48 years ago today, Blondie released 'Parallel Lines.' With “Heart of Glass,” “Hanging on the Telephone” and “One Way or Another,” it became the album that sent the band into the mainstream.

Just canceled our AARP membership. Their complete failure to advocate for protecting Medicare Part D is unacceptable. An organization that claims to represent older Americans shouldn't be silent when their healthcare is at stake.

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it. This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.
