If you missed his touching Father's Day-themed essay in People over the weekend, consider starting the week off with it. You won't be disappointed.

I’m so glad papers like the Berkshire Eagle still exist. this reporter covered every detail of these arrests, including quashing a rumor that the building’s maintainance guy called ICE on these men (he didn’t). support your local journalists!

I can't think of a faster way to undermine the country than simultaneously firing government workers, cutting scientific research, rolling back protections on public health & environment, & cutting essential services. It's like the US was defeated in war and is being occupied by a hostile enemy.
