It was hot outside, I wrote about it for @theipaper.com.
"For the 20-odd years since I moved to Britain from the US, I’ve had to put up with this weather snobbery from my fellow citizens, who can’t comprehend the concept of architecture built for specific climates," writes Cat Conway

Sorry, but at this point if you genuinely think there's no difference between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, you are actually too stupid to function.

What they want, always, is someone else to do the work and make hard choices and maintain an orderly society for them so they can brag about keeping their hands clean and lament how horrible it all is.

Three elections they’ve done this now, and two of them ended with Trump presidencies.

changeling discourse. infographics about circumventing iron and salt. ragebait about leaving out raw milk instead of cream. memes about leading travelers off the path.

If you have seriously created a list of one left-leaning woman’s followers with the express purpose to mock or block them and encourage others to do so, you’re doing me the favour of blocking you in advance.

In case you were wondering, that’s what a President looks like.

Take a good, long look. It’s going to be awhile before we see it again.
New on MSNBC: Vice President Harris will fly back to Los Angeles today with an all-female U.S. Air Force crew — the first time an all-female crew has operated a C-33.
 
Upon landing, Harris will visit a local fire station and then distribute food to community members impacted by the wildfires.
