We don’t have massive federal debt because of Social Security & Medicare.

We don’t have massive federal debt because of liberal policies.

We have massive federal debt because we've been subsidizing the rich for far too long.

Why We All Should be Celebrating Mamdani's Win
And why the attacks on him actually reveal the deep flaws of his critics...

I'm not a programming guy but MSNBC and CNN should be airing this Cory Booker thing in the same way you take over programming if there's a no-hitter or a basketball player with 60 points in three quarters. It's a physical feat! Cut in for this kind of thing. Costs nothing, gooses ratings, good TV.

This is not at all normal.

And the greatest collective and individual sin of those of us witnessing it all, would be to let it become normal.

So, sustain your anger, hold on to your soul, and refuse to grow comfortable with this madness.

Canada is ready. We will fight.
I thank the Prime Minister for his powerful statement in response to the thuggish attacks by Trump.
We are unified as a nation. Our American cousins are divided.
We will kick at the darkness until it bleeds daylight.

If enough time passes, an otherwise healthy person can start to get used to sickness.

They can slowly begin to convince themselves that almost any horrifying, toxic, painful, twisted reality is acceptable.

My eyes opened and my mind quickly began to assemble the first few seconds of my day when a terrible interruption broke in and I remembered:
