Pretty sad times we live in when it’s news that the government has agreed to follow a court order.

I get that rules about manners are classist and stodgy but if you are wearing a baseball cap in a nice restaurant, you’re a dope.

Similar to the reason why yelling “fire” in a crowded theater is not, in fact, protected as free speech.
Question: But the president’s statements that he believed the election was rife with fraud—those are statements protected by the First Amendment, correct?
Smith: Absolutely not. If they are made to target a lawful government function and are made with knowing falsity, then no, they are not.

This is called "freedom" and it's pissing off the new Commissars who believe that artists must perform at the State's command
Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.

At one point or another, we're all going to need to see a doctor.
But our health care system remains unaffordable, inaccessible, and deeply dysfunctional. It is unacceptable.
That’s why a strong majority of Americans agree: We need Medicare for All.

Why do the people of Pinellas County elect such a loser?
She doesn’t even try to hide that she’s a spokesperson for Putin serving in the US Congress. Post after post, day after day, echoing Russian propaganda. Truly sad that people in Pinellas County have chosen this as their representation.

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

So Senate Democrats are going to trust these Republicans’ “promise” they’ll vote on healthcare subsidies in the future after they’ve voted to end the shutdown? Really?

This is ugly stuff.
In Chicago, a woman was driving to get coffee when a DHS vehicle fleeing an angry crowd crashed into her car. Armed agents jumped out of the vehicle, yanked her door open, pulled her by the legs out of her car at gunpoint, held her incommunicado for hours, then released her with no charges.

Want to get Americans off SNAP?
Well, if the minimum wage had kept up with inflation and productivity, it would be $26 an hour. That would remove 13 million workers from food stamps overnight.
Start there.
