Many octogenarians, even in my own extended family, have outlived my willingness to tolerate their racism, sexism, and homophobia.

“Oh, that’s just their generation” or my favorite “they grew up on a farm,” we say, excusing them.

I can’t do it anymore. Get current or expect my claws and fangs.

Exactly. This whole dumb narrative fuels the right’s false equivalencies. Trump’s brazen corruption matters more than ANYTHING about Biden now.

Trump envoy relied on Kremlin interpreter in meetings with Putin to end war in Ukraine Using the Kremlin’s interpreter was “a very bad idea” that put Witkoff “at a real disadvantage,” Michael McFaul, a former U.S. ambassador to Russia, told NBC News.

Unprepared, unserious, and completely unqualified. By every conceivable measure, team Trump has decimated American leadership on the world stage.

“Due Process” is a bargained for exchange between a government and its citizenry: if you submit to our governance, we will guarantee Due Process.

The inverse is also logical and true: if the government will not honor/provide Due Process, the governed should not submit.

RESIST, however you can.

Let me say the quiet part out loud: Due Process is the bargained for exchange between a government and its citizenry: we will treat you fairly if you submit to our authority and do what we say.

No Due Process, no cooperation. No justice, no peace.

Hey, Donny, no Coloradan gives a fuck about your portrait in which you look portly.

You’re using your vanity and narcissism to come for Colorado? We’re tougher and you can’t handle the altitude.

Ask yourself:

Why would anyone who wasn’t an asset of the Russian government do this?

Why would any decent human being do this?

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.

What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Travel Tip: Don’t come to Colorado if the smell of marijuana offends you.

Let’s get something straight: the People of this beautiful state legalized recreational marijuana 10 years ago for use on own own property. If you don’t like it, don’t come here. Fuck right off . . .

Federal workers are the people doing the hard work to process veterans’ benefits, make sure our airplanes can fly safely, and protect families from the bird flu.

To all of our federal workers: I see you and I’m fighting for you.

Opinion | Three Former E.P.A. Leaders: You’ll Miss It When It’s Gone When the next environmental catastrophe arrives, who will be there to deal with the emergency and its aftermath?

"Most of EPA’s work happens behind the scenes, like when one of its enforcement teams raided a warehouse in Colorado full of mislabeled oil barrels that had been prepared for a landfill and discovered they contained nuclear waste..."
