National Democrats are having a tough time.  They were blind-sided by President Trump’s 2016 victory over Hillary Clinton and haven’t yet managed to regain a sense of equilibrium.  They are still operating, to borrow a phrase from poker, on tilt.

Congress has long had an abysmal approval rating, and that has long included House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).  We’ve written here at LI about the poor approval rating carried by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).  In March, Kemberlee blogged that even in New York, President Trump’s approval rating is higher than Ocasio-Cortez’s.

It’s...

Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee announced on Friday they will begin a formal “impeachment investigation” against President Donald Trump due to former Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s testimony.

Chairman Jerry Nadler said the Democrats will ask for grand jury information related to Mueller’s investigation. From Fox News:

Nadler called the grand jury materials...

The public feud, which began last weekend, between Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (CA) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) continues to escalate.

Now Ocasio-Cortez told The Washington Post that Pelosi has consistently shown disrespect for “singling out” these “newly elected women of color.”

Nancy Pelosi downplayed the importance of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her far left cohorts after they voted ‘no’ on humanitarian aid for the border, once again highlighting the struggle among old school Democrats and the new left.

Thursday, Speaker Pelosi made a sudden about face on the border aid war and agreed to pass the Senate’s version of the bill, which has been hotly debated for weeks.

Democrats have spoken out about impeaching President Donald Trump, but Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has done her best to eliminate impeachment talk.

Maybe now we know why. Sources relayed to Politico that Pelosi told Democrats she would rather see Trump in Prison.

If you thought the Mueller Report would cause Democrats to move on from trying to impeach Trump, you were severely mistaken. The Democrat Impeachment Train merely switched tracks.

The first track, consuming two-and-one-half years, was Russia collusion. The Mueller report did derail that impeachment track, by finding no conspiracy with or coordination...

I’m so old I remember when House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was incensed by the very idea of President Trump’s Border Emergency Declaration.

There has been a lot of anger at Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s statement about the Holocaust.

Unfortunately, much of it has focused on her use of the term “calming feeling,” which has enabled defenders to claim the term was taken out of context. But those defenders ignore the rest of the context, which...

There is no constitutional crisis regarding the House Intelligence Committee’s unsuccessful attempt to get the unredacted Mueller report, including secret grand jury information, and the documents underlying the investigation.

Disregard what Jerrold Nadler says about there being a constitutional crisis.

Okay, it’s hard to think of a more ridiculous argument than this, yet the Democrats have concocted it for public consumption.

Their point goes something like this:  Republicans are forcing them to pursue impeachment, against their (the Dems’) better judgment, and . . . um, it’s not good.  Unless it is.  (But...

Democrats still have not accepted their 2016 loss to Donald Trump. Nor have they accepted the results of the two year investigation they demanded. Yet they’re deeply worried about whether or not Trump will accept the results of the 2020 election.

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) just can’t figure out how to get her stalled 2020 presidential campaign off the ground.  She’s struggling to raise money, is polling (a distant) third . . . in Massachusetts, and she’s become increasingly desperate for any attention at all.

The left continues to eat its own as Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi tries to squash the rebellion within the Democrat party.

Progressive activist and filmmaker Michael Moore has added to the rebellion after he lashed out at Pelosi when she dismissed those representatives who try to push...

We all know Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi wants control back of her party since Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY) and Ilhan Omar (MN) have shown they have no problem rebelling against the establishment.

Pelosi decided to splash them and others with a dose of reality when it comes to impeaching President...
