I am no constitutional scholar, but I can't help but feel that "the President gets to dictate what every university can teach and what every television station should broadcast" is closer to what the founding fathers were worried about when it comes to free speech than trigger warnings on syllabi.

Democrats meeting with political detainees is an extremely positive trend and should be encouraged and celebrated
When I met with Mohsen Mahdawi today, we spoke about how appreciative he is to have the support of so many people in Vermont.
He said one of the reasons he wanted to become a citizen was because of his belief in American democracy.
He hopes that justice will prevail in his case.

Today House Republicans, cheered on by the richest person on Earth, passed a budget framework that will cut support for the poorest people in our country.
All while cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy, and massively increasing the deficit.
