Did you hear the one about a tone deaf billionaire telling America's working class they can have 2 dolls, a pencil and a 50-year mortgage?

Oh boy. CBS reporting lone suspect was an Afghani national and others say terrorism unit is taking over.

If this was a terror-related incident, a lot more questions are raised.

And likely the Administration will use to justify needing more National Guard here.

If trump hadn't defunded scientific study, his government could conduct a conservative on conservative violence study.

The US represents 5% of the world's population, yet we have 46% of the world's civilian-owned guns. Those same guns are the number one killer of our children and young adults. It's past time for sensible gun regulation.

I visited DC several years ago. I walked the National Mall, Memorial Parks & much of downtown, 7-8 miles as I recall. I had lunch in a lovely park. I was alone. The streets, sidewalks, grounds & monuments were well maintained. I never once felt unsafe. Obama was president at the time.

If trump's policies are so popular, why are republicans working so hard to rig the 2026 election? What are they afraid of?

Trump bombing Iran was illegal and unjustified.

I ran for Congress to make sure our leaders consider the true costs of war.

And I will be in the Senate, standing on my titanium legs, demanding answers from Trump.

The last person you want in charge of our military at a perilous time is a cretin who only acts on impulse and flattery. We all will be made to care.

Military aid to Ukraine has always been a bargain for the U.S.

We degraded Russia’s armed forces and replaced our own stockpiles with brand new weapons, all while brave Ukrainians— not Americans—fought the Russians off.

Halting that aid is not only morally repulsive, it’s plain stupid.

“The trouble with tariffs, to be succinct, is that they raise prices, slow economic growth, cut profits, increase unemployment, worsen inequality, diminish productivity and increase global tensions. Other than that, they’re fine.” — JPMorgan’s David Kelly.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.

They run them bc people react to them the most.

If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.

It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

I'm re-streaming Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, Mad Men and Six Feet Under in an effort to avoid the news. It's going to be a long 4 years, so feel free to share your favorites.
