If Kristi Noem needs a private jet or Argentina needs $40 billion, Trump will make it happen.

But when it comes to feeding hungry kids? Trump is looking for every excuse he can find to block SNAP benefits.

He needs to follow the law and keep SNAP running.

Since we're saving coal & manufacturing & playing all the greatest hits, your regular reminder that most Americans now work in the non-tradable services sector, experience trade only as consumers, & the mercantilism does nothing but make them poorer when they shop at Target, Costco, & Walmart.

To watch live theater from Broadway two nights in a row (the Tonys and Good Night and Good Luck) is a remarkable treat.

Murrow told the truth. He refused to repeat McCarthy’s lies. Good journalism does not repeat lies.

So glad the media has uncovered Joe Biden’s attempt to undermine democracy. Bet he knew about that prostate thing all along.

I guess Biden was too old to ruin the U.S. credit rating.

Finally a little good news—an American who sees there is more to religion than how you vote.

The New York Times has discovered poetry. Is this a landmark occasion? A moment for fireworks and singing? Or proof of the end?

Happy to see two of my poems, Flying at Night and Consider Sleep, in the current BoomerLit magazine.

Flying at NightThe noise eases my mind—or clouds it.I’m never sure which.Like static, it plays behind my ears,settles inside my brain somewherebetween coils of chat-room drama and violated agreements....

Where are the former Presidents?? Shouldn’t they be saying something?? Shouldn’t they be saying that America remains true, but is being held hostage. That we must work as a nation to take back Congress in 2026?
