Isn't it weird that this week a currently sitting president had to pay a woman MILLIONS of dollars for *raping* (and defaming) her—and the media has forgotten all about it? There was a time that this would have been the ONLY story—until the rapist was driving from office.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

New in PN: Lindsey Graham and the rot of modern conservatism "Graham died a coward. From Gingrich to Trump, he embodied the movement-to-racket transformation of the GOP. Has America ever seen a capitulation so self-abnegating as his conversion from snarling Trump critic into swooning cheerleader?"

Lindsey Graham and the rot of modern conservatism
From Gingrich to Trump, Graham was a fixture as the GOP became increasingly malignant.

John Adams and the US Senate said that “the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.” A guy who drink drinks five gin-and-tonics before noon says the US was meant to be theocracy. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust

The Obama Presidential Center opens this month and it looks ready to receive people from all over. I spent a few moments on Saturday evening capturing the campus with a fiery sunset as the backdrop. Love the warm glow from within, too
An aerial image of the Obama Presidential Center at sunset in Chicago. The granite tower stands brightly in the middle of the frame with free parks and pathways in the foreground. The sky is aways in soft blues and pinks of sunset.

A whooping cough outbreak in an elementary school down the road. Meanwhile I finally got around to reading Candle In the Dark and only a few pages in, you get to its eerily prescient passage. Sigh.
"I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...

The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance"

Search-and-rescue crews were “flying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week. Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool. But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.
