Mitt Romney said the quiet part out loud: the rich should pay more in taxes.
The Wall Street Journal attacked him for it.
But he’s right—and ignoring the math is how democracies crack.

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor.

I respectfully disagree with the jury’s verdict in the Judge Hannah Dugan case.
The trial evidence showed that Judge Dugan did not obstruct ICE agents from arresting an undocumented immigrant.
Let’s see what happens on appeal. Meanwhile, our support for Judge Dugan continues.

I used to teach elementary middle school English. We read one full book each quarter, such as:
"The House on Mango Street"
"Bud, Not Buddy"
"Inside Out and Back Again"
"The Lightning Thief"
"Of Mice and Men"
"The Diary of Anne Frank"
"Nothing But the Truth"
So many more. A lot are now banned.

In American high schools, many teenagers are assigned few full books to read from beginning to end — often just one or two per year, according to researchers and thousands of responses to an informal reader survey by The New York Times. trib.al/gNp7kWK

Been thinking about Hegseth's mother: she started out being honest about what kind of person her son was, then bowed to pressure to deny it.
Now he's looking at incarceration for war crimes.

It’s ABUSIVE for the ‘president’ to hurl that invective to any reporter, including females.
It’s so sickening to watch the deference given to the most abusive, corrupt and mentally incompetent creep, ever.
Can’t watch the disintegration of our American culture. It’s unrecognizable

Let's keep it completely factual: the only thing she hated was that she couldn't *do* anything. She said people would spit on her & she wanted to be able to respond. She was upset that she couldn't carry a weapon & make arrests.
Sarah Beckstrom's ex-boyfriend told NBC News she dreamed of becoming an FBI special agent.
She didn't want to deploy to D.C.
"She hated it. She cried about it."
But she started visiting monuments and museums and started enjoying it.
May she rest in peace.

The store owner was in on the whole thing--he was secretly backing the Maximilianistas because they promised to give him thousands of acres of land.
