I want to thank the service member who shared their story about what it's like to serve right now. It's not easy to be honest about burnout and open-ended orders when you're still in uniform. Every service member has a constitutional right to speak up. That's not unpatriotic or inappropriate.

As expected, the suspension of voters in Texas was very carefully crafted to target Democratic voters in major Democratic centers. This is how the Texas GOP controls the state: by insuring that it has the lowest levels of voter participation in the entire developed world.

Texas Has Suspended More Than 1 Million Voters Ahead of Senate Race
If you’re one of the people who had their voter registration suspended, there’s still time to fix it.

Texans check your voter registration, especially those in Dallas, Collin, Denton, and Tarrant counties. From the article: Suspended voter registrations span the whole state, but these Blue/Blue leaning counties are targets: Dallas: +129,000 Collin: 56,000 Denton: 56,000 Tarrant: + 73,000

In the past, the rich used to pay higher taxes. Now, the government pays the rich interest on a swelling debt, caused largely by lower taxes on the rich. It's a big switcheroo that we need to talk about if we're going to talk about the national debt.

As we dug into a little-known church, we started to see a pattern: women describing similar abuse; a preacher who knew what was going on. And the same prescription for the problem: forgiving and forgetting it happened. Listen to this episode of "Paper Trail":

The Church That Told Sexually Abused Children to “Forgive and Forget”
A man was convicted of abusing young girls in his church. Preachers had known the allegations for years. So why didn’t they report him to the police?
