It says much of the life I have led that I can self diagnose certain injuries because I am so familiar with the pain and the discomfort. #injuries

Democrats should boycott the State of the Union and send Epstein survivors and people illegally detained by ICE in their place.

Deciding it’s too dangerous to reveal just how unpopular the current president is seems like the worst poll result ever.

D. E. 's review of Little Women (Little Women, #1) 2/5: I must be a philistine, because try as I might, I could not make myself enjoy this book. I can appreciate the fact that people still are discussing this work, and as a piece by an American, fem...

I accept I am a philistine because apparently I dislike one of the 'great works' of the American canon.

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

Thank God there were people filming. This administration would have said Alex Pretti pulled a handgun, a package of fentanyl, and a signed copy of the Communist Manifesto if they could.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

Just in case anyone has doubts about Trump's plans for the midterms, he now openly admits that he wishes he had order troops to seize all voting machines in 2020.

With no one in the White House, Pentagon, or DOJ to stop him, he'll do it this time--unless Congress stops him first.
