Here for Round Two. Sigh. Owned by two dogs. Slow-paced chaos abounds in small-town NC. With age comes wisdom. A smile always helps.

There isn’t much for our Supreme Court to hear, the Constitution is already clear. And just to be absolutely clear: the Supreme Court does not have the power to overrule or rewrite our Constitution.

Waking up to good election news. All over the US!
This line from Mamdani's compelling victory speech should be amplified:
"To get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us."
The change is beginning! Let's keep it going.

Our democracy is not self-executing. It depends on us all as citizens, regardless of our political affiliations, to stand up and fight for the core values that have made this country the envy of the world.

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

One week ago, thousands of New Yorkers tried something new.
They heard about it last minute. They didn’t know where it would take them or who they would meet. It was free, earnest, even educational.
It was the #ZcavengerHunt and it was a thing of beauty.

Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond.
Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around.

Maybe we shouldn’t let someone who doesn’t believe in germs and who thinks it’s okay to eat roadkill and swim in contaminated ponds be in charge of our national food safety.
A federal-state partnership that monitors for foodborne illnesses quietly scaled back its operations nearly two months ago.
As of July 1, the critical surveillance program is monitoring for only two pathogens instead of the usual eight, a spokesperson for the CDC says.

Republicans complain about Texas Democrats “fleeing”—yet just days ago, they themselves fled D.C. to avoid voting on the Epstein files.
Why? To protect a convicted felon sitting in the Oval Office.
One side dodges accountability.
