San Diego. Minneapolis. The urgency is showing and I’ve never been this confident that the people will win. I’ve never been this proud to be an American. From the bottom-up is how we fix this. We walk in fear but we walk together. Thank you. We have a role to play where we can. We all get to choose.

What Does the Department of Education Actually Do? With the help of Congress, a president could get rid of the agency. Getting rid of the programs it runs and the money it spends would be a different matter.

Republicans have been calling for an end to the Department of Education basically since it was established, David A. Graham writes in The Atlantic Daily. “But most presidents, including Trump, can’t and don’t want to get rid of the things it does.”

I know pointing out hypocrisy doesn’t matter anymore, but if there’s one person I wouldn’t want to be the judge of who goes into locker rooms, it would be the man who openly boasted about walking into dressing rooms of underage girls

Trump's first two weeks back in office has been filled with chaos and dysfunction. But none of it is random.

It's part of a plot to spread cynicism and get you to check out.

Oligarchs don't want you to keep paying attention. That's how they win.

Don't tune out. Don't let them win.

Staffing Was ‘Not Normal’ at Air Traffic Tower During Plane Crash The report, reviewed by The New York Times, said that one controller was communicating with both helicopters and planes. Those jobs are typically assigned to two people, not one.

Staffing at the air traffic control tower at Ronald Reagan National Airport was “not normal for the time of day and volume of traffic,” according to an internal preliminary FAA safety report about the collision that was reviewed by The New York Times.

This is not a thought and prayers post,,, this is heartfelt hurt for the families and friends and US Figure Skating and DC School District and everyone who is affected.

This is bout politicians who need to stfu bout trying to blame women and black people for this absolute tragedy,,, Not the time!!!

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

The first thing a President should do in a disaster is address the loss of lives.

Not go on social media and start spouting conspiracy theories.

Today's crazy but wanted to wish everyone celebrating a happy Lunar New Year! Wishing you health and prosperity in the year ahead.

Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.

But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.

They aren’t firing for a reason.
