I am a recently retired Episcopal priest in North Carolina, as is my husband. We have one adult son. I'm still finding my path into retirement, but I'm interested in ways we can live in hopeful resistance these next four years.

I want to know why people seem to have no problem pronouncing Ghislaine properly but still haven't mastered Kamala.

Listen to the doctors: When patients go uninsured, they delay care, and it increases costs for everyone.

Instead of paying $10 for diabetic medication, we'll pay $10,000 for an amputation.

Help share so that everyone understands and speaks out AGAINST this Big Ugly Bill.

We are living in an era of what I can only describe as Jimmy Neutron governance: political leaders coming up with (and taking credit for) convoluted and barely workable solutions to problems they created themselves.

The Reid Out's guest just directed us to this website to get involved in the fight for federal programs and the workers who support them.

Too late!

Proclaiming something does not make it so. Not that I'd expect 47 to understand that.

Their faith lets them worship power while they’re offended by mercy. It’s not Christianity they’re practicing.

Things appear to be going swimmingly over on Twitter. I'd like to point out, however, that Elon illegally overstayed a student visa - he didn't have an H1B. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

A shutdown would be devastating to those who rely on social safety net programs to get through each month. Such selfishness is inexcusable.

I suggest he live in a homeless shelter for a couple of months, with no access to income/funds or life-lines. He might gain some perspective, or not.
