I'm listening to Heather McGhee's The Sum of Us, and I have a better understanding of the current mess, from increasing income inequality and the political dysfunction and corruption that have reached an astounding crescendo

$937,989.39: That's the amount of the penalty owed by Trump and Alina Habba, according to a new appeals court decision, which upheld a 2023 ruling that Trump and Habba committed "sanctionable conduct" by filing a "frivolous" lawsuit against Hillary Clinton and James Comey.

We just heard that Republicans want to give Argentina $40 billion in American taxpayer dollars, instead of the original $20 billion. They're leaving family farmers in the dust and it's egregious.

There are violent extremists on the left but they are not in charge of the party. You can find them on social media, not in the halls of power. The violent extremists on the right are in congress, on courts, and sitting in the Oval Office.

Eleven more libraries will reopen on Sundays, thanks to the leadership of the City Council. They never should've been closed in the first place. As Mayor, I'll end this absurd budget dance that keeps our beloved libraries in limbo year after year.

11 more NYC libraries will soon open on Sundays
A $2 million City Council deal will expand seven-day service to more than 30 branches citywide.

Republicans work hard to make racism acceptable to their base by vitriolic fear mongering and scapegoating. These people pretend to be good church going Christians while all along their hearts are filled with greed and hate. History will not be kind to them.
WHEN THIS IS OVER, WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE TURNED BACK ON, IT WILL BECOME CLEAR THAT THERE WERE ONLY TWO KINDS OF PEOPLE: THOSE WHO STOOD AGAINST TRUMP'S CORRUPTION, CRUELTY AND DEGRADATION OF AMERICAN VALUES, AND THOSE WHO ENABLED HIM.
