It took 16 months to pay off my husband's student loans after we got married. It's a feat that he couldn't have accomplished as a single person.

To tweet or not to tweet, now that Elon's the boss

My plan was to dither.

Attack on Paul Pelosi should be condemned by everyone

Violence has no place in American politics. It does not belong at the homes of politicians or judges. It does not belong at congressional baseball practice. It does not belong on Capitol Hill as lawmakers certify the electoral count in a presidential election.
