We need the next Democratic presidential candidate to be a leader who challenges the system.

Single-payer health care would not be a drain on our society. Taking care of children, the elderly, and the sick is the reason people formed societies in the first place.

So, Trump will now be “exonerated” by the testimony of a convicted child trafficker who will say anything necessary to get a pardon.

And, before this is over, MAGAs will be convinced God has special plans for Ghislaine Maxwell and will start naming their kids after her.

Get a grip, MAGA.

The NFL chose Bad Bunny for the halftime show because he is a massive star right now. He's far more relevant and has much wider appeal than Kid Rock and Lee Greenwood.

Attn. activists: You must start organizing around how society handles the consequences of artificial intelligence. We cannot sit back and trust billionaires with #AI technology.

Looking after my son’s cat while he’s traveling. We’re keeping her separated from our cat, for now.

Hey, @dailybeanspod.com

Not only are state and local governments not obligated to enforce federal law, but not enforcing federal law at the state and local level is kind of a tradition.

A good example: States and local governments largely refused to enforce the Volstead Act.

Media friends:
There is a story in exploring the positive changes in police training and procedures under the leadership of Supt. Larry Snelling in Chicago.

I don’t think the country fully appreciates what Snelling has already accomplished and his long-term goals.

Peter Thiel believes his own bullshit. That makes him dangerous and pathetic at the same time.
Trump ally and tech billionaire Peter Thiel brings Antichrist warning to Paris
“I heard more about the Antichrist during those 45 minutes than during the rest of my life,” one attendee tells POLITICO.

Stephen Miller is heading to the part of his career when he supports himself by making paid speeches at neo-fascist events and autographing photos of himself at gun shows.

In the end, Trump will throw the entire MAGA movement under the bus. He's obviously becoming weary of the whole strongman routine, which causes him to be hated and ridiculed around the world.

Trump, above all, wants to be admired. Plus, I’m pretty sure he's worried about getting into heaven.

I got used to the Trump Administration going after the First Amendment and the Fourth through Eighth Amendments, along with the 14th.

But I didn't expect Team Trump to attack the Second Amendment so soon. That seemed more like a third-year project, ya know?
