primary.

Hang On to Your Wallet! The Government is About to Rescue Us The "rescue" of Wall Street from itself is not about helping us, it's about helping them, and we're paying. The real answer is to chop them all--banks, investment banks and insurance companies--back down to size so they can fail and hurt nobody but themselves and their investors.

Wall Street is fertile ground for a movement: Liberals and Liberation on a Weekend of Climate Action in New York The huge march in New York Sunday calling for climate action was big on numbers but tame on message.

Seriously America, writes TCBH! Dave Lindorff, is this the best we can do? Didn't we already try having a president with alzheimers?

Does Trump ever check his wife's Facebook page? If Her Page is Being Moderated, She's Sending Definitely Pissed Off Melania Trump's official government facebook page, which almost certainly is carefully monitored since she's privy to national security secrets as a presidential spouse, is full of vicious criticisms of President Trump.

Keeping POTUS busy is a good idea: Let's Just Let Trump Spend the Whole War Department Budget on Building Walls Let's not stop with Trump spending $2.6 billion of Pentagon funds on his longed-for wall on the Mexican border. Let's give whom the entire military budget and let him spend his time building a wall around the whole darn country! writes TCBH! jourrnalist Dave Lindorff. It will be much better than spending the funds on war and killing.

A Tale of Two Terror Attacks When terrorists attacked the US, the US immediately launched two wars, both aimed at the wrong targets. It never conducted a transparent investigation into the attacks. Yet India is being urged by the US not to act hastily, and to conduct a "transparent" investigation into its most recent terror attack. Why the difference?

Cops prove they aren't really needed: NY's Mayor Should Fire All Protesting Cops and Put Savings to Better Use Protesting NY cops, refusing to ticket or arrest people for minor crimes, have not caused a wave of big crimes, showing their own uselessness. If they were fired now for insubordination, as they should be, it would free up hundreds of millions of dollars for better use, writes TCBH! journalist Dave Lindorff

The hail-mary answer to a Trump presidency: Progressives Still Have a Trump Card to Play against Trumpian Autocracy There's one branch of the federal government not under Trump's and Republicans' control: the Supreme Court. If the four liberals hang tough and stay healthy, it's possible the right side of the bench could lose a member first, making it a 4-3 court, writes TCBH! journalist Dave Lindorff. Then Dems in the Senate simply have to refuse all Trump nominees
