I’m running for Congress in NY-12, my home.
We have a demented, criminal president running the country like a mob operation—government by the boss, for the boss.
We need Democratic fighters who will defend the rule of law and deliver government by the people. Join us.

100% agree with Linda’s piece below. The best documentary I’ve ever seen. Absolutely did justice to this brilliantly gifted songwriter, musician, singer, performer. There is no one at his level of success who’s more humble, authentic, full of heart & soul. My rock ‘n roll hero. #billyjoel

I may be a party of one but I absolutely abhor the use of "girlies" when women address other women. "To my insert-adjective-here girlies..." And I'm someone who loves the word "gal", "ladies", and plenty of other ways to refer to members of the female gender. Hope this verbal trend goes away fast.

Trump’s Tariff Formula Slammed As ‘Fake’ And ‘Incredibly Stupid’ By Experts
The approach appears to punish countries based on their trade imbalances with the U.S., rather than the taxes they impose on the U.S. and a combination of other trade barriers Trump claimed the new tariff rates would be based on.

No number of pardons or lies will change what happened on January 6. Donald Trump can’t change history. It was domestic terrorism, it was treason, plain and simple.
