Some Garzonging Advice
There are roughly 800,000 federal employees affected by Donald Trump's government shutdown and will have to wait to receive back pay if any at all.

Happy New Year, Baby
Out of all the god-awful, horrifying horrible stuff Donald Trump has inflicted upon this nation, and there's been a lot, perhaps his greatest offense has been his administration's treatment of migrant children.

Go Fund Yourself
Have you talked to a Trump sycophant lately about the border wall? I have. Many of them are arguing that Mexico will pay for the wall, Mexico is currently paying for the wall through the new NAFTA (that's not how it works), the wall is currently being built, and we need to shut down the...
