Graham: "It's not his job. How many times do I have to tell you?"

How many times does the US need to destabilize other countries and create more anti-US extremists? Besides the fact that DJT is breaking his campaign promise, hope is no strategy. So there must be a covert strategy.

Whatever happened to hyphenated modifiers? They help reading comprehension, in my not-so-humble opinion.

Still haven't seen MacBeth. But let me tell you about a legend named David, who one day went to the dentist.

Do you ever have a memory nugget pop into your brain, and it feels like it came from too much looking at social media? Like that stuff goes straight into the junk drawer of my memory. And every time they pop up, I say, "Why the he'll do I have this?"

Tyler, I was helping my kid with her homework, and I hit paydirt. I want a producer attached to every one of these titles by the end of the week!

It's that magical time of year when private jets descend on a Swiss mountain village to discuss climate change and poverty! Anyway, here's my annual reminder. I'll stop posting this when they stop avoiding the real issue: their own massive tax avoidance πŸ’°

I was reading an article about the cancellation of food aid to Minnesota, and it reminded me of a story about my dad. He was a vet, an organizer and very deeply involved in his church. And one day he stood up and asked a question: β€œwhat the f*ck’s the point of having a church?”

I had hoped the NYT reporters would make this worth my time. But treading on eggshells doesn't serve the public.

Everything we’ve predicted from science fiction about police weaponization, constant surveillance, misinformation, and the threat of AI to truth is in this moment.

Can you accept - even w/o agreeing with all our positions - that Black people know profound truths about this country that are not on Schoolhouse Rock?

Now that the tactics they’ve used in our communities are becoming national policy, are you ready to concede that you need our β€œexpertise” as well?

The Republican Congress has chosen to give away its authority and power and now we are being told Trump plans to occupy Venezuela. We don't cry for Maduro. We demand the following of our laws and Constitution. He is already threatening Mexico and Cuba will be next. Ann Wagner is silent.

The 300,000 dead Americans claim is made up, but if he really cared about US deaths, he would do something about the US opioid crisis. He would do something about US health care. Invading a sovereign country has nothing to do with saving US lives and everything to do with enriching himself.

I think it's worth pointing out that no political party is running the US govt. If the president has twisted the GOP into a rubber stamp, there is no political process happening, and the whims of the Trump family (mostly wealth accumulation) are what drive the policy of the nation.

Why does a website determine the status of a government agency? Isn't there a statute that has something to say about it?

My bank is raising the minimum balance from $100 to $250. If you have less than that, you get hit with a "maintenance" fee. Yet another attack on those who are living paycheck to paycheck. You shouldn't be charged fees for not having enough money.
