They say it's about running government like a business, but imagine the worst boss you've ever had, and he's high on drugs, and also embezzling company money, but also the guy who put him in charge runs the police, so he's not gonna get arrested.

As someone who spends a lot time thinking about the values I want to teach my kid (besides PLEASE DON’T EAT DIRT), the thing I keep coming back to is this: I want him to believe that the strongest, bravest thing he can do is give a shit about other people—especially ones who aren’t like him at all.

Maybe I'm crazy, but when the new authoritarian leader is executing a blitzkrieg to consolidate power and demolish the pillars of our democracy, maybe the opposing party shouldn't vote for his bootlicking nominees who were selected for their blind fealty. I'm crazy, right?
16 Democratic senators recently voted to confirm the Trump-appointed Treasury Secretary who just gave Musk’s team access to a Treasury payment system that disburses trillions and holds mass quantities of personal information. Food for thought. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
