I thought the lowest day for President Deranged since 2016 was last week, calling 90,000 Minnesota Somalis “garbage” adding “we don’t want them here”, 90% of whom are citizens.
Today was worse, making a Hollywood icon’s tragic murder by his son all about himself, President Deranged.

13 years – and yet every year since Sandy Hook, more parents join the growing cohort of families who grieve losing their child to a school shooting.
We can end this. Thoughts and prayers aren’t enough. The time for policy and action has been overdue for years.

Even after 13 years, the searing pain & grief remains real. At the Sandy Hook firehouse on that December 14, I saw loved ones learn that their 20 beautiful children & 6 great educators would never be coming home. We must honor them with action.

Those tree hugging hippies in Hungary now lead the world in the share of electricity generated from solar with almost 25% of their electricity coming from solar in 2024.
A remarkable leap from just 7% five years ago.
