Retired professor of social work and sociology. Left teaching a bit earlier than anticipated due to constant funding cuts that made program direction impossible. I have been a proud liberal since the 1980s due to Ronald Reagan.

May and June will be the start of an economic calamity we haven't seen since 1929.
This isn't hypothetical.
The coming days are bringing higher prices and disrupted supply chains, this time not because of a pandemic or a war, but self-inflicted by our country's government under this president.

USA: Dear rest of the world, we are sorry we will never mix tequila and quaaludes again (elect Trump).
The World: all is forgiven, we all make mistakes.

Well I was wrong, his publisher cancelled before going to Baltimore and New York.
After his receptions in Baltimore and NYC I fully expect the publisher to cancel the book tour. They will provide some bogus reason but won't embrace the concept that bad publicity is at least publicity.

My firm is willing to represent pro bono those fired in this unlawful and vindictive purge. These dedicated civil servants were performing their jobs and upholding the rule of law.
BREAKING on @MSNBC:
The Justice Department is firing more than a dozen officials who worked on Special Counsel Jack Smith's team.
Acting Attorney General James McHenry claims the officials could not be trusted in "faithfully implementing the president's agenda."

WOW. NBC News is reporting that more than half of the Republican Senate caucus privately admits that the Gaetz nomination will not succeed.
Repost if you think they should make their concerns public.
