Last night, President Trump said, "You have to trust your country, because if there can be no trust there can be no greatness, and that's very simple. No trust, no greatness." He lied 6 times in the first 60 seconds of his speech. And countless times after. We're supposed to trust him?

This guy either has figured out a way to make a living by running for political office (and losing), or he needs to get a new hobby. Also... "experienced leadership" ... is there even one example of this? I think his experience begins and ends with being student body president in high school.

I sent a package to Fairbanks via UPS last week and it's fascinating to track it on the UPS website. It has gone from Vancouver to Medford, Oregon, to Sacramento and now to Visalia, California. They've had the package for almost a week now. Does UPS not know where Alaska is?

One of my party facts is that according to polls, Americans believe foreign aid is about 25% of the federal budget and on average that it *should* be about 10%. The actual number is less than 1%. Foreign aid has long been a boogey man of the right, so it's not surprising they're vilifying it now.
