                The U.S. Census Bureau said July 9 that it received 531,423 business applications in June on a seasonally adjusted basis, capping what was for the first half of the year the highest sustained rate of such applications in the 22-year history of the series.

                        I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but it's almost like the GOP is secretly promoting the Democratic Socialists of America, which is producing a lot of the energy and excitement in the Democratic and Republican parties.

                            A defining moment from John McCain’s 2008 campaign is being revisited as a reminder of political integrity, highlighting the importance of correcting misinformation — even within one’s own party — in today’s polarized climate.

                            I am a Democrat, and I am quite tired of being called a communist by the Republicans.
