Further evidence that the divide in the Democratic Party is not between progressives and moderates, but between voters and donors.

I had to do a laxative prep drink the day before my colonoscopy, and playing a gig (or doing anything that didn't involve being closer to the toilet) would have been impossible.

It's a faceless enemy, unrecognizable, blending in with hundreds of others. It is everywhere. In ponds. In lakes. Or in the very heart of our nation's capital.

These are not serious people.
HEADLINE: Moon base could cover 'hundreds of square miles' in size.

We're now hearing from the program executive of the moon base, Carlos Garcia-Galan, who says they envision it will be "hundreds of square miles", with various assets.

That's typically the size of a large city.

NASA has broken the move into phases, starting with phase one, which has "already started".
