Former US Congresswoman Liz Cheney issues urgent call to Democrats: β€œstop fundraising and start fighting” In the US, as political tensions reach a boiling point and democratic norms continue to erode under what many now

If the images you have seen this past week coming from Washington D.C. are making you feel hopeless, that's the point. Speak up. Contact Republican members of Congress who have the power to stop this. This post was published a while ago, but could stand repeating.

This man is a true patriot. When people complain that Democrats aren't doing enough, they need to follow Chris Murphy. He is not the only one, but he is out there every day in many venues trying to keep the people informed and inspired! He is doing his job with an A+ rating.

This is a wake up call for those who think that everything is the same. The reporting of 60 Minutes is vital in making America what it should be and maintaining freedom of speech. Thank you to the correspondents of 60 Minutes for trying to continue the good work.

I Just Got Back From Europe. They All Know That America's a Mess and That He's Nuts. My family and I had barely been in our Lisbon Uber for ninety seconds when our gregarious driver Nuno, recognizing our accents asked, β€œSo… are you pro-Trump or anti-Trump?”

This letter was reassuring for me, not only as a traveler but as an example of the world view and experiences of others.

This is beyond tragic. This says so much about our country that I am feeling ashamed of. We need to get out there this weekend and raise our voices. Make America Care Again. Make Us Proud Americans Again.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.

Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

I'll choose Costco over Walmart, but good advice!
