Yesterday's New York primary proves what I've come to believe: Money doesn't win elections. Votes do.
Money doesn't win elections. People do.
(Also, that we've grown tired of the old Democratic machine and that we're ready for new leaders.)

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.

They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.

France also gave us this land as American soil.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

The American Bar Association has just called upon every attorney, regardless of their political views, to join them & stand up for the rule of law & at minimum insist that our government "follow the law."

Every lawyer has an ethical responsibility to do so.

MapQuest is NOT renaming the Gulf of Mexico. Our maps are like grandma's Thanksgiving recipes — once they're printed, they're not changing. The Gulf of Mexico stays put on MapQuest.

For those of you who don't know why Donald is *obsessed* with wind turbines ("windmills" in his juvenile vocabulary), he sued Scotland to remove turbines in the North Sea, claiming they ruined views from his golf hotel. He lost the case. And had to pay Scotland $290,000. He's still butthurt over it.

Don't you think today would be a great day to ban members of Congress and their families from trading stocks?

I do.
Members of Congress again outperformed the stock market, report shows
"When Congress members consistently outperform benchmarks like the S&P 500, it raises serious questions about fairness."
