I’ve got two tickets to Sunday’s show I need to sell. My husband couldn’t get off of work. They cost me $75 each, so selling $150 for both. I’ll eat the service fee and taxes.

I’m no Harvard educated political campaign strategist but, given the way people from across the entire political spectrum are practically dancing in the streets over Brian Thompson’s assassination, maybe it’s time for Democrats to muster the courage to run on a platform of Medicare for All
