It's been awhile! I've been cleaning out Google bookmarks and ran across this. It's actually a lot of fun to play with, even if the result seems to be that a whole lot of the world drowns.

It occurred to me early this morning that MAGA and their ilk already HAVE a party to belong to ... one that perhaps didn't name itself what it came to be called, but is the perfect name now.

Autism. Yeah ... it's not a topic that should be ventured into over Fox News, imho. The chances are 10 out of 10 that they'll not get a damned fact right.

Someone asked me today how my writing was going. My answer: "I'm going for the soup approach - toss words into a pot, add water, spices, and something to get them to gel together and let it simmer. "

So far, it's smelling pretty good.

Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs are anything but. His mixed messaging and browbeating of our trading partners is producing some predictable consequences. I explore three of them in today’s piece, link: open.substack.com/pub/statusku...

Heather Cox Richardson has chronicled a very uneasy day to be anywhere near Dumpty. He's just not good at admitting he's wrong about anything and undoing what he did to make it worse with every word that escapes his mouth.

If Ukraine goes under because of all this, I hope the International Court of Justice in The Hague indicts orangebrain and the entire US Congress for not doing their damned jobs and the rest of the world finds them guilty as charged.
