Choose to focus your time, energy and conversation around people who inspire you, support you and help you to grow you into your happiest, strongest, wisest self.

Early childhood education remains one of the strongest investments we can make in the long-term success of our students and the long-term economic strength of our communities.

Amateurism is the strongest form of discrimination in sports. Because it discriminates against the underprivileged, it discriminates against the poor. If we want sports to go back to the wealthy, let's make it amateur again.

In my view, targeted lethal force is at its least controversial when it is on its strongest, most traditional legal foundation.
