Last month, my daughter Margot was stillborn at 6 months. On yesterday's @PodSaveAmerica , I talked about grief, healing, and the need for people - especially men - to talk more openly about miscarriage and loss. Here's the clip. Hope it helps someone else:

My wife and I had multiple, soul-crushing miscarriages, and one still born daughter before we were able to have children. Millions of parents are desperate to have kids but simply can't. Treating people without children like they are lesser human beings is unbelievably cruel.

Political leaders should have children. Certainly they should at least be married. If you aren’t running or can’t run a household of your own, how can you relate to a constituency of families, or govern wisely with respect to future generations? Skin in the game matters

Brennan to Noem: "At the very end of the book, you say the very first thing you'd do if you got to the White House is you'd make sure Biden's dog is nowhere on the grounds. 'Commander, say hello to cricket.'" Noem responds by suggesting Commander should be put down

No politician consistently looks as petty and small as Ted Cruz. He is the human equivalent of a flaccid penis in a freezing cold pool.

Look...before we go down an endless cycle of pearl clutching and calls for civility, can we just be honest that everyone wins here? Biden gets to vent. Democrats get to laugh. Doocy gets endless amounts of air time playing the victim. No one apologize. Just laugh and move on.

Robert Hur clearly decided to go down the Jim Comey path of filling his report absolving Biden of criminal activity with ad hominem attacks, like calling him an "elderly man with poor memory." Not remotely subtle. Just a right-wing hit job from within Biden's own DOJ. Wild.

The country is divided like never before, but there's an obvious, easy way to bring us together: expel @tedcruz from the US Senate. Come on, @senatemajldr @LindseyGrahamSC . Give yourself, and frankly all of us, the gift of not having him around.
