Trump and Witkoff are Prolonging the War Also, Happy Thanksgiving! And a Christmas Book list...

“… Witkoff’s motives matter less than the consequences of his actions. Neither he, nor Trump, nor J.D. Vance seem to realize that by offering favors to Russia, and by insisting, against the evidence, that Ukraine is about to collapse, they are prolonging the war.”

America’s Children Are Unwell. Are Schools Part of the Problem?

Defunding education, NCLB, and now stripping professionalism for our teachers…

We need to look to international success stories for a way out of this mess.

Gen Z tell your stories. You are the change!

Trump calling for members of Congress to be hanged is not great, in my humble opinion.

How the Plymouth Pilgrims took over Thanksgiving – and who history left behind In some ways, Thanksgiving is a tradition that unites Americans. But the classic image of the Pilgrims obscures important parts of the country’s story.

Let’s peel back the curtain and end this exploitation and sexual abuse since

“… a majority of people would prefer to live in a world where a child does not have to sell her body to older men in order to save enough money to get braces on her teeth.”

We stand with survivors everywhere. Release the files, and jail the PDFs, including the ones in the White House.

Truth Is Rising Again When the lies collapse, voters don’t whisper; they revolt. From small suburbs to the big cities, the truth is finally rising, drowning out the GOP fearmongering that once held this country hostage.

“Because the truth is simple: people want a functioning life, not a culture-war bedtime story.”

If you think the people throwing Great Gatsby-esque parties for themselves, while millions were denied their food assistance, are all of a sudden going to grow a conscience and save affordable healthcare, you clearly have not been paying attention.

Bernie Sanders: "What this Senate is about to do is make a horrific situation even worse. So let's be clear what this vote is about. If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are gonna see at least a doubling in their premiums in the ACA."

To be clear: D senators trusting R senators who promise a vote on ACA subsidies at some future point is nothing more that a liar convincing a sucker. A sucker for believing the lie, and for believing that Johnson will ever bring it up in the House.

The “Sellout Caucus.” November 10, 2025

“This collapse is also a failure of Democratic leadership. Senators Schumer and Durbin should resign from their leadership positions on Sunday evening, as they are obviously incapable of leading the Democratic caucus”

Why? I’m looking at both NV Senators!!!

Today in Politics, Bulletin 237. 10/27/25 … Trump was asked on Air Force One on the way to South Korea whether he would do what Steve Bannon suggested and try to run for a 3rd term by running as a VP with a puppet candidate on the top of the ...

Gov. Tim Walz: “We have a federal system that we’re all in it together, that we help other states when they need it…They are trying to provide specific aid to states that they like at the moment…Either give us aid or give us our money back and we’ll deal with it.”

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).
