What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”

What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”

Funny how that works.

This was taken two nights ago outside Portland’s ICE facility. According to the Trump administration a guy in a chicken suit counts as a reign of terror.

At the Grammy's in 1976, Ella Fitzgerald and Mel Torme explained what jazz is.

Remember Fiona Hill? She’s now sounding the alarm again: “We’re definitely on a path toward full-on state repression. There’s no question about it. I’ve thought about this for an extraordinarily long time.” When Fiona speaks, we should all listen.

Kind of incredible how much Trumpism really is just a dumber version of Pat Buchanan’s shtick.

Interesting that Trump’s economic approval has fallen to basically the worst of his career and his overall approval is right around where it always is. Maybe the entire phenomenon isn’t actually about the economy? Or maybe there’s much further to fall if / when things get worse. We’re gonna find out

How long until diphtheria takes over and we have to sled dog in vaccines?
For the first time in 10 years, a child has died from measles in the United States.

Vaccines prevent measles.

Americans need to hear our top health officials say clearly: every child in America should get vaccinated against this terrible disease.

Grocery prices are soaring.

Housing costs are skyrocketing.

Retirement savings are plummeting.

But Donald Trump thought today would be a good day to play car salesman.

I know this is going to sound naive or earnest, but I genuinely find myself shocked by how little people seem to be upset by the levels of corruption we're seeing. Is that the median voter assumes everyone is corrupt already? Or isn't actually getting stories about the corruption?
