The department of homeland security released its list of sanctuary cities. I am so proud to see Atlanta on that list. If they thought that a city appearing on this list is something to be ashamed of, well, they’re wrong. Well done ATL! We got this. www.dhs.gov/sanctuary-ju...

According to the world bank, there are about 648 million people in the world who live on less than $2.15 per day. That’s a real crisis. Not Canada or the Panama Canal.

The next few years are going to be tough, but just remember what Anne Herbert said: "Libraries will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no libraries." The best time to join your local library is right now - if you have not already done so!

What would change if the report on Matt Gaetz was released? We already know (or strongly suspect) what’s in it. Will Congress be strong enough to not confirm his nomination?

After rereading V For Vendetta I think V was a bit restrained. Maybe it was just discipline and self control on his part.
