How can anyone with a shred of integrity or self-respect actually say those words — that standing up to an authoritarian goon “ didn’t work”?

I mean, unless you’re just an abject coward, what other choice is there?

My grandmother’s depression-era cooking (and other sensibilities) was enough to convince me at an early age that even though we were poor, we still had it better than my parents did when they grew up.

I noticed with our kids they didn’t want to have a baby only starter apartment/home like we did.

I’m seeing that a lot: kids expecting in their 20s what their parents had in their 40s.

Ex post facto?

A populist who lived off of daddy’s money became President, so I’m not sure what their complaint is.

I am appreciating the skepticism of immunity for contractors. Given this administration’s preference for contractors, it may make seeking future justice easier.

State prisons and federal prisons are very different in terms of what is allowed.

Even though letters, books, and other mail are should to improve rehabilitation, they’re often blocked because prison officials are assholes (and, purportedly, drug smuggling).

Some good 1A case law exists here.

She’s nearly 60. (Her mom is 84.) If she’d been groomed for the position, it should have been handed off years ago.

It’s okay to skip a generation here. We need more millennials in the House anyway.

(Also: dynasties are 🤮)

We don’t need to teach that Dems fold under pressure; it’s widely known!

The problem with “real GDP per capita” is it assumes GDP gains are equally spread at a time when income polarization is higher than in decades.

I spent my Saturday teaching 13-year-olds about finance, debt, and yes, risk pooling.

If middle school kids can get it, he has no excuse.

Then stand up harder.

Perhaps reconsider the causal sexism of describing someone that way.

Visible trend in any trailer park.
