WHAT DOES THE WORLD NEED RIGHT NOW?
It’s a great question, right?
What would your answer be - in just one word?
Me? I’m torn between “Empathy” and “Tolerance”.
But given just one word, I’ll go with “Empathy”.
You?

Historians will look back in bafflement not at the greed of the elite, but at the fervent loyalty of those they exploited.
The ultimate con isn't breaking the law; it's convincing people the poison is the cure.

Yes, a handful of senators capitulated.
But this isn't the time for "whatever will be."
This is the time to get LOUDER.
These challenges demand the strongest resolve. Let the anger galvanize, not paralyze.
Find your resolve and find your next step. Do not quit.

The Supreme Court on Friday night paused a federal judge’s order that the Trump administration must pay full SNAP benefits to 42 million Americans for November by the end of the day.
The Trump administration is doing everything possible not to pay SNAP benefits to the most vulnerable among us.

Most people don’t see themselves as clearly as others do.
Even when the pieces finally fit, the mind can still whisper that something’s missing.
That’s the trick of self-doubt — it makes progress look like imperfection.
Don’t believe the mirror.
You’ve come further than it can see.

After all, a President must have a vision and priorities, right? So let's cut back on healthcare and cancer research and instead construct a big, beautiful, golden ballroom, right?

There are no words.
Maybe that's why we're not hearing any words from anyone in the Senate or the House as we watch workers demolish portions of the East Wing to make room for Trump's grand ballroom at the White House.
Will he soon be signing and selling pieces of the debris on a website?

Trump was quoted in July as saying, "It (his ballroom) won't interfere with the current building. It'll be near it but not touching it — and pays total respect to the existing building, which I'm the biggest fan of."
Obviously, the plans have changed. Or he simply lied. Again.

The Republicans hold the House, Senate and White House. Yet the Democrats are being pretty much equally blamed for the shutdown.
This is certainly not an encouraging sign for the Democratic Party narrative.
Maybe it's a sign people are fed up with all politicians, regardless of party.

See if you nod, too.

237 years ago, Franklin gave us a Republic with a solemn warning.
With every norm broken, every truth questioned, and every institution weaponized, the solemn answer to Franklin's challenge grows clearer: we are failing to keep the Republic.

We keep sending lawmakers back to DC whose main skill is "grandstanding," not "governing."
A shutdown is proof they prefer pouring over the political spectacle instead of passing a budget.
When you vote for a drama queen, don't be shocked by the show.
We own this, too.
