It arrived one day early. Already 24 pages in, and it reads like a thriller.

Unfortunately, I know how this one ends.

Kamala Harris would have been a great president. Still could be.

No, 150-year-olds aren't collecting Social Security benefits. Elon Musk claims to have found rampant fraud; but there's a much simpler explanation.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are jeopardizing America's national security.

Rep Olszewski: "Prison guards overseeing thousands of ISIS combatants in Syria walked off the job after their pay was frozen until a waiver was thrown together after the fact.”

Bans off our bodies.
The blows keep coming:   "Because you are willing to sacrifice your values, your knowledge, if President Trump tells you to do that. That, to me, is unacceptable in a Secretary of Health and Human Services."

Ouch: "A pregnant woman with a life-threatening bleed goes to the ER & her doctor determines she needs an emergency abortion. She's in a state where abortion is banned. You would agree that federal law protects her right to that emergency care, correct?"

Egg prices are rising and the shelves are empty in Delaware. Gas prices are rising, too - even at Costco.

PS: Don't blame me, America. I voted for Kamala. #ThanksDonald

I wonder how Rep Senator Tim Young is feeling right now. The Revenge Tariffs from Columbia are really bad for our farmers (and also bad for Colombia. 96.7 % of their corn for livestock comes from the USA )

Again I think this ends fast. But it’s interesting

Don't be quiet.
These women didn’t sit down, stay quiet, or ask for permission—they broke the rules and changed the world. Role models.

We should add Bishop Mariann Budde to the list.

The bird flu is spreading to more than 50 mammal species and putting food supplies at risk.

H5N1 is airborne and spread by migratory birds, making it hard to control.

Despite culling millions of birds, the virus spreads, raising prices and increasing human cases.

This is a global health crisis.

Democrats plan to focus on President-elect Trump’s billionaire allies as they gear up for a fight over his proposed tax cuts. It’s a strategy that suggests that President Biden’s farewell warning about an emerging “oligarchy” could have some resonance.
If Democrats Attack Trump’s Rich Pals as ‘Oligarchs,’ Will It Stick?
Some Democrats see Elon Musk as an ideal foil. But not everyone agrees.
