Itโ€™s probably crossed Trumpโ€™s mind more than once that if he gives Putin Alaska, Murkowski is Putinโ€™s problem.

Dear Democratic Members of Congress,

Stop telling me about what he's doing. We can all see it.

Start telling me about what you're doing to stop it!

Not all corporations are bad. But they must be watched and regulated.They are like alcoholics who need to go to AA meetings every day. Large corporations need help staying on the straight and narrow so that they don't slowly start to enrich CEOS and managers by paying lower wage and ignoring safety.

The reason that we are falling so far behind other economically rich countries in terms of care for citizens, technology, and health care is because we are a racist country. The Evil capitalists use racism to divide us as a country so they can overwork us, pay us less, and dump toxins everywhere.

Maybe think about what could be. Eyes on the Prize. Keep going. We need a lot more education about different economic systems in Eurooe and Asia. People in this country do not know that most rich countries provide much better social services than we do. We are dying because we are racist.

When I first started taking Provigil more than 20 years ago, I sometimes had a small amount of trouble with diarrhea if I hadn't eaten enough for lunch. If you are already awake enough, Provigil might have the same effect as caffeine - it might cause anxiety and jitters. Over time, you habituate.

If you happen, for some reason, to be taking Provigil or some variation of Provigil, a caution about side effects. I first started taking 100 mg of Provigil sometime around 2003 to reduce the amount of coffee I was drinking. I would take 100 mg sometimes in the afternoon or evening.

In 2000, after seeing Ralph Nader speak (live in person in Madison), I decided that while while Ralph Nader was brilliant and thoughtful and had done wonderful things for car safety and consumer safety, I didn't think he would appeal to a wide range of voters across the country.

I voted for Al Gore in 2000 for many reasons: 1) I was living in Wisconsin, which was a "purple" state and the Democratic margin was very small. 2) There is less childhood poverty when the President of the United States is a Democrat. 3) I went to see Ralph Nader speak, live, in person in Madison.

But it is actually much easier to promote third parties at the local and state level when Democrats are in power. Leftist activists in Madison had a lot of discussions about whether to vote for Ralph Nader on the Green Party ticket in 2000. I voted for Al Gore in 2000 for many reasons.

The Democrats have been as bad as Republicans at blocking efforts to get multi-line voting (voting for a candidate who reprrsents two different parties - this way, you aren't splitting the Democratic Party when you promote more leftist third parties or a decent cleaned up Green Party).

The Democratic Party is not perfect, but their policies are much, much, much better than those of the Republicans. The policies of the Democratic Party help ordinary working class people much more than those of the Republican Party. Their policies help children, the disabled and the elderly.

So, I am writing this as someone who did volunteer work for Progressive Dane (New Progressive Party, New Party) from about 1995 to the early 2000s in Madison, Wisconsin. I very much want there to be a multi-party system in this country.The Democrats are about 1000 times better than the Republicans.

I think I was getting up to $5 an hour here in Madison from 1989 to 1992. That was for babysitting two children in the day, usually, and both parents were lawyers, so they had more money than some other families in Madison. (I stopped babysitting in the summer of 1992. Because of grief. )

I think I was getting about two dollars an hour to babysit in the 1970s - I would usually make about $10 fir babysitting on a Friday or Saturday night. I didn't date, and I was responsible and good with children, so I was in high demand as a babysitter.

Cars, coffee and clothing are poised to get pricier with new tariffs The Trump administrationโ€™s latest tariffs are expected to drive up prices for U.S. consumers, with costs rising for everyday items such as groceries and clothes.

President Trump's tariffs are expected to cost households an average of $2,400 per year, according to the Budget Lab at Yale University.

They estimate food prices could rise more than 3 percent and car prices could rise 12 percent.
