the Praeneste Fibula (if authentic, wh it probably is) bears one of the oldest Latin attestations, 7th cent. BC:

Manios mēd fhe fhakēd Numasioi
"Manius made me for Numerio"

the verb <fhe fhakēd> (=Latin fēcit) shows reduplication of the 1st syllable of faciō "make"

I helped strike language from a key spending bill that would’ve shielded Bayer from legal accountability.

But the fight is far from over. SCOTUS must now weigh in.

This isn't about politics. It's about right and wrong.

America really does have a five‑alarm fire in the White House: a president who openly says the only authority that can stop him is “my own morality. My own mind,” while standing on a record of criminal convictions, financial scams, and armed resource grabs abroad

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down

Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace

Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs

Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

"To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness."
