So I’ve made it official folks: I’ve filed the paperwork to run for Governor of Alabama. It’s time to remind this state of who we are and what we can accomplish together.

If you're looking for another way to divest from Amazon and instead support your local community, hi, nice to meet you 👋

When you buy audiobooks through us, a portion goes to your independent bookstore. It's an easy way to shop small all year long.

The targeting of Mark Kelly isn’t politics...it’s the sick new normal created by a movement that can’t win arguments, only intimidate. When public servants become targets, freedom isn’t next in line… it’s already in danger. Fortunately, the outrage is intensifying rapidly.

Sigh

These "we'll issue our new health insurance plan in two weeks" bits from Trump are really starting to get old

Nothing says Make America Great Again like bringing Chinese jobs to Venezuela
Salazar: "In Congress we've understood that China, we need to bring those jobs back. Maybe to the United States, but maybe near-shoring or rear-shoring. Maybe it's time to bring those jobs to Venezuela and to Chile and to Bolivia and to Central and South America. They happen to be in our back yard."

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all oil companies are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness by forcibly annexing productive wells in Venezuela
Rep. Salazar: "We're gonna be doing a favor to us, to our children, to our economy, to our oil companies to be able to liberate. And to Venezuelans who wants to be free."

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.
