As Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis stated in 1933; “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.”
Today, at a time of unprecedented income & wealth inequality, his words ring truer than ever.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

It’s well known among reporters that Trump answers his cell phone. If you can get the number, he picks up.
Not the most important thing, but how is it that a Pro Publica reporter (frankly, any reporter) can call the President of the United States and he just... picks up the phone?
Trump hung up on a ProPublica reporter after being asked whether his Florida mortgages were similar to those of others he had accused of fraud. 🤔

In 1996, Donald Trump crashed a gala fundraiser for a pediatric AIDS charity and took a seat on the dais. He wasn't invited. He hadn't even contributed to the charity, and never did. He just wanted to be at the front of the room, receiving honor and applause.

Trump boasts about his philanthropy. But his giving falls short of his words.
The Republican has not followed through on many of his promises to give to charity.

The Law Allowing Senators to Sue Over Phone Searches is Worse Than You Thought
The controversial new measure paves the way for a big payday for senators—and undercuts reasonable debate about how the Justice Department should investigate Congress.

If you want butterflies in your garden next year, then try some single flowered dahlias like this one. We grow them from seed every year a packet of seeds is 50 plants. We mix them with native flowers, such as foxglove and Columbine. Nice?

A President directing DOJ as to investigations and prosecutions is a violation of public trust.
Violation of public trust is what’s called a High Crime - an offense by a public official against the public trust.
A High Crime is an impeachable offense.

Count the ways they’re corrupting DOJ: Presidents don’t direct AG’s to open criminal cases, especially ones designating only Dems for investigation when POTUS himself is involved. DOJ doesn’t publicize criminal investigations & the AG definitely doesn’t assign them on Twitter.
