I thought the post-9/11 patriot police who demanded politicians wear little flag pins were pathetic but the UK has put that to shame

Trump said he plans to issue another anti-voting executive order to impose stricter voter ID requirements. The announcement comes after the president said he'd move to ban mail-in voting, a proposal that received pushback from some Republicans.

Neguse: Facts matter. Under President Trump, Americans are paying more for their electricity than ever before. So spare us lectures about energy costs as Republicans preside over an economy over which everything is getting more expensive.

About this Florida vaccine story: When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough. We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated. “Oh, they’d have died.”

Davies: And his biggest brag forever was that he was very good friends with Donald Trump. He had an eight by ten framed picture of him on his desk with the two of them, like they were very close.

There's nothing chaotic about the race! The runaway winner of the Democratic primary has a comfortable ongoing lead in the polls! The only chaotic element is the mind-traffic of the small circle of self-appointed civic elites melting down over their refusal to accept a straightforward situation.
