Let's hear it for President Dealmaker, who negotiated and signed USMCA (calling it the “best and most important trade deal ever made"), then ran against it, won, and breached it while asking "who would ever sign a thing like this?' from the same desk where he signed it, and now won't renew it.

US Decides Against Renewing USMCA, Shifting to Rolling Talks

The US won’t renew its trade deal with Canada and Mexico, choosing instead to conduct annual reviews of the pact in a decision that risks adding uncertainty for companies producing goods across North ...

FDR was not perfect by any means. Eleanor behind-the-scenes had a lot to do with his success. But he was one of the most consequential presidents in US history, IMO...

Suzanne Vega releases “Luka” 39 years ago this weekend. She said she once received a fan letter about it: “Dear Suzanne, Luka is the most compelling piece of music I’ve heard in a long time. There are no words 2 tell U all the things I feel when I hear it. I thank God 4 U, Prince”

My favorite quote from Slaughterhouse 5 seems so appropriate right now.

"America is the wealthiest nation on Earth, but its people are mainly poor, and poor Americans are urged to hate themselves. To quote the American humorist Kin Hubbard, 'It ain’t no disgrace to be poor, but it might as well be.' It is in fact a crime for an American to be poor, even though America is a nation of poor. Every other nation has folk traditions of men who were poor but extremely wise and virtuous, and therefore more estimable than anyone with power and gold. No such tales are told by the American poor.

They mock themselves and glorify their betters. The meanest eating or drinking establishment, owned by a man who is himself poor, is very likely to have a sign on its wall asking this cruel question: 'if you’re so smart, why ain’t you rich?' There will also be an American flag no larger than a child’s hand — glued to a lollipop stick and flying from the cash register. Americans, like human beings everywhere, believe many things that are obviously untrue.

Their most destructive untruth is that it is very easy for any American to make money. They will not acknowledge how in fact hard money is to come by, and, therefore, those who have no money blame and blame and blame themselves. This inward blame has been a treasure for the rich and powerful, who have had to do less for their poor, publicly and privately, than any other ruling class since, say Napoleonic times.

Many novelties have come from America. The most startling of these, a thing without precedent, is a mass of undignified poor. They do not love one another because they do not love themselves. .

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.

This has been the GOP's "starve-the-beast" scheme for nearly 50 years. Meanwhile, millions suffer and struggle to get ahead as the rich get richer. See the problem here?

“To be hopeful in bad times is not foolishly romantic. Human history is not only of cruelty, but also compassion. The future is an infinite succession of presents. To live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory" Howard Zinn

“To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness.
What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places—and there are so many—where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction.
And if we do act, in however small a way, we don’t have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory.”
― Howard Zinn

Sen. Durbin isn’t taking Kristi Noem’s crap. Nor should he!

A tweet from the official Department of Homeland Security account tags @SenatorDurbin and reads:
“.@SenatorDurbin, this is SHAMEFUL. Want to talk about TERRORIZING? How about condemn the terrorist attacks and mass assaults against our law enforcement.”
It continues:
“Our @ICEgov officers are PROTECTING our communities from illegal alien gang members, rapists, and child sex offenders—that YOU are supporting. You should be thanking our brave men and women of @ICEgov instead of demonizing them.”

Senator Dick Durbin posts:
“Your agents arrested a young cancer patient’s dad. She’d just returned from chemotherapy. No criminal record. Immigrants aren’t the threat here. You are.”
Below the tweet is a photo showing a man wearing a cap and an American flag t-shirt sitting next to a smiling young girl in a sombrero at a restaurant, with food and drinks on the table in front of them.
