In 1776, Thomas Paine made the best case for fighting kings — and for being skeptical • Kansas Reflector

Saying “no” — especially to those in power — is an underrated American pastime, and Thomas Paine was its Babe Ruth.

Today marks yet another day that Speaker Mike Johnson has denied Adelita Grijalva her right to govern.

She won her special election on Sept 23rd but has yet to be sworn in.

Why? Because she will become the 218th vote needed to discharge the release of the Epstein files.

Say her name.

In Trump's America, you're an order of magnitude more likely to get attacked on the street by ICE and the National Guard than by any foreign gang member.

It's funny because London has a much lower homicide rate than any major American city, including those in red states.

Nice disinformation though, and of course it's being spread by Elon Musk, the world's biggest spreader of disinformation

My wife and I are trying to have kids. We're looking at the cost of childcare. Frankly, it's a nightmare.

Young people struggling with the financial realities of starting a family in this country deserve a voice in the Senate. I promise you, I will fight for universal childcare.
