Walz: "It's so obscene that he would put a mock classroom -- we all know he's never been in one. He wouldn't last for a minute. He's surrounded by people who know nothing about education. They want to make this about bureaucracy and cutting. This is about children."

AOC: What they like to call as radical, I believe is common sense.

I believe that when a person gets sick, they shouldn’t go bankrupt in the wealthiest country in the history of the world. Common sense

I believe that a minimum wage should cover the minimum cost to live. Common sense...

Hey, Bluesky Canadians.

The people who run Shopify are DOGE supporters.

Maybe let’s not spend any money with any company selling their wares on Shopify.

It would be nice (Canadian) to let the company know why you’re not buying their goods, so they have an opportunity to do something different.

These are the principles, set out by the great Judge Simon Rifkind, that once governed Paul Weiss.

They should take his name out of the firm’s name out of respect for his memory.

His assault on the judiciary continues.

SCOTUS gave him a whiff of absolute power last year.

He wants it all.

No checks. No balances.

I've always wanted a car with a roof that flies off for no reason, but doors that don't come off while you're burning alive inside it. My dreams have come true.

I agree wholeheartedly with the sentiment being expressed by citizens and governments around the world to the effect no one should be traveling to the United States at this time.

Under our current government, we are a danger to ourselves and everyone else, and should be avoided.

Tariffs have thrown the auto industry into disarray, and workers on the Iron Range are paying the price.

I’ve been in touch with the union to make sure that laid-off workers are getting connected to the resources they need.
