I know immigration is complicated, but our shared humanity doesn’t have to be. What is happening with ice raids is inhumane and we need to be the voice of people who have no voice right now.

Speak up, even when they tell you to shut up.

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

Yes, Donald, we're still talking about Jeffrey Epstein.

Americans want answers.

Man says he was denied his constitutional right to protest at Ice Raids at a farm in Ventura County, California.

He really should not have said anything about other attorneys waiting until their student loans are forgiven. That could come back to haunt them if the administration decides to “address” that in any way.

The 14th Street Busway has been a smashing success: faster commutes, fewer crashes, calmer streets.

So why is Eric Adams blocking a similar plan for 34th Street?

You know what's sad? You see it on Social Media but mostly you dismiss it thinking it's just trolls, bots, and 16-year-old boys in their mom's basement but to hear the hate coming right out of fellow Americans' mouths is jaw-dropping.

The silver lining of having crippling anxiety is that things typically do turn out better than you thought they would.

Kristi Noem didn’t approve FEMA rescue teams for over 72 hours after the Texas floods, following a rule she imposed that required her personal sign-off on any operation over $100K.

This is inexcusable. She should resign.

Many police officers work years without ever drawing their guns.
These cowboys draw guns on unarmed people to hurry their compliance for doing something not illegal.
There should be outrage.
