To the point about getting our house in order, I like to think the domestic tide is turning. Over the past couple of weeks, we had:

- Olympians speaking out against what is happening in the US,

- The Bad Bunny Half Time show embracing a message of peace over divide,

- 4 GOP members of Congress voting with all of the Democrats to block Mike Johnson's attempt to limit Congress's ability to check Trump's tariff power

- More members of the GOP voice their displeasure with Trump's racist 'truth'

- The Democratic performance in the special elections deep in the heart of Republican territory

Alone, you could say they are one-offs. But together, they signal a bigger message: Americans are tired of the divisive, corrupt, dangerous, unaffordable period of the past year. And as the people of Minneapolis have shown, there is strength in numbers.
