Rand Paul and Another Libertarian Fizzle

February 3, 2016 By steven-j-gulitti 3 Comments

If Rand Paul had ever had the juice behind his presidential bid that Donald Trump had and then failed to perform I'd label his departure from the 2016 race a flameout. However in this case, as in many libertarian efforts in the past, it's … [Read more...]

For Conservatives, The Benghazi Hearings Could Become One More Disaster In a Year of Disasters

October 26, 2015 By steven-j-gulitti Leave a Comment

I'm not even remotely a fan of the Clinton's, but with regard to how things are shaping up of late, one thing seems to be certain, 2015 has already been a bad year for America's conservatives and the Benghazi Hearings could just become the … [Read more...]

Cindy Friedman@CindyFriedmanMA

Earlier, I spoke at the #MACOVIDOversight hearing and voiced my concerns & the concerns of my colleagues and constituents. I then asked @MassGovernor what I believe was a straightforward question...and received a not-so-straightforward response.

In 2014, I was a clerk for the ME legislature's enviro committee and I'm flabbergasted by the arguments by progressive Reps (many of whom I respect) against making committee votes and testimony public. /1 #mapoli @act_on_mass @byChrisVan @statehousenews

Act on Mass@act_on_mass

36 reps voted in favor of transparency today, with 122 reps opposed. Roll call below:
