A faction of MAGA is currently going after a Medal of Honor recipient for his political beliefs.
I’m not even mad about it, just profoundly disappointed. Some things used to transcend politics, but now? Nothing is sacred.
It’s gross, and we have to be better than this.

This is truly insane. We are witnessing one of the most corrupt cover-up schemes in history—and it's all playing out in plain view.

Or we can take climate change seriously. Which is better than lazy, empty gestures. Just spit balling.

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

Kristi Noem, our homeland security secretary, does not know a literally 1000-year-old core legal principle. Arguably the first, foundational legal principle of a free society.
HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?
NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country
HASSAN: That's incorrect

Great bipartisan legislation idea for the new congress:
Pass universal free breakfast and lunch in public schools.
It would cost less than one percent of what the federal government spends on education.
No hungry kids. No stigma. Higher morale. Better grades.
It's a no-brainer.
