Machado has been a key unifying figure.
"This is precisely what lies at the heart of democracy, our shared willingness to defend the principles of popular rule, even though we disagree.”At a time when democracy is under threat, it is more important than ever to defend this common ground."

I can’t in good faith vote to pass a defense authorization when this President is using our brave men and women in uniform as his personal intimidation tool. My full statement here.

A billionaire chooses the UK for it's peaceable society, top-class schools & universities, thriving arts scene, world class restaurants, etc.

Of course there are comparable options around the world, but few in the sweet spot between the US and Far East money markets.

Scant few would leave.

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.
