Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Streetās greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

Since discovering family law judges stop listening when the term narcissist is used in their courtroom, we now refer to our ex-DIL as a psychopath. Her life now revolves around revenge, smearing us on social media and alienating our grandchildren from us. Her cruelty is as casual as breathing.

Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about the President and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.

It isnāt normal for a president to repeatedly threaten the use of military force against American citizens. Treating the National Guard as a political pawn disrespects those who serve and undermines public trust in our military.

Read most of the well known Bradbury books as a teen. Volunteered to teach a reading class for middle schoolers a few years ago and we read "Something Wicked This Way Comes" and they loved it.
