Can we literally survive this? Most of us, probably. What will the soul of the country come out looking like at the other end, though?

I’m not sure if she was the first of anything, but Tammy Duckworth won her seat in Illinois. But I keep checking just to make sure it’s really true.

When the plane hit my father was not but a hundred feet from the…

“And if your cousin is the one I hope she is, I love her so much”
