Not really a fan of Margaret Hoover neccessarily, but I am a fan of Anne Applebaum and support this commentary wholly and completely. The institutions are OURS and these destructive moves hurt. You will never lay eyes on the East Wing or the Rose Garden, and soon the Kennedy Center.

37 immigrants were arrested in an aggressive, military-style raid of a Chicago apartment building. Then they seemingly disappeared. Who were these men, women and children taken in the middle of the night, and where did they go? 🎧️ Listen to their stories:

Trump officials claimed they successfully arrested members of Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua in a dramatic midnight raid. We uncovered a very different story.

Gene Kelly was always my favorite dancing star because his build was so masculine, compared to say, Fred Astaire, but dang! Look at the size of Sugar Ray compared to him. What a surprise to see him dance this way!!

Let's get to the heart of the matter here. Is it okay with you for a man to abuse a woman? A husband to abuse his wife?

Bad immigration economics assumes every extra person is one less seat. Good economics notices they also bring a seat, a side dish, and demand for the bloke selling drinks. The first story is fear; the second is how economies work.

I made a thing this morning. My last bumper stickers incited a lady into screaming at me at a red light in Nashville. She said she could tell by my stickers I was crazy. They said, "I ❤️ Obamacare" and "Ask me about my solar panels" I'm curious to see who responds and how to this one.

You don't see a gun. You see ICE agents untrained who believe they are above the law so they shoot first and know they will never have to answer questions later

Public Schools care for the least of us- the poor and disabled and marginalized children in our communities. Diversity brings empathy. Vouchers defund public schools. Vouchers are creating segregation.
