Disgusted to hear of the targeted shooting of National Guard members in DC today. All Americans should unite in condemning and rejecting this violence. Sending prayers to these victims and their families, and thankful to the responders who acted so quickly.

We ran cross country in Van Cortland in high school. 2.5 miles. 16 minutes was my best time. Top guys were 14 plus. I remember the hills, the leaves, the ruts, the grass, exhaustion. My teammates Robert Clark and Robert Bartolini were among the best in the City.

About 40% of SNAP recipients are children. Around half of ALL children in the country are covered by Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program.
And the so-called “party of family values” gutted both programs by billions of dollars.
Doesn’t sound very pro-family to me.

The 2020 Georgia election case is going to be dismissed in its entirety, with the prosecutor offering less-than-persuasive reasoning. A miscarriage of justice that weakens our democracy.

The role of anti-Catholicism in framing the American Revolution
Anti-Catholicism was not a central force driving the colonists to revolt, but it played a role, shaping their political beliefs in profound ways, writes NCR columnist Michael Sean Winters.
