Why don't we write it down in an agreement where I say something that was already true 6 weeks ago."

You know what Biden didn’t do? Fall asleep at the Pope’s funeral. He was there. Wide awake. Who’s the doddering old man again?

Online, the company touted its use of “hidden food bags” — drugs concealed in shipments labeled as food. Its ads promised “strong safety delivery” with “packaging made to measure” to “guarantee” that illicit chemicals would elude border inspections.

In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “terrorist,” who was “sent to the right place.” This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent. He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.

Yes, the stock market may be tanking and our national security apparatus has never been more vulnerable and we're on the verge of both economic collapse and war, but it was all worth it to keep pronouns out of email signatures.

What do you call humans being kidnapped and sent to another country to be imprisoned in shackles and forced to perform intense physical labor while living in horrid conditions under the threat of daily physical violence and rape? Open a history book. You can do it. I believe in you.

Sanders: Our life expectancy is about four years less than in other wealthy countries. If you’re working class in America, you live 7-8 years shorter than people who are wealthy. Now, why is that? The answer is not just healthcare. But it is the day-to-day stress that working people live under.
