Editor – Reader – Writer. I have been following U.S. politics for 68 (!) years since I watched the '56 Democratic convention with my father the week before I turned 10. I can say with some confidence that I have never seen it this bad.

The United States imposed sanctions on four judges from the International Criminal Court. 💔 The main reason was the arrest warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. It’s a clear attempt to weaken the court’s power. 👩🏻‍⚖️⚖️

Hey, if the media is interested in a cover-up of a senile president who's not really in control of his White House, there's one going on right now?

I would just add to this 'heartbreaking'. I grew up in Detroit and have extended family in Canada. The damage that this very damaged man is doing is incalculable.

A priceless summation of this unbelievable situation. (Very proud I got through that without swearing...)

Exactly. Bert Lahr as The Cowardly Lion would best all the Republicans in Congress.

This is my favorite Valentine's greeting, and this year it goes out especially to @stephencolbert.bsky.social, @jimmykimmel.com, and @latenightseth.bsky.social for keeping some of us sane.

For anyone who has a friend/relative/colleague who works in the Federal government - please note!

The time since the U.S. election has been a challenge. Facing the fact that a significant portion of the American population is so hypnotized / distracted / oblivious / ill-educated / ill-informed that they are no longer capable of supporting or participating in a real democracy is a challenge.

I totally agree - the old party and political labels are meaningless at this point. (Although there are a few other categories we might explore...)

A greeting especially appropriate for today:

Anyone else getting vibes that we're living through an echo of Christmas season 1989? The Berlin Wall fell on November 9th and by Christmas week the countries of the Eastern Bloc were folding like dominoes. '89 seemed more hopeful tho. #NewWorld(Dis)Order?
