Excerpt:

You probably won’t hear me say this much, but kudos to Sen. Chuck Grassley for voting to hold Karl Rove and Josh Bolten in contempt of Congress for failing to comply with subpoenas investigating the fired US Attorneys probe. It proves that every once in a while Grassley can be a respectable Republican.

Excerpt:

Iowans, I need your help.
This morning, the US Senate rejected the Dodd-Leahy-Specter Amendment which would have restored habeas corpus by a vote of 56-43, four votes short of the 60 votes needed to overcome a potential Republican filibuster.
You can see the full roll call of the vote here.
I need you to call into Sen. Grassley’s […]

Excerpt:

Sen. Chris Dodd of Connecticut gave what many consider to be a barn-burner of a speech on Sunday at the 30th Annual Harkin Steak Fry, and from my seat close to the stage on the press riser I’d have to agree. One of the most riveting moments was when Sen. Dodd called for the […]

Tracy Russo posted over at Bleeding Heartland last night with the video of Sen. John Edwards two-minute response to President Bush’s address to the nation last night. Go watch the video — it is the kind of thing all of the candidates should be doing, if they can afford it. Buying two minutes […]

President Bush hit a new low in his approval rating in the latest Newsweek poll — 26%!
Somebody get that guy a pony.
Oh, and the Iraq war situation and its handling only gets a 23% approval, with a 73% disapproval rating. I wonder just how much it is going to hurt to be a […]

Excerpt:

Dar Danielson of Radio Iowa brings the disappointing news that Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin is likely going to vote to confirm Jim Nussle as the next Director of the Office and Management and Budget.
I can clearly see how playing politics with his confirmation probably isn’t the best political strategy, but I was really hoping we’d […]

Excerpt:

Currently, the Government Services Administration (specifically their administrator) is under investigation by Congress for alleged acts of pure partisanship in an agency of the federal government that is supposed to be entirely nonpartisan — basically violations of the Hatch Act. TPM Muckraker and Speaker Pelosi’s blog “The Gavel” have more on the investigations, but […]

Excerpt:

The US Attorney controversy surrounding Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, the Department of Justice, and the Bush Administration will undoubtedly get more interesting as time goes on. Sen. Charles Grassley can’t be the only Republican out there who is becoming frustrated by this president’s executive power grab and the more that’s revealed, the more we […]

Excerpt:

There is a lot of intrigue and there are a lot of details surround the dismissal of eight US Attorneys by the Justice Department and Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. And it seems like there is a lot of detail missing as well, which is what led to the DOJ releasing thousands of pages of […]

Excerpt:

This morning, on a vote of 218-212, the US House passed the Iraq Accountability Act, which sits a pullout date for troops in Iraq by August of 2008 at the latest. It also approves more funding for the war, which has been a major point of contention among those members of the Progressive and […]
