Merriam quits the high-stakes world of lexicography to teach at a college in Springfield, MA…where Webster just became the head librarian.

She shows him that ‘love’ isn’t that hard to find…if you know where to look it up.

Mike Johnson -- who is, yes, theoretically a lawyer -- has not had a chance to look at the American Constitution because he's been very busy lately, folks, he just can't see everything, gosh, how is he supposed to know if it's wrong that the president called for the execution of congress members?

Don’t tell me that Democrats need to suck up to billionaires to win.

Democrats won elections on big policy ideas: universal child care, more affordable housing, reducing utility costs, and lowering health care costs.

Affordability — not the billionaire agenda — won across America.

If your newspaper is giving Donald Trump softer headlines and gauzier coverage than People Magazine, that should be a bit of a wake up call.

I want to send America's seniors an extra $200 a month.
YouTube video by Senator Elizabeth Warren I want to send America's seniors an extra $200 a month.

Donald Trump is sending $40 billion to Argentina. I want to send America's seniors an extra $200 a month.

The cost of everything from groceries to utilities to health care is up.

My new bill is an emergency lifeline for seniors struggling to survive in Trump's economy.

My "radical" agenda?

Make this city affordable, keep New York safe and turn the page on the billionaire-backed politics of Andrew Cuomo.

Rents are up nearly 4% — the largest increase since 2011.

Natural gas prices are up 14%.

The cost of meat, fish, and eggs is up over 5%.

And now some families will see their health insurance premiums go up by $22,000 a year.

This is Trump’s economy.

Not to be THAT dictionary, but…

It’s ‘per se,’ not ‘per say.’
It’s ‘dog-eat-dog world,’ not ‘doggy-dog world.’
It’s ‘hunger pangs,’ not ‘hunger pains.’
It’s ‘one and the same,’ not ‘one in the same.’
It's 'buck naked,' not 'butt naked.'
