October 20, 1961: Twilight Zone's "The Mirror" airs. Peter Falk plays a Castro-like leader who believes a unique mirror is exposing his assassins.

Some critics dismiss itβ€”and sure, it's not top-tier TZβ€”but I think it teaches a valuable lesson about the seductive nature of power.

Does the Speaker of the House know what's going on in the country?

It's not clear that he does, as Mike Johnson's communication strategy seems to rely heavily on being unaware.

When faced with questions he should be able to answer, he has a reliable response: "I don't know."

30 years ago, Black men gathered in Washington, D.C. for the historic Million Man March. Today, we honor the legacy, the message, and the movement. That spirit lives on. We must continue the fight alongside our brothers and sisters in a struggle that’s so much bigger than us. ✊🏿 #MillionManMarch

Dr. Mehmet Oz received his undergraduate degree from Harvard University and earned a joint M.D. and M.B.A. from the University of Pennsylvania.

The term "underbabied" is not a standard English word and does not have an official definition.

Hakeem Jeffries and Mike Johnson don't need a debate. They should work to reopen the government. This bullshit political theater is absurdly pointless.
