Description: Rep. Pelosi opens an impeachment inquiry into the president, Donald Trump, who sought the assistance of Ukraine and other countries in gathering dirt on his political opponent, Joe Biden. What does this mean for the state of the country and democracy, considering the intense partisan divide in our times? Will republicans finally put country before party? Or is power to strong of a drug to deny? Will impeachment help or harm Trump's chance at re-election?

On February 1, 2019 - On the first day of Black History Month, Virginian Democrats were forced to address a scathing scandal. The Virginian Plot revealed that Governor Ralph Northam (D) once dressed in blackface or Klansman while in medical school (1984). Instead of accepting responsibility and immediately resigning, Northam has buckled down - because that's what men do. Republicans, of course, expressed outrage.

The Democratic primary field is getting into formation and things are looking interesting, especially for progressives; Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) is set to officially announce her candidacy for president. My feelings are dicey, but one thing I remain firm is Gabbard's right to religious freedom and her personal beliefs on queer Americans; But the buck stops there in my defense of Rep. Gabbard. Her foreign policy stances are all over the place, from isolationist to interventionist.  That's troubling for me.
