If NFL owners want to censor who performs in stadiums, they shouldn't ask taxpayers to help build them.

You can't take public subsidies for stadiums then use them as your personal editorial board.

Pay for it all out of your own pocket and hold as many Kid Rock concerts as you want to.

I feel safe walking around my south Seattle neighborhood and I am 54.

42 is officially young, by the way.
Had some relatives from MO visiting me the other month and they asked if "I feel safe" walking around my north Seattle neighborhood and I was like, "yeah of course" and they were like "well, you're young".

I'm 42, guys.

Trump packed the Kennedy Center board, tried to strip Rep. Joyce Beatty of her vote, and called her "incompetent."

No amount of ads attacking trans people is going to sabe Republicans this fall. It's a sign of weakness and desperation that they keep trying to distract with it.

Do you have any idea how much better things would be right now if Kamala and Tim were in the White House? What if we had elected Al Gore? Hillary Clinton? America needs some soul-searching.
