If you all bought "Built To Last" from Amazon it would lead to more sales because Amazon further promotes fast-selling books. But I am way more comfortable with you ordering it at your local bookshop or using Bookshop.org which also supports your local bookshops. Communities matter.

There’s a lot of things Fetterman has done and said that I haven’t entirely loved. Calling for American military involvement in Iran? You gotta go.

Weak government is easy to control. But government gets legitimacy from the people. Do not give them that. Question. Challenge. Resist. Every step of the way.

It is extraordinarily weird watching him conveying a single, cohesive thought for more than five seconds here. It really does show you that, while his heart as always been several shades deeper than vantablack, there's something medically wrong with his brain at this point.

C-SPAN caller to Tapper: "When are you going to examine what's going on with Trump? ... this president has been pure chaos, which indicates to me that there is something wrong with him.

WE HAVE QUESTIONS… This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they? ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants. How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

No-one takes the decision to flee their home from persecution, with little more than the clothes on their back, unless their life depends on it. That’s why our approach to refugees must be rooted in compassion, empathy and humanity. Not division, prejudice or scaremongering.
