We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.

Booted up this morning after an overnight complete update (highly recommend) and think it’s now time to trade in our old McKinley. What should MapQuest get instead? I’m thinking a Denali.

The actual number is less than 1%.

Foreign aid has long been a boogey man of the right, so it's not surprising they're vilifying it now.
