The Gilded Age collapsed under its own corruption. A backlash is building, but ending this administration is not enough. We need a vision for the future, not a return to some imagined past, but a future that builds prosperity, safety, and hope for all of us, not just the people in the ballroom.

Chicagoans are rightly furious about what ICE is doing here as it tries to sow chaos in this otherwise peaceful city. Now we also have a flurry of unwarranted tear gassing incidents across the city that sure look like a violation of a federal court order.

A man who worships himself will eventually demand a temple.
When democracy grows weak, a vain man will always try to crown himself.
The next President should pledge to dismantle this monument to vanity and turn the White House into what it ought to be, a home for a servant of the people.

Is that armed man on your aisle the next mass shooter or someone just stocking up for the cookout?
How dangerous is this?
Publix bans open carry at its own headquarters, where the executives who made this decision go to work.

Trump is bailing out Argentina with $40 billion while leaving American farmers twisting in the wind. At this point, it’s obvious he doesn’t want them to succeed.
I’m calling it now: this is going to turn into a land grab for pennies on the dollar.
