Plus, there’s a lots of family friendly trails to observe pika. DM me if you have any questions www.oregonzoo.org/wildlife/cas...

Tennessee people, vote for this lady this week. She's cool and she puts the country perilously close to having a single check and/or balance.

Hundreds of Starbucks baristas and labor organizers blockaded Starbucks' largest distribution center in York, Pennsylvania, halting distribution of syrups, coffee beans, and other supplies to the entire northeast.

This escalation is part of @sbworkersunited.org's ongoing strike.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

I just got my hair cut by a woman who has us all beat. She owns the shop but she also works two hours a week bussing at a fancy hotel restaurant so she can get employee deals at fancy hotels.

And two days a week she slings bags for Delta so she can fly wherever she wants for free.

Here are 18 Portland-area coffee shops and restaurants that have pledged to feed people who lose SNAP benefits

If given the chance, I'd lose my legs all over again to serve in our great military.

The leader of your party is a five-time draft dodger who has fired more Veterans than any other president in our history.

Square that circle then tell me who really hates our military.
