Baby Boomers are the second largest age demographic after Millennials. We're the ones living month to month on the social security we've been paying into for over 50 years - - finally. We're sometimes achy, perhaps a little slower, but we've never stopped fighting.

Trump bears the bulk of the blame for the unprecedented global economic crisis now unfolding. But let’s not ignore the role played by the hideously bad judgment of the business and financial leaders who supported Trump and didn’t realize this was an inevitable outcome.

I still can’t figure out when “we can deport you” turned into “we can put you in a hell hole prison in a third country, indefinitely, with no legal recourse.”

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

Donald Trump promised to lower food prices.
Instead, he fired the experts in charge of containing the bird flu.
Yep – the same bird flu that’s part of the reason egg prices are surging.

We need a Navalny, not a Newsom.
No offense intended against mainstream politicians like Newsom.
It’s just that at this point we are way beyond the realm of normal bullshit politics.

I just watched Macron's address to France.
It was urgent, impassioned and determined—and established Russia as a clear and present danger to Europe America can no longer be relied upon to help with.
Europeans are preparing for a possible imminent darkness. My heart breaks that we aren't with them.

Stop listening to dinosaurs. Stop paying the consultants that got us here. Stop asking for money instead of telling us what you’re going to do to fight back. The DC bubble has never been more glaring to me than ever. People out here are absolutely pissed and scared. Figure that out fast!
