Formerly feral cats that we trapped, neutered and chipped. They’re semi-indoor cats now. They go to the “office” during the day and stay inside at night away from the foxes and raccoons. Kenny is the orange tabby, Percy is the tuxedo.

How Phillies fans feel about Kyle Schwarber, J.T. Realmuto, the offseason and more
It's a time of uncertainty, and that sentiment is seemingly reflected in how fans feel about the club's direction. See our survey results.

Jacob Frey: "If we are now at the point where the federal govt is deploying agents on legal American citizens with a goal of uprooting people who have formed lives here, have families here, started businesses here, definitively made Minneapolis a better place, everybody should be speaking out."

Some in the Democratic Party want to you think we must choose between social justice and economic populism.
Rubbish.
The only path forward is embracing both.

The President doesn't want you standing up and speaking out against him, so he's coming after me to intimidate all of us.
But I won't back down — and neither should you.

You cannot have a functioning economy when so few people at the top hold so much of the nation’s wealth. It’s not sustainable.

"The Attorney General of the United States has set a new low for this committee," Whitehouse said.
Shouldn't doing what Pam Bondi is accusing James Comey of doing be a scandal that would make her have to resign? In her case it's is easily proven that she lied to the committee.

Past is prologue.
In 1933, during the Great Depression, a group of wealthy businessmen tried to overthrow the US government and install a fascist dictator to protect their own interests.
And everything that led to it feels way too familiar right now.
This is not a history lesson, it’s a warning.
