Thomas Jefferson was 44 when he began what many in 2025 STILL consider a romantic tryst or loving affair with Sally Hemings. Ms. Hemings had no legal capacity to consent to such a relationship not only because she was enslaved, Jefferson's property, BUT ALSO BECAUSE SHE WAS 14-YEARS-OLD. /1

Mayor Johnson speaking about Rahm isn’t an attack. An attack is what Rahm did to Chicago & our students. As a former educator Brandon knows how badly the attacks on public education hurt our students. He’s 100% right Vallas, Duncan, and Rahm laid the groundwork for attacks now.

Home insurance in areas hit by repetitive disasters is going to be the number one housing affordability issue over the next 4 years. And possibly going into the midterms. More so than interest rates. Florida in particular is going to have huge problems.
