Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

@NPR.org, might you tell your correspondents to cut it out with the “sort of”s and “kind of”s? I’ve heard “sort of absolutely,” “kind of extremely,” and worse. Ten of these in a single story makes reportage sound like guessing. Also, no authoritative answer to a question begins with “So yeah...”

We should be investing in rural communities and making them better places to build a life & raise a family - not shutting down rural hospitals by choking off their funding. Saving rural hospitals is one more reason to call your Representative and speak out against this GOP attempt to cut Medicaid.

Hundreds of rural hospitals are at risk of closing, threatening critical care
Hospital officials told CBS News the closure was driven by the same factors that have closed other rural hospitals: low reimbursement rates.

A refresher from the #Picasso Museum in #Paris about what can happen when an autocratic head of state makes himself the "decider" of what is and is not art. [Also a h/t to @MelBrooks for his Schnappsed-up Nazi playwright in "The Producers."] My column: www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

Commentary: 'Degenerate' or 'woke,' Paris museum exhibit shows what happens to art in the crosshairs of politics
As President Trump launches an offensive against 'woke' art, the Picasso Museum shows the kind of works that the Nazis singled out decades ago for mockery or destruction.
