I honor and respect this person - and all the folks - who bring us our food. Watching him work is humbling.
As you’re preparing for your Thanksgiving meal, remember the skilled work it took to get that food to your grocery store.

Tell us your favorite Thanksgiving dish, and we can share some of what we know about the work behind the ingredients.

My new story. @pasenatorsaval.com gave me a little time to talk about his new bill that is genius. Best legislation proposed for homelessness in the nation. But you don't have to believe me!

Remembering this sweet boy today, who was shot and killed by cops within seconds of arriving at the park he was playing in. It was a toy gun. He was 12. 11/22/2014. Let’s say his name. 😭

Gun violence is the number one cause of death for children in the USA.

Here's our free audio book. Give it a listen and then let's discuss what the answers should be.

Remember what Camus said, "Fiction is the lie through which we tell the truth."

Truth. The senate was created as a "House of Lords" - Originally it wasn't even directly elected by the people, only the house of reps was.
I don't know what the Senate is going to do. But if they do in fact fold in exchange for nothing, they will be living up to past performance. To expect the Senate to carry out the will of the American people is to misunderstand why it was created in the first place.
