I don’t say this glibly: this is an amazing scientific achievement. A real miracle.
I really didn't think we'd get to this point. As people who didn't live through the 80s-90s really don't understand how bad it was.

Two babies were born in New York within a year of each other, soon after WWII.
One, Rob Reiner, lived a life of humanity and achievement. He brought us delight and joy. His memory will be a blessing.
The other, Donald Trump, will be remembered as an embarrassment to our nation.

Time for my annual debate: what’s the best movie version of “A Christmas Carol?”
Obviously it’s the Muppet version, and I cannot be persuaded otherwise.

Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."

The Speaker of the House shut the chamber down for two months to block the release of the Epstein Files and the president is huddled in the Situation Room of the White House to formulate a plan to keep them from being released, and I don't know why you crazy libs think there's some kind of cover up.

Dem gains in this week's elections erased the inroads Trump made with non-white, young, and low-income voters in 2024. In fact, the R-to-D shift from 24 to 25 is double Trump's gains from 20-24. Claims of a GOP political realignment have been highly exaggerated

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

I have been loudly, persistently anti-Trump since the beginning. And tonight's election results just make me more sure: *there are more of us than there are of them* A good hard look at Trumpism in action has made that impossible to ignore.
