One A Day For Democracy: Putting in my two cents for Ben Wikler for next DNC Chair in February. He's steered Wisconsin to two straight Governorship wins with a pro-labor Governor and helped A Supreme Court race that resulted in reproductive rights, fair maps, and an end to gerrymandering.

One A Day For Democracy: Happy with the selection of a military person General Keith Kellogg as the envoy to Ukraine. He's a cold war era warrior who understands that Russia is not our friend. My hope is that he does his best to broker something that helps Ukraine, the West, NATO, and America.

People need to calm down about the Oreshnik missile. (Not about the strike itself, which was barbarous Putin chest-thumping.) It's a medium range ballistic missile. Of course it's faster than the speed of sound because that's what ballistic missiles do. Don't fall for "AMAZING SUPERWEAPON" hype.
