Khanna: "We have to understand how abnormal this is. You don't mock someone and put a video out about how they look. You don't ever mock people's ethnicity. How do you negotiate with that? And how have we made this normal?"

Americans still believing they are somehow better than everyone else is pathetic. Honestly, at this moment in time, there is nothing worse than being on the downward spiral that is American...except maybe being Russian or North Korean. Hard to break old habits, eh?

Expanding #Churchill’s 100-year-old deepwater port is high on Prime Minister Mark #Carney’s nation-building agenda. I visited the ‘polar bear capital of the world’ to hear what locals think of the plan. youtu.be/w535909EHLM

Everyone’s health insurance premiums could skyrocket and millions could lose their health care. Congress must permanently extend the ACA’s tax credits. Nobody can afford this health care crisis, and time is running out.

It's called "following the law." A tough concept for Carrie's folks these days, but here we are. As I wrote on Friday: www.lawdork.com/p/scotus-imp...

Looks like Barney has finally had enough of Florida's bullshit.

America is trash. People voted in a certified felon who tried to overturn an election and incited a breaking of windows, bedlam at the capitol. They see nothing wrong with it. This country is not on a downslope, it's at the foothills of the slope. People here have no ideals of right or wrong.

The New Forest feels very exotic compared to the Cairngorms. Lots of peculiar birdsong and other weird noises. Does anyone know what this weird drilling noise is? It sounded like insects but I'm not sure tbh.

Imagine being the President of the United States and posting this. How embarassing.
