Every day there are multiple instances of blatant corruption. Our government policy is for sale to the highest bidder and every bad actor in the world knows it. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/w...

thinking of one of abraham lincoln's great quotes this morning:

"As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no democracy."

If you ever need a reminder of why environmental protections are so important.

This is what the Cuyahoga River in Ohio looked like in the 1960s prior to the establishment of the Clean Water Act.

A comment said it better than I could have, “beyond spectacular writing”. What an amazing story that stitches together what scientists and bureaucrats do, and how it can save lives. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/int...

Justin Trudeau gave the exact kind of press conference today that we have been waiting for from our Democratic leaders. Watch it and learn from it. No gimmicks, no stunts, no script, no platitudes, no slogans, no games. Just straight talk, honesty, sincerity and facts.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people:

PM Starmer: There can be no peace that rewards the aggressor. There is a well-known saying from the WW2: We must win the peace. History must be on the side of the victim, not the aggressor. The stakes are extremely high now, and we are ready to work together to achieve a truly just agreement.

If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.
