Dolly was a beautiful soul, full of joy and compassion. Her aura was transcendent, soaring beyond partisan divides and petty differences. She was a beacon of hope in a bitter and cynical world. May her amazing life inspire all of us to be better humans.

We lost Dolly and Gloria in back-to-back weeks. Meanwhile that fat Adderall snorting cheeseburger guzzling child rapist is still waddling around. There is no God and nobody can convince me otherwise.

There is no place for political violence in our country. I’m grateful that Amy Acton is safe and thankful for the law enforcement officers who acted swiftly today. Attacks like this cannot just be the price you pay for running for office. This must never become normal.

Newsom: "He's not screwing around. He wasn't screwing around when he called Greg Abbott for 5 seats, said he was entitled to 5 seats. Why does he do that? Because he knows he's going to lose the election unless he rigs the election before one vote is cast. That is what we're up against."

I admit it’ll be fascinating to see whether Google & Apple dare to change “New Mexico” to “New America” if Trump declares it so. It’ll be even more interesting to see how Republican House & Senate members react if he decides to change the Dakotas to “North Trump” and “South Trump.”

ICE agents shot and killed an unarmed civilian in Houston, Texas. The victim was a construction worker, a father of three US citizens, had lived in the US for 35 years and was applying for a work permit. He panicked and tried to flee when he mistook masked, armed ICE agents for thieves.
