On Tuesday, the Democratic Party got 51 percent of the vote statewide. This got the Democrats… 30 percent of the seats in the state legislature.

The U.S. Supreme Court was a critical accessory after the fact.

| In a building teeming with addiction and violence, it dawned on me: The VA is not in the business of serving veterans like me. It would take me years, still, to figure out the secret to getting the safe housing and benefits I deserved. |
