This morning my husband walked into the kitchen and crooned "How's my beautiful girl today" and I was feeling pretty damn good until I realized he was talking to the dog.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”
What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”
Funny how that works.

The modern three-point safety belt was perfected by Volvo engineer Nils Bohlin in 1959 – and its patent given for free to the world. The invention has been credited with saving at least a million lives worldwide.

Trump’s Big Ugly Bill will take food assistance from 4 million people.
While the president jets off to Mar-a-Lago and builds a ballroom, millions of families will be left struggling to afford groceries.
