Hoping for something special on Monday when Robert Mueller has promised to unseal the first legal action relating to his probe of Russia’s involvement in the election? Speculation is rampant and the Republicans must be nervous or they wouldn’t be…
We learned this week that the Republican Party is so concerned about religious rights that they’ll compromise women’s health and allow people who are supposedly committed to love and compassion to discriminate against fellow human beings who love differently than…
Take that, you John McCain you. And NFL players who kneel for the national anthem? You need to speak the way we want you to speak. And hit harder, man! Be like Aaron Hernandez. But what’s happening with Stephen Curry you ask? We…

I go back and forth about whether there is such a thing as fate. This is one of those weeks where I believe. The shooting of the Republican congressional baseball team in Alexandria is terrible enough, and predictably, the right…
