Considering this reality why does every single Democratic official have to issue a disclaimer that we really do need to cut the federal government but it's just not being done the right way. We don't.

This hits hard… “Then she was fired by a Fox News weekend host.” You know what else hits hard? The fact that voters thought it was a good idea to hire a reality show host/bankrupt businessman as President of the United States.

It's always been the case that "buying" an ebook from amazon was only actually a loan they could rescind at any point, but lately Amazon have gone harder on this, and it is 100% so that they can wipe banned books from your libraries without your consent. Buy direct from authors. Get your files.

On Feb. 14th I try always to give honor to one of the greatest contributors to American democracy in our nation’s history, Frederick Douglass. Born into slavery, Douglass never knew his actual birthdate, and adopted Feb. 14th as the day. His penetrating insights about our country inspire me daily.

Farmer installs solar power under contract with USDA. Trump freezes funding, violating the contract and leaving the farmer without resources to pay the bills. It’s illegal and it’s wrong. Tell Congress to stop the funding freeze. www.farmprogress.com/farm-policy/...

my thoughts on the Chiefs getting wiped out: at the end of No Country for Old Men, Anton Chigurh, the psychopathic antagonist who was to that point less a man than a symbol of inevitability itself, is hit by another car while driving. Even fate’s avatars are not free from its whims.

The malice is what we're mostly paying attention to, because the incompetence serves that end. But the incompetence is important in and of itself, because every minute it takes us to repel the malice, the incompetence accomplishes more lasting damage.
