A paramilitary group plotted to overthrow the Constitution then conducted a violent attack on America. They were convicted in court of seditious conspiracy, and jailed. Then the leader they aimed to illegally install got power and let them out, their records wiped clean. The Jan. 6 attackers won.

Lloyd Robertson has died. One of the absolute highlights of my professional life to date was during a live stream during pandemic where I got to say β€œBack to you, Lloyd” TO Lloyd. (picture from a book release around 2011)

Mitch McConnell’s communications director’s silence and smirk speak volumes. If he were fine, or even improving, she’d just say so. There’s no way this man is coming back.

When I was moving out from the husband I was about to divorce, his brother helped load my paltry belongings into a company truck, & as we were about to get in the truck to drive away, my husband asked me to make him a sandwich.

Many people are saying that since Mitch being absent is better for Democrats politically, we shouldn't do anything to try to find out if he's dead. But I think that's short-sighted. If we go along with a scam to keep a dead person in office just because it benefits us, we're becoming corrupted.

We have to hold fast to the principles of democracy, and the people of Kentucky deserve representation even if they choose horrible people to represent them. They deserve to know the truth about whether their senator died. We have a chance to show voters in every state that we care about them.

It's really weird how hard it is to get some people to understand that basic life essentials are not like stocks. No one is hoarding food in the hopes of future profit. Even the people who DO hoard food are doing it because they expect society to collapse, not because they intend to later profit.

So far I've heard two equally-absurd but mutually-exclusive reasons why we can't make food affordable. 1. If food became affordable, people would immediately start hoarding far more than they need, depleting the food supply.

AND, also too, 2. If food became affordable people would STOP buying it, waiting for the price to drop even more, to maximize their returns. Neither of those are how food works. People just want to buy their favorites again like they used to be able to do.
