It is insane to not pay our troops.

Democrats are here. Republicans need to come back from their vacation, work with us, and we need to pay our troops.

Or fizzle.

Agnotic though I am, I hope some mystical god or goddess protects this talented, generous, and deeply kind woman.

Shutdowns are painful for millions of American workers, health insurance premiums are set to more than double for millions more, nothing about this is fun.

Not to be a pedant but Bari Weiss was a junior editor who occasionally wrote opinion pieces in the opinion section, not a columnist.

OOO! You have to get you Sardinia to have casu martzu, maggot cheese.

Do you have a link to the methodology and sample balancing?

This is Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva.

She'll be the final vote to release the Epstein files—but the GOP won't call the House back into session to swear her in.

If you live in a red district, call your rep and tell them: SWEAR IN @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social NOW—RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

It was less than two weeks ago that we learned Tom Homan accepted a $50,000 cash bribe.

It’s been 58 years since Thurgood Marshall’s historic rise to the Supreme Court, may we honor him not just with words, but action.

Today, Oct.2nd, is the anniversary of Jamal Khashoggi’s murder by Saudi agents.

Those bone spurs are in his head, actually.

We indicted Alton Plunkett, a former tax auditor, for his role in the RCI tax fraud scheme.

Plunkett took bribes to help RCI and its executives cheat New Yorkers and avoid paying their fair share in taxes.

Public officials cannot use their office for personal gain.

This current American presidential administration is run by people who are quite obviously mentally ill, and we need to start talking about that.

Americans: My family needs healthcare

GOP: No

Americans: It is VERY important

GOP: The gold in the White House is 24 karat.

Thank you for your writing that helps us see and understand the difficulties we are in as a country.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

Trump spoke at length about the military being used to quell domestic dissent.

Put those things together, and that’s the takeaway.
