BREAKING: Trump is out on bail in 4 criminal cases. He posted a photo of the president bound, gagged, and shot. Threatening a president is a federal crime and also a violation of bail release conditions. Time for courts to act.

Whether you know her as Edith Maxwell/Maddie Day or Maddie Day, you are going to love her newest series.

Last night, @joebiden gave a great speech outlining the choices in this election. Even though the State of the Union audience is large, most voters didn't tune in. The only way to beat the Right-Wing Noise Machine is to share this ad with as many people as possible.

(Not So) FUN FACTS:
Al Gore won 543,895 more votes than George W. Bush.
Hillary Clinton won 2,868,686 more votes than #PO1135809 .

Representation is key -- always.

It is permissible in English for a preposition to be what you end a sentence with.

The idea that it should be avoided came from writers who were trying to align the language with Latin, but there is no reason to suggest ending a sentence with a preposition is wrong.

My final message of today. The year Jaime was killed, her dance team kept her space in the routine. That empty chair was Jaime's spot. Just imagine your child in the empty chair. If you don't want this preventable carnage to continue, VOTE IN 24 FOR GUN VIOLENCE PREVENTION.

Woke up to no snow. Rain. Sigh.
