Political Violence is a Grave Threat to Us All. We Must Change Course | Friends Committee On National Legislation “Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love…

In the wake of this traumatic act of political violence, we are called to sound the alarm over the dangerous direction our nation is heading, and to reflect on what we must do — as individuals and collectively — to help change course toward a better future.

As a federalist, I have always supported states' rights. Here's why RFK Jr. should make it illegal for New York and California to have vaccine mandates.

Mr President:

Tariffs will slow the economy and raise inflation.

Come at me bro.

Vought accuses Fed of ‘fiscal mismanagement’ Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Russell Vought accused the Federal Reserve on Sunday of “fiscal mismanagement” amid tensions between the White House and the Fed. “The President has b…

Well.

So.

Who’s gonna tell the…sorry, just checking my notes…director of he OMB, that fiscal management isn’t the Fed’s job it’s…checking again…his.

The gaslighting will continue until forever, I guess

Action is therapy. Sorrow is an expression of love. Good work heals. Connection is strength. Beauty is resistance. Joy is subversive. Facts are bones, meaningful work is muscle.

My plan to revive American manufacturing is to: raise the price of inputs like steel, aluminum & copper; create shortages of rare earths; generate less electricity; invite retaliatory tariffs; cut R&D; raise borrowing costs by blowing out the budget; and to cover it all in a cloud of uncertainty.

This is also, obviously, self sustaining for a time. Take over an institution you have no respect for, make it so it doesn’t work well for anyone, increase distrust in that institution, blame your enemies for the degradation, score political points, watch as it is fully dismantled. Rinse, repeat.

My grandma went to school through 8th grade there:)

I think members of congress should have to comply with a work requirement to get healthcare.

Once again, the Press Secretary is lying

@warren.senate.gov: "They're fighting over how many children should go hungry so that Mark Zuckerberg can buy another Hawaiian island."

An Open Letter to Clarence Thomas As the Trump administration tries to remake society along apartheid lines, your vote to stop the assault, however unlikely, is absolutely essential.

Most of my friends think I'm wasting my time and, I probably am. But I had to try.
Here is an open letter, and an honest plea, to Clarence Thomas, in hopes that he might do the right thing this decision season.
He hates me as much as I hate him. But I had to try.

The Majority Leader is lying
