Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

Can we reflect on the fact that, today, the VP of the US, the GOP frontrunner for the 2028 presidential nomination, said that a candidate for federal office should have to leave the country for having certain views? (Not holding my breath for a comment from the Harpers Letter dudes)

The same Brendan Carr who wanted to investigate NBC because Kamala was on SNL? The same Brendan Carr who wanted to dismantle independent fact checking and accused them of being a “censorship cartel?” Periodic reminder that the corruption is a feature, not a bug.

This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

Q: You have appeared at political rallies, & it has long been the norm that the AG not do that. Are you blurring the line by you being a political actor and yet expecting something different from judges? BLANCHE: If Democrats want me to come and speak and their rally, they can just give me a call

A not quite perfect orb weaver web formed between grass seed head stems is catching the morning light.  Other seed head stems are also present.  The background is shadowed dark foliage and stream with a few bokeh balls hinting at the reflective water.
