After 9-11, our mother suggested giving to charities for Christmas, instead of buying each other "more stuff." More in keeping with the spirit of the season. We still buy token gifts – $20-$25, no more – but we still give to nonprofits.

Make some noise. They’re trying to sell this travesty as a health-care plan.
When a politician says: we’ll deregulate health insurance and send you a “freedom account” check, ask: freedom to buy what? If insurers don’t offer real policies or can cherry-pick only healthy people, that money is a coupon for a store that’s not open.

I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood.
She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

You're a high ranking government official and you shouldn't make things up.
Your 70% number is just a fabrication.
And it's TOTALLY not true that "every single" person you detained is here illegally. For instance, many were allowed in so they could apply for asylum.
