For the past forty-plus years, Republicans—just like dysfunctional HOAs—have been stealing from America’s future.

We need to show up now: in numbers that cannot be manipulated, in a show of strength and resolve that is simply unalterable, in a moment so immune from pollution that it will be undeniable.

Joe Biden didn’t hug a flag or hold a Bible in some pathetic, pandering photo-op. He didn’t stand in front of a church or crassly parade the uniform of a dead firefighter on stage. He simply modeled both his faith and his patriotism.

There are many lessons to be learned from this year’s election. The main one right now, though, is that because the RNC failed three times to protect America from a dictatorial madman that job now falls to us.

If Trump and Vance are elected, under the rules defined by Republicans on the Supreme Court they’ll become our first king and king-in-waiting.

Who would have ever imagined that that man who has made the world's largest science-based fortune would get on the Qanon bandwagon and join the anti-science crowd.

MAGAs may be self-identified Christians but from the outside the title is suspect. They aren't "Little Christs" They aren't "followers of the Way." They aren't even Evangelicals. They are merely "Little Trumps."

From the founding of our republic, protecting the power of the press to call out anti-democratic behavior has been a firewall, protecting our form of government. It is their job.
