When a White House press secretary uses dehumanizing language like this - labeling millions of Americans as โ€œterroristsโ€ or โ€œcriminalsโ€ - it crosses a line that should matter to everyone, regardless of party.

This should never be acceptable from the people who speak for the President of the USA.๐Ÿ‘‡

Man, the miraculous healing power of the ear. It can take a hit from a rifle bullet and recover without a scar. Just incredible. Literally.

I generally enjoy watching the Pittsburgh Steelers play but the petty part of me is really relishing seeing Aaron Rodgers struggle tonight.

Reflecting on the dumb timeline in which we live, where people will โ€œdo their own researchโ€ to avoid vaccines but canโ€™t be bothered to look even for a moment past the disinformation fed them by people who fear who they fear or hate who they hate. #politics

The Half-Drowned King|Paperback "Linnea Hartsuyker brings myth and legend roaring to life in this superbly good page-turning saga of Viking-era Norway. The book’s fiercest magic shines in the characters of Ragnvald and Svanhil...

I wrote a trilogy of novels published by HarperCollins about a brother and sister caught on opposite sides of the war to unite Viking Age Norway.

Today is my birthday and if you are inclined to share this, it would be a lovely present!

Good morning.

Democrats have no obligation to vote for a budget that funds corruption and totalitarianism.

Trump is willing to do whatever it takes to destroy our democracy and pad the pockets of billionaires.

People don't want Democrats to wilt. They want us to fight.

NEW: Thereโ€™s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

You can joke about Pam Bondiโ€™s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but Iโ€™m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. โ€” This should shake everyone to their core.

HORRIBLE. SICKENING. UNACCEPTABLE.

In a democracy we settle our differences with words, ideas & actions, not hatred, guns & violence.
