Republicans who have been around for a long time clearly have no idea how to run for election, and perhaps we should be asking how that has happened

When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in. The joy on their faces says it all.

It's not "strikingly juvenile" and it's not a "personal broadside." It's hate speech. The Vice President is trying to get people to vote against a Democrat by implying that he's gay and/or a pedophile and/or a fetishist. Take it seriously. It is on a par with every other kind of hate speech.

It's incredibly weird that so many people demonize socialism when socialism is what so many aspire to in retirement. Medicare (ideally) = not having to worry about medical payments after retirement age. Social security (ideally) = universal basic income after retirement age.

Ilhan Omar’s home was raided today, weeks after border czar Tom Homan cited an “ongoing criminal investigation.” It reportedly involves immigration paperwork when she was a child. There is NOT an ongoing investigation of Homan taking $50,000 in an FBI bribery sting because Trump killed that probe.
