Gun reform is slower than molasses. Geez.

But, given the makeup of Congress, this is one of the few strategies available to pro-gun reform Dems.

Crossing fingers something productive comes out of this state-level approach.

Co-founder of Moms For Liberty and co-author of Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” law is a hypocrite. Who would have guessed? Now the rest of the Sarasota School Board wants her to step down.

“Hunter Biden” is just a noise Republicans make when they are desperate to avoid talking about something else.

Figure out what that something is, and relentlessly drive the topic of conversation back to that.

Talk of Hunter Biden is a sign of weakness and should be treated as such.

The House Rules Committee ranking member said that "Americans will see that this impeachment sham is a national disgrace, designed by extreme Republicans to distract from their incompetence and help Donald Trump."
