Thank God, you're not my representative. Many of the dams have fish passages to help mitigate their negative effects on fish migration. Hydroelectric power provides us with almost 60% of our electrical needs.

Since you've watched Episode 5, I'll post this spoiler. You might be entertained. The added soundtrack adds a little something.

This particular fictional warlord was one of the few good ones who had a strong moral code and would not likely be found within white supremacist ranks.

His statement is true. The other truth is that allowing transgender females to compete against cisgender females in athletic competition is a losing issue for Democrats.

You come across as a glass-is-half-empty kinda guy. Look at the bright side — at least she didn't have him killed.

Heads are going to explode 💥

Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third.

All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit.

I grew up with Alex Pretti The kind-hearted ICU nurse shot by ICE agents was my childhood best friend.

I continue to believe that the fastest way to get Stephen Miller fired is to convince Trump that Miller's ICE operations are what cost him the Nobel Peace Prize.

The execution of Alex Pretti is playing so badly because you can look at his actions and life story - his last act was helping, boy scout, athlete, health care worker to veterans - and compare those to the men who killed him and know which you would want to be your son, brother, father, uncle.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

People need to stop seeing the hand of Putin everywhere. Trump does what he does because he's a vain, stupid person who is gripped with megalomania and narcissism. Don't go for complicated explanations when the simple one is in front of you.

Nonetheless, the statement rings true. Logically, it seems that ICE would find more illegal immigrants in those cities that protect them.

Opinion | Trump was an imperialist all along The president is trapped in a Gilded Age bubble where tariffs and resource grabs are prized.

Prosperity in the modern world derives primarily from human, not natural, resources. Per capita GDP in Israel is 50 percent higher than in Saudi Arabia. But Trump is trapped in a Gilded Age bubble where tariffs are good and imperial resource grabs are even better. wapo.st/4pApDGu

For folks in the US, I think another important question should be: Will any of this improve the lives of American citizens?
