11 Last Minute Christmas Gift Ideas for Everyone Left on Your List
 
You know where you won't find a good last-minute gift? The drug store. Believe us, we've tried. Nor is a wad of cash really in the holiday spirit of things. But you're stressed! I'm stressed! We're all stressed! There's no way a "quick trip to Macy's" will be fruitful (or quick). Nevertheless, you need a present for someone you care about that doesn't suck. Here is where we can help. Below are 11 ideas for subscriptions and/or gift cards that'll hook them up with legitimately cool services—grooming boxes, booze clubs, online skill courses—that they can enjoy well into the new year. Choose one you like, and you'll be sent an email or printable certificate you can pass along immediately. You could literally choose one of these gifts as you stand outside the front porch of the Christmas party, one second away from ringing the doorbell, and it'd still arrive in time. Now that's last-minute. Here's hoping the rest of your holiday season is significantly less stressful. Read More
 
   
 
 
 
 
There Are No Transformative Figures in the Democratic Field—Only Transformative Ideas

Spoiler Warning: There is a great disturbance of maximum cuteness in the Force. He is small but powerful. He is tough, but kind of adorable too. The internet loves him. Nope. We're not talking about Baby Yoda. Sorry. It is time to bow down to the new Supreme Leader of Adorable Positive Vibes in the Star Wars Universe: Babu Frik.

Elizabeth Warren and Mayor Pete Buttigieg Illustrated a Sharp Divide in Democratic Politics
 
We were spared during Thursday's Democratic debate from yet another 45-minute back-and-forth over the merits of various healthcare plans, none of which are likely to survive the antidemocratic gauntlet of the Senate.
