Cuba immediately repudiated the US Ambassador’s egregious conduct, his rude & crude, unacceptable attempt to use smoke & mirrors to justify the actions of a rapidly growing authoritarian regime.

I keep seeing people say, oh, trans people must take a hit for the greater good and, first of all, no, you don't get to discard someone else's rights and second, we know from past experience that marginalized communities like theirs are merely the first to be targeted. They'll come for you next.

Q: Unless ACA subsidies are extended, the average plan will increase by somewhere around 115%

DR OZ: Where'd you get that number?

Q: Kaiser Family Foundation

OZ: They retracted that. Here's the truth. The average American who's on ACA is gonna pay $13 more than this year. That's not a big issue

There is lots to criticize in the Skydome, but the logic behind how and where it was built makes it a stadium to emulate

I regret to inform everyone that my pedantic brain couldn’t let me live until I knew whether or not dodger blue and blue jays blue are the same blue. They are ONE PANTONE NUMBER APART.

Menus during President Trump's Asia tour showcased local cuisine while making sure that his tastes and America First agenda were met. There were beef patties with ketchup, and brownies decorated “with the color of gold that President Trump favors.”

U.S. Beef and Thousand Island Dressing: Trump’s Food Tour of Asia

The menus on the president’s tour of three countries in Asia reflected the culinary acrobatics the host nations performed to accommodate his palate and foreign policy goals.

Here is what I believe in:

--Love. Always, always, always. It can move mountains. (Sometimes, that mountain is your own fear.)
--Not assuming the worst about people.
--Really listening.
--Do not harm, but take no shit.

An important point I've had to raise with a surprising number of people. One of the biggest drivers of success or failure for a mayoralty is whether the person actually wants to be Mayor, or just wants a title or something to run for. It's "the second toughest job" in politics. Not for tourists.

The Lower Don Trail was supposed to be open last year. Why the city says it still isn’t usable — and when it will be

Pedestrians and cyclists are heartbroken that one of the key bicycle commute routes into the downtown remains unusable.
