It's very sad when a true patriot decides that he can better defend his home by finding a safer space to do so abroad. youtu.be/qKAdujuHvuQ?...

I know we all rightly like to take shots at the media for normalizing Trump’s behavior by failing to adequately convey how bizarre it is. But we have to give them a pass in advance this time. There are simply no words that can truly capture the stupidity and inanity of these tariffs.

Sen. Cory Booker breaks the record for the longest Senate floor speech, passing former Sen. Strom Thurmond's 24 hr, 18 min filibuster of the Civil Rights Act of 1957. As Sen. Booker neared the record, he invoked the late Rep. John Lewis and called on the Senate to get into "good trouble."

When everyone is either an ally or an enemy with no one in between, the result can only be all out war. How did “woke” become the defining label identifying who is on which side?

For over a century, the Christian Right has used the same line of attack to try to control public education. The only change has been what groups they attack to try to achieve their goals.

There’s no reason to have a Democratic Party if it won’t go to the mat to save the Department of Education. It’s a fundamental belief that children in America deserve better futures. It’s tremendously simple. You cannot continue funding a government that would close this.

NATO is already done. The United States of America is now an ally of the Russian Federation, and an adversary of European democracies.

The slew of near misses and air crashes since President Trump took office aren’t just “bad luck.” Musk & Trump fired hundreds of FAA staff that keep our airways safe. “Cutting costs” should never come at the expense of public safety.

Is empathy learned or taught? This is a complicated question. First, I think most of us are born with an inate sense of empathy. Otherwise, how would we be able to even bond with our parents?

This is why people like Sen. Murphy (D-CT) are saying that it's not about making it to the next elections. It's about making it through the next few months!

In Opinion “Let’s be clear: Shrinking the IRS will not lower your tax obligation,” a group of former IRS commissioners writes. “Aggressive reductions in the IRS’s resources will only render our government less effective and less efficient.”

Worth a read for a much-needed pep talk: "There will be more dark days ahead... but do not despair. Because we are ready for this fight... You are ready for this fight. So let’s get loud and let them know we’re still here and we ain’t going anywhere."

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are messing with your Medicare benefits. Democrats passed a law to finally let Medicare negotiate with Big Pharma for lower prices. Now Trump and Musk laid off the negotiators. That means higher drug costs for you. Nothing efficient about that.
