“Out of touch” isn’t it. A president who gilds the Oval Office in gold, slaps his own name on a cultural institution, tears down the East Wing for his own vanity project, and then tells us the affordability crisis is all in our heads. It’s not out of touch; it’s contempt for the people he governs.

If you don't get your vaccine and get measles, you did it to yourself. However, they also endanger innocent people such as children too young to get vaccinated and people with compromised immune systems. What happened to caring about other people besides yourself? Some of us still do.

Watching my daughter grow up without evangelical religious trauma is breathtaking. She’s not scared of a hell, or a god who would condemn her to everlasting torture, and she’s never heard of a rapture. Growing up without that fear really does something good to a young person.

She has the microphone. She has immunity. If her concern were really about the victims, names in The Epstein Files would be said out loud — on the House floor. Silence isn’t caution. It’s a choice.
