'Are you better off than you were four years ago?'

Some of Trump’s very fine people discussing law and order.

Exhibit eleventy million for why we choose the bear.

Yes! The Supreme Court is broken. It must be repaired.

The rule of law is essential in a vibrant and functioning democracy. No one is above the law.

I've also received and accepted an invitation to a debate hosted by ABC on Tuesday, September 10th.
