What I Would Like to See at Schloss Sigmaringen Is it too much to ask for them to show EXACTLY what I'd like to see?

Why can’t castles show me the royal knick-knacks I’m hungry for?

The Founders knew Congress - especially the House - was the backbone of U.S. democracy. It should be a huge story that Mike Johnson, serving Trump, has all but shut it down

From the Reichstag Fire to Putin's toothless Duma, this is what dictators do. My new column www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

"As someone who has the cultural background of a grandfather who was killed fighting fascism in Greece, that's sort of embedded in my brain." Dr. Demetre Daskalakis sees eugenics at play in RFK Jr's anti-vaccine perspective.

Elon Musk: Pollution Salesman Elon Musk is not in the car business; he is a pollution salesman.

Tesla made $405M last quarter — but only by selling $595M in emissions credits. Musk is not in the car business. He’s a pollution salesman. #ElonMusk #Tesla

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium.

ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

What an unbelievable asshole.
