The more desperately we cling to what we want and resist what we dislike, the more power we give those things over us.

Trump: I was in Iowa, I passed 2 gas stations. I noticed these crazy things. In the old days I don't look so much, but once you become a politician you look. How much is gasoline at this moment in time?

Today's jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy. What's required is investment in working people — and better wages. When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs. Remember this.

I’ve known many other defense secretaries, starting with Cap Weinberger, who served as defense secretary under Reagan. I can say without fear of contradiction that Pete Hegseth is the stupidest and least qualified of them all. He is a danger to the entire world. He must be impeached.

Democrats damned well better find their spines and courage to actually DO something dramatic, as Mr. Snyder advises. If they manage to gain control of the House and Senate, yet squander it by being too centrist or indecisive, they'll bear 100% of the responsibility when we lose our democracy.
