If a lawyer can be held in contempt and even disbarred for lying and presenting false evidence while questioning a sworn witness in open court, why doesn’t anything happen to a US Senator who lies and presents false evidence when questioning a sworn witness in a public hearing?

Perhaps it’s too early to think like this before midterms, but I think the 2028 Democratic Presidential Primary is going to be one of the best fields I’ve seen the party put forward in my lifetime, especially if Harris can be convinced of the wisdom to stay out.

Graham Platner being revealed to be a total POS (again) does not social democratic politics, but it does discredit those who allowed their affinity for those politics, or their commitment to the internecine struggle on their behalf, to blind them to his singular unacceptability as a candidate.

Liberty is necessary for a just society. What most libertarians I know miss, however, is that liberty is not alone sufficient for a just society.

AI has amazing applications for social media teams. One thing, though, that remains unchanged is that the biggest key to unlocking organic reach is quality content that others will want to share.

Graham Platner should cause everyone to pause and reflect:

I hope the next president turns Trump’s $250 bill into worthless monopoly money without any notice or period of transition, so that anyone vile enough to be holding one is simply out the cash.

He was the 213th-best member of Congress. I place anyone who didn’t actively thrice support the rise of a corrupt, preening, vindictive want-to-be dictator to a position of presidential authority ahead of him.

Going to war is a tough decision that should only be made by thoughtful people. Such things too often fall to insular potentates or the fickle temper of the masses. Processes that force slow deliberation are frustrating but invaluable to preventing abject calamity

If you only defend institutions when they benefit you, and tear them down when they stand in your way, then you are not an institutionalist.

I’d be interested to see whether Pam Bondi’s comportment before Congressional committees is impacted by her recent loss of status and new disincentive to remain loyal to the president at direct personal peril.

I am increasingly of the opinion that one of the most significant social and political divides in America lies between those who are capable of understanding subtext, analogy, metaphor, symbolism, and abstraction, and those who are not.

For a long time, the US has been conflating without consequence having the best military on Earth and having the most expensive military on Earth. Changes in warfare threaten to leave us with the latter while being far from the former.

By placing the dignity of all human beings front and center, liberalism provides a strong incentive to find alternatives to violent conflict. We recognize that peace is not achieved through violence, but through creativity, innovation, and the best aspects of our human character.

A quick-hit this week, but I think an important one. The online radicalization of young men may have contributed to MAGA’s success, but it’s a problem that preceded Trump’s rise, and one we’ll have to solve regardless of his decline.
