“For the first time in American history, the government spent finds collected directly from taxpayers. The people literally owned the government. And the right to determine what the government did-the right to vote- became the right to spend other people’s money”-Heather Cox Richardson

I woke up this morning to catch up on the hurricane when I caught a glimpse of the Florida governor discussing dage assistance. Cattle ranchers there can get up to 150k, and I immediately thought of Jason Herbert’s work and how excited I am to read it. For once, politics did not matter.

Today was the first day since I first dropped off my daughter at school that a school shooting occurred in my home state. She's only been a pre-K student for three weeks, and I feel panicked.

In my limited free time, I added the Historians at the Movies podcast to my routine and have been blown away by the conversations. I can’t wait to get through more episodes.
