My newspaper is in a polyamorous relationship with a billionaire and a president. Should I intervene?
My daughter is in a polyamorous relationship with a married couple who are trying to have a baby. She plans to adopt the baby as a “third parent.” I don’t like the man and am worried for her. Should I intervene?

Every Republican candidate this fall should be constantly asked, “Does this have any affect on your self-respect when you sit there and say nothing?”
WOW -- Danish reporter *goes there* with Rutte
"You sit next to Trump when he talks about conquering Greenland, lashes out at allies like Spain -- things it doesn't seem like the old Mark Rutte would approve of. Does this have any affect on your self-respect when you sit there and say nothing?"

I wrote a few words about the tragedy of Tom Emmer for @ms.now www.ms.now/opinion/tom-...
Opinion | What Tom Emmer said about Somalis was racist. What's worse is he doesn't believe it.
Michael Tisserand: Before he went MAGA, the House Majority Whip defended Somalis and praised their assimilation.
