2021’s Senator Tom Cotton must be really upset with 2020 Senator Tom Cotton.
For days now, the Republican from Arkansas has been whining to anyone who will listen about “how crazy some of the Democratic ideas” made it into the Covid-19 relief package. Specifically, Cotton has taken issue with the possibility that some prisoners, who’ve recently filed taxes, might actually receive a check.
But what Cotton is leaving out in his complaint is his utter hypocrisy. The senator didn’t just vote for stimulus checks for prisoners once, he did...

New York Times staffers bitterly complained on social media today after the newspaper’s opinion section ran a column from Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton that called on President Donald Trump to “Send in the troops.”
Cotton, a notoriously pro-Trump supporter, asked the President to mobilize the military to quell civil unrest in many major Us cities. The column was titled Tom Cotton: Send in the Troops.
While Los Angeles and Washington, DC, among other cities, have brought in the National Guard, there are some holdouts resisting troop insertion, including New York City.
Many NY Times staffers began tweeting a similar message in response to Cotton’s column alongside an image of the headline (see below): Running this puts Black @NYTimes staff in danger.:
The Times staffers were a mix of editorial and production, including restaurant critics, graphics producers, culture reporters, tech writers and opinion writer Roxane Gay.

The coronavirus crisis presents a challenge for Sunday morning news shows — not only in terms of production during a time of social distancing, but in trying to set the stage for the coming week in what is a fast-moving, unprecedented national emergency. The staff of Face the Nation, which on Sunday will feature guests including Dr. Anthony Fauci, Dr. Scott Gottlieb and Gary Cohn, has been working remotely this past week, save for Sunday at the show’s Washington studio. The production staff will be there, but no guests will be in-studio and instead will be interviewed remotely. The CBS staple first raised questions about the threat of the coronavirus on its Jan. 26 broadcast, when moderator Margaret Brennan asked Sen. Tom Cotton (R-ar) about it. “We need to get ahead of this problem,” Cotton told her. “And given China’s record of dishonesty when it comes to these public health emergencies,...

President Trump has found himself in a vexing situation as he struggles to grapple with coronavirus, which is now spreading rapidly throughout the United States. If this were a normal crisis, he would stress to Americans that everything is fine, his administration is handling it better than any other administration could have ever dreamed, and everyone should proceed to shower him with praise.
But unlike hurricanes, trade disputes, or threats of nuclear annihilation from murderous dictators, coronavirus is in the United States right now, it’s getting worse, and the...

You’ve just suffered a major defeat, and now you’re surrounded. The enemy is gearing up for a charge. Your leaders are readying the surrender flags. Things are looking grim. So what do you do? Well, we decided to write a Google Doc.
In December 2016, our Google Doc in was called “Indivisible: A Practical Guide to Resisting the Trump Agenda.” As two former congressional staffers, we thought we might be able to help demystify congress a bit and tell people how they could use their own constituent power to fight back against Trumpism.

The Capitol Hill Club sits kiddy-corner from Cannon House Office building in downtown Washington, D.C.

The Brett Kavanaugh Supreme Court battle has turned into one of the most contentious nominations in our nation’s history. President Trump’s nominee has been accused of past sexual assaults and of being dishonest before the Senate.
Despite testimony by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, Kavanaugh’s nomination cleared the Senate Judiciary Committee on a party-line vote on September 28th. Following an unaccountably incomplete investigation by the FBI, Kavanaugh’s nomination cleared a key procedural hurdle, setting up a final vote this weekend.

Ann Coulter is warning President Trump that he cannot count on her support in 2020 just yet, telling TheWrap that she wants to see more progress on her immigration priorities before she commits to him for a second term in the White House.
“If the election were today, I’d vote for Trump solely because of his attacks on the press,” she said. “But a lot can happen in two years. Who knows?”
In fact, the conservative firebrand floated the names of some other Republicans who might win her support over Trump. “I bet we could trust Tom Cotton or David Perdue to build the wall,” she said, mentioning U.S. senators from Arkansas and Georgia, respectively. “Even the great [Kansas Secretary of State and gubernatorial candidate] Kris Kobach might be rested and ready!”

On Wednesday, Feb. 14, a 19-year-old gunman walked onto the campus of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, armed with what police say was a military-style semi-automatic rifle and countless magazines — and killed at least 17 people. He was a troubled man who had shown repeated signs of being unstable and yet was able to legally obtain a semi-automatic rifle capaable of causing unimaginable carnage.
Florida Gov. Rick Scott called the attack “pure evil” and vowed to have a real conversation about sensible gun legislation, saying, “The violence has to stop. We cannot lose another child in this country to gun violence in a school.

U.S. senators have been holding town hall meetings in their home states this week, and some have been facing very pointed questions from their constituents.

Tom Cotton's (R-ar) sick scorecard.
