Workers, in America, did not lose the concept of the dignity of work. Unfortunately, many employers who degrade and mistreat and underpay their employees have, indeed destroyed that concept.

Greg Abbott has accomplished what no one in Texas ever thought possible: he's made Rick Perry look smart.

Yup, 50th among states, rock bottom, in education. No surprise here.

A Nuclear Reactor on the Moon? Come Again?

โ€œTo properly advance this critical technology to be able to support a future lunar economy ..." #SeanDuffy? How about we take care of this country's economy. And for the record, every day in this country seems the equivalent of one lunar day - four weeks.

Newsom: He knows heโ€™s going to lose in the midterms, and we have the opportunity to de facto end the Trump presidency in less than 18 months.

Thatโ€™s whatโ€™s at stake. Thatโ€™s why weโ€™re putting a stake in the ground. Weโ€™re not drawing lines just to draw linesโ€”weโ€™re holding the line: on democracy.
