In the richest country in the history of the world, a single parent with two kids spends more than HALF of his or her income on child care. The time is now to FINALLY provide high-quality, affordable child care for all working families.

More Great News That’s Bad For Trump As we wrap up another week of the Trump and Musk horror show, it’s nice to be able to share some more great news with everyone. My hope is that this gives you at least some sort of relief from their chaos—even if just for a moment.

Trump is creating the largest, most qualified, knowledgeable, capable, and powerful group of disgruntled former employees this country has ever seen. Many are people you definitely want to keep gruntled.

In advance of SpaceX/Elon engineers causing more airliner catastrophes here's a remind that American commercial aviation has had a near perfect safety record going back 23 years. Totally unprecedented in aviation history. Here's a graphic that gives the overview.

Liquor stores in Canada have reportedly stopped selling American booze from red states. Perhaps those of us in the United States who oppose the tariffs on Canada should join the boycott - to heighten the impact.

On Jan. 6, 2021, Metropolitan Police Officer Michael Fanone lay stunned and injured on the ground of the U.S. Capitol building. He’d been Tasered several times in the back of the neck, and someone tried to rip away his gun. That’s when he heard someone say, “Kill him with his own gun.”

In 1979, Jimmy Carter had solar panels installed at the White House. Ronald Reagan had them removed. We may be able to trace back the current "Do Harmful Things if it Trolls the Libs" Republicanism to Reagan removing those panels the far more forward thinking Carter had installed.

Trump in August: "From the day I take the oath of office, we’ll rapidly drive prices down, and make America affordable again. Prices will come down. You just watch. They’ll come down and they’ll come down fast." Trump now: “It's hard to bring things down once they're up. You know, it's very hard."
