Yesterday, I met with a 12 year old boy in Oxnard, CA. His mom and dad have been fieldworkers for over 20 years.
ICE agents snatched his parents from the fields and left this boy alone with no clue when he’ll see them again.

There were howls of protest and denial from the GOP any time we pointed out that Republicans want to cut Social Security.

Ruth Marcus is the gold standard. She was one of the finest students I taught in 50 years at Harvard, a brilliant writer, a magnificent editor, and a good friend. I can barely imagine how painful this was for her. Jeff Bezos and Will Lewis are 100% to blame. A big middle finger to those 2 cowards.

I would submit that Trump and Musk know this — that it has been made clear to them in the deal behind the deal.
Russian state media openly says what I and others warned about, which Trump/Vance/Musk and fans—along with Jeffrey Sachs, Noam Chomsky, and their end of the horseshoe—get badly wrong:
Russia is after conquest, not peace. US weakening Ukraine encourages more Russian attacks, not Russian negotiations.

On Kremlin TV, Putin intimate Solov'yov says Russia so encouraged by Trump taking their side no longer see need for ceasefire.
"No, there won’t be any ceasefire. Our idea of peace is everything happening as we see fit”
Then plays a clip of Vance slamming Ukraine.
Vance is "our man" he says.

The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.
When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice.
The result is demagoguery and corruption.
