Good to see some of you are still pissing at each other.

Hoping for some strong head winds for you.

Age has nothing to do with it.

I wonder how mr. bent feels about the bureaucrats who administer the Medicare program? And the ones who probably ensure that his Social Security payments show up on time?

I'd always thought of photo ops as part of a public advocate's job but I like the idea of bringing some radical honesty in there. Can't just be about the cameras. You need to be living that life for real.

You think you're going to kiss a baby? Need to be walking into diners every day and kissing every baby in there. You're going to hold a Bible upside down in the air? Better be standing in the courtyard with your hand and your Bible up on the regular.

Your ability to bike or cross the street safely is absolutely a matter of infrastructure.

We're not going to accept crashes as inevitable. Not when thousands of Americans, disproportionately from communities of color, die each year as a result. The American Jobs Plan will invest $20 billion in road safety programs to help pedestrians and cyclists get around with ease.
