I’m waiting for the major news organizations to start introducing statements from this administration by playing the opening music from “Looney Tunes”. That just seems appropriate.

California is facing a crisis of connection among young men, with rising suicide rates and deepening isolation.

So today, I'm issuing a challenge: for men to step up and volunteer as mentors, coaches, and tutors, and build a California for young men to grow and thrive.

New Mexico's economy is a fraction of the size of New York City's.

If they can enact universal childcare — and relieve working families of a crushing cost burden — surely we can too.

It's just a question of political will.
New Mexico will be the first state to make child care free
The program, which is expected to save families $12,000 per child annually, is available to all residents regardless of income.

ICYMI — After years of pretending she would never stop fighting to get the Epstein files release, @MarshaBlackburn just voted not to release them.

Truly pathetic.

Kind of ironic that the sides of the tent he was speaking under had the words “Prove me wrong. Prove me wrong.”

It would appear that he has, in fact, lost the gun control debate.

As a bookish kid, I admired the Supreme Court for having the character to unanimously come out against segregation in the 1950s, when no other branch of our government would have had that courage.

So it saddens me to see it lose its way and endorse judging people for the color of their skin today.
