Not sure I want to file taxes this year. Thoughts?

Things like this renew my faith in humanity, when it is being tested daily.

Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.

I love how she uses her little finger to keep place as she doggedly reads the words. With a little work on her vocabulary (pronounced vo- CA-bu-la-ry)maybe she can graduate to second grade next year. www.facebook.com/reel/1511145...

I don't know how you read this as a parent without feeling overcome with sorrow and rage. These evil people have made trans children their political punching bag and it's killing them.

New Jersey. They are not putting up with it.

In 1985, Tony Schwartz, ghostwriter for "Art of the Deal," got half of the $500,000 advance and half of all royalties, unheard of in publishing. Schwartz made millions, Trump lost millions.
