A logical statement must occupy a single truth value—true or false, but never simultaneously both. In the words of T. H. Huxley, “Logical consequences are the scarecrows of fools and the beacons of wise men.”

Sen. Chris Murphy: "Right now members of Congress are being denied the ability to see the damage at these bases because there's a coverup underway. There's a coverup underway to try to hide the cost of this war and the debacle it has caused in the region."

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

At the Minnesota State Fair today, feeling proud seeing our new state flag flying over the grounds. Walked past the RNC booth — and, of course, they had the old flag up, clinging to a symbol with a racist history.

Retaining Lake Ontario honors Indigenous naming traditions and the layered history of the region. Renaming it “Lake of America” centers a national identity over the original peoples and shared Canadian–U.S. stewardship. It is illogical.

We have a new message for Democrats: attack attack attack. Trump is corrupt, he’s butchered the economy, and his DOJ operates like mob lawyers. And every voter knows it. So stop looking backward. Stop with the endless focus groups. This isn't complicated. He’s weak. Finish him.

We all know that President Ineptstein and some of his supporters will attempt to disrupt the midterm elections. We need to have states make preparations to protect our right to vote.

This is getting so absurd it’s starting to feel like the geopolitical version of a sitcom plot twist — the kind where you pause, blink twice, and think, “Ah yes, of course that happened today. Why wouldn’t it?”

His tenure has coincided with a decline in America’s global standing. His performance in office reflects a lack of fitness for the role, repeated failures in leadership, and ineffective negotiation outcomes that have weakened national credibility.

Climate change is a straightforward result of adding greenhouse gases to Earth’s system: more CO₂ traps more heat, and that extra heat alters the planet’s physical conditions. The evidence is measurable and consistent — rising CO₂, rising temperatures, warming oceans, and melting ice. It is logical.

The future of our planet depends on people willing to stand up for science and the truth. I’m so grateful to the scientists who walked to D.C. to deliver letters demanding action on climate change.

If someone wants credit for “stopping over 100 wars” or “working harder than any American,” the least they could do is offer evidence. Public service isn’t measured by self‑promotion or inflated numbers; it’s measured by verifiable results.

If a foreign government handed over an ultra‑luxury aircraft, taxpayers paid for extensive upgrades, and the plane ultimately wound up under the personal control of a Democratic president, the political and legal backlash would be immediate.

Thank you Marcie. So many children suffering, so many children dying, in the USA & around the world. A lot of the suffering & death is because of US policy. Those that are creating the policies must be removed!

Putting a million people on Mars in his lifetime is like expecting a fully functioning city to appear overnight on the dark side of the moon — not technically forbidden by physics, just wildly incompatible with the pace at which reality tends to cooperate.

In January, Zohran Mamdani took action against bankrupt landlord Pinnacle, which was responsible for over 5,000 housing violations. Thanks to his intervention, Pinnacle's new owners have forgiven millions in tenants' back rent. This is what governing for the people looks like.
