Mike Johnson has the House adjourned for 42 days, Trump just came back from a week in Asia, remodeled a WH bathroom and flew to Palm Beach for a golf weekend, they refuse to negotiate with Dems, Dems had to sue to get Trump to release SNAP funds, but Republicans are blaming Dems.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

This will not end until voters boot out MAGA lawmakers who refuse to rein in Trump. We will not be safe from a dictatorial presidency as long as the SCt refuses to check executive overreach. Meanwhile, all Americans must defend our neighbors, our deepest-held values, and what's left of our democracy

The new Supreme Court term starts today, meaning that -- in a novel twist -- the justices will hear oral arguments in some cases before they issue rulings that actually explain what they are doing.

The other night, driving with my son, I thought about all of the stresses on us right now, hitting us from every angle and settling heavy on our hearts.
Just then, the Arch –all lit up and sparkly– appeared before us.
And I remembered a fact about arches.
To steady an arch, you increase the load.
