Mark Kelly’s answer to Trump’s escalation was not a slogan, not a rehearsed sound bite, but a ledger of sacrifice laid plainly before the country. He reminded Americans where he was while Trump was chasing casinos, bragging about skyscrapers, and surrounding himself with scandal. Kelly was flying combat missions. He was carrying a 9 11…
Bernie Sanders is trying to force a choice before it is too late. Let artificial intelligence deepen inequality and militarize the planet, or harness it to rewrite the social contract itself. His Thirty Two Hour Workweek Act is more than a labor proposal. It is a line drawn in the sand over who owns the…
