I just want to learn how we can build a bridge across the ugly political divide in our republic.

My first question: "What's so funny 'bout peace love and understanding?"

George Clooney for President.

CNN needs to do real time fact checking. Just watched a Republican from Oklahoma claim that inflation was at 4.6% when Trump took office, blaming it on Biden. NONSENSE! It was 3% and trending down. CNN never questioned it. Bad media! Bad!

Happy Easter everyone. While I'm not prone to wearing religion on my sleve, this year I profess my faith in Jesus Christ and ask all others who do so to think really hard about what that means. Would Christ support the actions of our current leadership? HOW WOULD JESUS VOTE?

More market manipulation? Tariffs lifted on phones, chips and other electronics? WTF?

Here’s the real reason why DOGE is gutting the IRS.

(Hint: it has nothing to do with “efficiency.”)

Trump just blinked on Tarrifs. Don't be fooled. No strategy here.

When used inappropriately, as I believe the president is doing with across-the-board import taxes on our allies and adversaries alike, tariffs lead to higher prices, fewer jobs, slower economic growth, and more contentious relationships with nations around the world.

Elon Musk and his co-President Donald Trump are dismantling NOAA, and the consequences will be catastrophic—especially for coastal communities. I led 113 of my colleagues in demanding answers from Commerce Secretary Lutnick about this reckless purge.

Dismantling the Department of Education will hurt all public schools, but rural schools will be hit hard.

As one Eastern Oregon school board member said, “public education is on the chopping block, and it’s a travesty — a disaster for our country and our state.”

Bernie's the MAN! He's been fighting for workers rights, climate change, women's rights, black rights, taxing the rich, and free healthcare for decades. THIS MAN IS OLDER THAN BIDEN! But his ideas are more aligned with the younger generations. Even today, when Harris is MIA, Bernie and AOC are here!

Funny thing about Republicans. They like to wear their religion on their sleeves, but when it comes to social welfare issues, they are hard core Darwinists. The weak get eaten.

A guy with huge business and financial interests in China, and no demonstrated loyalty to America, may be getting a briefing on possible U.S. conflict with China? What could possibly go wrong.
