Please take the time to listen to George's story and share it. Even if you're a Trump supporter. Just put yourself in this man's shoes for a minute. No one should face this kind of brutality from their own government - let alone a veteran with three kids was just trying to

Well said. If the president won’t implement programs that congress has approved as the constitution requires, then how can a self respecting congress vote for anything? Even if they get healthcare, Trump may not fund it.

This commentary offers a clear, powerful statement of why freedom of speech is at the heart of democracy and must be defended, whether the speaker is Charlie Kirk or Jimmy Kimmel, MAGA supporters or MAGA opponents.

Trump is using the FCC to force media companies to punish and fire his enemies and then celebrating it. This is a massive assault on the first amendment and I hope all the comedians and people who claim to hate cancel culture and censorship will speak up now.

Listened to @TuckerCarlson's interview with @megynkelly today and was glad to hear both of them criticize AG Bondi's comments about criminalizing "hate speech." There's a bipartisan consensus that criminalizing speech is a dangerous path we don't want to go down.

The project is great news. Issue 7–the largest expansion and commitment to public transit in our region’s history—was designed in part to catalyze dense new investments, not to thwart them. Metro can and should be flexible and accommodate this exciting project.
This project will be an interesting test of the City of Cincinnati's commitment to Bus Rapid Transit. The developers want on-street parallel parking, but Metro's plan calls for the removal of all on-street parking in favor of bus-only lanes.

Nuance and righteousness from Bono.
On Gaza - Everyone has long been horrified by what is unfolding in Gaza - but the blocking of humanitarian aid and now plans for a military takeover of Gaza City has taken the conflict into uncharted territory. We are not experts in the politics of the region, but we want our

Aid must be permitted to reach people in Gaza. There is no justification for keeping food and water away from civilian families.

After 21 months of devastating conflict with Israel, Gaza’s most vulnerable civilians — the young, the old and the sick — are facing what aid groups say is impending famine.

While a lasting resolution to the crisis in Gaza must involve a return of all hostages and a cessation of Israel’s military operations, these articles underscore the immediate need for action to be taken to prevent the travesty of innocent people dying of preventable starvation.

I am following with great concern the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza, where the civilian population is suffering from severe hunger and remains exposed to violence and death. I renew my heartfelt appeal for a ceasefire, the release of hostages, and the full respect of

In my experience, telling people they shouldn’t care about things they care about never works. And when the thing is a mass child trafficking operation it is only fair to demand a full accounting and justice, especially for the victims.
Trump says only "pretty bad people" want more information about the Epstein case...An Economist/Yougov poll released today found that 79% of US adults think the government should "release all the documents that it has about the Jeffrey Epstein case"

This smelled bad in 2017. Why did Trump nominate the guy who cut a sweetheart deal with Jeffrey Epstein to join his first Cabinet? I voted against his confirmation. He got in anyway but resigned soon due to the Epstein scandal. And now Trump is protecting Bondi for sweeping it

Progressives must be consistently for free speech & not censor books because they disagree with the views of the author. What's next? Will the store no longer sell the Republic because Plato accepted slavery as part of ancient Greek society?
A bookstore in San Francisco announces it will no longer sell titles by J.K. Rowling, including her popular “Harry Potter” series, due to the author’s anti-transgender views and advocacy.
