Husband. Father. Historian. I write (occasionally). I take pictures (frequently). I care about democracy (always). And: context matters.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 325-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

1. Democrats win control of the House and Senate. 2. Investigations and prosecutions begin. 3. Impeachment and removal proceedings. 4. Take back the billions of taxpayer money corruptly taken by the Trump family and their accomplices. 5. Rinse and repeat.

Donald Trump incited a violent insurrection to reject the peaceful transfer of power & deny the people's will. He never should have been able to run again. GOP senators condemning Jack Smith for conducting a fact-based investigation as politics & worse are engaged in treachery of the worst order.

Gobsmacked by the elite levels of not knowing ball in the Senate today, thinking an NBA team is called the Hawkeyes then, refusing to Google it, then accusing a guy of treason because you didn’t know the Iowa Lady Hawkeyes aren’t in the NBA. Somehow I don’t trust these people to Save Girls Sports.

When authoritarians get backed into a corner, they lash out and resort to fear-mongering. This is why Trump is running ominous taxpayer funded ads. But we’re going to organize our friends and neighbors, turn out to vote in November, and deliver a resounding blue wave. Spread the word.

They sent my client a cease-and-desist letter for this ad in PA's hotly contested 6th Senate District. As I wrote back, "We will neither cease nor desist from engaging in this truthful, accurate speech." Here's the "Data Senator" ad which Republicans don't want Lower Bucks residents to see.

Trump’s ICE thugs shot 28-year-old Wilber Rafael Garces Perez through his car window as he was delivering food yesterday in Austin, Texas. His wife and lawyer were reportedly denied access to see him in the hospital, and ICE is now trying to deport him. This violence must end. Abolish ICE.

Democracy depends on a fearless and free press. Without press freedom, we do not truly live in a free society. This is why I urge the news media to boycott the White House in response to Trump's ban on CNN, MS Now, and Politico. Giving in to tyranny only invites more of it.

Earlier this afternoon, the U.S. Senate Agriculture Committee passed its Farm Bill out of committee by a 12-11 party-line vote. The bill fails to extend essential SNAP funding, and does not do nearly enough to help farmers in need. Read our full statement here: www.iatp.org/senate-farmb...

Read it slow: he told a crowd he doesn't care if they're registered, just go cheat like the other side does. That's not a gaffe, it's an instruction, on camera, with his own name attached. Every Republican in that arena who cheered instead of walking out owns this too. Fuck you.

I'm not sure that pissing off Canada is such a smart move. Remember what happened after American troops looted York (Ontario) in 1813? No? Someone burned the White House down. But that's no longer an option--because the idiot attacking Canada has already destroyed the White House.
