Can we return 2026 like a pair of boots that cut into your foot, or a gallon of milk that clearly lacked some refrigeration?

It's still January. Maybe there is a 30-day return policy.

Or we could hope it is one of those nightmares that feel real, and then you are relieved to wake up to find, were not.

That would be good. 

Renee Good has no more mornings. The federal administration said she was committing domestic terrorism. Minneapolis and Minnesota leaders disagreed. So have protestors around the U.S. since then.

You know what does have a return policy?

Congress, thanks to the electoral process. Keep who you want and move on with them and any new members you choose, and hope the nation goes in the direction you want, domestically and internationally, whether it is the current course or a turnaround.

Some returns carry a restocking fee. But how much did those boots cost you? And what's going to happen if you keep wearing them?
