Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

ICE racially profiles an elderly man and takes him into custody. They realize their mistake and release him. They also intimidate witnesses. This incident occurred in Long Beach, California.

America is not building enough housing and Americans are facing sky-high housing costs as a result.

Today, the Senate took a historic step to change that.

The ROAD to Housing Act will help communities – urban, suburban, and rural – build more housing and bring down costs.

I often call Trump a moron. I don't feel I'm insulting him. I'm being descriptive. Morons are more intelligent than idiots and imbeciles, with a mental age of 7-10. They're troublesome - they're not self-aware of their shortcomings and sometimes pass as normal. Especially among idiots and imbeciles.
