The Trump Vance performance today was one of the great foreign policy fails in US history, the biggest Oval Office clusterfuck the public has ever had the chance to watch in real time. But it was much worse than that. Another piece from me. www.thedailybeast.com/trump-thinks...
Trump Thinks He Humiliated Zelensky. He Really Humiliated the United States
Trump’s Oval Office mob show proves he’s no Don Corleone. He’s Luca Brasi—with nukes.

Absolutely appalling. Trump should be talking to Putin like that, not Zelenskyy.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

Trump is the consequence rather than the cause of the anti-democratic surge.
Here's how the Supreme Court's infamous Citizens United decision — issued 15 years ago today — overwhelmed our political system with money and brought us to our current moment.

Had a great time plein air painting yesterday with Pintal, Pintores Al Aire Libre de Costa Rica at the Parque Nacional in San José, Costa Rica. I ran out of time and sun though, so I’ll need to finish this one on the studio.

The line between news and entertainment has been blurred by social media over the last decade because we have fewer people who are able to critically analyze, read for understanding, and think critically.
Buckle up, it's only going to get worse.
