@BretBaier What Juan et al are saying about Dem moderation is all wrong. Add up Bernie+Warren vote in most states and it is way more than Biden

At the very least, Tesla is providing free business school case studies for years to come. So, that’s something...

Great news for those of us who don’t want rural Missouri (and their students) to be left behind.

This is not the kind of number we need. Please, if you can work a hammer, please consider building a house.

“Although homes are being built with vigor and we are far from a housing slump, there is something to worry about: All this construction isn’t doing much to increase the supply of homes that are affordable to first-time buyers." - Holden Lewis, Nerdwallet
