I am incredibly sad for the residents of Lewiston as well as the state of Maine. I have hoped that we would not join the growing list of cities and states that have suffered a mass casualty event (i.e. a horrendous shooting spree). Alas, we are not immune. Every day, 120 Americans are killed with

I am horrified and growing increasingly impatient.

Those sentiments don’t solve the problem. Moreover, no longer will I sit idly by and listen to these Republicans

The new Speaker of the U.S. House, Mike Johnson, is extremely right wing. He devised and supported a legal strategy to overturn the 2020 presidential election based on lies about massive voter fraud. He was prominent in defending Trump against impeachment and advocated expunging the second impeachment from the record.  He wants to raise the

Another mass shooting occurred in Maine last week, and it’s a guarantee your elected officials will fail to do anything to prevent future ones. Whose fault is that?
