Perhaps "post-empathy" would be more appropriate, though.

Miss Havisham cordially invites you to the forthcoming nuptials of her “daughter” Estella, to Philip “Pip” Pirrip.

“Five of the state’s nine full-time maternal-fetal medicine specialists have left or will leave their jobs by the end of this year, according to doctors at St Luke’s medical center.”

Sad to see this happening in all GOP-controlled states, but especially sad for me to see it in Idaho, just as Boise was becoming a place where progressives could feel at home.

Thirteen years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment.

Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors.

Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

I mentioned to my girlfriend that I needed to stop at a used bookstore. She asked why I couldn’t just read one of the hundreds of unread books already on my shelves.

What an asinine headline

Who cares how much the investigation costs?

Not doing the investigation will cost us our democracy

Trump’s golf trips have already cost the American taxpayer over $144,000,000.00
His 31 trips to Mar-a-Lago cost $60,138,000
And to Bedminster $23,515,000

Lock that douche bag up with his golf pants half down 🇺🇸
