Here's the problem: Trump just keeps pushing and pushing and pushing to see what he can get away with. This was clearly illegal. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/05/u...

I wish our government would go after pedophiles like they go after brown men headed to work at 7 am. I wish they would close billionaire tax loopholes like they close our public schools. I wish they would fund healthcare like they fund forever wars in the Middle East.  Quotes from James Talarico.

A third of undergraduate women say they've been sexually assaulted. But on average, Cornell reported expelling just one attacker per year. www.usatoday.com/story/news/n... It sure seems like if they found 56 of the allegations credible, then 56 should have been expelled, right?

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

In 1957 my Uncle Tom Little won a Pulitzer for this cartoon “ Wonder why my parents won‘t give me the Salk (Polio) Vaccine” as the young boy crippled from polio sadly watches his friends play. His cartoon helped end Polio and educate parents on vaccines. It is very timely once again Marty Taylor

The labor movement gave us weekends, 8 hour work days, and ensured that our kids can go to school rather than work. Honored to fight for unions every day. Happy Labor Day to all those who have fought for a fairer economy in the richest country in the world.
