Mail-in voting is SAFE for the 2026 election. The Supreme Court just blocked USPS from rolling out new restrictions that would have disenfranchised voters who rely on mail-in ballots for reasons like disability, distance, or work schedules. Full statement here: www.lwv.org/newsroom/pre...

I dig those archaeological sites. 😜

I got to visit the city of Pompeii, Italy back in 2019. It was incredible.

That's a good point, actually. Our justification for the embargo is that they are communist, but we engage in trade with communist China and Russia.

Indeed! There is ENORMOUS value in independent agencies that are not beholden to any particular executive administration.

It’s interesting that Fed Chair Kevin Warsh raised interest rates even though Trump had pushed for lower rates. It shows how the Fed can make decisions based on Inflation and the economy instead of what the president wants. #StudentsTalkPolitics

I LOVE that @pbsnews.org asks: "Bring this down to the household level . . . " Many of these public issues can be complicated and we desperately need good journalism to help us understand the world around us.

My sister was working in midtown Manhattan on 9/11. My family and I were frantically trying to reach her on the phone, but this is BEFORE everyone and their brother had a cell phone. We finally reached her as she was leaving work and trying to make her way back to Queens.

The only video footage of the attack on the Pentagon is not good quality. I had questions for years about it since it didn't appear to me to look like a plane had hit the building.

I was at work in Minneapolis heading into a department meeting. As we entered the conference room, one of my colleagues said, "Hey, did y'all hear about a plane hitting the Twin Towers?" We all shrugged and figured it was some kind of small plane that has a terrible accident.
