Be kind to everyone. We have no idea what someone's life has been like. Semi-retired, live in Chicago. Enjoy walks along the lake and spotting birds like hawks, piping plovers, or arctic snow owls. Enjoy singing and dancing, like no one is watching.

She was 8 years old and recorded as lodging with her mother at the Salvation Army Shelter in Hanbury St.

Notice that the parts of Trump's economic program that help working and middle class Americans — DOGE checks, tariff rebates, and warrior dividends — are popular, progressive, and non-existent. Tax cuts for the rich are unpopular, regressive and very very real.

Tom Paine published that pamphlet 250 years ago this January. I published an essay about it TODAY, in the New York Times. Common Sense remains relevant as ever.
