My teenage son gets into violent fights at school. We're always at the principal's office. One of the girls he beat up was hospitalized. He gets $75/mo allowance. He wants $10 on top of this for brass knuckles. We agreed but stipulated he can only use one hand/fist to bully. Will this "rein" him in?

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

70% of working age SNAP recipients work full time. The companies should pay them a living wage! SNAP is corporate welfare.

The perfect encapsulation of Politico. "Of course the White House is lying, but it's a pretty savvy lie, so let's see how it plays?" It's all a fun little game with no stakes to them. It's like they're recapping episodes of Real Housewives.

Can we agree baseball isn’t all about analytics? Chemistry and team spirit used to matter. Mets season is an example of percentages and payrolls not = wins. Keep a player like David Robertson who wanted more than anything to stay w/ the Mets. Keep Iglesias. Butto. Low cost, big heart. #lgm #metssky

Workers are not asking to get rich. They just want to afford three meals a day. In the richest country in the history of the world, no one should work for starvation wages. It is time to raise the disgraceful $7.25/hr federal minimum wage to a living wage of AT LEAST $17/hr.

Top 5 ways to celebrate “Liberation Day”: 1. Remove shoe. Sh00t self in foot. 2. Google “tariff”. Summarily ignore definition. 3. Poop in neighbor’s yard. 4. Designate organ to exchange for a pint of maple syrup. 4. Put wallet in Vitamix. Purée for 15 secs. #liberationday #tariff #trumptax
